Smarter, Faster, Better: The Secrets of Being Productive

In the international bestseller The Power of Habit, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charles Duhigg explained why we do what we do. In Smarter Faster Better, he applies the same relentless curiosity, rigorous reporting and rich storytelling to explain how we can get better at the things we do. The result is a groundbreaking exploration of the science of productivity. At the core of Smarter Faster Better are eight key concepts from motivation and goal-setting to focus and decision-making that explain why some people and companies get so much done. Drawing on the latest findings in neuroscience, psychology and behavioural eco­nomics as well as the experiences of CEOs, educational reformers, four-star generals, air­plane pilots and Broadway songwriters this painstakingly researched book explains that the most productive people, companies and organizations don’t merely act differently.
