When : the scientific secrets of perfect timing

En savoir plus sur le livre

Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of Drive and To Sell is Human, explores the scientific secrets of timing to enhance our lives at work, school, and home. We constantly face decisions about "when" to act—whether to change jobs, schedule classes, or commit to projects. Yet, these choices are often made haphazardly, relying on intuition and guesswork. Pink argues that this is a flawed approach, asserting that timing is not merely an art but a science. Drawing from extensive research in psychology, biology, neuroscience, and economics, he reveals how to optimize our lives through better timing. He discusses how to leverage the hidden patterns of the day for ideal scheduling, the impact of specific daily breaks on children's academic performance, and strategies for transforming mediocre beginnings into fresh starts. Pink also examines how endings can enhance motivation and meaning. Ultimately, he provides insights on making time a supportive ally rather than an adversary. With a blend of cutting-edge research, compelling narratives, and practical takeaways, this work will reshape your understanding of your past, present, and future.
