Charles Duhigg - Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business

Duhigg, author of the bestselling The Power of Habit, is a Pulitzer-winning New York Times reporter who has also garnered the National Academies of Sciences, National Journalism, and George Polk awards; clearly, he knows something about productivity and success, the topics of his second book. Drawing on examples from business, the military, filmmaking, and a host of individual lives, he shows that it’s not what we think but how we think that makes us productive rather than merely busy. Buttressing these case studies with evidence from neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics, Duhigg distills the lessons to eight key concepts about motivation, goals, and decision making.
