Daniel H. Pink, the #1 bestselling author of Drive
and To Sell Is Human, unlocks the scientific secrets
to good timing to help you flourish at work, at school, and
at home.
Everyone knows that timing is
everything. But we don’t know much about timing itself. Our
lives are a never-ending stream of “when” decisions: when to
start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a
person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and
guesswork.
Timing, it’s often assumed, is an art. In
When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Pink
shows that timing is really a science.
Drawing on a
rich trove of research from psychology, biology, and
economics, Pink reveals how best to live, work, and succeed.
How can we use the hidden patterns of the day to build the
ideal schedule? Why do certain breaks dramatically improve
student test scores? How can we turn a stumbling beginning
into a fresh start? Why should we avoid going to the
hospital in the afternoon? Why is singing in time with other
people as good for you as exercise? And what is the ideal
time to quit a job, switch careers, or get
married?
In When, Pink distills cutting-edge
research and data on timing and synthesizes them into a
fascinating, readable narrative packed with irresistible
stories and practical takeaways that give readers compelling
insights into how we can live richer, more engaged lives.
