Smarter Faster Better

by Charles Duhigg

At the core of Smarter Faster Better are eight key productivity 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 behavioral economics—as well as the experiences of CEOs, educational reformers, four-star generals, FBI agents, airplane pilots, and Broadway songwriters—this painstakingly researched book explains that the most productive people, companies, and organizations don’t merely act differently.

I recommend paying special attention to the chapter on probabalistic thinking. Although ranking job opportunities has always been a part of goal setting for recruiters, reading this chapter is what sparked the idea to include “Probabilities” in my PHASE process. He notes how being aware of what you DON’T know is just as important as the inventory of what you know. I’ve read this book multiple times and love it!
