Description

All too often our best efforts to accomplish the things we want most are built on bad habits that sabotage us. We feel overwhelmed by our increasingly large to-do list, so we automatically multitask to get more done and end up more stressed and more overloaded. We say something with the hopes of impressing the other person but instead offend them then spend days trying to repair the damage.

We give what we think is a pep talk to our team but they walk away demotivated.How can we be most effective and productive in a world that moves too fast and demands so much of us? In Four Seconds, Peter Bregman reveals some of our most common counter-productive tendencies and describes counterintuitive strategies for acting more intentionally. Drawn from Bregman's hugely popular Harvard Business Review blog, this engaging and wise book provides simple solutions to create the results you want without the stress.
