Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People "This is the best, the most helpful, and the brainiest book I've read on how the brain affects how, why and what we do and act." -- Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Business and University Professor, University of Southern California and author of On Becoming a Leader "This book will improve how you work--by showing you how your brain works!" -- Marshall Goldsmith, author of What Got You Here Won't Get You There "Rock makes the science of your mind accessible and relevant." -- Daniel Akst, Fortune Small Business "Rock deserves an ovation for his writing and direction." -- Fort Worth Star-Telegram "Rock makes the science of your mind accessible and relevant." -- Fortune Small Business "A highly informative look at the way our minds work at work." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press

Synopsis
A researcher and consultant burrows deep inside the heads of one modern two-career couple to examine how each partner processes the workday-revealing how a more nuanced understanding of the brain can allow us to better organize, prioritize, recall, and sort our daily lives. Emily and Paul are the parents of two young children, and professionals with different careers. Emily is the newly promoted vice president of marketing at a large corporation; Paul works from home or from clients' offices as an independent IT consultant. Their days are filled with a bewildering blizzard of emails, phone calls, more emails, meetings, projects, proposals, and plans. Just staying ahead of the storm has become a seemingly insurmountable task. In Your Brain at Work, Dr. David Rock goes inside Emily and Paul's brains to see how they function as each attempts to sort, prioritize, organize, and act on the vast quantities of information they receive in one typical day. Dr. Rock is an expert on how the brain functions in a work setting. By analyzing what is going on in their heads, he offers solutions Emily and Paul (and all of us) can use to survive and thrive in today's hyperbusy work environment-and still feel energized and accomplished at the end of the day. In Your Brain at Work, Dr. Rock explores issues such as: why our brains feel so taxed, and how to maximize our mental resources why it's so hard to focus, and how to better manage distractions how to maximize the chance of finding insights to solve seemingly insurmountable problems how to keep your cool in any situation, so that you can make the best decisions possible how to collaborate more effectively with others why providing feedback is so difficult, and how to make it easier how to be more effective at changing other people's behavior and much more., This book will help you be more focused and productive, work smarter, stay cool under pressure, reduce the length of meetings, and even tackle the hardest challenge of all: influencing other people. Along the way it may help you be a better parent and partner, and perhaps even live longer.... I know a lot about how brains get easily overwhelmed, so I have no intention of drowning you in complicated science here. Instead, in this book you'll get to know your brain in a way that brains like: by reading a story. This story involves two characters, Emily and Paul, as they experience a set of challenges over a single day at work. As you watch Emily and Paul go through their day, some of the smartest neuroscientists in the world will explain why they struggle with their email, schedules, and colleagues. Even better, you will also get to see what Emily and Paul might have done differently if they'd understood their brains better.
