Your Brain at Work

Meet Emily and Paul: The parents of two young children, Emily is the newly promoted VP of marketing at a large corporation while Paul works from home or from clients offices as an independent IT consultant. Their lives, like all of ours, are filled with a bewildering blizzard of emails, phone calls, yet more emails, meetings, projects, proposals, and plans. Just staying ahead of the storm has become a seemingly insurmountable task. In this book, we travel inside Emily and Pauls brains as they attempt to sort the vast quantities of information theyre presented with, figure out how to prioritize it, organize it and act on it. Fortunately for Emily and Paul, theyre in good hands: David Rock knows how the brain works-and more specifically, how it works in a work setting. Rock shows how its possible for Emily and Paul, and thus the reader, not only to survive in todays overwhelming work environment but succeed in it-and still feel energized and accomplished at the end of the day.
