About the Book: Your Brain at Work David Rock takes the reader inside the heads-literally-of a modern two-career couple as they mentally process their workday and show us how a more nuanced understanding of the brain allows us to better organize, prioritize, remember, and process our daily life. Meet Emily and Paul: The parents of two young children, Emily is newly promoted executive in a large corporation, while Paul has his own business as a 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. Your Brain At Work explores issues such as: why our brains feel so taxed, and how to maximize our mental resources why its so hard to focus, and how to better manage distractions how to maximize your chance of finding insights that can 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 peoples behavior About the Author: David Rock David Rock is a leadership coach and public speaker who advises corporations around the world.
