About this listen

Peter Bregman, author of the Wall Street Journal best-seller 18 Minutes, offers strategies to replace energy-wasting, counter-productive habits that commonly derail us with truly effective ones.

The things we want most - peace of mind, fulfilling relationships, to do well at work - are surprisingly straightforward to realize. But too often our best efforts to attain them are built on destructive habits that sabotage us. In Four Seconds, Peter Bregman shows us how to replace negative patterns with energy boosting and productive behaviors. To thrive in our fast-paced world all it takes is to pause for as few as four seconds - the length of a deep breath - allowing us to make intentional and tactical choices that lead to better outcomes. Four Seconds reveals:

  • Why listening - not arguing - is the best strategy for changing someone's mind
  • Why setting goals can actually harm performance
  • How to use strategic disengagement to recover focus and willpower
  • How taking responsibility for someone else's failure can actually help your team

Practical and insightful, Four Seconds provides simple solutions to create the results you want without the stress.

Simplisity

This book is a fantastic source of knowledge for progress not just in Buisness but for general life practices that tend to stagnate individual's in many ways.

I recommend this book if you are a procrastinating individual or you are overweight or you are getting through tough decisions in life that burn candour out of the inner person.

The book is simple to follow, not boring or full of BS dogmas. IT WILL TRULLY HELP but it.
