About this listen
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's and Paul's brains as they attempt to sort the vast quantities of information they're presented with, figure out how to prioritize it, organize it, and act on it. Fortunately for Emily and Paul, they're in good hands: David Rock knows how the brain works - and more specifically, how it works in a work setting. Rock shows how it's possible for Emily and Paul, and thus the listener, not only to survive in today's 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 it's 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 people's behavior

The best of the best
Changed my life. Listen and think about what you listened, then read the book, this will make you think about lots of things you didn't know that exists, and you will see that all makes a lot of sense.

Connecting the brain
Life changer if you can apply to your life. For me the scenarios are awesome and help me understand the lessons better. Highly recommended for all walks of life, this really gave me a mental sweat. At the time of writing, I have been through the book 3 times. The first read (listen) took me two months to slowly digest the concepts, and with the persistence of my girlfriend I kept at it as we would discuss the book as I made progress. I will continue to study this book over the years I think. P.s this is also my first audible review ever, that's how strongly I feel about this book.
