Meet Emily and Paul, the parents of two young children. Emily is a 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. For them, just staying ahead of the storm has become a seemingly insurmountable task.

In this book, we travel inside the brains of Emily and Paul as they attempt to sort the vast quantities of information they're presented with and figure out how to prioritize, organize, and act on it. Fortunately for Emily and Paul—and for readers of Your Brain at Work—they're in good hands: David Rock knows how the brain works—and more specifically, how it works in a work setting.

Your Brain at Work explores:

Why your brains feels so taxed, and how to take full advantage of your 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 with others more effectively

Why providing feedback is so difficult, and how to make it easier

How to effectively change other people's behavior

Rock shows how it's possible not only to survive in today's overwhelming work environment but to succeed in it—and still feel energized at the end of the day, with a sense of accomplishment.
