A groundbreaking exploration of the science of productivity from the author of the international bestseller The Power of Habit. In his international bestseller The Power of Habit, Pulitzer Prize-winner Charles Duhigg explained why we do what we do. Now he applies the same relentless curiosity and masterful analysis to the question- how can each of us achieve more? Drawing on the very latest findings in neuroscience, psychology and behavioural economics, he demonstrates the eight simple principles that govern productivity. He demonstrates how the most dynamic and effective people - from CEOs to film-makers to software entrepreneurs - deploy them. And he shows how you can, too. 'Charles has some wonderful advice for increasing productivity . . . the tips he highlights have most definitely played a huge part in helping me to build the Virgin brand.' Richard Branson 'In Smarter Faster Better Duhigg finds provocative answers to a riddle of our age- how to become more productive (by two times, or even ten times) and less busy.' Jim Collins 'There are valuable lessons in Smarter Faster Better . . . I never felt like putting it down.' Financial Times
