Описание книги

Overloaded? I’ll bet you are. We all lead busy lives. You fall into bed exhausted at the end of the day, feeling that you’ve got a lot done. Perhaps you are getting lots done. But is it stuff that really matters? Or is it just stuff? It’s time to wise up. You will never clear that list. Get used to the idea that some things will never get done. Not delayed. Not rescheduled. Not re-prioritized. But simply dropped. And from now on, instead of trying to clear that endless to-do list, you’re going to do a much smarter thing. You’re going to just do the important stuff. And the brilliant thing is, you already have the power to do this. That power is to do less. Soon enough, you’ll have the space to enjoy the moment, be creative, find new or better ways of doing things, get ideas, and spot opportunities you would have missed when you were running around. In short – you’ll be happier. Much happier. As soon as you stop doing, the power of doing less will begin to flow.

How to Stand Out

Proven Tactics for Getting Noticed

.....

In my work as an organizational psychologist, I’m a sceptic. I’m wary of gurus and advisers who claim that they can work miracles. Before recommending anything, I like to have proof. I like to read a research journal and know that a reputable group of scientists at a top university or business school has actually done a study to see what genuinely helped people. So rather than simply telling people what I feel has worked for me personally, I try as far as possible to recommend only techniques that have been revealed by researchers to work for most everyone.

So in this book I present you with proven techniques, exercises and advice. I’ll show you how psychologists, economists and other scientific sleuths worked out what works and what doesn’t. I’ll walk you through some of their studies and include detailed references at the end of the book if you wish to follow up further.
