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.
