| Summary |
"In Four Seconds, Peter Bregman shows that the answer is to pause for as few as four seconds -- the length of a deep breath -- to replace bad habits and reactions with more productive behaviors. In his trademark style of blending personal anecdotes with practical advice, Bregman reveals some of our most common counter-productive tendencies and describes counter-intuitive strategies for acting more intentionally, including: Why setting goals can actually harm your performance ; How to use strategic disengagement to recover focus and willpower ; Why listening not arguing is the best strategy for changing someone's mind ; How taking responsibility for someone else's failure can actually help you succeed. Drawn from Bregman's hugely popular Harvard Business Review blog, this engaging and wise book provides simple solutions to create the results you want without the stress" -- Provided by publisher. |
