Review: When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing

Posted on March 5, 2018 by GPL

When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing
by Daniel H. Pink
4 stars

When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing is the latest book by bestselling American author, Daniel H. Pink.  This is a powerful book on timing and understanding on when to make decisions based on the time of day to gain control of your environment to shape outcomes in your future. Do you know the best time to appear before a friendly judge, best time to get a complete colonoscopy or the best time to have a meeting at work? Not just relying on life to happen as it should, Pink cites many fascinating examples of scientific research on this subject giving you simple, practical steps to improve your productivity and live better. There are exercises and charts to allow you to evaluate your own performance and figure out your greatest work strengths, as well as your weaknesses. I found this book fun and compelling and I loved all the examples causing me to rethink how to approach different areas in my life. Recommend!
