Their lives, like all of ours, are filled with a bewildering blizzard of emails, phone calls, meetings, projects, proposals, and plans. Just staying ahead of the storm has become a seemingly insurmountable task. In this book, we travel inside Emily and Paul's brains as they attempt to manage the vast quantities of information they're presented with. Fortunately, they're in good hands: David Rock knows how the brain works-- and more specifically, how it works in a work setting. Rock shows how it's possible not only to survive in today's overwhelming work environment but succeed in it-- and still feel energized and accomplished at the end of the day.
