David Rock

Meet Emily and Paul, the parents of two young children. Emily is a newly promoted executive in a large corporation, while Paul has his own business as a consultant. Their lives, like all of ours, are filled with a bewildering blizzard of emails, phone calls, yet more emails, meetings, projects, proposals, and plans. For them, just staying ahead of the storm has become a seemingly insurmountable task.

In this book, we travel inside the brains of Emily and Paul as they attempt to sort the vast quantities of information they're presented with and figure out how to prioritize, organize, and act on it. Fortunately for Emily and Paul-and for readers of Your Brain at Work-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 to succeed in it-and still feel energized at the end of the day, with a sense of accomplishment.
