HOW TO HAVE A GOOD DAY

Book ID/图书代码: 14779014B67949

English Summary/英文概要: The first part of the book lays out seven big cross-cutting themes in cognitive science - drawing from neuroscience, psychology and behavioral economics - that I believe are enormously helpful for us to understand if we are interested in improving how our working lives feel from day-to-day. Of course I could talk for days about this, but what I’ve done in the main presentation below is pick out some highlights for each of the seven themes, and included a few immediate practical tips for navigating our workplaces.
The second part of the book is more prescriptive, taking that science and applying it directly to the big things that determine whether we can say - ’yep, that was a good day’: whether we performed well, how much we enjoyed the work, the support we received from others, our resilience when things weren’t perfect, the quality of interactions with colleagues, our sense of balance and sustainability, and whether we made progress on the things that matter to us. My second ’workshop materials’ presentation is organized around those big topics (performance, enjoyment, support, resilience, relationships, balance, action), and has one or two killer questions that you can immediately start to use when you are wrestling with any one of these topics
