YOUR BRAIN AT WORK Strategies for Overcoming Distraction, Regaining Focus, and Working Smarter All Day Long

With his rich baritone voice, Bob Walter adds appealing gravitas to this state-of-the-art guide to kinder, gentler productivity at work. The well-organized book pulls together concepts from psychoanalytic theory, Buddhism, managerial psychology, neuroscience, and ADD coaching practice. Walter’s natural diction and phrasing make every concept sound pleasingly familiar and understandable. Clear writing by a nonscientist also helps, along with the clever metaphor of representing intentional thought as occurring on a stage where actors (thoughts) come and go. A broad range of functional challenges unfolds in the running narrative of two executives who struggle with overload and distraction before they implement the author’s intuitive strategies.
