The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing
When, The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing by Daniel Pink is another in a great line of books by Mr. Pink. When continues on with the style of Mr. Pink’s previous books. This is a good thing. The book is extremely easy to read and follow.
The underlying theme of the book is that When we do things can have a great impact on what and how we do those things. As humans, we frequently discount the concept of when. Mr. Pink makes some great arguments for understanding the power of when.
The book begins with the Hidden Pattern of Everyday life. We learn about the power of napping (limit to about 29 minutes), resting, and socializing.
We move on to the power of Beginnings, Endings and In Between. Stories are told throughout the book to reinforce the concepts. These stories help cement the argument.
Finally, we get to Synching and Thinking. Here we learn about the power of being part of something larger than ourselves. We also get a peek at the impact of working together.
All in all, a very quick read. I enjoyed the information. The book has reinforced many things that I’ve learned in a variety of previous experiences as well.
