Story
In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman takes us on a ground-breaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think and make choices. One system is fast, intuitive and emotional; the other is slower, more deliberative and more logical. Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities-and also the faults and biases-of fast thinking and reveals the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and behaviour.

What valuable company is nobody building? The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won't make a search engine. If you are copying these guys, you aren't learning from them. It's easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to 10, adding more of something familiar. Every new creation goes from zero to one. This book is about how to get there.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Publisher's Summary
'The most productive man you'd ever hope to meet' – TED
Hyperfocus by Chris Bailey is a practical guide to managing your attention – the most powerful resource you have to become more creative, get stuff done, and live a more meaningful life.
In Hyperfocus, you will learn:
- How working fewer hours can increase our productivity
- How we get more done by making our work harder, not easier
- How we do our best creative work when we're the most tired
Our attention has never been as overwhelmed as it is today and we've never been so busy while accomplishing so little.
In Hyperfocus, Chris Bailey provides profound insights into how we can best manage our attention. He reveals how the brain switches between two mental modes – hyperfocus, our deep concentration mode, and scatterfocus, our creative, reflective mode – and how the surest path to being our most creative and efficient selves at work is to combine them both.
Critic Reviews
"The best productivity plans call for strategy, not just hacks or tactics – and Hyperfocus gives you strategy in spades. When you read this book, get ready to do your most important work!." (Chris Guillebeau, author of Side Hustle)

Very basic read: Won't recommend 6 hours.
I won't say totally useless book; you will find one good information every 45 min. Rest is just repetitive, contradictory, written just because it was asked to be written or what I mean is very mechanical, no emotion into it. It felt like a corporate project rather than someone trying to help me. The productivity jargons used were too evident.
In short: it's not worth your time.

Great insight into how our minds work
The point of any books like this is to find some insight and I am happy with finding just a few precious nuggets of helpful points. This is full of good stuff, however, becomes a little over repetitive. Calling positive thinking wishful thinking made me laugh as it misunderstands what positive thinking is. Being positive without a plan or strategy is wishful thinking. Positive thinking with a firm and detailed strategy is not wishful thinking. This was the only point that really had me shaking my head. For much of the rest I was the nodding dog. Well worth a listen.

For erratic minds seeking tools and understanding
This book is essentially about how to organise your thoughts. This is a great book if you have an erratic mind, that doesn’t switch off and is eternally curious at the world around you!
I loved how the author explained the constructs between intelligence and creativity, saying… both intelligence and creativity involve connecting dots but in different ways. Intelligence involves connecting dots so we understand a given topic more intricately. Creativity also involves connecting dots, but in new and novel ways.

Not a productive use of my listening time
He seems like a nice guy but he needs to respect his listeners’ time and get to the point more. Especially given the subject matter! So much repetition and meandering that I struggled to remain focused on the content. I hung on for as long as I could hoping to learn something new, but had to call it quits. Still giving it three stars as it appears there are people who do derive value from it, and who perhaps haven’t come across the same material before.
I find the slow speaking style with randomly placed word emphasis and pauses somewhat distracting, but again I think that’s just a personal thing. I think overall he’s done a reasonable job.

Not a mature work, definitely for young people
First up, genuinely interested in the version of this book he writes once he's had children. Clearly this man has a lot of spare time, which none of the real adults I know has.
This book is slow and patronising if you already participate in productivity literature.
Heard a lot of positive things about Chris Bailey, but while this book wasn't necessarily a waste of time, it was twice as long as it needed to be for me. Some of his advice is nice but belabours a point and he talks about himself and his environment and what is on his desk, what he's looking at etc, to the point where it actually makes me angry, it's comes across as narcissistic which is an aspect of this genre that is unattractive, and actually kind of contradictory. Definitely comes across as being an arrogant young person himself.
If he keeps over-using the word "dots" I'm taking away some stars. Also I'm shocked he's referred to 10K hours but not the actual thesis of Eric Anderson, the actual researcher behind the concept.

Read, re-read and read again
This is such a great book. It provides so many insights into productivity and how you can be more productive. I am through my 2nd read and I am sure I will return for a 3rd and 4th time.
