About this listen
In the international best seller The Power of Habit, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charles Duhigg explained why we do what we do. In Smarter Faster Better, he applies the same relentless curiosity, rigorous reporting and rich storytelling to explain how we can get better at the things we do. The result is a groundbreaking exploration of the science of productivity.
A group of data scientists at Google embark on a four-year study of how the best teams function and find that how a group interacts is much more important than who is in the group.
A marine corps general, faced with low morale among recruits, reimagines boot camp - and discovers that instilling a 'bias toward action' can turn even the most directionless teenagers into self-motivating achievers.
The filmmakers behind Disney's Frozen are on the brink of catastrophe - until they shake up their team in just the right way, spurring a creative breakthrough that leads to one of the highest-grossing movies of all time.
What do these people have in common? They know that productivity relies on making certain choices. The way we frame our daily decisions; the big ambitions we embrace and the easy goals we ignore; the cultures we establish as leaders to drive innovation: these are the things that separate the merely busy from the genuinely productive.
At the core of Smarter Faster Better are eight key concepts - from motivation and goal setting to focus and decision making - that explain why some people and companies get so much done. Drawing on the latest findings in neuroscience, psychology and behavioural economics - as well as the experiences of CEOs, educational reformers, four-star generals, airplane pilots and Broadway songwriters - this painstakingly researched book explains that the most productive people, companies and organizations don't merely act differently.
They view the world, and their choices, in profoundly different ways.

The author through various real life examples tells us the psychological reasons which makes us Productive. The book needs to be read atleast twice to get a better understanding of the concept explained in the book

Ok read
Felt it dragged a bit too much. Could have been much shorter to explain the few concepts introduced in the book.

Good follow up for The Power of Habit
Great case studies and in depth analysis of some successes, failures and disasters. Mike Chamberlain's narration makes the book and characters come alive. It does take some concentration and focus to follow the finer points. Read it twice or thrice to capture the entire essence

very nicely narrated book on behavioral science!!
very nicely narrated book on behavioral science, though i find the explanation of illustrations stretched a bit too long. nevertheless, the book leaves you with a profound understanding of habits, patterns and difference they make in one's life over the long term..

Not captivating enough!
Disappointed compared with Power of Habit by the same author. Struggled to finish! Most of the concepts were very general - you would have been through the concepts in other self help books. I wasn't left with any concrete ideas at the end of the book.

lots of fillers and useless stories in between
why can't the writer be straight forward and avoid junks/fillers in between.
they must acknowledge that it wastes a lot of time for listeners
just listen the last 30 min which is the gist , rest 9.5 hrs is a crap
