Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business

Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charles Duhigg, Smarter Faster Better unpacks why some people and organizations get so much done—and others don’t. Using compelling stories and cutting-edge research in psychology and neuroscience, Duhigg identifies eight key productivity principles, such as motivation, goal setting, and managing cognitive biases.
The book draws from diverse case studies—ranging from airline cockpits to classrooms—to reveal how mental frameworks can significantly impact performance and outcomes. More than just a how-to guide, this is a narrative-driven analysis of how productivity is shaped by the way we think, not just the actions we take.
Practical, thought-provoking, and highly readable, it’s a powerful toolkit for anyone seeking to improve their life and work.
