Whatever Works: The Small Cues That Make a Surprising Difference in Our Success at Work—and How to Create a Happier Office by Thalma LobelMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The book is about the small cues that make a significant difference to our success at work.
Another book by the Thalma Lobel is - Sensation.
How do self help books today look like ? Vast majority focus on one obvious and important subject and lay out its secrets and conclusions methodically. Most of these books harness obvious factors like harnessing motivation, getting organized, networking, and so on.
This book is a bit different. This book focuses on elements that either we think that they do not matter or we are not aware of. There are so many extremely valuable and interesting findings in psychology that should be made available to everyone, not just to professionals.
What does this book contain ?
What are the small - small things YOU can do to improve your life at OFFICE,
Did you know People focus better and be more creative with the ambient noise of a coffee shop ?
Did you know that the phone conversations, also called halfalogues , are the most distracting for co - workers ?
Did you know that the presence of a plant in one's physical space improves attention and recovery after performing a mentally fatiguing cognitive task ?
Did you know that nature is a reliable stress reducer/buster ?
Did you know that Women feel that they are more scrutinized, than men, for their appearance in an open office ?
Did you know that Light and brightness influence self control and self awareness ? it will motivate the employees to adopt the behaviors that impresses around them.
Did you know that darkness makes people feel disconnected and distant from others and increases the feeling that they can do what they want ?
There so many such information that the book talks about. this book is very interesting
and once you start you wouldn't want to put it down. it talks about our day to day life and how we can use latest research to our advantage and make everyone's life better around us.
I see that some of the things that she talks about offices is already implemented by some experts in my office. but I never knew why it was so ? It is good feeling that I know that now. I am going to put one live plant on my office desk now.
Also, Author's writing style is good, the way she has weaved the research info in the book is interesting.
Overall, I liked this book. I think that this book is highly informative and useful. I recommend this book - Read it ! Read it !! Read it !!!
