One Second Ahead (inbunden, eng)

In today’s complex, fast-paced, always-on world, our ability to perform at our best is challenged. Many of us feel under pressure to deliver results in the face of competing demands on our time and attention.

In this book, Rasmus Hougaard, Jacqueline Carter, and Gillian Coutts, share simple, yet profound tools and techniques to enhance performance, creativity, and wellbeing at work.

The premise is that we can rewire the brain to be responsive rather than reactive so we can do more of the right things as opposed to just lots of things. The key is getting One Second Ahead leveraging the power of corporate mindfulness.
