2018

As we wind down 2018 and look into the next year with self-reflection and optimism, I send you this book as a means of paying forward one of the best gifts I received this year. WHEN, The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, by Daniel Pink is filled with "ah ha" moments from start to finish. As Miles Davis once said, "Time isn't the main thing. It's the Only Thing."

Written by NY Times bestselling author and regular TED Speaker, Daniel Pink, WHEN does a fascinating job of building a scientific case that we all are subject to peaks, troughs, and rebounds in our daily energy. Pink's assertion is that we all can significantly benefit from organizing our workflow and downtime in sync with this rhythm and as a result accomplish more, reduce stress, and feel refreshed for our most important relationships and projects. His research and stories span the globe and cross cultures making what could be a mundane topic surprisingly fun and engaging.

Personally, WHEN has helped me get more enjoyment and productivity out of my personal and professional time—but clearly a work in progress... I hope you find this book as interesting and useful as I did.
