Download Autopilot: The Art & Science of Doing Nothing AudioBook Free
Andrew Smart desires you to be seated and do little or nothing much more often - and he has the science to make clear why. At every switch we're forced to do more, faster, and better: That drumbeat resounds throughout our wage-slave population. Multitasking isn't just a virtue, it's a necessity. Literature such as Getting Things Done, The One Minute Manager, and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People regularly top the best vendor lists, and have spawned a considerable industry. But Andrew Smart argues that slackers may hold the last laugh. The latest neuroscience shows that the "culture of efficiency" isn't just ineffective, it can be harmful to your well-being. He makes a compelling case - guaranteed by technology - that filling up life with activity at work and at home actually hurts your brain. A survivor of corporate-mandated "Six Sigma" training to improve efficiency, Smart has channeled a self-described "loathing" of the time-management industry into a witty, educational, and wide-ranging audiobook that pulls on the most recent research into brain power. Utilize it to make clear to bosses, family, and friends for you to relax - right now.
