Smarter Faster Better Paperback – 21 March 2016

I picked up this book after I read Charles Duhigg's, "The Power of Habit". This book is packed with good insights and observations on productivity and the appendix ties it all together with a practical example in classic Duhigg style. The only gripe I have is that there are too many concepts packed into a small book. There's enough content in here to write 4-5 separate books, each exploring a unique facet of productivity. Perhaps that's why when you read it all at once it all seems a bit disjointed. Regardless, one can still reap many benefits by focusing on one chapter at a time and supplementing it with a real life action plan to find out which techniques work the best.

Once again Charles Duhigg takes you at a surprising speed into the inner world of life and brings out winner.you may have to be patient till the first 80 pages to get into speedI am his fan

Interesting set of eight ideas discussed tone Smarter, Faster and Better.These are a set of disjoint tools that a reader can use one,more or all at once. Personally, I loved the topics on innovation, focus and disfluency.Strongly recommended

This book is so simple to read and understand. It was nicely split into 8 steps and all the examples were described as some real stories which is easy to connect with our own lives,. Tbis is one of the best books I ever read on objective ways to utilise psychology in improving speed and productivity

This book is a must read if you really want to be smarter faster and better in today's life. Just love you Charles Duhigg.

Well written with real-life examples that will help navigate through one’s life if applied meticulously. An interesting and absorbing read.

It's good book.. Different type of motivation book with intriguing writing. Author has taken the old concept of message giving story telling art to another level...

Feels like watching a movie when you start a chapter. Introduces concepts very slowly by unravelling events from which insight has been taken for the book. All real life events. Can't put down the book before a chapter is done. And what refreshing and provocative concepts behind each chapter!! Highly recommended

I loved 'The Power of Habit' and was really excited to read this. In many ways I wasn't disappointed: if there's one thing Charles Duhigg can do, it's write in a fascinating, engaging manner. I was gripped by the various anecdotes given throughout the book, and at times it felt like a series of interesting stories more than anything else. The points made around productivity were interesting, but buried; quite often I found myself wondering how this related to the overall theme of the book (if indeed there was one). Part of me wonders whether Charles just put together an anthology of what might otherwise have been a series of journal articles and attempted to unify them under a theme of 'productivity', but really to me this doesn't ring true. This is more a series of ways to live your life a little better, with accompanying case studies. It is a good, engaging and interesting book, but it seems a little muddled and confused at times.

Great stories used to illustrate the pertinent points. Tying the lessons to stories actually builds upon one of the lessons in the book: retention is increased by greater engagement. People engage more with stories. Great work.

An excellent review of different tools that can help any individual or group to adopt state of the art efficiency, productivity and performance. The use of gripping novel-like stories to explain the derivation of each theory makes this text an easy read. I completed this on kindle in 5 days.

This is one of those books that everyone should read, like Black Box Thinking and Don't Shoot the Dog. Easy and enjoyably addictive, I read this very fast and came away having taken quite a few notes.

What a fabulous, eye opening book. If you are in business and haven't read this book then you really need to.

good read

Simply put, this is another great book from Charles Duhigg. The way the subject in question is exposed and demonstrated, leaves one with the immediate reaction of wanting to apply some if not all of the methods explained as soon as possible!

Duhigg draws from many real life examples to inform the reader about what makes people smarter,faster,better and more productive. Reading this book is a good use of your time!

Smart / stretch goals,how teams work and leadership chapters were of interest to me.Highly recommend this book to anyone trying to better themselves at planning,team work and human dynamics

this is so very readable - it helps to clear outline what helps to increase productivity and it full of interesting stories to help back up the points.

Some very well thought out arguments and fascinating case studies. I will definitely be putting some of these ideas into practice.

By far the most readable and helpful book I've read for a long time. Based on solid evidence, but the narrative uses real world stories to illustrate the evidence.

Lots of hints and tips to make you fly!Excellent value.

Loving the book, highly recommend

Well researched. Great book to learn and implement.
