Hyperfocus By Chris Bailey and The Intelligence Trap By David Robson 2 Books Collection Set

Hyperfocus

In Hyperfocus, you will learn:- How working fewer hours can increase our productivity- How we get more done by making our work harder, not easier- How we do our best creative work when we're the most tired. Our attention has never been as overwhelmed as it is today and we've never been so busy while accomplishing so little.In Hyperfocus, Chris Bailey provides profound insights into how we can best manage our attention. He reveals how the brain switches between two mental modes – hyperfocus, our deep concentration mode, and scatterfocus, our creative, reflective mode – and how the surest path to being our most creative and efficient selves at work is to combine them both.

The Intelligence Trap

We assume that smarter people are less prone to error. But greater education and expertise can often amplify our mistakes while rendering us blind to our biases. This is the 'intelligence trap'.Drawing on the latest behavioural science and historical examples from Socrates to Benjamin Franklin, David Robson demonstrates how to apply our intelligence more wisely; identify bias and enhance our 'rationality quotient'; read and regulate our emotions; fine-tune our intuition; navigate ambiguity and uncertainty; and think more flexibly about seemingly intractable problems.
