The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing
Daniel Pink
In 'When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing', Daniel H. Pink draws on extensive research from psychology, biology, and economics to show that timing is not an art but a science. The book explores how to use the hidden patterns of the day to build ideal schedules, why certain breaks improve student test scores, how to turn a poor start into a fresh beginning, and the optimal times for various life decisions such as quitting a job, switching careers, or getting married. Pink synthesizes this research into a readable narrative with practical takeaways and stories, offering readers compelling insights into how to live richer, more engaged lives.
