When: the scientific secrets of perfect timing by Daniel H. Pink What it is: an accessible and thought-provoking look at how time (and our perception of it) impacts us in unexpected psychological, biological, and economic ways.
Topics include: how the time of day might affect the decisions we make; the wide-ranging ripple effects of afternoon energy drops; how to best harness the power of your own circadian rhythm.
Want a taste? "If you want to measure the world’s emotional state, to find a mood ring large enough to encircle the globe, you could do worse than Twitter." | | Fair play: a game-changing solution for when you have too much to do by Eve Rodsky What it's about: the unequal expectations faced by many working women and how they spend their "free" time, with a focus on common disparities in household labor and ways to shrink the gap.
Why you should read it: with the rapid increase of people working from home, these issues could not be more important or timely.
Reviewers say: Fair Play is "potentially revolutionary" and gives readers "the right combination of venting and commiserating balanced by practical solutions" (Booklist). | |
