Details Condition: Brand New Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781782119913 Publisher: Canongate Books Overview Timing shapes everything we do, yet most of us treat it as an afterthought rather than a science. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing , bestselling author Daniel H. Pink draws on psychology, biology and economics to reveal the hidden patterns that govern our days. Packed with surprising research and practical takeaways, this paperback shows readers exactly when to schedule meetings, take breaks, make decisions and even change careers for maximum success and wellbeing. About the Book We obsess over what to do and how to do it, but rarely stop to ask when. Daniel H. Pink argues that timing is not an art but a science, and in this fascinating book he distils decades of research across multiple disciplines into clear, actionable insight. He explores why certain breaks dramatically improve test results, why singing in time with others can be as beneficial as exercise, and what the ideal moment is to quit a job, switch careers or get married. Along the way, Pink examines the science of the "peak, trough and recovery" pattern that structures every day, explaining how understanding your own biological rhythms can transform productivity and mood. He also investigates the power of beginnings, midpoints and endings, showing how these moments can be used strategically to build motivation and momentum, whether in a personal project, a team, or an entire organisation. Rich with irresistible real-world stories, from hospital surgery schedules to Olympic swimmers, alongside rigorous data, When offers a genuinely new way of thinking about how we structure our lives. It is a book for anyone who has ever wondered why some afternoons feel impossible to focus through, or why the timing of a decision can matter as much as the decision itself. Practical, engaging and grounded in science, this is essential reading for anyone wanting to work smarter and live better. Reveals s
