"Brims with a surprising amount of insight and practical advice." --The Wall Street Journal

Daniel H. Pink, the #1 bestselling author of Drive and To Sell Is Human, unlocks the scientific secrets to good timing to help you flourish at work, at school, and at home.

Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself. Our lives are a never-ending stream of "when" decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork.

Timing, it's often assumed, is an art. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Pink shows that timing is really a science.

Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology, biology, and economics, Pink reveals how best to live, work, and succeed. How can we use the hidden patterns of the day to build the ideal schedule? Why do certain breaks dramatically improve student test scores? How can we turn a stumbling beginning into a fresh start? Why should we avoid going to the hospital in the afternoon? Why is singing in time with other people as good for you as exercise? And what is the ideal time to quit a job, switch careers, or get married?

In When, Pink distills cutting-edge research and data on timing and synthesizes them into a fascinating, readable narrative packed with irresistible stories and practical takeaways that give readers compelling insights into how we can live richer, more engaged lives.

Good Listen

It was interesting-and insightful.

The most memorable moment: understanding the importance of beginnings & endings.

great presentation of science

honest and humble presentation of ideas based on science. useful ideas for everyone from school system to industry

VERY INTERESTING BOOK

Although there are better books on the topic (by Satchin Panda and Michael Breus), this book was short and to the point and a very good read, especially if you are a fan of the author.

Very good book to read

Highly recommend it. I will definitely use what I learned in this book and apply it to my life.

Easy to listen to and thought evoking

I find this book one of those especially good to listen to. The content offers many ideas on how to get the most out of time and got me eager to try out some of the things.

Glad I spent the time!

Interesting facts and interesting theories. Some time products offer us control. Others do not! Do not despair!

if your time is valuable...you have to ask When

Excellent first audiobook, the narration was wonderfully paced and easily understood. The tidbits of humor kept my attention and the evidence-based references are very valuable.

I have enjoyed the content of this book so much, I have ordered a copy and will likely listen to my audiobook again.

Incredible read!

This book is nothing short of blow-your-mind-revolutionary! He presents his vast research very accessible. The conciseness of his presentation made it very plain and straightforward to unpack, very easy to parse, and apply. His time hackers suggestions for applications at the end of each chapter was very helpful. This would be a great book to do with teams, and even entire departments. The question of when has been just like the water for fish. We now have to ask the question: when?

Insightful and Applicable

Pink provides a clear thesis, grounded in research. He then provides clear and actionable direction and how to use the power of timing to better manage projects, business, personal, etc.

Insightful

I love books that alter my paradigm. This book does a great job of explaining how time/timing can be critical to success.
