About this listen

In How to Have a Good Day, economist and former McKinsey partner Caroline Webb tells listeners how to use recent findings from behavioural economics, psychology and neuroscience to transform their approach to everyday working life.

Advances in these behavioral sciences are giving us ever better understanding of how our brains work, why we make the choices we do and what it takes for us to be smart and savvy. But it's not always been easy to see how to apply these insights in the workplace - until now.

In How to Have a Good Day, Webb explains how three big scientific ideas can help us be at our best every day. She shows us exactly how to apply this science to our plans, tasks and conversations in step-by-step guidance that allows us to: set better priorities; make the hours go further; turn every interaction into a success; strengthen our personal impact; be resilient in the face of setbacks; and sustain our energy over the course of the day. Webb teaches us how to be at our best under pressure and gives us specific tools to tackle common work challenges - from conflict with colleagues to dull meetings and packed inboxes.

Filled with stories of people who have used Webb's insights to boost their job satisfaction and performance at work, How to Have a Good Day is the audiobook so many people wanted when they finished Nudge, Blink and Thinking Fast and Slow and were looking for practical ways to apply this fascinating science to their own lives and careers.

A remarkable and much-needed book, How to Have a Good Day firmly delivers on its promise, showing us all how to have a lifetime of good days.

The thing that sets this apart from many such texts is the fact it is based on credible scientific research and experience not simply opinion.

A collection of useful research

I found the book well constructed and well narrated which made it easy to listen to. It covers a lot of topics and brings together ideas and tips that I have come across before in other 'soft skills' training courses and management books during my career, plus some ideas that were new to me.

It is long audio book at over 13 hours and though easy listening, I found myself quickly forgetting much of what I had heard as more and more topics, ideas and tips are provided and my memory just could not keep up.

The audio chapters do match the book chapters so it is difficult to refer back to useful sections. You need to be ready to frequently place audio bookmarks or after having listened to it go out and buy the hard copy book since it would make a good 'how to' book to keep on the shelf and keep dipping into.

Very long for an audio book but easy to listen to

Fantastic book. Great explanations. One small criticism would be that the delivery was a little stilted at times which got a bit distracting

Behavioural science made easy to apply
