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.

I really enjoyed this audio book, the reader style was a little bland for my liking but since it was read by the author who am I to argue! She was just a bit reserved, I'd like a bit more variable intonation but then it didn't detract from the content. The content was great, a lot of sound advice brought to one place. It was just what I needed and I will be relistening regularly till I can memorize many of the habits. I admit I though it was so good that halfway through I also went and bought the paperback book so I could refer to it visually. As a middle manager with bulging inbox I really found it helpful, I've read many studies and books and this references some familiar material but it's approach is sensible, realistic and warm. This book is ideal for anyone who wants to get the best out of the working day but also wants to be a decent human being

Having a good day!

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

This book was a bit of a slog to get through unfortunately, some great ideas but the sheer volume meant that I'm struggling to remember which really resonated.

Too long unfortunately

It is very rare in this genre to find a book that offers sensible suggestions with a firm link to the evidence that supports the advice.
Very easy to listen to and relate to. There's ideas in here that will resonate with everyone.
Highly recommend.

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

Very much worth the listen. The book offers up hundreds of techniques and skills for work and day to day life, all supported by scientific studies and research.

What I really liked is that thw author offera multiple options, and the listener can chose those that fits, its not some snake oil approach where there's one size fits all.

Only slight drawback is that the narration can be a bit monotonous at times, making it a bit of a push to listen to in long intervals.

Will probably have a second listen later on as a refresher.

If i had to narrate my own book i would say no. I love Audible books but in my opinion the narrator is so important. Its a deal breaker so I am only reviewing on what i listened to. I threw in the towel on this one!

Good topic ...bad narrator

Confusing that sections are not Split by chapters but instead randomly split. Also why do sections miss descriptions in chapter overview. makes it hard to trace the sections you want to hear again. This should be fixed at the next edition

Good book, but...
