- Synopsis
- According to successful authors and marketing business leaders Thaler and Koval, paying attention to the small things can improve your effectiveness in both personal and professional situations. Written in an appropriately succinct style, Thaler and Koval make a big deal of simple steps like paying better attention to what you're saying ("Bill Clinton. . . waits until he has come to the end of a sentence to shift his attention to another person") and picking up after yourself ("Professional organizer Molly Boren. . . says to put away three things in the morning and three things at night"). Some chapters are more professionally oriented, like a chapter on gaffes at work ("Little Mistakes Spell Disaster"), but widely-applicable, everyday advice gets much of the attention, as in the "Take Baby Steps" chapter: "Smaller, more attainable goals will also give you quicker, more frequent mini-rewards. " Though not necessarily for front-to-back reading, quick dips should yield enough practical inspiration for most seekers. Clean, simple writing, familiar to anyone who picked up the authors' bestselling The Power of Nice, ensures a fast-paced reading experience, and an admirable example of the subtle, considered approach it advocates.
