18 minutes : find your focus, master distraction, and get the right things done
Based upon his weekly Harvard Business Review column (which is the most popular column on HBR.com, receiving hundreds of thousands of unique page views a month), 18 Minutes clearly shows how busy people can cut through all the daily clutter and distractions and find a way to focus on those key items which are truly the top priorities in our lives. Bregman works from the premise that the best way to combat constant and distracting interruptions is to create productive distractions of one's own. Based upon a series of short bite-sized chapters, his approach allows us to safely navigate through the constant chatter of emails, text messages, phone calls, and endless meetings that prevent us from focusing our time on those things that are truly important to us. Mixing first-person insights along with unique case studies, Bregman sprinkles his charming book with pathways which help guide us -- pathways that can get us on the right trail in 18 minutes or less.--Publisher.

Leading with emotional courage : how to have hard conversations, create accountability, and inspire action on your most important work
\"Each short chapter offers a simple, practical step for building your Emotional Courage muscle, flexing it, watching it grow stronger. By the end of the book, readers will be better able to speak up when others are silent; remain steadfast, grounded, and measured in the face of uncertainty; respond productively to political opposition -- maybe even bad-faith backstabbing -- without getting sidetracked, distracted, or losing focus; and stay in the discomfort of a colleague's anger without shutting off or becoming defensive\"-- Provided by publisher.

Four seconds : all the time you need to stop counter-productive habits and get the results you want
\"How can we be most effective and productive in a world that moves too fast and demands so much of us? In [this book], Peter Bregman shows that the answer is to pause for as few as four seconds--the length of a deep breath--to replace bad habits and reactions with more productive behaviors ... Bregman reveals some of our most common counter-productive tendencies and describes counter-intuitive strategies for acting more intentionally, including: why setting goals can actually harm your performance, how to use strategic disengagement to recover focus and willpower, why listening--not arguing--is the best strategy for changing someone's mind, how taking responsibility for someone else's failure can actually help you succeed\"-- Provided by publisher.
