Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money - the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction - at work, at school, and at home - is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, one in nine Americans works in sales. Every day more than 15 million people earn their keep by persuading someone else to make a purchase. But dig deeper and a startling truth emerges: Yes, one in nine Americans works in sales. But so do the other eight. Whether we’re employees pitching colleagues on a new idea, entrepreneurs enticing funders to invest, or parents and teachers cajoling children to study, we spend our days trying to move others.

Publisher's Summary
The instant New York Times best seller
Number one Wall Street Journal Business best seller
Instant Washington Post best seller
"Brims with a surprising amount of insight and practical advice." (The Wall Street Journal)
Daniel H. Pink, the number one best-selling 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 narrative packed with irresistible stories and practical takeaways that give listeners compelling insights into how we can live richer, more engaged lives.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
What the critics say
"Pink is as comfortable behind the mic as he is with his subject matter as he reveals that it really is all about timing.... With a popular TED talk and a long list of public speaking engagements on his resume, Pink is more polished than many author narrators, and his high-energy style is infectious." (AudioFile Magazine)
“Known for his popular books on motivation and creativity, Pink tackles the science behind how we organize our time and how we should set up the routines of our days.” (Washington Post, 11 Leadership Books to Read in 2018)
“Pink delivers the bad news about our time-based weaknesses with some good news about how to compensate for them. More delightful still, many of these tips involve simply slowing down, taking breaks and stealing naps. Alas, none of this advice will prevent time from flying by, but at least there are proven ways to fill our hours a bit better.” (The Wall Street Journal)

Excellent listen
This book draws on key scientific concepts around timing in a way that is easy to listen to and understand. A great starting point for anyone who communicates scientific material academically or professionally and is trying to improve the way they share new studies and findings.

Months Later and I Still Think About This Book
This book was amazing. Insanely practical at both a micro (day to day activities) and macro (your whole life) level. I can honestly say that even months after reading it, I still regularly think about this book and act on what it taught me. Recognizing when I'm biologically wired to be more productive, combined with his caffeine/nap combination has been a total game changer. I can't recommend this book enough! #Audible1

The ignored system that drives our systems!
All to often we take time for granted. It is a deadline or a appointment. This book have given me some wonderful perspective that ties our body and mind to the significance of “timing”. This is one of my new favourites! Thank you Daniel Pink.

Good but not great.
I'm a huge fan of Daniel Pinks writing and books. So perhaps I came with high expectations. Dont get me wrong there's a ton of actionable advise. I guess my problem was that I didn't feel there was a succinct flow or narrative linking all of the advise. Instead it felt like sections were somewhat picked at random and the because of that the book and its actionable advise is extremely difficult to commit to memory.
To sell is human was a great book with a wonderful central thesis. This book is missing the same magic.

Great Book - very informative!
I felt I had to write a review because this book was awesome. I did not wantvit to end. Very interesting facts that the author backs up with research papers and scientific studies. This gives tips on when to do things in life for all types of people. If you are a boss or in charge of people read this to help make yourself better...I know I am forwarding it to my boss (who I think is a great leader) for insight and inspiration.

Valuable insight on this subject
I liked the approach of the author regarding all these facets of timing and it’s importance in our lives.
The information about knowing your levels of energy, how taking break can greatly enhance the rest of your day, specially the nappucino part was for me a great reminder.
But in spite of all these facts that really make sense, i have my reserve on life timing. Statistics are relevant but basing our life on the best timing doesn’t necessarily grant happiness.
But overall, this is a book I recommend !

Fun. Enlightening. Fast Paced.
This is an awesome book. So much going for it. The author, Dan Pink, is a great storyteller. He presents a lot of information but weaves it all into easy-to-follow stories. Some of the information - a lot of it, actually - is eye-opening and applies to everything one does. If you are like me, you’ll find yourself Googling this and that to help with applying these nuggets to your personal and professional life. You might even start thinking who you could buy copies for, only to find the list grow far too long to afford. Finally, Dan Pink is an excellent narrator. Nothing lacks or lags in the way he reads the book. It’s almost as if he’s talking personally to you. Yes, I loved it.

Interesting but not compelling
Interesting but not compelling. It's less about secrets of perfect timing than it is about how time influences our lives and decisions. There were a few new tidbits, but mostly a collection of concepts I'd learned before. It's no surprise that it works best to tackle difficult, analytical tasks in the morning or that teams ahead at half time usually win. At only 5 hours, it wasn't a waste of time, but it didn't change my life either.
Pink does a fine job of narration. I always enjoy the nuance that comes when an author reads their own writing.

Fun, accessible and actionable
Really enjoyable book. I've read quite widely on many of these subjects, but still fascinating to hear Pink's take on them and to have them all in one place. I'm a business strategy coach and ll be referring clients to this book for a long time. But there is much in here for everyone.
Included with the audio book is a helpful pdf that covers all the suggested items at the end of each chapter. Find it in your audible library. Often these addendums are less than stelar, but this is excellent. I'd been considering having to buy a physical copy of the book to remember everything (hard for me as a dyslexic to take notes from audio).
This is a quick, fun read that will affect many aspects of your life for the better

A bit disappointing
I hoped for a lot more insight on the psychology of perfect timing. A significant portion of the book was focused on circadian cycles, but the content didn't seem like it evolved much vs what we learned in high school psych class 25 years ago.
I stuck with it to the end because the narration was pleasant, but overall was a bit bored with it.

Great Advice in the Most Unexpected Places
What did you love best about When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing?
I picked up Daniel Pink's When because a friend recommended it. However, I wasn't sure it would be pertinent to my stage in life and business. I read to improve some aspect of my life for business and expected this might be a dud despite Pink's recommendation.
Boy, was I wrong.
Pink tells his tale and spews statistics like a poet. I was held in the grasp of his voice and listened to every word. Many times I had to stop or take mentally take notes so I didn't forget a great insight or idea before I got to my destination - always the challenge when listening to books while driving.
This is a good one.
What was one of the most memorable moments of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing?
I had some great insights about the timing of the start of things. The year I graduated from college in the midst of a recession had a measurable impact on my career trajectory that I shared with my cohorts.
What about Daniel H. Pink’s performance did you like?
He sounds very authentic and expresses his message quite naturally.
What insight do you think you’ll apply from When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing?
Moving more quickly on an idea with follow-up actions and not letting "that moment" to wither away.

Informative, Entertaining and Thought Provoking
“When” is an informative and entertaining book. It could be particularly useful for people who are looking for ways to make their daily routines work better for them. But even if not looking to make such changes, it is very useful to understand the people in your life or just what’s happening in the world. This book is incredibly well researched and presented with great color. Pink is a great story teller. I read a lot of self help material and this book is unique in how it gives very practical steps as to how the information can be incorporated to make positive change. For example, the guidance on naps is very specific, when to take them, how long, the use of caffeine with naps, etc. Very, very practical! Pink’s books tend to jump around a lot, moving from subject to subject, sub topic to sub topic, very quickly. Personally I like this as I find it more entertaining. Also, Pink can get away (whereas others cannot) because he is a great writer and his subject is so well researched. Other readers however may not like this style. Lastly, I have to comment on Pink’s great skill in weaving in stories / examples from so many different areas, from basketball scores to lunch delivery men in India. I find this really adds to the work and may resonate with fans of Malcolm Gladwell and the Freakonomics series. I highly recommend this book.

The case for WHEN
Daniel Pink makes a powerful argument for the importance of when, rather than the traditional focus on what. Important information to know if you are serious about making the most of each day and making resolutions and other beginnings successful.

Short and yet Diluted!
This book is the author’s answer to “How to” books. Following up on its title, it deals with “When to”.
Many points appear intuitively valid though at times the research quoted appears questionable. This applies for instance to the higher percentage of prisoners paroled in the morning than in the afternoon, which the author links with the assessors’ early day sharpness but may just as well be due to the easier cases being placed higher on the agenda.
Though the book is quite short, the author seems to run out of material and aggravatingly belabours certain points, such as the adjustment of school schedules to high school students’ biological clocks.
Overall, though it not devoid of interest, this work cannot be warmly recommended to anyone.
