Add a CommentFascinating book. Whether one can change the way we think as a result of reading this book is another matter.
This highly readable book confirms a lot of ideas but also blows some completely out of the water. While I always knew I could never multitask - I always thought it was a failing of mine - I never knew that it could take 15 minutes to settle down after an interruption. And interruptions are such a large part of our lives! It is also interesting to know that multitasking and driving are always a bad idea. But the best part was hearing that Warren Buffett can make mistakes as well.
