Alive at Work: The Neuroscience of Helping Your People Love What They Do

Social psychologist Dan Cable explores the link between what he calls our "seeking system" (the parts of the brain that encourage and thrive on new experiences and experimentation) and how productive and happy we are with our jobs.

• A fascinating look at the inner workings of the brain and how it affects our work life • Its clear explanation of why some workers are dissatisfied and disengaged goes well beyond the typical self-help speak about self-motivation and passion • Author-led research that was conducted in companies throughout the world

Audience: Readers of Dan Ariely, Adam Grant, and Jonah Berger, as well as a core audience of practitioners and managers who deeply feel that work prevents happiness.
