But too often our best efforts to attain them are built on destructive habits that sabotage us. In Four Seconds, Peter Bregman shows us how to replace negative patterns with energy boosting and productive behaviors. To thrive in our fast-paced world all it takes is to pause for as few as four seconds—the length of a deep breath—allowing us to make intentional and tactical choices that lead to better outcomes. Four Seconds reveals: Why listening—not arguing—is the best strategy for changing someone’s mind Why setting goals can actually harm performance How to use strategic disengagement to recover focus and willpower How taking responsibility for someone else’s failure can actually help your team Practical and insightful, Four Seconds provides simple solutions to create the results you want without the stress.   We were joined today by author of the new book Four Seconds, Peter Bregman.  Peter Bregman is the CEO of Bregman Partners, Inc., a firm which advises, coaches, and develops leaders at all levels to take powerful and ambitious actions to achieve the things that are most important to them and their organizations.     For more on Peter Bregman: Four Seconds   Personal Finance Cheat Sheet Article: http://www.cheatsheet.com/personal-finance/how-schools-can-improve-their-personal-finance-education.html/ You can listen live by going to www.kpft.org and clicking on the HD3 tab.
