About this title

Synopsis

We are bombarded with information from an ever-increasing number of sources, from books and magazines to e-mail and the Internet. Firm in the belief that the more knowledge we possess, the more powerful we become, we are working ourselves into a frenzy of learning. However, in the face of "information overload" our performance is undermined, making it hard to think clearly or act sensibly. This practical book offers strategies necessary not merely to stay afloat but to swim confidently with the surging tide. It explains how to prioritize information, how to shut yourself off from what is irrelevant and how to determine the core message in any piece of information quickly. This book is essential reading for any modern office worker.
