In his masterfully written book, Anthony Klotz illuminates the scientific forces that drive us to dramatically alter the course of our lives and offers insight into how we can intervene when these impulses lead us astray. Expertly researched and compellingly argued, Jolted is more than a guide to navigating challenging work scenarios; it’s a science-based blueprint for how to navigate life itself.
