The Impulse Factor: Why Some of Us Play It Safe and Others Risk It All

Touchstone

In his work as research and development director at cutting-edge think tank TalentSmart, Nick Tasler realized that the recent discovery by scientists of a potential-seeking gene could have a remarkable impact on how we understand decision making. Those who have this gene – about one quarter of the population – are endowed with impulsive tendencies that can lead to fast and decisive action or to foolish choices.  The cautious majority that Tasler calls risk managers can make carefully considered decisions or become hopelessly lost in the fog of details. Now The Impulse Factor offers listeners a unique online opportunity to analyze their own decision-making style and harness it to improve their everyday lives. With examples from business, psychology, and Tasler’s own research at TalentSmart, the book also vividly illustrates how susceptible we are to the events around us and how our reactions often run contrary to our best interests.   By combining his research with real-world examples of extreme decision making, Tasler teaches listeners how to thrive when faced with difficult choices. More than just an audiobook, The Impulse Factor provides a clear understanding of why you make the choices you do – and the tools to make those decisions change your business and your life.

When change happens, one in three people will find inspiration where others find imprisonment. What is their secret? 
Grounded in the latest social science and enlivened by Nick Tasler's signature blend of wit, wisdom, and storytelling, Ricochet takes you on a fast-paced quest to unravel the mystery of highly adaptive people. You'll meet researchers who have spent their lives cracking this case, as well as people--people just like you--who have explored their way through the unexpected changes of life that ultimately reveal what we are capable of as leaders, creators, parents, and friends. 
Adaptation is a skill that is hard-wired in our DNA. To ignite our resilient superpowers we must learn to use three simple laws of successful adaptation--Find Freedom; Pursue Progress; Make Meaning. When we do that, we don't just survive change. We welcome change. We stop living in fear of the next challenge we have yet to face. Instead, we start savoring the crazy, exciting, messed-up adventure of everyday life.
