Drawing on extensive work with an extra-ordinary range of organizations, among them Google, Ford, Sony, Ernst & Young, Shell, IBM, the Los Angeles Police Department, and the Cleveland Clinic, Schwartz creates a road map for a new way of working that focuses on four core needs that energize great performance: sustainability, security, self-expression, and significance.

PART I. A NEW WAY OF WORKING: More and more, less and less -- We can't change what we don't notice -- We're creatures of habit -- PART II. SUSTAINABILITY / PHYSICAL: Feeling the pulse -- Sleep or die -- Making waves -- Use it or lose it -- Less is more -- Creating a culture that pulses -- PART III. SECURITY / EMOTIONAL: The war between the states -- If you ain't got pride, you ain't got nothin' -- The facts and the stories we tell -- A new value proposition -- PART IV. SELF-EXPRESSION / MENTAL: A poverty of attention -- One thing at a time -- Cultivating the whole brain -- Autonomy for accountability -- PART V. SIGNIFICANCE / SPIRITUAL: Who are you, and what do you really want? -- We're all in this together -- Purpose for passion -- The big ideas.
