Alive At Work

An interesting book of short stories about how managers activate what is known as “the seeking system” in their employees. The seeking system is basically a neuroscience term describing the state of pleasure and curiosity generated when we do certain work. I cannot stop relating this to some moments happening to me in the past when I was as if hypnotized by an unknown force and ended up spending several hours working (designing a website, making a logo or drafting a story) without any awareness of time.

Even though the book is managers-oriented, I think it is helpful reflecting on how our brain works and apply the knowledge to self-trigger our own “seeking system.”
