'Smarter Faster Better': Understanding productivity

In "The Power of Habit," Charles Duhigg unpacked how habits develop — and how they can be changed. Now, he returns with "Smart Faster Better," and more insights on productivity and human behavior.

Duhigg joined MPR News host Kerri Miller to discuss his new book, and how the way we work has shifted over the decades.

"Teams are everywhere now," Duhigg said. "If you were a professional 30 or 40 years ago, you'd probably spend about half your working life working by yourself. But in today's world, teams are incredibly central to how we get things done."
