| Summary |
Fried and Hansson reject the prevailing notion that long hours, aggressive hustle, and whatever it takes are required to run a successful business today. They believe the answer to better productivity isn't more hours-- it's less waste and fewer things that induce distraction and persistent stress. No matter the size of your company, Fried and Hansson show you what needs to be done-- and how you can do it, too. Long hours, an excessive workload, and a lack of sleep have become a badge of honor for modern professionals. But it should be a mark of stupidity, the authors argue. Sadly, this isn’t just a problem for large organizations, individuals, contractors, and solopreneurs are burning themselves out the same way. The answer to better productivity isn’t more hours, it’s less waste and fewer things that induce distraction and persistent stress. |
