Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets of Being Productive

Good stories
Interesting insights
Scientific approach
Very helpful for starting my own business give me the motivation I need.

Examples very long winded. Needs more what you personally can do. Was hoping for more.

Not sure what the point of this book was. Never really gives any actual ways of incorporating the ideas. The ideas presented are a bit high level and vague.

The content isn't bad, but the interpretation and the excessively long stories make it boring and hard to effectively pull out useful notions.

I have very mixed feelings about this book, but it comes down to two key thoughts:

The stories in that illustrate the books narrative are insightful and interesting, and for the most part unique to this book - Which makes a refreshing change from the usual retellings of the same studies over and over - So if you're looking for something new in that area, this book might suite you.

On the other hand, there isn't really much actionable content, and the book jumps all over the place and while it raises some interesting topics and highlights some real world examples it falls short of bringing the ideas together cleanly in one place.

So, when you're reading books like this if you're drawn to the narrative and storytelling side of the books, or want to explore a new style of writing, maybe give this a go.

I enjoyed this audiobook. Some of the examples are quite long winded when he illustrates his point but he makes all of the ideas interesting and accessible.

The points were well illustrated using great examples and it included lots of practical tips. Just as good if not better than Duhigg's the Power of Habit.

I will certainly be taking away some of the concepts from this book and putting them into practice. I am sure they will help me create a better structure in managing projects. excellent performance and excellent structure.

Hopefully now I have acquired all of the above.

The book offers some very interesting insights and stories to support the authors concepts. A stimulating read that had me actioning ideas after hopping out of the car along with some good ideas on process.

The end of the book is the part that tells you how to implement the lessons, but it feels like an after thought. The mechanics of implementation should be more in depth, more specific and at the end of each chapter, as well as summarised at the end.
