I am really not sure about what to make of this book. I gave it high expectations because it came recommended. However, I feel it is mostly pop-writing for a blog than a book with any kind of insights. I think the index already says most, and the chapters are noise to fill up pages:

  • Find Leverage Points
    • Go and see the work
    • Consider the goal of the goal
    • Study the bright spots
    • Target the constraint
    • Map the system
  • Restack Resources
    • Start with a burst
    • Recycle Waste
    • Do Less and more
    • Tap motivation
    • Let people drive
    • Accelerate learning

It is even edited as if someone would directly print a website (with "links" on the pages!)

The examples he chose are very self-serving, and very superficial. Sure, some people did something, let's write a book about it.

I think there are better ways of spending time than reading this book, and definitely there are better management resources out there.
