A well-timed book; a necessary assessment of how the world has changed, particularly since 9/11, in ways that haven’t been explained to the general public. While a little apologetic of ruthless corporate efficiency and rough around the edges, his thesis is well worth springboarding from and debating. His writing style left a bit much to be desired, but appropriate for a general, mass audience.

The question left is this: innovation at break-neck speed is great in many ways, and desperately needed by many in some fields, but is it worth the price of enjoying our time on Earth? Between Getting Things Done and this book, you’d think if we weren’t models of productivity, we aren’t getting the most out of life.
