Book Review – Smarter Faster Better

Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business
by Charles Duhigg, 2016

Wide-ranging book on productivity that covers examples from many disparate fields. Some of the main ideas include creating the environment for good teamwork (everyone valued and talking), being flexible and AGILE, pushing decision to those closest to the matter at hand, and preparing good mental models. The examples are interesting, but make it hard to keep track of the list of takeaways. I would love a checklist of the main topics covered, especially because I listened to the book on tape and wasn’t taking notes while listening.
