So in this review I’ll summarize the Appendix first and move onto the rest of the book second. You don’t give secrets of being productive until the Appendix! That’s not to say it’s a bad book-I very much enjoyed reading it and picked up some tips-just that you should know what to expect if you pick it up. It reads almost as two separate books, and the sixteen pages just doesn’t do the topic justice. I actually wish the author had started with what’s in the Appendix and expanded on it through the book. Even when the topic itself could be helpful to an individual the examples were all around work teams.

Thanks for supporting the site!Īlthough I found both sections interesting I had been hoping the author would be focusing on what we can do as individuals, not as teams, and was slightly disappointed that there was almost nothing on that topic until the Appendix. If you buy the book, I’ll receive a small commission at no cost to you. Note – The link to the book is an affiliate link. Only the appendix, sixteen pages long, gives tips you personally can use in your life.The entire book focuses on building the productivity of teams, and helping teams work smarter.But the book is really divided into two sections: Plus the title reads as if it’s going to share with you the secrets to productivity that you can take away into your work and personal life to work smarter, better, and faster. After all, the author opens the book with a story about someone he wants to meet who seems to accomplish an extraordinary amount in the same 24 hours as everyone else. When I started reading this book, I thought it would be about how to accomplish more as an individual. Today I’m reviewing the book Smarter Better Faster – The Transformative Power of Real Productivity by Charles Duhigg.
