The Art of Woo

In
a time starved era, you need to stop listening to everyone who
tells you to slow down, and begin paying attention to authors
like Poscente who give you the necessary tools to get ahead of
the rush once and for all. The author illustrates why
harnessing the power of speed is the ultimate solution for
those seeking less stress, less busyness and more balance,
while providing the reader with case studies gleaned from
successful companies such as Geico, Netflix and
Nintendo. |
