Insightful!
If you still think you have to hammer yourself to get ahead, stop doing two things at once and listen to Robert J. Kriegel, author of How to Succeed in Business Without Working So Damn Hard. Kriegel, an expert in human performance and the psychology of change, says most people work too strenuously at a frantic pace that generates stress and reduces performance. You can perform better if you work smarter, even at 80 or 90 percent of your current buzz. If you've read human potential success books, some of this will sound familiar, but Kriegel focuses on becoming successful while having an actual personal life. He quotes managers and employees, and outlines exactly what you should do. You're on your own figuring out what a 90 percent effort amounts to, but if you're a mid-level manager or executive who likes Kriegel's idea of winning-by-easing-up, we from getAbstract recommend that you somehow find the time to read his book.

Great Title, But...
I'll admit it, the title got me. I probably read two business books a year, and this one didn't offer anything new. Most of it was new twists on the same old rules. It was not inspiring, motivating, or compelling. Similar Products
