This guy was smarmy and self-fulfilling. I didn't think it told me anything revolutionary.

One time at a Teavana, the cashier barista blathered on while I waited for my tea. He was talking about how he ran a marathon he didn't train for. He said, "You'd think running a marathon would be hard but --it's *so* funny-- it's not." It was so annoying and smug. In my memory he even used the word hilarious. It was not hilarious.

This book is the same. If you want more productivity, do more. It's easy.
