If this is a real book than I was tricked into buying the fake A.I written version by the same name. The version I read did not sound like it was written by a human and the book kept referring to us not wanting to waste our human potential. HUMAN POTENTIAL?! Actual humans say "potential" not "human potential". Anyway, it wasnt worth $15 and even Amazon knew it because they refunded me my money and asked me to keep the book.

Kitabı sevdim mi sevmedim mi ben de anlamadım. Yani productive lazy olun diyorsun da herkes bunj nasıl yapcak reis bunlar nasıl yapılacak bişey de pek dememişsin gibi 30 sayfanın 10sayfası zaten kitabı niye okumalıyız ya da okumamalıyız bilmiyorum yetersiz bence. Kitap tanıtım broşürü gibiydi.

Great quick read.

Productively lazy, that adds new meaning to a management principle. Short and precise just fit for the busy people who wants to be lazy winners someday

[Sparky]

Unfortunately, there was very little takeaway from this. It seemed like the whole purpose was to promote another book to read for more detailed information. Disappointing.

Which might be interesting and full of good tips. I guess I'm just too lazy to read them as he managed to convey a good abstract on this one.

[Robert Kells]

I've heard a lot I'll be very glad to read me some of this book.

A nice move to promote other books through a book, learned a bit from Pareto principals.

a vey short one. Feel like th author just throws in a bunch of things to say that make sense in a way. Veey playful of words just to get across one meaning. Disappointing tha its short

[Lindah Atsulu]

The art of laziness is a comic, mind-opening book

[Karen Siddall]

A good start with an entertaining "voice" but a little disjointed probably due to the brevity. Go for his full-sized books.

[V Narayanan]

I learned Pareto Concept of Efficiency- 20% effort produced 80% results

This requires us to focus & apply effort on an intelligent & consistent basis.

Apart from this no other takes

[Minh Khoa]

It's just a normal book, nothing is special.

[Dayve Rampas]

It's a great self-help book which is a must to read!
