Slack: Getting Past Burnout, Busywork, and the Myth of Total Efficiency by Tom DeMarco

4.0

Good, quick read. Highly recommended work for anyone working as a knowledge worker.

Gives advice in how knowledge work is not manufacturing, importance if middle management, and how to handle risks.

Gives both examples of both good and bad practices.

Book title gives away the focus of the book. Many arguments given for why slack is necessary and cost effective.
