This is not the kind of book you skim through quickly. I found myself slowing down often just to process what was being said. The author challenges deeply rooted assumptions about growth and efficiency. What stood out to me is how waste is reframed as a design failure rather than an inevitable outcome. That idea alone shifted my perspective. The tone of the book is thoughtful and measured, which I appreciated. It doesn’t try to overwhelm you with jargon. Instead, it guides you through a different way of thinking. By the end, I felt like I had gained a new lens, not just new information.
