Fried & Hansson, Fried & Hansson, Fried & Hansson,

As a summary, it was good. i might go ahead and listen to the full version now, or perhaps just buy a hardcopy so i can skim and jump around more easily... i like the narrator overall, but his constant EMPHASIS on "Crazy" is a bit annoying after the 10th, 20th or 30th time...i get it, work can be crazy.

Also, if i had a nickel for each time the summary used the phrase "According to Fried and Hansson" or "Fried and Hansson claim" or "In their book 'It Doesn't Have to Be ~CrAZy~ at Work'" i could go ahead and retire. i'd already be rich. i bet this 43-minute summary could have been under half an hour if they just said "the authors" or "in the book" instead. i know who the authors are. i know the title of the book. i don't need to be reminded every 3 minutes...

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
