The authors come from both sides of the political divide, but this book is not a meeting in the middle. It is a showdown with an old-fashioned concept of work, and a blueprint for what we can do about it – as employees, as managers and as a society. It is time to think and act differently. Otherwise, we may find ourselves committing the greatest act of self-sabotage in history. First, we must confront one of the greatest taboos of our era: Pseudowork.
