I really enjoyed this book

Revisado: 06-10-16

I loved the previous book "Ready Player One" This book was also a stand alone, and was similarly enjoyable for this child of the 80's. Will Wheaton is the perfect voice for the audio productions. Hopefully they will make a B+ movie out of one or both.

Crude and disappointing

Revisado: 08-03-13

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I found the storyline crude and disappointing. I really love lean manufacturing and entrepreneurship but these hacks seem to regurgitate other books instead of coming up with new ideas. After listening to them for an hour and 45 minutes, and really wanting to like it, my basic reaction was to pull over and write this negative review

Good for all relationships

Revisado: 12-22-09

I feel the techniques and philosophy of this book are both Biblical and very useful. I listened to this over several weeks on my drive to and from work. During those weeks, I as the husband was reminded of my role. Also during this time my wife was reading a hard copy. There was a noticeable increase in love and respect during those weeks. Life was just as busy, but our attitudes toward each other were much better.

Three months later, the improvements are not as sharp, but are still defiantly there. I intend to re-listen &/or re-read soon because I know it works.

As a side note; this also helped me recognize and better understand disrespect in my workplace.

Value Added.

Revisado: 12-22-09

Toyota Way was very illuminating on differences between Toyota Management & Production systems vs. the management styles I've seen from 3 American companies (each +100 years old.) This book focused on the culture of Toyota, which appears to be integrated and consistent with the techniques of TPS. I feel this consistency of philosophy and technique is a gigantic advantage because I've experienced the impotence of technique without vision.

I have been involved with Lean projects for 2 years. This book filled in many gaps in the "why" Lean techniques are done, which I found highly value added.

This is not a techniques book, and that's good. TPS is equal parts sociological and technical. This is the first Lean book I've encountered that focused on the sociological.
