Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader’s Guide to the Real World

I did not expect that a quick and breezy read such as this one would be one of the better management books I read in the past years.<br/><br/>Nine Lies About Work manages to pack original research and case studies that are both novel and unexpected into a story about work, meaning and life. Many books like this regurgitate the same tired cases (Buurtzorg anyone?) and the same Malcolm Gladwell/Freakonomics-sourced long-debunked science and turn that into a quick publication.<br/><br/>I would recommend this book fully for both managers and employees at companies. One word of caution though: the more 'lies' about work this book helps you identify at your current workplace, the more likely it becomes that you will start looking for a new job.
