Productivity expert Bailey is his own test subject in experiments that range from working 90 hours a week to living in isolation for ten days to limiting smartphone use to an hour a day. As he first reported on his blog, A Year of Productivity (later renamed A Life of Productivity), Bailey shares each experiment's scientific and anecdotal results, interviews other productivity experts (e.g., Charles Duhigg and David Allen), and offers listeners numerous suggestions—many based upon common sense—to improve their own personal and professional productivity. As an inexperienced narrator reading his own work, Bailey speaks clearly, distinctly, and slowly, even a bit hesitantly, yet warmly enough that the effect is that of a mentor speaking to a mentee.
VERDICT Of interest to business students and faculty and others looking for books on efficiency and productivity.
