This was very interesting！ The title makes it sound like a boring self help type book， but it’s full of fascinating case studies。 Full review coming for Shelf Awareness。

I love finding a non-fiction book that I can lose myself in。 One that is effortless to read but still jammed full with new things to learn。 This is one of those non-fiction books that I really didn’t know for sure I would be interested in but end up loving it。 I loved the structure of this book。 Instead of using the format of long descriptions of the theory behind his points or passages explaining it with short examples， he uses long detailed descriptions of SEVEN completely different businesses I love finding a non-fiction book that I can lose myself in。 One that is effortless to read but still jammed full with new things to learn。 This is one of those non-fiction books that I really didn’t know for sure I would be interested in but end up loving it。 I loved the structure of this book。 Instead of using the format of long descriptions of the theory behind his points or passages explaining it with short examples， he uses long detailed descriptions of SEVEN completely different businesses or situations and along the way makes points about deadlines。 Each of these seven chapters gives an in-depth look at something fairly common but that I had never thought about how they do it – farms that get Easter lilies to market at the right time every year （and how incredibly intensive and long that process is）， getting a ski resort ready for a Thanksgiving opening without the benefit of enough naturally occurring snow fall and how Best Buy gets ready and operates a store on Black Friday。 The author references several other authors whose work I have enjoyed in the past （Dan Ariely and Charles Duhig and Dan Kahneman） and ties the concept of deadlines together from a behavioral science perspective。 I appreciate the early copy from Net Galley and Avid Reader Press and look forward to writing reviews。 。。。more
