Commentary/review

A book explaining why constraints have a creative effect for Human effort, be it art, science or a business venture. With numerous examples and a terrific enthusiasm, Author plows through arguments for a well-balanced state of affairs. There is essentially nothing new there if one received classic education but the arguments are fresh and convincing.

I am not sure why Martin Luther King Jr. was featured in the book (he does not really fit when you think about it) but that may be some American quirk.

Inside the Box : How Constraints Make Us Better, orange audiobook cover

Nothing special about that cover. It is orange which is a “good for business” colour.
