Quick Kick in the Pants

Paul, the author, made it fun and easy to listen to. This is a down to earth, no stuffy MBA type of Lean book.

This is an informational book, not a story so there really no character unless you want to say it's Paul Akers himself.

What does Paul A Akers bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He brought the excitement. He truly believes and lives what he writes/speaks. He follows every chapter with a video (go to his website).

There are so many different points but I guess I'll start in the bathroom. Read/listen to the book and you'll understand.

Any additional comments?

Paul is very generous by uploading numerous videos and documents on his website to help any who wants to go lean to start their journey. He even gives out his personal email if you want to ask him a question directly. Yes, this may also be viewed as an elaborate marketing campaign for his company, Fast Cap; however, he is living what he is preaching and what better way to show that he is doing so than to bring you into his world. I would recommend this book if you are looking for a quick kick in the pants way to approach lean. Great book.
