Best damn book ever

Brilliant book, fantastic narration! Seriously mind blowing, get this book NOW! YOU ABSOLUTELY will not regret it!

Glorious!

As I continue my journey as a continuous improvement manager, I will use 2 Second Lean as a guide to building a culture of Lean!

Outstanding

This is an outstanding read. Paul, as usual, is energetic and inspiring in his real life tell of what it takes to build a lean culture.

Read it. Listen to it. Implement. REPEAT.

Giving the book 5-stars was the easy part. Implementing the ideas and developing a culture such as the one at Fastcap requires a little more work on the reader's part.

Paul Akers is a fascinating, inspiring "regular guy". Take what you will from this, but miss out on the lessons at your peril.

The delivery is excellent too, with Mr. Akers' passion coming through in spades throughout.

I can't recommend this book highly enough.

Quick listen, packed with value

I don’t work in manufacturing and questioned whether the book would be of value, and I’m half to say I was dead wrong. This book was the answer to several questions I didn’t realize I had. I am now looking forward to continuing the journey by studying books focused on lab processes for service organizations.

Amazing story

This is the book or speech I have heard about Lean that make the approach so easy to understand with practical supporting stories. Highly encouraged now to make a difference in life and others that I interact with.

good stuff.

Good stuff. easy to finish and easy to implement. very ground level stuff that you can apply in a small team that is part of a larger group.

Fantastic

Fantastic! Love the lessons on seeing and identifying waste! The fix is as easy as a 2 second lean!!

Life Changing

Simple and profound. THE culture and change tool for any business. A must read for any business owner that makes something. So much value. Thank you Paul.

Simple, Fun, and Actionable Lean

Paul Akers delivers a refreshingly clear and accessible take on Lean. Rather than jargon or heavy theory, he focuses on simple, daily improvements that anyone can apply at work or home. The personal stories, practical checklists, and emphasis on culture over process make the lessons stick. At times repetitive, but that repetition reinforces the core message: fix what bugs you, grow people, and keep it simple.
