"A guide to productivity and personal agency"-- Provided by publisher
"[The author] Hall argues that the so-called "rules" of success aren't rules at all--they're productivity guidelines for low-agency people. She shows you how to live with agency and take control of your future by increasing your surface area for luck, taking every shortcut available, building "forcing functions" that ensure commitment, and using your deepest insecurities as fuel for growth"--Flap page 1 of dust jacket
