THE AGE OF SPEED

What's the moral of Aesop's fable of the Tortoise and the Hare? If you think "slow and steady wins the race," be prepared to think again. Listeners are asked to consider a different perspective: Could the hare have lost track of his objective? If he'd stayed focused, speed would have seen him to victory. Sean Mangan takes the voice of the author, a peak performance strategist, and former Olympian, whose treatise on living and thriving in the “faster-more” world will make even the most resistant listeners listen up. Mangan conveys the energy, humor, and engagement that are part of Poscente's point of view. Presented in clever parables, the powerful message and useful insight come across clearly. Mangan handles the pace of the book well and never lets speed be the format as well as the topic. Simple strategies and ideas for business and personal lives make this audiobook dynamic and thought provoking. R.F.W.
