The core ideas are insightful (accounting for cognitive burden associated with insufficient resources, while also leveraging those same bandwidth constraints to influence behaviors for individuals and organizations), but largely repetitive and occasionally lacking in sufficient academic justification. A good complement to Thaler and Sunstein's "Nudge."

A clearly written and oddly funny examination of the effects of scarcity on human behavior. They are mindful that a scarcity of money is far more crucial and devastating than the scarcity of time suffered by busy but well-off professionals, but they make a good case that there really are some parallel causes and effects in either case.

Instead of doing something meaningful to stem the horrific side effects of global capitalism and colonialism (which are greatly detailed in this book), let's just find some life hacks to mitigate the worst effects of poverty.

A book I would read again.
