Why read it?

1 author picked Death by Meeting as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a really unique and different meeting book – it basically teaches about how to run meeting effectively by inserting them naturally into a fable. The fable is really quite engaging and something most of us can relate to. The learnings, although not extensive, align quite well with the science. Overall it is a fun and informative book.

From Steven's list on navigating out of meeting hell.
