Book tip: Efficiently lazy

Do less, achieve more – this book provides the mental clarity and structure to do so

“Effizient faul” by Uwe Seebacher is aimed at anyone who is under constant pressure – whether in the hospitality industry, in everyday agency life, or in management. Instead of classic self-optimization, Seebacher focuses on strategies that enable real efficiency.

The content is based on over 30 years of research and consulting practice – including for international companies and institutions. Particularly relevant are the concrete tools for decision optimization and energy distribution.
