Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Everyone is busy.Calendars are full. Inboxes never stop. Meetings multiply. Deadlines pile up. And somehow, very little ever feels finished.In Everyone Is Pretending to Be Busy, Julian Pike examines how urgency became a performance rather than a necessity. He shows how modern work rewards responsiveness over judgment, activity over decisions, and motion over outcomes.

It shows why the system works exactly as it does.…
