Who is Jon McNeill?

The word algorithm left computing some time ago and has been busy in boardrooms ever since, usually as shorthand for a repeatable process that produces results without waiting for inspiration. Jon McNeill puts it on the cover of a business title, and our catalogue shelves it accordingly.

The length is the most revealing detail. Four and a half hours is short for business non-fiction, and short usually means a book with one argument to make and no intention of padding it out to fill a hardback. That is a format decision as much as a writing one, and it tends to produce the books people actually finish.

Four and a half hours works out at roughly a week of commutes, or one long journey if you would rather take it in a single pass. Will Damron reads.

It is newly listed and ratings have not gathered in any meaningful number, so there is no consensus to consult. Judge it on the proposition instead: a compact, argument-led business listen for someone who wants a framework rather than a survey. Listeners who lose patience with the three-hundred-page business book should find the compression welcome. You will find the current listing directly below.
