Do More Better is a brisk, pragmatic handbook from Tim Challies that packages productivity advice into short, practical rules rooted in his life as a church leader and writer.

But the book’s arguments rely on retrospective selection of companies, and some of its darlings later faltered. You’ll find a methodical, almost monastic tone that rewards patience but may irritate if you want contemporary, tech-savvy lessons.”
