In a Nutshell

Scott Sonenshein teaches us that success and satisfaction don't come from having more but from better using what we already have. He explains how we can personally and professionally thrive by acting resourcefully.

Favorite Quote

We routinely overestimate the importance of acquiring resources but even more significantly underestimate our ability to make more out of what we have. It’s difficult to be productive with what’s already in hand when we’re distracted by always looking in other people’s hands.

Scott Sonenshein

Introduction

In a world that constantly encourages us to want more, Scott Sonenshein, bestselling author and business school professor at Rice University, shows us instead how to be resourceful.

Success and satisfaction come from better using what we already have, harnessing the power of constraints, and learning to improvise.

Whether you're a professional, parent, executive, or entrepreneur, Sonenshein's book Stretch provides a roadmap to doing more with what we already have.

The ideas in Stretch are backed by extensive research studies illustrated by compelling real-life examples from business, education, sports, and the arts.
