Stretch

unlock the power of less-- and achieve more than you ever imagined
Book • 2017
In this book, Scott Sonenshein argues that the key to success and satisfaction is not in acquiring more resources, but in making the most out of what you already have.

He distinguishes between two approaches to resource management: 'chasing' (pursuing more resources) and 'stretching' (embracing and creatively using existing resources).

Using compelling stories and research in psychology and management, Sonenshein shows how individuals and organizations can achieve more with less by adopting a stretching mindset.

This approach involves psychological ownership, embracing constraints, frugality, and uncovering hidden value in resources.

The book provides practical strategies for changing one's mindset and behaviors to achieve better results in both personal and professional life.
