Bit of an oddity this book. By rights it should be the kind of book I love - but it has taken me months of dipping into it to complete it. I suspect it's because I don't really like breathlessly written manifesto books anymore.On the plus side, this did change my mind about the impact of pirates on the world. It seems they really were game changers and very socially progressive for the times including rights for women, equal voting rights, a limited form of welfare state for injured pirates etc.
There are some good points made about how modern technology can and should result in better working practices.
Where it falls down is giving you yet another template to workshop your life - although it did give me plenty of food for thought on how to further adapt my working life to maximise productivity and happiness.
Verdict: Wanted to love this, but somehow it was a struggle.
