About this audiobook

There is a moment that almost every senior professional recognizes, even if they have never put words to it. You are sitting at your desk, or perhaps in a glass-walled conference room somewhere on the fourteenth floor, and you realize that you have not had a single uninterrupted thought in the past four hours. Your inbox has accumulated forty-seven messages since nine in the morning. Your phone has buzzed with notifications from three different platforms.
