We often think the key to success and satisfaction is to get more: more money, time, and possessions. It turns out we're wrong. Sonenshein examines that people and organizations approach resources in two different ways: "chasing" and "stretching." When chasing, we exhaust ourselves in the pursuit of more. When stretching, we embrace the resources we already have, creating a powerful framework of resourcefulness that allows anybody to work and live better.
