"Management" is a public health crisis like cancer, diabetes or heart disease. Nothing else and nothing more.

Anecdotal: In the Interview I found this in, Pfeffer cites a colleague who asked managers what books they read about their job: None. They were not reading at all.

Hey hedberg10. Unrelated to this topic but I couldn't find your contact info and don't know if HN even allows private messaging.

I just want to say thank you for this comment you made 21 days ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28669421. I'm reading Learned Optimism at the moment, and following your list to have a better state for myself. And I think it's working. My life was on a downward slope somewhat and your comment (well, TeMPoRaL's too) turned it around. Thank you.
