In "Stretch," Scott Sonenshein challenges the pervasive myth that success is a direct result of accumulating more—more resources, more manpower, more accolades. Drawing on his extensive research in psychology and management, Sonenshein, a distinguished professor at Rice University, presents a compelling narrative that turns conventional wisdom on its head. Through an array of captivating stories spanning various fields—from corporate giants to small startups, from athletes to artists—he reveals how individuals and organizations that leverage the art of "stretching" consistently outperform those caught in the endless cycle of "chasing." "Stretch" is more than just a book; it's a paradigm shift in how we view our personal and professional lives. Sonenshein expertly demonstrates that the secret to achieving lasting success and fulfillment doesn't lie in the pursuit of more but in maximizing what we already possess. By embracing constraints and making the most of limited resources, we unlock our innate capacity for creativity, innovation, and resilience. Whether you're leading a team, managing a household, or pursuing personal goals, "Stretch" offers a transformative approach to living a rich, resourceful life without necessarily having more.
