N2  - In a world of constant busyness and striving, Not Doing: The Art of Effortless Action is an antidote to a narrow view about how we get things done. Rather than push, control or work harder, this book proposes that we go with, rather than against the flow, working in harmony with the natural energy around us. By effortlessly adapting to the environment, like the river that wends its way from spring to ocean, we can discover a new way of living, working and succeeding, so that our actions can sustain us, our organizations and our environment for generations to come
