The second half is easily 4x as good as the first half. I felt it didn't really deliver on techniques for applying design principles. It stated how design works, then I felt it got a bit squidgy, then it provided many pre-designed templates. I'd love to see the first half reworked. Still, the idea is good, and the second half was valuable.

Been reading this on and off for the last half year so finally put the time into finishing it today.
It's fine but really it made me want to never work in a company that has so many meetings. I've been lucky in my work history but omg if anyone out here is doing half of the meetings in here I fear they are wasting their time. The 2nd half of the book is mostly template for different types of meetings and there are just so many. And really I don't feel like templates are all that helpful, people will rarely follow them, meetings are more about finding what works for you team.

The big idea here is that you should design meetings in the same way you might design software, or a website, or a building, or anything else. Start by thinking about what the people who will be in these meetings need or want and work from there to, well, design your meeting.
