Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Being Busy Is Not Always Productive
Deepak Gupta · 2021
🎙 Narrated by Deepak Gupta (per the audiobook listing found; self-narration for this title was not independently cross-confirmed by a second source)
42/100
👎 Skip It
Deepak Gupta's core point — that time spent and real productivity aren't the same thing — is fair, but at under 30 minutes there's not much room to develop it, and I couldn't find a single independent review to back it up. The narration is credited to Gupta himself, though that's not independently confirmed. A fine reminder, not a must-listen.
