I think that I have a group that could have more compatible play styles and certainly we could all use more focus, but I don't like a book (or a forum) that suggests the solution to all my problems is to find a different set of gamers.
Indie games often take a different approach to mechanics and I think the onus is on the innovator to explain clearly how a system or mechanic works.
