Negative Positive
Title: Padded and poorly written
Review: I bought this book based on the strength of six five-star ratings. Alas, it was a disappointment. There are a few good nuggets of wisdom here, but maybe a magazine article's worth, certainly not a complete book. It's barely 200 pages long and this number was padded through the liberal use of wide white space breaks between paragraphs and a huge number of dot-point lists. It is also poorly written, full of redundant phrasing, non-sequiturs, and improper use of language. Note to the author (and to the author's editor, if there was one): the proper term is "risk averse" not "risk adverse." If you're looking for truly practical advice on improving your productivity, I'd recommend any of David Allen's books over this one.
