Now, this eye-opening and accessible guide shows how you can easily create your own personal system for knowledge management, otherwise known as a Second Brain.

There are 168 hours in a week. This book is about where the time really goes, and how we can all use it better. It's an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. With the rise of two-income families, extreme jobs, and 24/7 connectivity, life is so frenzied we can barely find time to breathe. We tell ourselves we'd like to read more, get to the gym regularly, try new hobbies, and accomplish all kinds of goals.

The only downside is that the content of this book may be best viewed in printed medium, but the performance is as good as it gets. When the author himself perform, you can feel the difference.

Useful info, worth the listen if you have time
Good info, but found it quite repetetive at times. Learnt few new skills, & have applied the concepts, which really do seem to work for me. But the book could probably have been condensed some, & been more straight to the point.
Author narration is ok, but not very engaging.

It is a little monotone, but the content is not
His reading style is a little monotonous, but if you can get past that to really dwell on and practice what he is describing in this book, you will benefit greatly from it.
He shares plenty of great examples for how to apply his getting things done method...yes,he repeats himself, as other reviews say, but seriously, trying to remember everything he said before applying it is a little impossible; having the reminder of the concept as he's giving the practical steps is incredibly helpful.

Subtly brilliant. Life changing! It's very interesting how he speaks in broad principles for hours on end, and as a listener, you fill in the specifics of your own planning challenges, and the end result is you come up with all sorts of solutions to your problems. Highly recommended!!
