Publisher's Summary

David Allen reads an all-new edition of his popular self-help classic for managing work-life balance in the 21st century - now updated for the new challenges facing individuals and organizations in today's rapidly changing world.

Since it was first published more than 15 years ago, David Allen's Getting Things Done has become one of the most influential business books of its era and the ultimate book on personal organization. "GTD" is now shorthand for an entire way of approaching professional and personal tasks and has spawned an entire culture of websites, organizational tools, seminars, and offshoots.

Allen has rewritten the book from start to finish, tweaking his classic text with important perspectives on the new workplace and adding material that will make the book fresh and relevant for years to come. This new edition of Getting Things Done will be welcomed not only by its hundreds of thousands of existing fans but also by a whole new generation eager to adopt its proven principles.

The Master Shares his Secrets

Solid as a rock. To say least, it is interesting conceptually, but more important, it is structurally useful... and it all makes sense. Why don't they teach this in school? David Allen is genius. Cal

This is a life changing book.

Easy to zone out to. But by the time it's done you have already started noticing the organizational improvements. Very very good!

Life changing

The technique and suggestion mentioned in this book is simply life changing! 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. Highly recommend for everyone with a busy life!

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.

Grows on you

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!!
