Very Good

Surprisingly helpful, this is not the first organization book i've read, so I did encounter some already familiar knowledge, but overall I learned some very good concept.

hard to listen to, can't wait for it to end, but can't skip any because keep getting great nuggets sprinkled throughout. It would be awesome to get all the value without the repeating.

Helped me with perspective.

l have been looking for a new way of looking at my old problems. This really has helped with this goal. Started using my smartphone to collect my thoughts and have already felt more relaxed. Still have a long way to go to build habits but this audio book is helping continue my journey.

Great simple principles

The principles are the things I've been usually doing and taking for granted and didn't give time to evaluate its effectiveness until listening this book. This book highlights the area where I can hone in and enhance the day to day management of life.

Great Insight and Strategies

The author gave great insight into a mind that is constantly thinking of loose ties. He gave great strategies to combat that problem. I would highly recommend this book for those who seems to be stuck in a mental rut.
