This small, concise book is insightful and gets to the heart of time and time management. It is better than any of the popular, larger books or programs on the subject.

This is not your "run off the mill" time management book that tells you how to become more efficient by saving a few minutes a day or cutting out certain minor activities. This book is much more fundamental. Servan-Schreiber looks straight at our deficits when it comes to managing our time. Addressing the many culprits for our lack of time, his European perspective should be a great eye opener for anybody who is held hostage to the work ethic and education that places work life above everything else. He addresses issues like couple being too stressed for having sex anymore and how modern life is going against what defines us as human beings. The author makes you think about your priorities in life. This means the priorities of how you spend time. He also gives concrete advice on how to get some or your time back by re-setting priorities. This is a must-read for anybody facing time constraints in his or her life - basically for all of us.
