In the classic book THE ELEMENTS OF STYLE by Strunk & White, arguably the best book about writing, one of the principles espoused was terseness. They kept the book at under 100 pages. Yet they managed to create the best book on writing style -- more useful, I found, that the 500 page CHICAGO MANUAL OF STYLE. Likewise, this book by Louis Birner, a psychoanalyst, employs terseness and simplicity to advise about depression and creativity. Over the years, as a successful businessman, I had several bouts of depression. I read every book on depression I could get my hands on. Yet this book, in my judgment, turns out to be the best -- and the easiest to read. It spells out useful principles tersely and simply. Very highly recommended.

This book is just what I needed! I am the king of procrastination and obviously this bad habit hinders my ability to be efficient and effective. I enjoyed reading this book because it offered some very useful insights and resolutions on how to overcome this bad habit as well as others. It was also great that so much useful information was packaged into such a small book (so I didn't have to procrastinate about finishing it!). I think this book would be very useful to anyone of all ages.

Clear, Concise and easy to read. It show many ways to use time well and to organized both thought and action. Quite good for students as well as adults.
