I purchased this book for my department at work. I also purchased the CD and found the CD even more enjoyable than reading the book.

My team was under a lot of pressure to perform and as is often the case in adverse conditions, some were beginning to blame others and lose focus on the tasks at hand given the large amount of work yet to be done.

The response I recieved from the workforce was varied but all positive. Living in the present, learning from our past, preparing for the future, and living with purpose has become a sound bite in our department. The book is a quick read and the CD tough to not listen to all at once. Make sure you have sufficient time to listen to it in one sitting.

If you have customers or coworkers that do important work and you have lost touch with what needs to be done, this book will help you step back from your task saturation and reflect on where you are at, where you need to go and why it is important for you to do so.

This is a book I will share for many years to come.

This is a must read for anyone who is finding life a little bit over whelming & wants to take control of their life again. A simple read that works on simple principles that just about everyone should be able to relate to and understand.

Read this book before you embark on anything else that's a bit heavier on the psychology side... you may save yourself a lot of time, energy & effort.

It is an avg book (on CD) nothing special, not inspiring... Buy FISH- it will inspire you:)

This story is great!! However, whoever I ordered it from did not show that it was a CD and not a book ;(

If you want a book to help you in life! Get this book! It tells you how to deal with the past, present and future.

As a part-time reading teacher, I use this book with slower readers and underachievers. The book's simple, clear process of handling time gave the students a sense of how to be responsible for what they do NOW, learning that their futures are dependent on proper actions taken right now.

The chapters are short, and as a result very digestible for your teens. This book allowed me to move into basic study skills with the lessons inherent in the text as a basis for their new learning schema.

The principles are universal and maybe applied to anyone at any age.

We were all able to improve our use of time!
