4.0 out of 5 stars Useful, May 9, 2002

By	Ms Diva "cycworker" (Nanaimo, B.C. Canada) - See all my reviews

This book describes more than just how to manage time -- as the title suggests, it's a holistic approach to attaining balance in one's entire life. The ideas in it are practical without being overly simplistic. The authors have a clear writing style, so that it's easy to follow what they are saying. The book starts with two short quizzes to help the reader determine what areas of their life might require more balance. The authors use examples liberally to illustrate their points. These examples are clear and relevant.

My one complaint about the book was that the authors did, at times, seem to try to push readers into purchasing materials from them to implement the Lifebalance system. The only resources they mention at the end of the book are their own materials -- I would've liked a full bibliography/suggested readings section. It is only this complaint that is keeping me from giving the book 5 stars. Despite this caveat, I still think this book is worthwhile. It would be a help to anyone who is trying to live a more rewarding life that allows them to achieve succes at work without sacrificing family time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very important, very applicable!, December 14, 1998

By A Customer

This book is different than most "self help" books. It is realistic and applicable. It has helped me put my life in order and understand what is most important to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another good book on balancing your life is..., June 27, 2000

By	Neil Hinrichsen (Knysna South Africa) - See all my reviews

I haven't read this book yet (their other books are excellent), but if you're looking for books on balancing your life, I cannot recommend Alan Loy McGinnis' book "The Balanced Life : Achieving Success in Work & Love" too highly.
