Get traction in your life work

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2011

This book is the best book I've read this year, giving concrete ideas on how to get more, I do mean more, in your life. Whatever your passion, be it starting a business, or in his case businesses, hobbies, relationships.

One exercise Koch suggests is coming up with a list of your 10 best friends and rate them 1-10 (that in itself was fascinating) then put a percentage next to each friend. Are you spending the right amount of time with your closest, or more time with those less dear to you?

His many insights will lead you in new ways to think about your life, your business, your family and friends.

If you want to find new ways to think about your life, if you are in a rut and can't figure out what to do, if you are like me always busy and sometimes wondering am I doing the right things--this is a book for you.

Richard Koch has written on this subject before and this is the best book for the individual.

An empty-hearted effort

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2012

Managing personal efficiency is no doubt an important skill. And judging from the author's success from the first book, I assume he is a credible author. But this book is just way too shallow and lacks the evidence of any sinerity for the readers. If you are new to the concept of life efficiency management, it might be good to read his first book. If you are looking for a good framework or advice on how to achieve your goal, then you will for sure be disappointed. This whole book is just about stressing the importance of efficiency management. Absolutely anything else!

Interesting Follow Up to the 80/20 Principle

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2012

If you enjoyed the 80/20 Principle this is a good guide to applying it in your life. He does make some bold predictions like highly competent individuals will soon make public corporations obsolete. Some of this book is highly speculative and other parts are very practical. Luckily it is pretty easy to tell which is which. Very interesting book.

Once in awhile when I feel there are a lot of things pulling at me all at once, I will read this book to guide me/ give me ideas to sort out all the pulls. Highly recommended for those who find works in the connected world expect us to attend to all details and requests immediately but we know that are not the right deals for us.

I would like to know how if this is basically the same book as The 80/20 Individual: The Nine Essentials of 80/20 Success at Work..
Does it have different chapters and content or is it just rewritten new version?
Thanks

Do the Math: Your top 20% matters most!

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2008

This book, a follow-on of previous writings on the Pereto rule, applies is to individual performance. Like "Now, Discover Your Strengths" and "StrengthFinder 2.0", this book recommends each individual focusing on their strengths (the 20% of things that they do the yield results, as opposed to the 80% that don't). It acts as an accelerator of success. Like the quote at the beginning of Chapter 2, "Give me a single place to stand, and a lever, and I will move the Earth." (Archimedes). This book sparked off some interesting dialogue on my professional blog at [...] Enjoy the book and discovering what makes you remarkable!
