This book reads like the written equivalent of a snake oil salesman. While ultimately many of his ideas have merit, there is nothing particularly innovative about them and, as if sensing this, the author tries too hard to sell them. I would have set aside after the first chapter if I'd had anything remotely interesting else to do.

A quick read with some good ideas but a lot of fluff along the way

A quick read for me as I didn't play along and write in the blanks with whatever I have in my life to solve. It's an OK book but it has two flaws from my viewpoint. 1. Too much empty space where you are supposed to add your stuff into the book. Really? I', going to write in the book to do this?? And 2. It sounds like a cheerleader wrote it at times. Great! Good job! Ohm give me a break!!

The ideas are fine, its the presentation. Looks fluffed up and sounds unprofessional at time. if the idea is to really to teach you to think fast (and well), then why keep adding all the padding to the book? Oh, yeah - it would be to make it look like there is more in it than there is.

Simple book that reads more like a magazine or blog article. Precisely because it is both simple and simplified, I'm not exactly convinced following the method would necessary lead to ACCURATE decision making. Level 1 thinking order type of book.

A howto book helping to organise better everyday tasks list done with examples and thorough explanations. For those that need a guide this might be one.
