ugh I can't wait to never read another PMP book again

I'm studying for my PMP exam so I'm churning my way through some recommended study materials. I will say - this book is an excellent resource. It talks about each of the process groups in order with all associate plan elements and use cases. Then two reference sections cover inputs and outputs and tools and techniques respectively.

I wish that I had found this book years ago instead of chewing my way through the PMBOK and various online reference articles.

Absolutely as riveting as watching paint dry, but essential for project managers regardless of your field.
