Gives good examples of how people trip themselves up at work. Also speaks to managers who might be in charge of those people.
One of the main, most interesting ideas for was to eliminate the phrase "have to" from your vocabulary. Those two words can make a task seem more complicated and unappealing than it needs to be.
There is an appendix at the end of the book which covers the key ideas and can be used for a quick review.

Seems geared towards people who are managers or self-employed. Not sure the advice will help me or not. Maybe if it wasn't a library book and I could fill out the worksheets.

Not quite as good as the original, but a good refresher on it anyhow.

I really got to start paying more attention to the books I order from the library. I meant to get "The Now Habit." I found it on a productivity site and thought it sounded interesting. Alas, I wasn't paying attention and ended up with this book.  There is nothing groundbreaking in this book. It just tells you to focus on your "priorities" which I am clearly not doing as I should be working on a freelance writing thingie, but instead, I am here typing up book reviews. ANYWAY This is just to get my brain warmed up.

As a freelancer, there was not a lot that I felt I could take away from this book. It gave tips on how to deal with distraction n the office. And the book emphasizes you to focus focus focus. Someone took to much Adderall and then wrote this book.

It gives some tips on how to build your self-esteem. And it talks about work life balance and all the other stuff that most other productivity books speak of.

The writing wasn't spectacular, and there was no groundbreaking theory or anything in this book. There are other books out there that have better writing and better ideas to implement.

I keep thinking that the reason that I did not really like this book is that I wasn't in the target audience. If you work in an office and need to boost your self-esteem up a few notches, then you may find this book helpful.This review was originally posted on Adventures in Never Never Land
