I could have done without the first 20% of the book, because it was just a long version of "I hate nanowrimo but I like nanowrimo. But mostly I hate it." - And to be clear, this is not about the opinion itself, it's about why do I care about this, when I am reading this to learn to outline quickly, not how to write for nano specifically.

That said, I liked the question prompts and that there was an actual example. But there was nothing groundbreaking here, and if you need a bit more on structure, other books are better.
Also the 3 hour thing is debatable.

Just because it's a "busy author's guide" does not mean you can grab what is essentially a single blog post and slap a price on it. This felt like such a rip off.

This is not a book. This is a blog post at worst, a lead magnet at best. They just up and monetized it.
You'd find far better information googling questions for outlining a novel than reading this leaflet, and it'd take the same amount of time.

As for the questions the "book" lists for you, they are not bad but they are super basic. Like, pick a genre and point of view, and what will your character's goal be?
Any outlining or novel structuring book will give you this (and more) information that will be far more useful for you long term. Plus it will actually explain how to put it all toghether.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this, get a real writing craft book instead.
