Review of 'Making it all work' on 'Goodreads'

3 Sterne

I am a bit torn between the message (which is helpful and important), the length (which is at least 3 times longer than it should be) and the style (which is his typical habitus).

If think it is inevitable to think about your upper flight levels (goals, purpose, values, ...) if you were able to clean the flight deck. I don't think you need hundred of pages for that. There is a lot of repetition within the book and also between this book and "Getting Things Done".

There are not many sketches in the book. This together with his typical talking style (which you can hear in the podcast all the time) let's me suggest the audio version (although I haven't heard it), probably on 2-3 times faster than normal.
