The long-awaited follow-up to the New York Times bestseller Getting Things Done. David Allen's Getting …

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

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.

Constanze Kurz, Frank Rieger: Die Datenfresser (German language, S. Fischer Verlag) 3 Sterne

Review of 'Die Datenfresser' on 'Goodreads'

3 Sterne

Einerseits versuchen die Autoren die Gefahren auf klassische Weise darzustellen, in dem sie Aufzeigen was unter Umständen passieren kann. Es wird aber auch eine kleine Geschichte erzählt, in Romanform, die eine Dystopie aufzeigt. Da das Buch schon sieben Jahre alt ist, ist die Dystopie nicht mehr ganz so weit weg wie damals. :-)

Zwischendurch war es ganz unterhaltsam zu lesen aber so richtig fesselnd war es nicht. Die Tipps im letzten Kapitel waren ganz nützlich aber auch nicht so überraschend.

Good to hear, although it's hard to write some notes while hearing and driving a car. I might buy the paper or kindle version to make some notes.

Good, if you want to get some ideas on what might be important in life, in your life.

This is not a step by step recipe to accomplish what is important in your life. I would have been surprised if they know me and wrote the recipe for me, personally.
So, be open to adapt, ask yourself some questions and act upon the answers.
