Pros: Decent background story makes it a little more 'human'
Cons: Too many played out concepts, no fresh concepts, simply bad ideas.
Summary: I have been a long time reader of self help, motivational, and sales related books for as far back as I can remember, including parts of even middle school. The reason that I read them isn't always so much for the message, but for the ... read more

Pros: Time-lines and challenges force you to act if you want change.
Cons: Timothy assumes anyone reading this book is a self-motivated superstar like himself.

Pros: Offers some good advice with respect to Time Management.
Cons: If you're attracted to such a book, you won't be able to implement such tactics.
Summary: I'm a sucker for marketing. I judge books by their covers, and this one was no different. How could you ignore the title? For the working, middle-class, 40+hour drones, cutting your hours by 90% sounds like a fantasy, and while this book offers some ... read more

Pros: Funny quotes , good website citations. occasional philosophic question , product testing idea
Cons: repackaged old motivational stuff. lame 3rd party stories.

Pros: Interesting ideas that may help your improve your work-life balance
Cons: You should not take everything seriously, these things are not new.
Summary: Somehow I see B.S. and scam all over the place, it’s like they think that we (people) are so darn stupid that we’ll buy any B.S. they (con artists) pull. Obviously, the field of diet supplements and self-help is eroded with such people all over ... read more
