Story
There are 168 hours in a week. This book is about where the time really goes, and how we can all use it better. It's an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. With the rise of two-income families, extreme jobs, and 24/7 connectivity, life is so frenzied we can barely find time to breathe. We tell ourselves we'd like to read more, get to the gym regularly, try new hobbies, and accomplish all kinds of goals.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

You'll never see leadership the same way again after reading this book. These 15 commitments are a distillation of decades of work with CEOs and other leaders. They are radical or provocative for many. They have been game changers for us and for our clients. We trust they will be for you too. Our experience is that unconscious leadership is not sustainable. It won't work for you, your team, or your organization in the long term.

Painfully boring, outdated and stereotypical
This book is the single most boring and frustrating book I have ever read. With recent advances in digital systems, even the latest update of the book is now very outdated. The old fashioned concepts of manual paper filing systems are all but gone in most workplaces now. The examples used are so often narrowly focussed to the American business executive world. The author makes continual grand assumptions about the audience to the point that it is a frustrating and annoying distraction from the content. This is a popular book and concept, but I am really left wondering how anyone can make it to the end without poking their eyeballs out in frustration. 1 star. Disappointing.

Brain relief
GTD finally freed my brain from all the "coulda, shoulda, woulda, but not sure how to" and let me focus on "right now" again because "later" has been captured and will look after itself.

Good idea but intense to listen to
I think this book would be better as a text, because listening to it you sometimes lose the line of the story. The ideas are great. I came here after listening to zen to done because I wanted more background information. I think in the end zen to done is more my style, but I am going to give this another listen for sure!

Life at the next level
This book is for anyone that has experienced overwhelm and is bursting with ideas and goals to achieve in one lifetime.
The principles are straightforward and practical to implement into day to day life.
The book will require several reads to go back and truly understand and implement each aspect of the system to build confidence in the application of GTD and build mastery in its use.
The contents are just as relevant to a home maker as to a CEO.
I appreciated the many real life examples given in the book to cement a practical understanding of the methods.
A worthwhile read and worth sharing with others.

This is a complete guide to organising your life. It guides step by step all the areas needed to get clear and take meaningful action. The presentation is a bit dry so I listened at 1.3 x speed and took prolific notes! Highly recommend.
