Amazing short little read

He makes nodes to some very important aspects surrounding consciousness. Dale Carnegie suggested this book and it did not disappoint. I would say a person who lacks self awareness will most likely not enjoy this at all.

Jolly Good

This was quite fun to listen to. While the content is very good, the delivery made it feel like I was having a conversation with the Great Gatsby.

Attention lost

While the content has merit I struggled to remain attentive. I also didn't enjoy the narrator very much.

Excellent

Old school but excellent way of time management. The narration was well done and seem to capture the essence of the message.

Not as much insight as I hoped

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

It wasn't much time so it's not going to be one of life's huge regrets.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

It would make an awful movie about a day in the life of an old fashioned english business man. In which nothing unexpected ever happens.

Any additional comments?

Some nice ideas in early self help.

Delightful

Not a chore. Ninety minutes spent nicely. (Ignore the novelist steering you towards book-length poetry.) Eric Brooks will remind you a little of Wilfrid Hyde-White, if you like the sound of that.

Timeless!

This information is invaluable to keep the emphasis on the best way to spend our time in life!

Relevant and well played.

An excellent if slightly dated discussion. The concepts and practices are not only still relevant and echoed in the productivity literature of today.

The narrator is extraordinary and moves this work from literature into the frame of a discussion.

Has some good points

This is an older book with some older ideas. However, there are some good takeaways. There is a reason is has lasted this long. It is worth the short read

Classic Work on Time Management

Long before Time Management became a standard staple of self-development, this work showed people how to be more aware of the time they possessed and how to make the most of it. While the example work/life schedule has shifted from the example of a typical day presented at the time this book was written, the principles and practices are still the core of essential personal time management today!
