18 Minutes

De: Peter Bregman

Narrado por: Peter Bregman

How often do you get to the end of another long and frantic day and wonder why so many important things didn't get finished? We've never worked so hard and felt so unproductive and unfulfilled. 18 Minutes takes this challenge and turns it on its head. Peter Bregman, top Harvard Business Review columnist and global management consultant, shatters the myth of getting it all done by offering a clear and simple plan for getting the right things done. He shows how the best way to fight distracting interruptions is to create productive ones ourselves, a practice that can be easily implemented in 18 minutes a day. The result is a simple yet comprehensive approach to managing your life a year, a day, and a moment at a time so that your life moves forward the way you want and at the pace you want.

Great advice at the right time

As I write this in between sets at the gym, where I listened to this book over the previous couple of weeks, I reflect back on how much I can actually achieve if I just stop, think and schedule. No more just do it!

Brilliant!

Too many to mention - but the one that is most prominent in my mind: the focus areas of your life. Where Peter explains why it's important and how to focus on your top 5 focus areas for the year.

Nice, fresh look about productivity

If you have read "Getting Thing Done" by David Allen, this book gives you a fresh look n productivity. In very easy way, Peter explains what you can do, to improve your productivity in healthly way.
This book is must read for those, who still needs stimulation and insights for improving selft performance.
Book worth every penny. Very good narration, interesting stories. Peter keeps complete book short to enable you to read this book as much times as you need. I will listen it at least one more time, and for sure i will back to it every time, when i will need good motivation.

Complete waste of time and money.. Trust me

Would you try another book from Peter Bregman and/or Peter Bregman?

Never. This is my first book review ever and that`s because I`m so pissed off.. This is really a waste of time and money. Stay away. If you don`t trust me check out the negative reviews on Amazon. I so agree with most of them!

Has 18 Minutes turned you off from other books in this genre?

This book is just awful. A waste of time and money! Peter just talks about many random stories about this and that, and it`s really hard to believe that this author actually went to Princeton. Someone should have stopped him from publishing this

What didn’t you like about Peter Bregman’s performance?

This book is completely random, and there is almost no red line.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

No, this book is just awful!

Any additional comments?

I want my time and money back!!!!

Not worth reading/listen to story

What would have made 18 Minutes better?

The author could be less self-centred and realise that his indulgence is a barrier for the information he wants to convey.

What could Peter Bregman have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Never published the book

Would you be willing to try another one of Peter Bregman’s performances?

Never
