I thought this to be an interesteing book. As a whole, its tools dddn't klump together, but individually the are awesome. The personal storie are informative and good for giving you a better idea of how to apply this tools. I disagree with the way he presents them, as though you could apply everyone of the tools in every situation. I believe like everything, there is a time and place for each of them. I recommend that you read this (make sure you understand and can apply it) then read Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and First Things First by Robert Covey.
