Temporary Sanity: Instant Self-Leadership Strategies for Turbulent Times Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In today's hectic world, we all have a strong need to find inner peace. All too often people turn to destructive behavior (alcohol, drugs, sex or other tension relievers) as a diversion rather than finding methods that will lead to the peace they seek.
Charles Manz has given us some great, easy to use, easy to understand methods to gain sanity in the moment.
Most of us have heard expressions like, "living in the moment" and "living in flow" without a good explanation of what those expressions really mean. Manz does an excellent job of showing that this moment is all we have and that most suffering is a result of resistance. If you want to suffer less, learn to let go, to accept what is.
While it is a very good book, the lessons must be internalized and used to produce Temporary Sanity. That is, simply reading the book will not change you. You will need to work on implementing the strategies outlined in the book. If you put some effort into implementing the tools given in the book, it will change your life. But it takes some work and action on your part.

How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life (Signet) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life is, perhaps, the best book on time management ever written. It does not waste your time but gets right to the point. You must establish SMART (specific, measurable, achieveable, related/relevant, and time framed) goals for yourself and then prioritize them using Lakein's A/C system. "A" goals are the most important to you and you must plan on spending 80% of your time to achieve them. "C" goals (TV, lawn care, shopping, etc.) are the place where most people "waste" their lives and spend 80% of their time. This ratio must be reversed, according to Lakein.
He would agree with e.e. cummings that "To be nobody but yourself in a world that is night and day trying to make you just like everybody else means to fight the hardest fight any human being can fight, and never stop fighting." Once we have set goals that utilize our unique talents and abilities, we will have the will power and determination to do the work necessary to achieve them.
To accomplish our goals Lakein recommends that we make a daily "to do" list and always start with "A's," not "C's." Most of our time is spent working harder on things that don't matter. We may be efficient, but Lakein suggests that our goal is to do what matters most and become effective. "Work smarter, not harder" is the mantra he wants us to repeat and couple that saying with his last piece of advice --"Do it now."
Stick your finger into this small book and any page you hit will have wise words to put into action. Learning comes from daily practice and developing habits that "put first things first," taken from Stephen Covey's best seller, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People -- also recommended is Covey's fine book on effective living appropriately titled First Things First.
Rarely has a book that costs so little paid such rich dividends. You won't be disappointed.
