A fantastic book, written with honesty, humour, and no BS advice. Only knock against it is that about 25-30% is US-only focussed. However, the principles explained in the book are valuable no matter what country you happen to live in. A fantastic resource for anyone wanting to get serious about personal finance without any pain.
A great little Kindle Single which effectively and concisely explains why Evernote is useful and one way to set it up to get you started reaping the benefits of the service. Worth reading if you have tried to use evernote but could never quite get your head around how best to use it.
An absolutely storming book with a brilliant mix of sci-fi and story to make it extremely readable. A good story and interesting concepts combined with a fast pace make this a perfect book for people looking to get into sci-fi.
One of the best productivity books out there. The only book to come close to Getting Things Done by David Allen in its effect on how I think about and experience my work and personal life.
Starts off slow but gets better and has a great end. Writing isn't amazing, and some of the action scenes read as a bit confused, but the benefit is to the fast pace of the novel.
The Circle by Dave Eggers is, as feared, a predictable YA style book that is a poor ‘modern' adaptation of Orwells 1984 that ads nothing new or particularly interesting.
An enjoyable read. Not particularly well written or clever but a fun way to spend a few hours exploring a seedier side to the conflicts between Heaven and Hell.
An amazing guide to how to use OmniFocus. Perfect for after you have read David Allen's ‘Getting Things Done' and would like to apply those methods in a sound way.
This book introduces you to the application, and slowly builds up your abilities until you feel comfortable and ready to ‘create flow'. Through use of some very clever perspectives, the author imbues the reader with master level skills and relates it all to everyday life. His background as a psychiatrist really proves useful in how he relates GTD to the mind.
An absolute must read if you want to, or do use OmniFocus.
Great book exploring the benefits and dangers of public and privateness in modern society.
A good overview of the life of Steve Jobs, but severely lacking, flawed, and flatly incorrect in places where talking about the technology industry. A good read, but should have been a great one.
A very good, fun book which weaves myth with mysticism and modern day London. Loved how accurate the description of London, and Londoners, is but didn't like that some of the fleshing out of characters and extra detail detracted from the momentum of the story and found the description of the characters lacking in character more often than not. A great book to read if you're an Anglophile or are or have ever been a Londoner.
