Let me start out by saying I loved Mr. Allen's first book “Getting Thing's Done” and have put the practices in to place, have sent employees to his seminar, and have generally been a cheerleader.

This book falls flat. This is what it felt like Mr. Allen was saying to me.

  1. You DIDN'T understand what I was trying to say in my first two books.
  2. You CAN'T understand what it was I was trying to say in my first two books.
  3. Let me make this more academic and less understandable so I can write another book to tell you how you don't understand the complexity of simplicity.

HOWEVER - I would highly recommend getting the book from the library, skipping directly to the appendices, and making copies for personal use. There is some real value in those last 8 - 10 pages.
