How to Stop Being Lazy and Overcome Your Procrastination (Productive Habits Book 1)
How to Stop Being Lazy and Overcome Your Procrastination (Productive Habits Book 1)

Review:I read several snippets from other books on procrastination and they all seemed to say that it's my fault that I procrastinate, which it is, but they did not really tell ways that l could fix the problem. The author has put a lot time into researching this subject and has compiled a very doable plan to alleviate procrastination. The best part is that he reiterates several times that this is a slow progress and to keep your eyes on the prize and to take baby steps. I've already picked the habit... Read more

How to Innovate with Minimum Viable Products and Rapid Customer Feedback

Review:For someone getting into these topics for the first time, the book will be interesting and readers might end up reading more detailed and better books to learn about the topics.
Having read several really good books, for me personally this one seemed really oversimplified and trying to put as many buzz words and topics in less text. So much, that I barely managed to make my self read it until the end. Read more

Review:Insightful. Readable. Easy to remember structure. Easy to teach others the change structure they offer. I've had health care operations senior managers reference it during change initiatives to make sure they covered all six sources. I'd recommend everyone drop the complicated and complex change management structures they use and adopt this. Read more

Turbocharge Your Business with Relentless Focus on 12 Key Strategies

Review:I liked the information, it was an easy read, and it gave practical advice that could be implemented almost immediately. It goes right along side other system-building and productivity books.

I DIDN'T like in the kindle edition that every time the word "service" came up, it was broken up into two words ("ser vice"). And it was in there a lot. Read more
