READY FOR ANYTHING

An audio with how-to and philosophical ambitions succeeds on both accounts as the author takes productivity principles and practice to a whole new level. Allen is very psychologically minded--keenly aware of the attitude shifts people experience when certain strategies are put into play. He's very prescriptive, urging us to get little things done, work through blocks, and jettison defunct strategies that protect us from new directions. He's eloquent when exhorting us to tap into deeper levels of meaning before starting on any path and especially before involving others in our purpose. These are cutting-edge ideas on productivity, especially when dealing with the gnarly issue of setting up structures in our lives that really work--structures that eliminate behavioral clutter and keep us on track.
