5.0 out of 5 stars my kind of time, 29 Dec 2005
This review is from: The Mind Gym : Give Me Time (Mind Gym) (Paperback)
I read the first book and loved it, even if the subjects were a bit far ranging. When I saw they had produced another book, I wondered if it would be a weaker version of the first. Having read "Give me Time", I can safely say that far from being a shadow of its predecessor, it is more informative, better researched, even easier to use and exceptional value.
Moreover, it touches on aspects of time that I had not realised were so vital in our constant quest to find more time in our lives. One example of this is the chapter on delegation which cleverly explains the difference between precision delegation (which is what most of us do) and capability delegation (which is what most of us should do more of); I have tried their techniques and they really do get other people happily to do your work for you.
Another treat is the chapter on happiness. A surprising thing to find in a book on time, at least it surprised me, but a revelation. The search for happiness affects all of us and this is the most interesting thing I've read on how to get it. No airy-fairy nonsense, just common sense translated from proper psychological research.
The opening chapter is called 'I don't have time to read this book'. A clever way to introduce a questionnaire that guides you to the chapters that you're most likely to find helpful. But, if you're anything like me, once you start you will want to read the whole thing.
If you buy one self-development book buy this one. Unlike most books in this genre, it delivers much, much more than the title suggests.

5.0 out of 5 stars Improve yourself in this gym without breaking a sweat!, 27 Feb 2005
By C. M. Perkins (Stirling, Scotland.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is the model for self-development books for the 21st Century. I have read many self-development books, to benefit personally and to support my work as a trainer and coach. Some have been based on academic research, others have been 'secret of my success' books. This one genuinely stands out.

There is a solid underpinning of well-researched psychology, combined with dozens of practical tools and examples. The Mind Gym have taken the best, most useful theories and presented them in easy to understand ways, illustrating them with real-world examples from many of the participants at their 'Workout' training sessions.

Some of the things this book can help you with:

Develop a more take-charge attitude
Stop procrastinating
Sort out where your life is going and make big decisions
Make a more positive impact on others
Become more influential
Get on better with others, have more gravitas and resolve conflicts
Change other people's attitudes without upsetting them
Break bad news in a sensitive way
Reduce your stress levels
Become a better creative thinker

It's full of interesting self-assessments and you get access to their website for even more useful tools. There's just the right combination of interaction, anecdotes and explanation; and it's structured as a book you can dip into and get ideas straight away for any particular life challenge you face.

All in all, a book that will make a difference - if you USE all the good stuff in it.

For some further reading, have a look at '(Inner) FITness and the FIT Corporation' by Ben Fletcher, also about 'mental fitness'.

5.0 out of 5 stars So much more than the title suggests, 12 May 2006
This review is from: The Mind Gym : Give Me Time (Mind Gym) (Paperback)
Once I started reading this book, I quickly realized it's a book I should have read years ago. It's so much more than the title suggests.

The introduction recommends that you just dip into the book at a chapter that seems to fit what you're looking for, rather than taking the time to read the book cover to cover. I found an interesting chapter 'Manana' and began reading. Wow! It's a short chapter and I got so many good ideas out of it, that really do help to get things done. Typical for this book, it goes below the surface and exposes the real issue. This chapter alone made the book worth buying for me!

With that experience, I enthusiastically carried on reading from another section: 'Time Well Spent'. This comprises four chapters that logically follow on from one another - a course in itself. The first chapter of this section is 'Joy Division'. This chapter was revolutionary to me. It says: if we want to be sure that time couldn't be better spent, we have to know what we want; if we don't know what we want then it's going to be all but impossible to know how to go about getting it. So the chapter then takes us through an analysis of how to be happy and how to maximize it. This techique's so simple you won't forget it, and it might just change your life. I didn't expect to find such stuff in a book on time management, but it's so significant in achieving it. There's nothing airy-fairy about this book's content - it's structured, analytical, scientific, and very well presented. The authors did a great job here! It's easy to read and also humorous at times.

I'd say this book would be useful for anyone. There are revelations in it that anyone could get something new from. This book doesn't propose to be using techniques that have never been thought of before; it's just simply a great book that breaks down the subject of how to manage time outstandingly well in a very structured way. It's helped me a lot. I highly recommend this book!
