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.
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.
