The Power of An Hour: Business and Life Mastery in One ... (ISBN 1596591277)

A book that will stand the test of time!:
An Hour! Just one short HOUR! What can the Author Dave Lakhani teach me to do in one hour? Dave teaches you that your whole life, you very being and your futures can all be determined within how you spend a single hour. When was the last time you sat down, emptied you head of daily rubbish and focus on a task for the solid hour? No interruptions, no requests for coffee, no can you do this for me? I read the book and was astounded about just how much time I give up to help others who should know how to help themselves and all at the determent of my own success. FEARSOME FOCUS: Remember this term as this book will coin the term and i can be sure that other books, companies and tv programs will start to use the phrase. It's an awesome book and my hat goes off to Dave and the work he has produced. Superb! Gary May Author: SELLING: Powerful New Strategies for Sales Success www.garymay.co.uk

Fascinating, focused, fabulous!!!!!:
Intense writing, with a perfect blueprint for making a better life.Helped me FINALLY get organized!!! One of the best books on this subject, and written from a different perspective (that of just using an hour a day to get there)....that makes sense to the truly busy person!!!

Wow, Just in one hour!:
I've taught time management and organization for years and always had the challenge of getting people to understand what is behind or below all the tools. Dave has hit it on the nose! It's not about having organizational tools. It's about focusing your mind and heart! Dave does a great job of helping you see it and how to do it!

Relatively compleat, but can be deeper and better:
This is for sure an easy read very suitable for business executives who long for improvement amidst their busy work life. Apparently the 23 chapters (with great summaries and questions in each of them) which can be read independently are real quick fixes. The problem is: Self improvement always comes with change, which is very difficult unless readers already own the mindset or the urge to confront their own psychological blockades and to take action. The author had definitely provided the tools, but not the fuel nor the inspirations. If you seldom read self improvement books at all and you want to learn acquire some tools, this is helpful. If you had already read more than three, please give this a pass. p.s. Below please find some of my favorite passages for your reference. 45 minutes are spent in Fearsome Focus and 15 minutes are spent at the end of the hour doing necessary nonfocus activities like returning e-mail......You must be ruthless in following the 45/15 rule. pg 7 By asking yourself to frame your answers in someone else's voice and ideology you'll come up with new ideas. Are you channelling Einstein? Of course not; you are simply giving your brain permission to work outside the normal set of boundaries and structures that you use to keep it reigned in. pg 31 It is imperative that you identify the energy thieves early and either exorcise them from your life or, at minimum, control their impact by giving them only limited access. pg 64 Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare. Japanese proverb. pg 99 First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do. - Epictetus pg 101 There is only one success - to spend your lfie in your own way. - Christopher Morley pg 103
