Amazon.co.uk Review According to Steven R. Covey, to live with security and wisdom, and to have the power to take advantages of the opportunities that change creates, we need fairness, integrity, honesty and human dignity. Quite a tall order when you consider that most of us live our lives in a permanent state of flux, questioning our ideals and values and fighting a daily battle with the lack of self-confidence that stops us from taking risks of any kind. But, in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey manages to make it sound as if changing the way we look at ourselves and the world around us so that we can become more successful both personally and professionally an absolute doddle. He defines the "habits" as "the intersection of knowledge, skill and desire" and states that the "Seven Habits" of the title are not mutually exclusive, but rather when developed together help to form a well-rounded, sensitive, confident and effective human being. As with many self-help books, much of what you read here is based on basic common sense and can at times be irritatingly obvious. However, what Covey manages to do so successfully is to break down the barriers which prevent all of us from taking a long hard look at ourselves, and then gradually introduces new rules which allow us to move first from dependence to independence and then towards the ultimate goal of interdependence. But of course, the only real way to test the value of The Habits--be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think "win/win", seek first to understand and then to be understood, synergise, sharpen the saw-- is to work on them. This book is as good as any place to start on the road to self-awareness and self-improvement in the workplace and in the home without becoming too irritatingly smug and self-satisfied. --Susan Harrison [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Clear Your Clutter With Feng Shui'
Drawing on the success of her first book, Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui, Karen Kingston has met popular demand by expanding on the indispensable activity of clearing clutter. There is very little of actual Feng Shui here, and certainly nothing you can't get elsewhere, but the clutter problem gets full and complete treatment. Kingston reminds us that clutter is stuck energy that keeps you stuck in undesirable life patterns. Therefore, you can "sort out your life by sorting out your junk." Kingston covers the reasons we keep things as well as the amazing stories of people who have cleared their clutter away. More than just junk, clutter is all those things that have negative symbology and that collect stagnant energy. This latter can also apply to bodily, emotional, and spiritual clutter, all of which Kingston describes with characteristic passion. In an age of accumulation, it's good to see a book that frees up life again. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Getting Things Done: Staying Stress Free & Productive in a World of Too Much to Do'
With first-chapter allusions to martial arts, "flow", "mind like water", and other concepts borrowed from the East (and usually mangled), you'd almost think this self-helper from David Allen should have been called Zen and the Art of Schedule Maintenance.
Not quite. Yes, Getting Things Done offers a complete system for downloading all those free-floating gotta-dos clogging your brain into a sophisticated framework of files and action lists--all purportedly to free your mind to focus on whatever you're working on. However, it still operates from the decidedly Western notion that if we could just get really, really organised, we could turn ourselves into 24/7 productivity machines. (To wit, Allen, whom the New Economy bible Fast Company has dubbed "the personal productivity guru", suggests that instead of meditating on crouching tigers and hidden dragons while you wait for a plane, you should unsheathe that high-tech sabre known as the mobile phone and attack that list of calls you need to return.)
As whole-life-organising systems go, Allen's is pretty good, even fun and therapeutic. It starts with the exhortation to take every unaccounted-for scrap of paper in your workstation that you can't junk. The next step is to write down every unaccounted-for gotta-do cramming your head onto its own scrap of paper. Finally, throw the whole stew into a giant "in-basket".
That's where the processing and prioritising begin; in Allen's system, it get a little convoluted at times, rife as it is with fancy terms, subterms, and sub-subterms for even the simplest concepts. Thank goodness the spine of his system is captured on a straightforward, one-page flowchart that you can pin over your desk and repeatedly consult without having to refer back to the book. That alone is worth the purchase price. Also of value is Allen's ingenious Two-Minute Rule: if there's anything you absolutely must do that you can do right now in two minutes or less, then do it now, thus freeing up your time and mind tenfold over the long term. It's common sense advice so obvious that most of us completely overlook it, much to our detriment. Allen excels at dispensing such wisdom in this useful, if somewhat belaboured, self-improver aimed at everyone from CEOs to football mums (who, we all know, are more organised than most CEOs to start with). --Timothy Murphy [via]

Martha Stewart's decorating ideas are deceptively simple. The materials are readily available and the instructions are easy, masking the sophistication it takes to realize the simplistic beauty of a plain white plate with a single maple leaf as a place card. "Good Things" is what Martha Stewart calls the "easy tips" segment of her television show, and, in fact, all of the tips in this book are remarkably easy (at least, in comparison to some of her other projects). Martha's potato, sweet potato, and onion latkes are remarkably good, and are particularly recommended for those who may still doubt whether they can match Martha in their own kitchens. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Home Comforts: The Art And Science Of Keeping House'
Virtually everyone enjoys a crisply ironed dress shirt, clean sheets on a well-made bed, and a savory home-cooked meal. Yet housekeeping today stands as a somewhat neglected, if not maligned, job. But as author Cheryl Mendelson points out in Home Comforts, keeping house well can be a rewarding position--it allows you to provide for the physical and emotional comfort of loved ones. It's also not an easy job--there's much to be learned about properly managing a home, and Mendelson has set out to provide a guide to doing just that.
Mendelson, a homemaker, lawyer, and mother, learned about housekeeping from an early age from her grandmothers, one Appalachian, the other Italian. The two grandmothers taught her that although different ways of keeping house can be appropriate, there are generally smarter, faster, and more creative ways of housekeeping that make it less of a chore and more of an art. In a practical, authoritative tone, Mendelson discusses the ins and outs of homemaking, such as washing dishes, recommended cleaning methods for various surfaces, housekeeping for those with pets or allergies, and emergency preparedness and safety procedures.
Mendelson's well-researched book includes meticulous sections on food (for example, which foods belong in the fridge versus the pantry, food storage times, picking the freshest fruits and vegetables, and keeping your kitchen and food sanitary) as well as laundry (caring for various fabrics, how to read--and read between the lines of--clothing care labels, and removing stains). Mendelson covers a lot of ground, and as she herself points out, readers shouldn't feel required to do everything mentioned in the book--simply pick the activities that seem appropriate for your particular home. This is a comprehensive reference book that should serve homemakers well and induce a greater appreciation for the effort and specialized knowledge that go into keeping house. --Kris Law [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Los 7 Habitos De La Gente Altamente Efectiva'
Desde 1991 en la lista semanal de libros mas vendidos del Publishers Weekly (y a menudo encabezandola), este indiscutible best-seller se merecia una puesta al dia, y eso es lo que ha hecho su autor con esta nueva edicion: la estructura general no cambia -hubiera resultado absurdo, dado su alto grado de efectividad-, solo se amplia, se extiende hacia nuevos temas y detalles que el lector sin duda agradecera. El punto de partida general, pues, sigue siendo el mismo: el hecho ineludible de que casi todo el mundo intuye que su comportamiento en la empresa podria mejorar en muchos aspectos, pero pocos saben como conseguirlo. A partir de ahi, Stephen Covey, el llamado Socrates americano, no da consejos paternalistas ni se dedica a sermonear sin ton ni son. Su metodo es claro, certero y eficiente: casi un cursillo dividido en siete etapas que el lector debera asimilar y poner en practica por su propia cuenta, adaptandolas a su personalidad y aplicandolas libremente en todos los ambitos de la vida empresarial. Para ello, el autor se sirve de anecdotas penetrantes y significativas destinadas a hacernos reflexionar sobre cada uno de nuestros actos y sobre el modo de acceder al cambio, a la verdadera efectividad: desde la vision personal hasta la autorrenovacion equilibrada, pasando por el liderazgo personal, la administracion personal, el liderazgo interpersonal, la comunicacion empatica y la cooperacion creativa. Teniendo en cuenta todo esto, y a traves del desarrollo de ciertos conceptos, el lector acaba comprendiendo que todo lo que hagamos debera estar de acuerdo con lo que realmente veamos. Es decir que, si queremos cambiar la situacion, deberemos cambiarnos a nosotros mismos con eficacia, en primer termino tendremos que cambiar nuestras percepciones. El resultado es la construccion de una autoconfianza a prueba de bomba a traves del desarrollo del propio caracter, de la integridad, la honestidad y la dignidad humana necesarias para transformar nuestro universo laboral en algo autentico e intransferible.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Organizing from the Inside Out: The Foolproof System for Organizing Your Home, Your Office, and Your Life'
It's about time! Julie Morgenstern has written an organizing book that covers a new way of looking at the task of organizing effectively without labeling or blaming the person behind the lack of organization. Rather, she says, people who don't organize just never learned how to organize, through no fault of their own--after all, it's not a skill that's taught in school. That said, she gets down to work helping you figure out an organizing system that will really work for you, not a system based on cookie-cutter filing concepts or special storage units.
Morgenstern's "from the inside out" system begins by laying out the possible reasons for a failure of organization: technical errors (like having a complex organizing system that breaks down), external realities (like not enough space for your belongings), and psychological obstacles (like fear of failure--or success). Then, her Analyze and Strategize steps help create a plan of action based on your needs and goals, and the brief chapter called "Attack: Getting the Job Done" offers basic ideas for making space. The largest section of the book, "Applying What You've Learned," addresses the specifics of organizing workspaces, home offices, living spaces, and storage areas. Each section has a "How Long Will It Take?" box that gives a realistic time estimate, and Morgenstern's "Julie's No-Brainer Toss List" for each area gives the permission and encouragement that most of us have been waiting for to get rid of things we'll never use again. The section at the end, "Tackling Time and Technology," is worth its weight in DayTimers and PalmPilots. Whatever your organizing issues are, you're not a hopeless case, and you don't need special equipment--just a little understanding of the problem and a willingness to plan before diving in. [via]

Based on Allen's highly popular e-newsletter, Principles of Productivity, Ready for Anything offers fifty-two principles to clear your head, focus productively, create structures that work, and get in motion, including:
* stability on one level opens creativity on another
* you can't win a game you haven't defined
* the value of a future goal is the present change it fosters
With wit, motivational insights, and inspiring quotes, Ready for Anything shows readers how to make things happen with less effort, stress, and ineffectiveness, and lots more energy, creativity, and clarity. This is the perfect book for anyone wanting to work and live at their very best. [via]

Legendary community organizer Saul Alinsky inspired a generation of activists and politicians with Reveille for Radicals, the original handbook for social change. Alinsky writes both practically and philosophically, never wavering from his belief that the American dream can only be achieved by an active democratic citizenship. First published in 1946 and updated in 1969 with a new introduction and afterword, this classic volume is a bold call to action that still resonates today. [via]

Amazon.co.uk Review According to Steven R. Covey, to live with security and wisdom, and to have the power to take advantages of the opportunities that change creates, we need fairness, integrity, honesty and human dignity. Quite a tall order when you consider that most of us live our lives in a permanent state of flux, questioning our ideals and values and fighting a daily battle with the lack of self-confidence that stops us from taking risks of any kind. But, in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey manages to make it sound as if changing the way we look at ourselves and the world around us so that we can become more successful both personally and professionally an absolute doddle. He defines the "habits" as "the intersection of knowledge, skill and desire" and states that the "Seven Habits" of the title are not mutually exclusive, but rather when developed together help to form a well-rounded, sensitive, confident and effective human being. As with many self-help books, much of what you read here is based on basic common sense and can at times be irritatingly obvious. However, what Covey manages to do so successfully is to break down the barriers which prevent all of us from taking a long hard look at ourselves, and then gradually introduces new rules which allow us to move first from dependence to independence and then towards the ultimate goal of interdependence. But of course, the only real way to test the value of The Habits--be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think "win/win", seek first to understand and then to be understood, synergise, sharpen the saw-- is to work on them. This book is as good as any place to start on the road to self-awareness and self-improvement in the workplace and in the home without becoming too irritatingly smug and self-satisfied. --Susan Harrison [via]

Desde 1991 en la lista semanal de libros mas vendidos del Publishers Weekly (y a menudo encabezandola), este indiscutible best-seller se merecia una puesta al dia, y eso es lo que ha hecho su autor con esta nueva edicion: la estructura general no cambia -hubiera resultado absurdo, dado su alto grado de efectividad-, solo se amplia, se extiende hacia nuevos temas y detalles que el lector sin duda agradecera. El punto de partida general, pues, sigue siendo el mismo: el hecho ineludible de que casi todo el mundo intuye que su comportamiento en la empresa podria mejorar en muchos aspectos, pero pocos saben como conseguirlo. A partir de ahi, Stephen Covey, el llamado Socrates americano, no da consejos paternalistas ni se dedica a sermonear sin ton ni son. Su metodo es claro, certero y eficiente: casi un cursillo dividido en siete etapas que el lector debera asimilar y poner en practica por su propia cuenta, adaptandolas a su personalidad y aplicandolas libremente en todos los ambitos de la vida empresarial. Para ello, el autor se sirve de anecdotas penetrantes y significativas destinadas a hacernos reflexionar sobre cada uno de nuestros actos y sobre el modo de acceder al cambio, a la verdadera efectividad: desde la vision personal hasta la autorrenovacion equilibrada, pasando por el liderazgo personal, la administracion personal, el liderazgo interpersonal, la comunicacion empatica y la cooperacion creativa. Teniendo en cuenta todo esto, y a traves del desarrollo de ciertos conceptos, el lector acaba comprendiendo que todo lo que hagamos debera estar de acuerdo con lo que realmente veamos. Es decir que, si queremos cambiar la situacion, deberemos cambiarnos a nosotros mismos con eficacia, en primer termino tendremos que cambiar nuestras percepciones. El resultado es la construccion de una autoconfianza a prueba de bomba a traves del desarrollo del propio caracter, de la integridad, la honestidad y la dignidad humana necesarias para transformar nuestro universo laboral en algo autentico e intransferible.

Este libro tiene un objetivo claro: demostrar que existe un sistema de organización del trabajo que nos permite liberar la mente de las tensiones que inhiben nuestra creatividad, y que nos hace más eficaces en todos los aspectos de la vida.
David Allen sostiene que nuestra mente tiene una capacidad limitada para almacenar información y propone una serie de fórmulas prácticas para eliminar las tensiones e incrementar nuestra capacidad de trabajo y nuestro rendimiento.
Organízate con eficacia se fundamenta en unas sencillas normas básicas de organización del tiempo, como por ejemplo la necesidad de determinar cuál es el siguiente paso a dar en cada uno de nuestros proyectos, o la regla de los dos minutos (si surge una tarea pendiente y se puede hacer en menos de dos minutos, debe hacerse inmediatamente). El sistema propuesto por Allen soluciona ansiedades y desconciertos, y nos permite transformar nuestro modo de trabajar y la manera de percibir nuestros retos cotidianos. [via]
