18 Minutes – Peter Bregman (What I’m Reading: 11-2011)
Quote from the Introduction:
“Think of 18 Minutes as the FIND ME button for your life. It will guide you to your most effective self. It will offer you a clear view of yourself and your surroundings and then provide you with a map to help you get where you want to go. It’s the app that can help you reclaim your life.”
Page 9:
“Reducing your forward momentum is the first step to freeing yourself from the beliefs, habit, feelings, and busyness that may be limiting you.”
Page 109:
“Each morning, I ask myself some questions: Am I prepared for this day? Prepared to make it a successful, productive day? Have I thought about it? Planned for it? Anticipated the risks that might take me off track? Will my plan for this day keep me focused on what my year is about?
The chapters in this section will guide you to prepare for – and live – each day so you can answer those questions with a resounding “Yes!”
HK Comment: The author provides some terrific insights about the importance of going slow, and even stopping, in order to speed up one’s progress.
