Trent,

I personally think this and the GTD stuff is some of your most useful content. It is so helpful and interesting to see someone not just give technical overview of material but to share in detail how it applies specifically to their life. It is often information that books don’t have the time to get delve into, but really helps readers connect and apply the materials to their day to day lives.

This overview alone really helped my find the right framework with which I can really help pair down my commitments.

Awesome series.

Thank goodness the author of the book, whose name I’ve mercifully blanked out, didn’t write 30 chapters! The unread agony of these 20 columns is at an end. Easy work for you Trent, rewriting somone else’s 20 chapters into 20 dull, over long, superfluouscolumns, 19 too many for my taste. Please don’t ever do this again. People unable to read this book could get it on tape and have it read to them. It’s hard work to think of fresh material for 19 columns, but they would have been read. I gave up, this stuff was tedious.

Thank you for the series and this final overview of the key points. Don’t be fooled by the naysayers. This kind of series is of great use to those of us who don’t have the time to read the book and don’t need the details, but can “get” and use the principles from your summary. This particular series has been my favorite.

I agree with the first two commentators. I ended up skimming over most of these posts…

Trent, thanks so much for this.

I’ve loved the series and it has inspired me to rethink my life and goals. Sharing this is an act of generosity, and I am grateful to you for it.

Ditto, although I did glean one tiny tidbit. I suggest sticking to the 1-shot overall book reports in the future – if people want the level of detail Trent went in to for all these posts, they should buy the book [or check it out from the library] so they’re getting it from the source rather than taking someone else’s interpretation.

Seriously. Most BORING series ever. I’m glad Trent you enjoyed writing this because very few would have enjoyed reading this.
