Why, What and How books on productivity and living
Just a short not, this one.
Like most entrepreneurs and geeks (or both), I've read some of the modern classics on business, productivity and basically how to live a life that's stress free and of better quality. Three of them stand out:
- Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
- David Allen's Getting Things Done
- Tim Ferriss's The 4-Hour Work Week
I've only read each of them through once, but it feels like, in trying to helping you achieve your life's goals, they are all complementary to each other in the following way:
- Covey talks about why you might want those goals and why you might chose one path rather than another in order to get there.
- Ferriss guides you towards defining what those goals are, and what choices you may have or want.
- And Allen shows you how to get there with the least amount of stress.
I'm looking forward to reading them again with those points in mind, and I think the order would have to be Covey, then Ferriss, then Allen.
