Peter Cook Partner Thought Leaders Global and Author of The New Rules of Management Two years ago, I was given a copy of Neen James’ book Secrets of Super-Productivity . Written in short, succinct chapters, it was the perfect read for a time-starved adult with a short attention span (me). Rather than reading it cover to cover, I was able to access the information I needed, when I needed it. It was fun to read (not often the case with business books) and I continue to refer it to friends and colleagues. I’ve since had the honor of working with Neen on a number of events, and the pleasure of sitting in on her Productivity workshops. Her tips on productivity have been career (and life) changing- implementing her strategies has helped me become a more productive manager and a saner working mom. Neen’s latest book, Folding Time , is a “must read” for any working professional struggling to meet the ever growing demands of work and life. If you don’t have the opportunity to sit in on one of Neen’s live sessions, this book is the next best thing.
