It was only nine years ago that Jim Harmer worked at a dollar store, stocking shelves while struggling through law school. He had worked hard for his goals, but there was no assurance in sight that he would ever achieve them. During that year, he learned a key truth that changed the way he worked. He found the one unique quality inside him - one we all have - that gave him a reason to work. He didn’t know it then, but that secret ingredient was his "work energy". Jim has constructed the framework behind his success. Within this book, you will discover your own "work energy".

Best Book For True Success
This is the first book I selected from the 200 books I planned to read this year--I am happy with my decision. I believe this will be the best year of my personal and profesdional life as a result and intend to make it known with every milestone reached. Simply put, this book is a must read for anyone, lay person or professional, who wishes to improve his/her life and career experience.
The wealth of meaningful and practical insights and tactics can save you much pain, confusion, frustration, time, money, effort, and stress. "Finish What You Started" is a priceless gift to myself and the best way to start the year. It will be my number one reference for practice optimization. Absolutely wonderful, life changing product.

There's a lot of good sense in this book
This is a short book of just under 3 hours - but it doesn't carry any dead weight. The book is very much focused on providing ideas and suggestions and practical tips for finishing what you start. If you pulled all of the ideas out, they'd probably amount to about 30 practical suggestions. I've implemented a couple of them. I've felt that my laziness/inertia is intractable - but in fact it's not. It's just a series of poor habits and ignorance about how I work, and what works for me. This book goes a long way to helping you get to know yourself, and identifying what (from the selection offered) can move you forward in achieving your goals and objectives. I listened to the book 3 times, and each time I heard something new.

Cool AI narration
I liked the monotone bot narration. It's not distracting the way humans are. The content was a concise explanation of of most of the effective success mechanisms found in books in this genre. Plus the author was kind enough to spare us from personal anecdotes.

Productivity 101
Meh, more of a primer course for people with poorly developed organisational skills or understanding of what it takes to be productive.
If you're just starting out on a quest to find out why you struggle to get anywhere, this is a good place to start. If you want a deep dive, this is not the answer.

This is a roadmap for success and happiness and if I only use half of it I will still have profited greatly and I feel once again in control. Thank you for writing this,

This Book Seems Systematic and Listenable Weekly.
Ideas such as temptation-bundling, setting goals based on personal history while not having excessively high or low expectations, missions being worthwhile, and discomfort needing to be tolerated sound helpful.
However, the 70/40 rule looks like it's based on arbitrary thinking. Colin Powell may have had a valid point about having between 40-70% of the info before a decision must be made, except how do you know what equals 70% and 40% when the information total may not be quantifiable?

Straight to the point and really useful !
Peter Hollins is not like every other authors telling the same thing all over again 50 times in a book. He goes straight to the point naming what you probably already know but have trouble understanding deeply. The methods are useful and easy to try.
