It is really a series of essays, some very tightly focused on tips 'n tricks, the others more philosophical. For example, one chapter talks about the virtue of putting everything you need "in front of the door", both metaphorically and literally, so that you can't forget it when you are tired and heading out. A more philosophical point is the chapter "The value of a future goal is the present change it fosters." For me, the book is not a sit-down read. I like to browse it and reflect, a bit at a time. Some books are like that. Not "Feast of Crows" though. You can't dabble in that book. “Ready for Anything” is pretty good, not as revolutionary for me as GTD was.

Wonderful. But it sure took a while. I feel like I have to re-read the other books in the series to refresh my memory on all the characters and various plot-lines. Before reading those I would have gasped at 1000+ page books, but once you get into them you wish they were even longer! Also, have you started reading "Ready for Anything" yet? I enjoyed "Getting Things Done" and am still trying to fully integrate his philosophy in my life. But it all makes sense. I'd like to hear how this new book sounds.
