Serendipity often brings you to the important books. Recently I heard myself say to a friend: ''I'm far too busy to do some of the important stuff''. It pulled me up short: there was definitely something wrong here - and then I had the opportunity to listen to an audio download of ''Busy'' and I knew that it was something I ''had'' to do and take notice of if I was to stop going ''backwards''. Because that was what I was doing.
If this book appeals to you then we know that you'll get a lot out of [[Decisive: How to Make Better Decisions in Life and Work by Chip Heath and Dan Heath]].
