I have notes on nearly every page. This book joins the new wave of modern leadership work we've seen by the likes of Simon Sinek, etc. who are looking at leadership through the windshield rather than the rear-view mirror. The authors, Hagemann, Vetter, and Maketa interweave stories, stats, and steps to creating a more unified and focused vision (the only way to lead in the very, very near future). In the end, I found it to be 200+ useful and highly readable pages - and I'm already busy figuring out how to translate ideas into action. Strong recommendation for anyone in a current leadership position, or those looking for the path.

I was initially reluctant to buy this book because almost 700 pages seemed like overkill to me, but I'm glad I did. Most publishers provide "Bonus Chapters" about XSLT and XPath, but this book provides the kind of detailed coverage needed to accomplish real world tasks.

The book is well laid out with colorful pictures and tons of useful information. I'm sure I will refer to it often.

This book has become an indispensable reference guide when I write. It is written in a manual/workbook format with tabs for quick reference.  It is clearly organized and endlessly useful; each chapter has:
 - a brief overview of the topic/writing project
 - strategies for execution (including rhetorical context and device)
 - steps and process tips
 - checklists and conceptually illustrative charts
 - excellent examples
 - classroom exercises

The book is organized into two sections, Basic Tools (featuring format, style, and editing issues) and Professional Applications (featuring specific kinds of technical writing like reports, proposals, executive summaries, etc).  The book includes a useful glossary and additional online resources.

The formatting is excellent: attractive, "scannable", with clear visual hierarchies.  The pages look more like a website than a reference guide.

My copy is battered from over-use, highlighted, tagged, and cross-referenced.  Use it, you will love it.  I'm buying another copy so that I can have one at home and one at work.

The first thing that struck me about this planner was the size of it.  It's the size of a nice book!  This is great because the amount of information in it is much more than I anticipated and there is plenty of space for you to add your own notes.  As it advertises, every day is broken down into hours.  It has a section for notes, a separate section for training notes, an area for you to write what you're thankful for every day, as well as a motivational quote (which are not all from martial artists, which is cool).  It has short biographies of some of Sifu Balicki's instructors and has the birthdays of his instructor-level students.  This is so much more than a run-of-the-mill planner; it is a tool to organize your training life and get you closer to your goals.  It is well worth the money and you absolutely do not have the be a student of Sifu Balicki's to find it amazingly useful.  I think it is so cool to have a planner focused on martial arts.  I just hope he continues to put these out every year.

This is one of the most helpful and practical books on ADD I have ever read.  The descriptions of the effects of ADD are done in a clear and light-hearted manner.  I found myself nodding with a strong feeling of identification to many of the anecdotes.  There are wonderful suggestions on every page.  The book itself is ADD-friendly: organized for easy skipping around, lots of bold type for headings and important notes.  I particularly liked the hints on avoiding being overwhelmed when faced with a lot of organization to be done.  I've been able to put a number of suggestions into use immediately, with good results.

I've been looking for a planner along these lines for several months. I've really enjoyed the organization of the pages and how there are separate fields for goals, priorities, tasks, and scheduling. It was a little daunting at first to think about laying out my day so fully, but now that I've been doing it for awhile, it's the highlight of my evening.

I actually cut out the pages (and taped the edges to bind them) for a recent Pacific Coast drive.  I'm preparing to do another trip, this time to northern OR and eastern WA and will do the same.  Hmmm, maybe making this book so pages can be easily removed would be a great selling tool for future editions?

Packed full of lovely recipe from front-to-back! I was quite surprised how convenient many of them are to make. Most of the ingredients are easy to find, even for the more complex dishes, and the preparation time for cooking most of the meals really isn't that long at all. This has proven to be perfect for me after a busy day when I don't feel like spending too much effort getting everything ready. Im very happy and will be sharing the recipes Ive tried so far with some close friends.

Many doctors have recommended this book for me. I'm going to be busy for awhile.

When I first started reading, I found that I already knew much of the material--some of which I actually practiced. However, as I progressed into the book I found myself learning new methods of approaching code and new ways to apply old lessons. By the time I finished the book I found myself actively applying the techniques with renewed vigor and really enjoying writing code again.

Now that I've had a few months to let the advice sink in and use it on a couple projects and languages, I can safely say that I found the book on the whole to be an invaluable resource. I have integrated more of the material than I expected into my day-to-day coding practice, and I highly recommend it to my colleagues.

As a Psychotherapist who works with numerous busy parents, I've added Karen Murphy's book as a resource I often recommend to my clients. A quick read, this book is chock full of practical information that's easy to use as well as entertaining.  And while not a Working Parent myself, I've also found many tips that I can use as a busy professional trying to get better organized.  For a minimum investment you'll be rewarded tenfold with this handy guide.

As soon as I received this book, I read it from cover to cover in 24 hours. It's great work - really engaging and super-useful. I'm now looking forward to re-reading it more slowly! And there are tips in there I will put to use this same week.
