I love this book. I read it not long after it came out. The authors newsletter can be found on his website (Oliver burkeman), is also a great read.
I love the basic productivity advice that I believe comes from Jung that he quotes, which is basically, figure out something worthwhile to do, go do it and then figure out the next worthwhile thing to do, complete forever. Something simple about that.
Jung points out that this is also a natural way of being, in that sense you are living from your true sense of self as you are deciding what is important moment to moment and actually living your life, rather than trying to make it fit some predetermined idea of what you think it should be.
I'm trying to get more into this mode of thinking / being.
