Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity by David Allen

4.0

For a long time users of GTD, this new edition doesn't offer very much new. In fact, if you're truly familiar with GTD you'll recognize a lot of the phrases verbatim from things that David has written and said before. That said, this new edition is more forward-looking than the old, and the choice not to reference any specific technological tools makes it more timeless than the original. The chapter on psychology, cognition, and the brain is all new and very fascinating for people who enjoy pop psychology. I gained a few new books for my TBR list from that chapter. All told, the method is still as good as it always has been, so while this isn't a complete rewrite of the original (which it didn't need to be) it's still deserves its space on my e-shelf.
