Features: This book proposes a completely different approach to time management, one centered on principles, which goes beyond the traditional methods that emphasize speed, effort, and cleverness. It doesn’t give you another clock but a compass—because direction is more important than speed. The book is divided into four parts: Clock and Compass, The Main Issue Is Putting First Things First, Synergy Through Interdependence, and The Power and Peace of a Principle-Centered Life. In one sense, this approach is entirely new; in another sense, it is ancient and deeply rooted in timeless classics. It stands in stark contrast to the current time management philosophies and "success" literature that promote quick fixes and effortless methods. We live in a modern society that loves shortcuts, yet shortcuts cannot create quality of life.
