Synopsis "Scary Fast: 7 Advanced Hacks to Boost Your Productivity 1,000x (in English)"
Scary Fast is like a 201 course in Productivity. It assumes that you've already taken a (metaphorical) Productivity 101 class (and passed?) and now you're ready to take things to the next level. It covers the more 'advanced' stuff. The stuff your mom didn't tell you about because she didn't know. -- WARNING: You are either going to love or hate this book. Scary Fast has now been read by thousands of people. And of those thousands, a portion have felt moved in their hearts to make a public comment on the value of said book. The response so far has been (appropriately) split about 80 / 20. 80% of readers are saying things like, and I quote: "Valuable" "Highly recommend!" "couldn't set it down" "Fresh Ideas" "POWERFUL!!!" The other 20% of readers really, really, really don't like Scary Fast. Their comments include such gems as, (and again I quote): "not really that practical" "book is a complete waste of time" (all quotes from public Amazon Reviews in the U.S., Canada, and U.K.) -- Love it or hate it, Scary Fast will prompt some kind of reaction inside of you. Where will you fall? You have about an 80% chance of loving this book and finding it useful. And if you'd like to land on the 'love' side, here is a few things to remember: 1. This book has a lot of stories in it. That's supposed to make it fun, despite the fact that: 2. This is a book about ADVANCED productivity principles. Yes, there are 13 basics that are breezed over in the beginning as a helpful review, but the rest of it is going to be somewhat challenging, and either expand your mind or frustrate you (because your mind will reject them as useless, for personal reasons that I won't comment on). 3. And thirdly, or finally, it's only about 95% serious (which, honestly, is like 55% more serious than the other books I've written, so...perspective). In the end I hope that you will love Scary Fast, but if not, I 100% understand and won't judge. - Brian Michael Stegner (the guy who wrote this book) -- And now, a word from some people who know me personally: Brian's easily the most efficient person I've ever met...I've seen him solve problems with quick, creative solutions nearly as many times as I've seen him meditate on something for a couple of days and come back with a brilliant plan to optimize workflow.
