"Within a few pages, Laura Vanderkam's crisp, entertaining book
convinced me I had time to read it. Then it convinced me I had time
to reread War and Peace. In the original Russian. Thank you, Laura,
for freeing up my schedule."
-Martha Beck, bestselling author of Steering by Starlight
"We so often live our lives day by day. Laura wants us to think
about doing it hour by hour. Living this mantra by example, she
gets more done in a day than most of us do in a week."
-Seth Godin, author of Linchpin
"168 Hours is filled with tips and tricks on how you can be more
efficient every day. By being more productive at work and home,
you'll create more free time to focus on the truly fulfilling
activities in your life, rather than the simply mundane."
-Laura Stack, author of Find More Time
"In 168 Hours, Vanderkam packs mounds of real-world case studies
and experience to substantiate her system-and I fully agree. You
can improve your mastery of time with this invaluable book."
-Dave Crenshaw, author of Invaluable and founder of Invaluable,
Inc.
"168 Hours should be an eye-opener for every one of us who leads a
busy, hectic life. Reading it made me appreciate how much 'true'
amount of time I really have and how to use it wisely and optimally
to boost productivity, efficiency, and joy."
-Sonja Lyubomirsky, author of The How of Happiness
"Laura Vanderkam shows us how to use our only real wealth-our 168
hours a week- to make our lives richer, not busier. That's a
wonderful gift, because it's what genuine success is all
about."
-Geoff Colvin, author of Talent Is Overrated
"Laura Vanderkam's fluid style and perceptive eye are just the
right tools to help create the life of your intentions. 168 Hours
is the antidote to 'living for the weekend.'"
-Marc and Amy Vachon, authors of Equally Shared Parenting
"This book is a reality check that leads any reader to say, 'I do
have time for what is important to me.' Full of real life examples,
Laura Vanderkam teaches how to pack what matters most into both
your work and home life. A must read if you are looking for
life-changing strategies to make your next minute, hour or 168
Hours more meaningful."
-Jones Loflin and Todd Musig, Co-authors of Juggling Elephants
"We predict that 168 Hours will fly off the shelves and into the
hands of anyone who has ever uttered the words: 'I'm SO busy!' or
'If only I had more time!' Vanderkam's approach is incredibly
powerful and resonant given the average American watches 4 hours of
television. A day!"
-Cali Ressler and Jody Thompson, Co-Creators of Results-Only Work
Environment (ROWE) and Co-Authors of Why Work Sucks and How to Fix
It
