Any additional comments?
Death by Meeting is an education yet engaging fictional story wrapped around timeless business principles. After reading "The Advantage," by Patrick Lencioni, I had to purchase this book to learn more about the principles surrounding meetings. The book was read clearly with high energy. My only complaint? It was too short.

Just like you, I struggle with procrastinating. so I chose to use one of my credits to get an audio book to hopefully kick the habit.
After listening to a few samples and reading reviews, this seemed to be a good choice. I began listening immediately, and I could hardly "put it down."
It is well written, the narrator does a great job at bringing it to life, and the information is practical yet educational.
I have finished the book, and I think I am doing a better job at getting stuff done. Although, I am pretty sure I am procrastinating by writing this review. Enjoy!

All In was incredibly easy to listen to, and it provided many clear examples. I am walking away feeling motivated, and wishing there were more..
