Summary

Life is complicated enough. Yet many people go out of their way to create hoops to jump through, wrestling with tough problems and calling on the latest management fad to find that elusive solution to a problem. But it doesn't have to be that way. The best ideas aren't always complicated. The world is full of smart, experienced, skilled, brilliant people. However, many people - even smart ones - are lacking a set of essential skills that when pulled together can be termed 'common sense'. Simply Brilliant features a set of seven principles to make the bright better. Principles of common sense that can be adapted for attacking many of the problems that you encounter every day, be it in work or outside. For this new third edition, Simply Brilliant delivers a whole new section on Extreme Time Management. So that you can produce outstanding results without having to work all night. Sometimes the smart need the simple to be truly brilliant.
