Productivity for the Depressive Polymath edition by Brennen Reece Religion Spirituality eBooks
There's a lot to love about this book, almost everything. I mean that literally; its length, its use of space, its focus, its lack of, as Brennen refers to it, "Pseudonymous anecdotes from management pedagogy" ...just literally almost everything.I want to discuss my two favorite lines in the book, one at the beginning and one at the end:
"If you feel you haven't gotten your money's worth from the amount of text I've provided, please read this book again."
"You don't learn anything from doing something right the first time."
Personally I feel this book is, for me, priceless. It is priceless for that very reason: I feel this book is for me. Finally. Not a book to change me, although it has, profoundly. "Getting Things Done" by David Allen sets out to change me: it says "Hey, Square Peg...let me round out your edges so you can fit in this round hole you're trying to get through."
And that's a good thing it does that. But it's failed me so many times, and failure feels uncomfortable. Familiar, but uncomfortable.
That's not what Brennen's book is.
Brennen's book is a shady guy in an alley who whispers at you when you walk by.
"Psst, hey, kid...yeah, you...come here, I wanna show you something."
And your curiosity responds,"Well it can't be worse than that sushi you just ate, so..."
And you disappear down the dark alley. And you find yourself. Or other you's. A whole bunch of different people and then the shady guy struts over and says "Forget that round hole anyway. Here? Here we're all square pegs, Man."
And it's finally okay to be a square peg and it's okay to fail and screw up and learn up, like you're stumbling head over heels up a staircase. Which isn't easy. Or fun. And hurts like hell. But we do it anyway because we're all like "How else would you get up this flight of stairs?"
And that's an amazing feeling to be left with after you've read a book. After you've read this book.
And I'm about to read it again. And then again. Until I can spit it out like poetry.

Productivity for the Depressive Polymath edition by Brennen Reece Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
A good book, practical, useful, to the point. More books should be written this way. I would rate the book higher if it lacked the brute profanity, it also has strong anti christian sentiment and ideals. Certainly the authors choice, but readers should be aware.
Down to earth and right to the point. I finished up this book in a weekend and it was totally worth my time.
Really thoughtful and insightful! I love the way it's written. This book made me feel really good after reading it, and I think it really sets up the mind on a better track of thinking. I really love the part about the scotch where he talks about trying new things even if you have to force yourself. 5 stars!
Before reading any further, you should be aware that I know the author quite well, although not biblically. I concur with another reviewer who thinks more books like this should be written. Brennen is clear and concise and I had a good experience while reading his book. His advice on practice is applicable to more than just musical instruments. I also appreciate its brevity. Indeed, after reading it this morning, I had a great and productive rest of the day. My wife liked the book also.
What more can you ask? A glass of whiskey provided by the author? Yes, I will ask for that.
I read this book before and after it was published, and several times since then. It is genuinely worth a few reads. It takes very little time to get through because Brennen's writing is precise and economical in a way which doesn't make you feel cheated of its lasting impact. He is insightful and forthright, pulling no punches with his advice. He has clearly spent effort testing his theories and you can trust his practices have produced results in his own life, but this is not a step-by-step guide. It is a new way of thinking; it is a perspective not often explored or delivered quite so unequivocally. He tells you right in the title what he is, and how this system has worked for him. Let it open your mind to a new way of thinking—it can work for you as well.
