Le secret de l'efficacité: very interesting and useful for the ones starting (and spreading themselves) on many projects and having a hard time to finish them... like me!!!Verdict: some parts are very interesting and others, well, read here and there, been there, done that. It touches most of the parts of my problems and it is simply written. The tone, for me, was very motivating. Overall, I liked it.
