I had the best time flipping through this book. It is a collection of 2-5 page articles about how to do all sorts of things faster and more efficiently, from teaching your dog to sit to the correct way to iron a pair of pants to making yourself memorable to others . My favorite was a tie between the one on how to do mental math more quickly and the article on how to make yourself get up out of bed in the morning.
All of the articles are written by experts on their topic, and the book includes a brief biography of each of the authors. Some names you will recognize (Colin Cowie, Laura Mercier), others haven't published before. You won't be surprised at all of the advice -- odds are you heard some of it from your mom -- but there are some new ideas tucked in here, and the short little chapters make it easy to flip around to the topics that interest you. I was amazed (and sometimes delighted) that someone had put that much thought into some of these topics (how to make someone feel good, how to chop vegetables). Definitely a fun way to spend a couple of hours.
