Stabilire le priorità, delegare le mansioni, chiarire i propri obiettivi, diluire gli impegni, portare a termine le cose fondamentali, buttare nel cestino quelle che non lo sono: sono queste le strade che portano al successo, che voi siate studenti o manager, informatici o semplicemente persone con molti e diversi interessi. Questo libro vi offre gli strumenti per realizzare di più in minor tempo, permettendovi di riprendere il controllo della vostra vita: è infatti possibile affrontare tutti gli impegni senza ansia, tramite il GTD, Getting Things Done, un metodo di gestione del tempo che è oggi sinonimo di miglior efficienza e organizzazione personale.
GTD è l'acronimo di Getting Things Done, una sigla nota a tutti coloro che hanno già migliorato la loro vita con il programma di David Allen. Nel corso degli anni "Detto, fatto!" è diventato il manuale di riferimento per affrontare ogni tipo di impegno – lavoro, studio, intensa vita personale – in modo rapido ed efficace, e ha generato un'intera cultura di siti web, strumenti organizzativi, seminari e seguaci entusiasti. Ognuno di noi si scontra ogni giorno con l'impossibilità di fare tutto e con l'inevitabile rischio di trascurare le cose importanti o di prendere le decisioni sbagliate. Il metodo del mago della produttività personale ci insegna a raggiungere un obiettivo straordinario: aumentare la nostra capacità di organizzarci e diminuire l'ansia. L'efficienza, spiega Allen, è infatti direttamente proporzionale alla calma e alla lucidità con cui affrontiamo i problemi: solo con una mente sgombra i pensieri possono essere sistematici e la creatività può generare risultati. Passo dopo passo, il libro offre tutti gli strumenti per imparare a raccogliere le informazioni, esaminarle, organizzarle e verificarle per riuscire a gestire ogni impegno, portare a termine le cose fondamentali e… lasciar andare tutto ciò che non è prioritario. L'importante è capire che rallentare con intelligenza significa realizzare più cose in minor tempo, e soprattutto riprendere il controllo della propria vita.

Focusing on the often-overlooked middle-class drinkers, this book challenges conventional views on alcoholism, emphasizing that many who struggle with alcohol are not stereotypical addicts but rather "Sophisticated Alcoholics" who recognize their excessive drinking. It advocates for a transformative resolution rather than a cure, suggesting that lasting change comes from addressing underlying issues rather than merely treating alcohol use as a disease. The author's personal journey illustrates that individuals can redefine their relationship with alcohol, making it less significant in their lives.
Stanislavski was the first person to develop a cogent and practical system of acting. Throughout his life he sought the answers to such fundamental questions as: "What is great acting?" and "How can you find inspiration in every performance?" Stanislavski remains the most important influence on actor training today, and yet many of his ideas are little known, or even misunderstood. Stanislavski For Beginners charts the development of the Stanislavski system. It includes a clear exposition of the key elements of the system and explores his Method of Physical Actions, which he worked on in the years before his death, and which he called “the result of my whole life’s work.”
