Book Description
In the Simplicity Survival Handbook: 32 Ways To Do Less and Accomplish More, Bill Jensen, author of the best-selling Simplicity, offers step-by-step techniques to running your business more successfully and getting more accomplished in a shorter amount of time. In today's extremely fast-paced world, Jensen's user-friendly-and often hilarious-survival guide is an indispensable guide to workplace survival.
In a world of more-better-faster, the challenges and stresses in the workplace have never been greater. The new rules seem to be too much to do and not enough time. Time is at a premium and the pace is always increasing. And in an economy where worker talent (things like know-how, energy, attention, commitment, and creativity) is at a premium, everyone is trying to maximize personal productivity.
In The Simplicity Survival Handbook, Jensen offers the antidote you're seeking: a practical guide to doing less in a world of more. He also demonstrates how to make your time count. A few of the daily struggles that Jensen addresses include how to:
* Deal with Bosses Who Don't Get It
* Delete 75% of Your Emails
* Clarify Your Goals More Quickly
* Decide: Stay or Go
From "How to Write Shorter Emails for Better Results" to "How to Use Your Mentor to Help You Do Less," Jensen offers proven strategies for communicating more effectively, setting priorities, and balancing the competing demands on your time, while avoiding the time-sinkers. He also takes on corporate foolishness, walking you through how to be more productive and take greater control of your workday and, by extension, your life. The Simplicity Survival Handbook is an indispensable tool for anyone struggling to succeed in today's take-no-prisoners business climate.

Excellent Book to save time.......2006-12-23
This is a must read for anyone who uses a computer for their work. The book suggests the reader skip to the summary in the back and save even more time by not reading the book - great idea. Since what Bill Jensen has to say can be said in so few words because he know what he wants to say, how he feels about it and what he wants the read to do.
Read it or at least the summary; then just hand it to a co-worked, family member or anyone you just want to help out.
I have deleted more e-mails without opening them then ever in my life. Since I read this book it has handed back hours a day to me that I was wasting on work and e-mails.
The original "Simplicity" is a must-read companion.......2005-09-26
Bill Jensen's ideas and tactics have crystallized my ability to be effective. I read "The Simplicity Survival Handbook" before reading Jensen's original "Simplicity", and for me, "Simplicity" is superior because (1) it explains the rationale behind Jensen's ideas and (2) offers invaluable guidance on effective presentations. "The Simplicity Survival Handbook" 's examples were not as helpful to me as the initial wisdom and suggestions in "Simplicity". Read them both!
WOW! Buckle your Seat Belts. .......2005-05-13
What I like about this biz book:
1) Its fun and challenging "If your boss doesn't get it, and has a high likelihood of never getting it... time to say "goodbye". Pretty simple right?
2) Attitude of "You don't have to be a victim of corporate crap"... reminds me of a refrain I have heard from my husband when he talks about his day job "They can't even run their own life, I will be damned it they run mine"
3) Respect yourself more. Your time is valuable. Push back.
4) The complexity starts from within. From within my own company, within myself.
The How To Section(s)
Email
Scan incoming subject and author, if not relevant hit "delete"
Scan email for 1) action to take 2) deadline date.
In sending messages use the 3"x5" space constaint.
If it is simplier it is more likely to be done. Make it easy.
Remember the key: what do you want them to know, feel and do!
Presentations:
Turn the one point you want people to know into a question. Provoke conversations. Give everyone handouts. Use of Stories is a good thing.
1 hour presentation = 20 slides MAX!
Meetings Big Idea!! When you agree to chair a meeting approachit as if you have just been handed a portion of someones life. Because you have. Run a meeting like one that you wish you had been invited for.
Helpful hints 1) get only the important people 2) get the right people 3) define what success looks like 4) Mentally see the successful meeting 5) Put the objective of the meeting up front
6) Be passionate about the people and reason of the meeting.
Fix my job......please!.......2004-05-15
With a title like this, Jensen's book should be flying off the shelf. I know it caught my eye when I first saw it. We all want to "do" less and "accomplish" more and there are some excellent ideas in this book to help you do just that.
Nothing in this book is easy, though. Someone as inclined to follow the rules like myself will find it difficult, if not impossible, to implement the more demanding recommendations. This is a shame, as these people are those who would probably benefit the most.
Even if you don't think of yourself as a rabble-rouser, you should still read this book and take heart that there are some possible methods of extracting yourself from business situations that leave you feeling busy, but not very productive. There are ways of escaping the bureaucracy and yet keep your job.
The cutest, yet still effective, idea in the book is the "Less-O-Meter" associated with each chapter. These graphical gauges give you an "at a glance" reading on how much Courage you will need to put this tip in place, how difficult it can be and the possible yield to your productivity and happiness.
You may be ready to take on your whole company and engage in full-scale "pushback", but implementing even one idea from this book could do a world of good for you, your job and your career, while helping your company, as well.
Excellent Book.......2004-04-03
I think this book is the best book ever written for dealing with the business world today. I feel like it was written for me. I wish I had access to this book 5 years ago, I could have used it.
Thank you for your contributions for helping to make a healthier more informed work environment and employee for those who take a long time to get there.

Nuts and Bolts, not just Pie-in-the-Sky.......2007-06-29
I have been looking for something like this book for the ten years of my teaching career. Finally, there is a ready-to-implement system that combines recent brain research, psychology, and logical consequences into a classroom management system that not only produces a measurable improvement in behavior, but increases motivation for learning and responsibility. Marvin Marshall knows how to relate to children of all ages (and adults, too). I'm giving up my token economies and classroom prizes in favor of this system, which sends out students into the world to become productive, successful workers, family leaders, and citizens. This book will walk you step-by-step through the simple system which requires little to no record-keeping. Hooray!
Discipline in the Classroom Without Punishment or Rewards.......2007-01-23
This book is an excellent resource for new teachers and seasoned teachers
as well, who are struggling with the issues of discipline in their
classrooms. It shows how the old system of punishment and rewards does
not achieve good results and how it can be replaced with a system of
instilling personal responsibility and love of learning in students. I
like the way the book gives specific ways that teachers can do this.
This book should be a "must read" in schools of education, and could
revolutionize American education and society.
.So far, so interesting.......2005-08-23
I love the philospohy behind this book, but Dr. Marshall goes one step further and adds the golden element of classroom testing. When he tells me I will need to use a particular strategy with about 2 % of my students, I feel confidence that this material has truly been tested in real situations. Part of the problem with many discipline programs that aim to address classroom management without rewards, tokens, and such is they often talk down to teachers for using token systems, but offer only theories and clinical data as proof without workable ideas for in the classroom. I am trying out Dr. Marshall's program and will see how far it takes me, but after the first two introductory lessons on the ABCD heirarchy, this weird quiet settled into my room, like the idea of democracy had just sunk into my students heads. Very heady stuff.
No More Class Store or Missed Recess.......2005-08-20
I purchased this book after an extremely challenging year of behavior problems in first grade. As a teacher who had previous success using rewards (giving plastic money that could be redeemed in a class store) and punishment (taking away recess time), this new class had so many problems that nothing seemed to work! During the summer, I read everything on behavior management I could find in preparation for my new third grade class and found this book while searching the web. Needless to say, this past year was the best year of teaching I've had in my short career of five years. Using the daily class meetings--the students' favorite part of the day--to solve problems and asking disruptive students to tell me "their level," I found that most problems went away quickly and students didn't get resentful of me because they had to reflect on how they were acting. Using the agenda for students to write down issues that bothered them was a great way to deal with tattling. I also linked the system with students who would forget homework. Rather than punish them, I would give them the Level 1 Essay to reflect on why they forgot their homework and what they could try so they could remember it. It worked! I also recommend buying "Positive Discipline in the Classroom" (Nelson) as a companion to this book if you want more step-by-step instructions for the classroom meeting. It picks up where Dr. Marshall's book leaves off regarding class meetings, especially on how to introduce it at the beginning of the year. One more thing: parents LOVE this system and will love you for using it!
A Civilized Alternative.......2005-08-05
Marshall makes a compelling case for giving children tools to evaluate their own behavioral options and make positive choices. I am looking forward to empowering my kindergarteners to be their best selves.
The book is very readable and the content is practical. I can see that I will be referring to it again and again.
Customer Reviews:
Highly rated.......2006-12-12
I am normally a very logical, rational person. Fear of flying is defintely an irrational fear. I relaxed with this book, would bring it on flights with me. In fact the last flight I took was so relaxing that I left the book on the plane! If you happen to see it on an Air Canada plane, hope you can use it!
This book brought me relief!.......2004-01-23
I had never had a fear of flying until about five years ago. A bunch of occurrances...forgetting my husband't suit for a wedding (and having to run back home, and back to the airport with three minutes to spare), 9/11, a few very turbulent flights, being tired and dehydrated (which made me ill) before getting on a plane all added up to a paralyzing fear. Not only did I have a more than subconscious fear of a plane going down, I had a fear of forgetting something important, and of getting sick. The getting sick (yes, throwing up...a lot) was a vicious cycle, because I'd be nervous about getting sick on a flight, and I'd get so nervous that the nerves made me sick! I was a mess and my life was controlled by a fear of flying. If I had a flight planned, I'd wake up terrified (and ill) in the middle of the night with uncontrollable anxiety weeks before the flight. Just the thought of getting on a plane sent me into an emotional and physical tailspin (pardon the pun). I too, knew that it was irrational, but the fear was so viceral and so out of my control, I finally sought help. A therapist suggested that the anxiety and subsequent vomitting was due to an overdose of adrenaline, and that is about all the help she could offer. I bought this book after reading the other reviews on line. I read it in a day, and over the next three flights I took after reading it, each flight became easier and easier. The last flight I took I genuinely enjoyed and I didn't need to take any anti-anxiety medicine. The book teaches you that the noises you hear a plane make are the noises it *should* be making. I always used to fear that the planes engines were failing upon ascent because you could hear them "loose power." I had no idea the pilots had that much control over the engines and that sometimes, for example, they just need to slow down the planes to comply with neighborhood noise ordinances! The book teaches you about weather conditions, and turbulance, and how planes and pilots have astounding abilities to handle them both. Sure, I still might sometimes (only sometimes) get a little jittery before a flight, but I feel that, like anything else, fear stems from the unknown, and when I educated myself on how planes work and how flying works, my fear went away. This book really, really made a huge difference in my life.
Knuckles No Longer White.......2001-10-05
Having experienced an aborted take off, a collision whilst taxiing and a drop in altitude which left a stewardess in tears, I feel I'm well equipped to comment on this book.
I'm a 34 year old balanced/sensible male who for some bizarre reason conjures up terrible nightmares before each flight, dwells on them and then allows fear to breed fear - almost to the point of not travelling.
I've tried all sorts - pills, alcohol,more alcohol, but to no avail. Until buying this book I couldn't talk, eat or begin to relax on a plane - even whilst cruising. I used to spend the entire flight waiting for the engines to fail or imagining the pilots were dealing with some sort of emergency (whilst we sat in our seats, oblivious to our imminent demise).
I also knew my fear was irrational, but that made it worse - I felt totally isolated in my own private hell and as there was nothing to do on the plane (or nothing I could do) I let my imagination run riot.
Anyway, to get to the point, something had to be done. I bought this book and it gave me exactly what I wanted - reasons why things go 'bump in the flight', reassurance on the safety/maintainance aspects (I'm no longer waiting for the plane to drop out of the sky. I mean, do people worry about a car just stopping on the motorway - and that's only got one engine!)
I no longer watch the stewardesses and assume that if they're not smiling the planes about to crash. I'm amazed I thought that way now.
Unlike other phobics (and a couple of the reviewers that critisized this book) I've always known there isn't a magic cure
and I'm the one whose got to change the way I think about flying.
I've had to go from knowing it's irrational, but feeling petrified, to knowing it's irrational and actually believing it's the safest form of transport.
I'm not there yet, but I'm slowly winning. In fact on three of my last four flights I've been able to eat and talk !!
Many thanks Debbie - your book was money well spent.
Not a Whole Lotta Help.......2001-04-03
Although not an uninteresting exploration of many of the aspects of flying, this book does not seem likely to truly alleviate many of the fears of the uncertain flier. It is one thing to understand the mechanics of flying, but quite another to get detailed descriptions of emergency procedures when something goes wrong. Those of us who suffer or have suffered bouts of unnecessary white-knuckled flying want to know how the plane stays in the air, why it is unlikely that something will go wrong and what all those noises and sensations are that may set us off. We also want to know what is going on in the cockpit during a normal flight, since most of us realize that once we've landed, we've once again experienced a normal flight...There are much better books than this one if you want to conquer any fear of flying....END
Very Poor Reasurances.......2000-10-31
The reviews about this book were so great that I decided to get it and I was very disappointed.Debbie Seaman explains all the mechanics of the plain which is helpfull but when it comes to explaining the take-off or emergency landings she becomes very vague. She talk about take-off as one of the crucial parts of flying. She says that even if there is something wrong found with the plain during take-off it still must reach the altitude before asking for emergency landing, now, that does not give me any assuarance of safety. Also, flight attendants are not suppose to contact the pilot during take of if they see something wrong with the plain. Another part of the book that kept me hanging with the questions in the air was the emergency landing. The author just says not to worry, the plane will land even without any power in the engins.Well that does not explain to me how it will land. Just because it supposed to glide in the air? To my knowledge the plane glides but to its death. This book created more fears for me than I had before.

Customer Reviews:
Great book with powerful and practical solutions to stress.......2007-02-08
This book begins with a brief account of the authors own experiences with many stressful situations and how she overcame them; which gave rise to the book. You may be thinking I am already under stress,why would I want to hear about anyone elses? I think this is an important part of understanding why her techniques are so believable and useful however. Reading the book is the first step, the next is actually putting the techniques into practice by incorporating them into your life. Luckily they are simple, even though they are powerfully effective. Although this book is several years old now, I would definately say that the wisdom contained within is still very timely and appropriate.
Excellent Book.......2005-07-06
This is an incredible text. I used it to prepare for a seminar on the topic. After reading 10 similar books, I rate this one the best.
This book will change one's life........1998-03-19
Wow! This book is simply a must-read. It is chock-full of excellent tactics, ideas, and strategies for changing one's life by learning to cope with the complexities of daily living. Leyden-Rubenstein lays out an extensive body of scientific knowledge about stress and its effects on health in a clear, direct and highly readable way, but this book offers much, much more. She intertwines this scientifically-based information to support a spiritual approach to living, focusing on self-knowledge, understanding ,and compassion. Her thesis for living is quite remarkable, and the questions raised and tactics posed are quite palatable even for recovering Catholics, like me. I recommend purchasing the meditation tape that is offered with the book to get a good start on the path to better, more peaceful living.

Book Description
One in four families in the U.S. is caring for parents or other senior relatives-and 72% of the primary caregivers in these families are women. This book is written for those 16 million women who are part of the "sandwich generation"-caught between the needs of their elderly relatives and their young families. These women often feel invisible, their own needs unobserved and unappreciated by those around them.
The Caregiver's Survival Handbook not only offers practical caregiving advice for these women, but also helps them deal with the emotional concerns they face:
€ Dealing with changing parent/child roles
€ Fostering aging parents' independence
€ Asking for, and getting, help from siblings and other family members
€ Balancing work, family, and caregiving duties
€ Finding time for themselves in the middle of it all
Customer Reviews:
THE BEST book on Caregiving I've ever read!.......2004-08-19
This book in superb. Having an ailing parent, I turned to this book for the helpful tips discussed on the jacket cover. But it was so much more than that....it made me feel understood. The plain-speak and thoughtfulness in the text made the goal of caregiving seem much more attainable....and less overwhelming. The stories and examples of others in a caregiving capacity helped me to feel not alone. I strongly recommend this book, whether you yourself are a caregiver or not, it is a must read book of the year.
Finally great advice for caring for an aging parent.......2004-08-09
The Caregiver's Survival Handbook is a great resource for me in caring for an aging father. The book has given me great ideas on how to plan for his healthcare and his general well being while allowing me to care for my own family. This is the first book I have found that addresses these issues in such a positive way.

Customer Reviews:
Good book.......2007-08-01
I am a Master's Level clinician working on my doctorate in clinical psychology. This book is not as great as its 1985 predecessor. In that previous edition, there were more relaxation scripts that were excellent to use personally and with clients/patients. This edition acts more like a reference book as well as an advertisement for the author's website (which incidentally did not have much on it that was helpful for me). I did like some of the suggestions regarding the use of technology and how it can cause stress or reduce it by the way it is used.
Easy to read, helpful, informative.......2005-08-27
First of all, this book is very reader-friendly. It doesn't torture you with medical wicky wacky jargons. At the same time, the author doesn't treat you like a baby. He gives it to you straight and clear.
The book talks about different types of relaxation techniques to unnerve your mind and body, gives the descriptions of major stressors in lives and how to handle them, etc...
This book is great read and actually practicing the skills that the author describes make it even better.
Excellent and time tested information! .......2005-08-07
Well worth the money!
Stress reduction tips, assertiveness information, relaxation, guided imagery; this book is packed with excellent tips and information. Although written several years ago, I continue to use the information and to recommend this book again and again.
"Comprehensive" is the word.......2002-04-04
This is a superb and, as the book's subtitle implies, a comprehensive compendium of stress management tools and information. I have been using this book since the mid-80's, both to benefit me personally as well as to use as a basis for inservices I have provided for the staff I have supervised in a stressful hospital environment. It is quite logical in its format, proceeding from the tertiary to the secondary to the primary levels of prevention, in that order. It first shows the reader how to cope with sources of stress when they occur, first by regulating our physiological, then our cognitive responses to stressful events; this is the tertiary level. It then shows us how to take some control over our environment in order to lessen the frequency of stressful events occuring; this is the secondary level. Finally, it presents some ideas for general well-being, which could be called the primary level of prevention. It as much as says that if our minds and bodies are in the right place, then nothing will faze us. Overall a superb book that I cannot recommend too highly.
Wow! Read it or else!.......1998-09-26
If you only read one book about stress, this isn't it. But it's good for the price and I learned quite a bit about myself...mostly stuff i didn't want to know!
Book Description
This straightforward handbook by Mike Flynn and Doug Gregg shows how God can set a new course for our lives and provides us all the tools necessary to embark on a journey of inner healing. Writing from a biblical perspective which seeks to correct common myths and misunderstandings about this vital ministry, Flynn and Gregg's work will be valued both by those who want to help their hurting friends and neighbors and by those who are seeking healing in their own lives.
Customer Reviews:
Good foundation for prayer ministries.......2007-05-25
Wonderful. Very detailed and with balanced views. Lays a good scriptural foundation. Goes into detail on the how-tos of inner healing and forgiveness with not only biblical examples, but their own mistakes to avoid. Get it.
Life Transforming Book.......2006-06-07
Our church has used this book to train our prayer ministry to pray for inner healing, and has seen God move in many people's lives. I appreciate the down-to-earth practical approach and support through scripture.
