I read this book in 1996 and forgot how good it is. Rereading it now and recommend it to anyone who is looking to be a better manager of their time and life. This is the classic time managment book, forget Covey, he ripped his ideas off Hobbs. For about $.. (it is in paperback) you can save yourself a bundle. ...
2 A Life Changing Masterpiece!
This book should be required reading for every man, woman and child, and especially required for anyone interesting in improving themselves! Dr. Hobbs has an excellent system of time management to be sure, but the genius of his system is that it includes ALL areas of your life, not just in the work place. I stumbled upon this book in 1987 in the library. After reading the first few pages I immediately went out and purchased it and began marking it up. My wife did the same. I shared it at work and in my ministry. His system of understanding personal congruency and documenting Unifying Principles changed my life and has been used by me and loads of my friends for 14 years! It works! If you can get this book, GET IT.
3 Please reprint this book!
This is not your usual techniques and how to book. It's a philosophy of managing your life. I have found the core idea of Self-unification of behavior and principles and the logically deduced goals sequenced according to the Pyramid of Productivity and implemented with the Concentration of Power turbocharges goal achievment and self-esteem. The one reviewer is right. This is not a quick read. It's not dense or boring. Acutally, his breadth and his down to earth approach, makes it seem easy. I have one copy heavily marked up and I recommend that if you see it in a bookshop--buy it.
4 Excellent
Several years ago, I bought about a dozen books on time management and found this and Alan Lakien's books to be the best. Time Power is intense and required several months of part time effort for me to complete. It's truly unfortunate that Mr. Hobbs' book is now out of print. Charles pioneered modern time management theory and practice. All the current time management experts, trainers and consultants derive their core concepts and ideas from Charles Hobbs. This work is a bit out of step with current practices in that we increasingly moving away from paper based systems toward electronic time management products such as MS Outlook. On the other hand, the most important thoughts and ideas presented in this book are timeless. I recently began working with Tony Robbins' "Time of Your Life" CD program which is also quite good.
5 This book changed my life from ineffective to effective.
I found this book in a used book store in 1985. After reading it I immediately went about implementing the system defined by Dr. Hobbs. The results were amazing. I started to get high marks in university, I accomplished long term goals and increased my own self esteem.
I continue to follow this system today and I learn more and more about effective time management every year.
I recommend this book most highly to anyone interested in CONTINUOUS self improvement.
6 Probably the best, certainly the first.
Six or eight years before Covey's First Things, Hobbs put the pieces together: Integrated personal values as a basis for daily living. I came to this site because my copy is worn out from age and repeated reference. If you can find it, buy it.
7 The best integration of your life and time scheduling ever.
Time management tricks don't work. Dr. Hobbs takes who you are and puts you in control without any tricks - just reality. I already have two copies and have loaned them out to friends. They won't bring them back! That's why I am ordering a third copy. Covey is a child compared to Dr. Hobbs, and I like Covey!
8 Time Power was Covey before Covey was cool!
This is the "granddaddy" of Time Management books. If you liked Stephen Covey's "First Things First" or Hyrum Smith's "Ten Natural Laws of Time and Life Management," you'll love this... if you can find it. Good luck!
9 Helps you learn to manage time by learning to manage life.
By far the best time management program published in the last 25 years. Charles Hobbs' practical approach helps you put your own life in order before taking on the challenges of your company. Easy program to follow also available in an audio tape series.
10 "The Best System of Time Management Available to Date"
This was an incredible book and a great tool for anyone interested in real time management. So many books tell the why, but not many the how. This book not only told the how but motivated me to do it.
