Product Description
A simple and tested system to reduce or eliminate procrastination, meet your goals and live the life and lifestyle you choose. A radical departure from self help books, this book is grounded in research about individual productivity, time management and goal achievement. The author explains in detail why past goal attainment efforts have failed. What follows is a step by step system to experiencing a better life.
The book presents a formula in both metaphor and steps for experiencing measurable results in income, personal competence, self confidence and core traits required for getting off the hamster wheel of life. Devoid completely of metaphysical thinking, this is an approach for real people in the real world that want to have a better life.
Ultimately, the system and original methods are developed from the most current scientific research in goal achievement, productivity, motivation and procrastination. Always easy to understand and apply, this book is for the person who has tried many ways or strategies to achieve some result in life only to be turned away. The book offers a new and unique approach to living.

 Does not deliver. March 4, 2010

With all due respect to Mr Hogan, this is no scientifically based rethinking of productivity principles. I found little of value in the pages of this work. Perhaps there is a market for such generalizations, but I can sum up for you if you would like: Set short term goals, carry them out, repeat.
With so many other really quite profound works on productivity, this one just falls short.

This book is by far one of the best, if not the best for cutting through all the day to day excuses that holds one back. It really hit home with me, I mean it was like Kevin sat down at the Coffee table with me and got right to the point. For me, looking foward into the future, I see this book helping me achive so much more then I dreamed of. Thanks Kevin

Self-help, personal development, and time management books are replete with "if you can dream it you can do it" platitudes. Kevin Hogan's 168-Hour Week is the first book I've read that gets to the heart as to why people are successful and why they aren't and why simply doing what successful people do isn't necessarily a recipe for everyone to be equally successful. Kevin's practical, no-nonsense, no B.S presentation of a specific method of how to live life your way is a gem and one that I believe is applicable to my life. If you read only one chapter in this book, read Chapter Seven if you really want to find out to transform your life and what it will truly take to get you where you want to go in life.
This is the fourth book of Kevin Hogan's I have purchased and he continues to impress me with the depth and breadth of his knowledge and ability to help me transform that knowledge into action. His writing voice is like a lighthouse cutting through the fog of ethereal vagaries of the traditional "dream on a deadline" drivel that has actually hindered more people than it has helped. Kudos to Kevin Hogan on a book that is the first and last word on living life your way.

The 168 Hour Week: Living Life Your Way 24/7 offers a system to beat procrastination and meet goals and comes from a personal development leader who blends research with hundreds of coaching experiences to teach something different about achievement and time management. His 'life plan' is based on thousands of international studies and is key to not just business goals, but life goals in general, making it a pick for business and general libraries alike.

I had a really hard time deciding how to rate this book. If I could have rated just the content, I would give this book 5 stars. But the fact that it is written so poorly; an unreadable mish mosh of amateurish typesetting, poor grammar, muddled syntax and total disregard for the rules of punctuation I had to give it just the one star. A book is more than just it's content; just as important is it's style (as in The Elements of Style (Original Edition) by Strunk and White). I couldn't get past the poor writing style to give Kevin the credit for his admirable content.
