Publisher Description

As the world gets smaller and faster, perhaps the most common lament is that there just isn't enough time to do the things that you want to do. There's not enough time to spend with your family. There is not enough time to be with your friends. There is not enough time to do your job properly. In What Matters Most, Hyrum Smith, a time management specialist, offers a most timely and urgently needed plan to help people determine what matters most, and how to live your life according to those priorities.

What Matters Most, with a foreword by Ken Blanchard, gives readers a real plan of action for living a happier and fuller life. The book calls for a simple plan of "Discover, Plan, and Act"—discover what matters most, plan what matters most, and act on what matters most.

What Matters Most is a timely and engaging plan to help many through their difficulties.

"This book is really helping me think through and identify what my real values are in life. It is interesting how we quickly forget or loose focus on what means the most to us in life. I am reading this for my Franklin Coaching sessions. Very inspiring "

Quotes

  • “If you really want to take control of your life and do more of what is really meaningful to you, then read this book written by one of the true masters!”

    — Jack Canfield, coauthor of Chicken Soup for the Soul
  • “If you care about what really matters, read this book. Thoughtful and beautifully written. An enormous contribution to ethics, integrity, and the renewal of character.”

    — Richard Carlson, author of Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff … and It’s All Small Stuff
  • “Hero stories of visionary people like Churchill and Nelson Mandela are smoothly written and add a wonderful texture to what could be a preachy lesson on responsibility. The author adds some of his own hero stories, which he tells with humility and a focus on what he learned from each experience. The richness of his thinking and the outstanding use of programming variety make this an exceptionally enjoyable program.”
