Getting Out from Under: Redefining Your Priorities in an Overwhelming World

"I first came across Getting Out From Under on audio cassette and discovered an interesting approach to unravelling the layers of life. It has good advice on time management and in some ways is more useful if you have children/partner conflicts of time. What I liked best is her 'solar system' practical exercises that enable you to get to the heart of what is really personally important in life and what is just self-imposed static. In some ways I found the audio cassette better because it allowed me to be more creative with my answers as I was thinking about things I was hearing, and I ended up designing a different 'solar system' chart than is in the book (my library copy of the tapes had some stuff missing!). It's possible to get a bit bogged down in the detail if the book exercises are followed rigidly, but there is room for your own interpretations, which are always vital with this kind of book. I gave it a score of three because it is good, but parts of it didn't apply to me and some exercises can get a bit much. You have to be in the mood. However, it's worth reading to give an alternative insight in these over-burdened multi-directional times."
