Fatto E Bene!: Come Vivere Organizzati E Contenti (2003) - Plot & Excerpts
This book is hard to describe. After a cursory glance, it seemed mostly like a less-helpful retread of "Getting Things Done". There's a lot of useful additional content in here, however, particularly the examples of what implementing GTD really looks like and much more fleshing-out of Allen's "Horizons of Focus". The Horizons of Focus (aka Perspective) sections of Getting Things Done were somewhat thin and Making it All Work adds some meat to those bones. I can't say I'd recommend this to someone who hasn't read Getting Things Done, but it's a worthwhile follow-up for someone wanting to dive deeper into GTD. Imagine David Allen got to write his doctoral thesis on the topic of... David Allen. And suppose no one told him he needed an editor... or concrete examples. What would you have?You'd have Making it All Work, of course: a very insightful, very in-depth exposition of Getting Things Done stuff in which Allen never says "use" when he could say "utilize" (or at least it feels that way). It's for serious scholars of his philosophy. If you pretend you're walking into Allen's graduate seminar and don't mind strapping on your abstract hat, you might be inspired.

Not a lot of new concepts, but still worthwhile read.
