Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

A thoroughly revised edition of the blockbuster bestseller Getting Things Done, complete with all-new tips and tools for stress-free productivity in an ever-changing work environment.

Since it was first published in David Allen’s Getting Things Done has become one of the most influential business titles of its era, and the book on personal organization. “GTD” has become shorthand for an entire way of approaching the professional and personal tasks everyone faces in life, and has spawned an entire culture of websites, organizational tools, seminars, and offshoots. The book has also become an international phenomenon, with translation rights sold in 33 countries. The book has consistently been one of Penguin’s bestselling titles at both Amazon and Barnes.

Given the success we’ve had with revised editions of our other tentpole business titles Getting to Yes and Difficult Conversations, it was only natural that we bring Getting Things Done up to date as well. David Allen has rewritten the book from start to finish, tweaking his classic text with new tools and technologies, and adding material that will make the book evergreen for the coming decades. Also new is a glossary of GTD terms; The GTD Path of Mastership - a description of what Allen has learned and is now teaching regarding the lifelong craft of integrating these practices, to the end-game of the capability of dealing with anything in life, by getting control and focus; and a section on the cognitive science research that validates GTD principles.

The new edition of Getting Things Done will be welcomed not only by the hundreds of thousands of existing fans but will be embraced by an entire new generation eager to adopt its proven principles.
