Results in No Time introduces a powerful, long-range
vision that naturally guides us toward peak performance during
any kind of work--not by motivational or manipulative techniques,
nor by getting us to agree with organizational goals or values,
but by helping us simply and directly explore the feeling of
time passing and valued qualities of our experience
such as timelessness.
Results in No Time:
- Guides you toward mastery and peak performance in all aspects
of work, and during any activities.
- Describes our actual experience, how we do things
during peak performance--it doesn't just give ideas about what
we should do, which are not generally applicable.
- Teaches fundamental keys to mastering deadline pressues,
procrastination, planning and time estimation, and time poverty,
the feeling of not having enough time.
- Provides examples of how we actually create our sense
of time passing.
- Describes how peak performance includes a sense of timelessless
within activities of widely varying speeds.
- Clarifies the difference between clock time and
our sense of time passing.
- Shows how we can speed up the practical activities of our
lives and accomplish more while diminishing the
feeling that we don't have enough time.
- Has numerous Time Out! exercises and guidelines
that foster the reader's exploration of peak work experience.
- Summarizes in a readable format the research on peak experiences.
- Serves as a meeting ground for personal fulfillment and corporate
results, breaking through employee distrust of management's motives.
- Identifies the best focal point for driving overall organizational
progress.
- Provides a cross-cultural, deeply shared vision needed as
the foundation of optimal learning organizations.
- Encompasses any particular organizational or individual models,
processes, structures, styles, or habits, because the long-range
vision presented is completely general.
- Identifies deep-level valued qualities of experience that
provide self-sustaining, self-actualizing motivation--not requiring
management to motivate employees. Because the qualities are inherent,
shared aspects of human being, "managing by values"
is possible without efforts to get employee buy-in.

The quality of our lives is closely connected to our understanding
of time. If we are not well acquainted with time's dynamic and
how it connects to mind and senses, divisions and meanings, meditation
and self-actualization, then time runs our lives. To gain access
to a deeper understanding of time, it seems we must begin by
keeping track of time. Gradually, through careful observation
of time, awareness begins to deepen and experience grows richer
and more positive. This book offers ways to begin such an exploration
by learning how to pay attention to time, to use time well, and
to see the connection between the quality of our lives and our
understanding of time.
To extract a real profit from time, awareness must deepen
into time, contacting and engaging each moment. This moment by
moment adventure begins to reveal the inner meaning of love,
happiness, and creativity that we are all searching for. As we
connect with the virtuous power of time that manifests all features
of experience, we recognize that time is our friend, our parent,
our destiny. If we do not cooperate with time, then it disappears
without so much as a kiss good bye. If we embrace it, time gladly
shares its dynamic power and opens its treasury of meaning, enriching
our lives beyond all measure.

I have just finished reading your book. I am positively impressed
about the ideas and especially the body of experiences expressed
in it. You raise issues of paramount importance for individuals
and organizations. I agree that we should stop the superficial
firefighting of the temporal problems in organizations, and engage
instead in deeper explorations and reconceptualizations of the
meaning of time, work, and the workplace.
I like the fact that you communicate abstract ideas in a concrete,
immediate, and dialogic form. The exercises and overall structure
of your book are user-friendly and facilitate the reader's interactive
engagement with it. This can help spread some of these ideas
to a broad audience. The book definitely invites people to stop
viewing time as dimension external to them and reposition its
meaning and functions within the field of their own experience.
This is a very valuable attempt indeed.
