Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

To get the most out of the 24-hour day, Ettus (The Experts' Guide to 100 Things Everyone Should Know How To Do) asked experts in a variety of fields how to accomplish tasks with the greatest efficiency. The result is this book, which features, e.g., Jerry Lucas (The Memory Book, 1974), who holds forth on how to learn names, while psychologist Barbara Rothblum discusses how to overcome fear. The topics range from organizing a closet and chopping vegetables to building a great relationship and navigating a new city. The short chapters provide easy reading for the time-starved person. Highly recommended for über-self-helpers.
