‘There are many books about motivation and they tend to rely on pop psychology or the author's intuition, which makes them as inaccurate as ineffective. With Get Things Done, Robert Kelsey has managed to bridge the gap between the science and practice of willpower, discussing key psychological theories in an elegant, accessible style, and translating them into effective actionable suggestions. This book is a must-read for anybody wishing to understand the difference between potential and achievement, and wanting to bridge that gap to fulfil their meaningful goals.’

‘The world is full of dreamers; talented individuals with great abilities, ideas and aspirations. And yet, many of these dreamers fail to realize their full potential. How sad is that? In his book, Get Things Done, author Robert Kelsey shares the secrets of making things happen. He tackles both psychological and behavioural blocks, and gives us practical ways to deal with potential distractions such as email, conflict, bad habits, etc. His writing style is genuine, easy to read and based on solid research. I recommend this book for anyone out there who knows they have even more potential than they are currently demonstrating. You want to get results in your life? Then start by reading this book!’
