    Thanks for visiting!

    Leo has an interview posted at ZenHabits with none other than the remarkable Stephen Covey, whose work The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People we have been delving into for three weeks. I recommend that you read the comment thread, too, as it is quite animated.

    Leo has also released his new e-book:

    …the Zen Habits Handbook for Life — it’s a series of my best articles on making your life simpler, on becoming happier, and on getting more productive.

    I put this e-book together at the request of a number of readers, who wanted the essential Zen Habits articles gathered in an e-book format. I’m certain you’ll enjoy it!

    This book looks to be just as informative as the Zen to Done productivity method that he wrote last year. Click this link to order the book for immediate download, for only $6.95!

    As a bonus, if you go to this post on Personal Mission Statements, one of you can win a free copy simply by leaving your own Mission Statement as a Comment. What’s in this e-book, you ask? Well, how about:

    Section 1: Simplicity

    • Decluttering
    • Single-tasking
    • Edit Your Commitments
    • Eiminate All But the Essentials
    • Don’t Do Everything on Your To-do List
    • The Art of Doing Nothing
    • Declutter Your Mind
    • 72 Simplicity Tips
    • Eat Slower

    Section 2: Productivity

    • Purpose Your Day: Most Important Tasks
    • Focus on the Big Rocks
    • Clear Out Your Inbox
    • Clear Your Desk
    • Become an Early Riser
    • Become Motivated When You’re in a Slump
    • Make the Most of Your Laziest Days
    • Decompress After High Stress

    And more, including an entire section on Happiness. And who couldn’t use a little more happiness in their life.
    Thanks, Leo, for sharing.
