Default Who is here to win Leo's Zen To Done book?

I found this forum from Zen Habits. I've been reading Leo's blog for over four months now. The book giveaway sounds very exciting. The book is priced at $10 but I'm sure the information in it is priceless. However, I kept putting off buying the book. But for once procrastination paid off. Now I can win it here instead.

Who else is here because of the book offer? For those of you who have read the book, what do you think of it? Is it a lot of rehash of the blog or does it contain more detailed tips?

The themes are the same, but it's not really a rehash. It's more like Zen Habits but condensed to only the most important bits.

I'm a big fan of productivity books and such ... even though some of the information in the Zen to Done book may be repeated from elsewhere, it's an excellent resource at all levels. Definetly worth the $10 price.

Being a Zen Habits reader, I thought that the e-book would just be a summary of what was already on the blog. Then I read the Wise Bread article on the book, which made me take a second look at it. I was so tempted to buy the book immediately, and even at this moment I want to buy it. But I'll wait to see if my stars align so I can win it here!

I came here to win the book or the Amazon gift card, but I'm totally going to stick around after the giveaways are over. This is an amazing community!

I've been reading through Wise Bread for a while now. It's one of my favorites but I have to admit that I only recently joined the forums. I love Leo's Zen Habits and it was his referral that got me here. There's lots of great info (and people) here in the forums. Zen to Done or an Amazon certificate would be a lovely bonus.

Good community, good people, good communication.
