From Publishers Weekly
A rehashing of oldâ€”if successfulâ€”ground from his 2001 book Getting Things Done, Allen revisits his simple yet comprehensive system of organizing every aspect of one's life for career, professional and personal developmentâ€”even addressing how to plan a vacation, choose a babysitter or arrange eldercare for a parent. The author's inarguable premise is that a complete and current inventory of commitments organized and reviewed in a systematic way can sharpen focus and allow for wiser decision making. Allen cautions that the book does not provide answers to tricky life choices; its methods will aid in developing the self-assurance to trust one's own solutions. Readers are guided through the process of obtaining control and perspective, organizing tasks and goals to reach the Getting Things Done (GTD) holy grail of an empty in-basket and e-mail inbox. Although the book purports to expand on the principles of GTD, there's very little new material in this latest offering, which serves more as a sales tool for the first one than for a project all on its own. Those seeking organizational nirvana would do best to invest in the original and give this one a pass. (Dec.)

I disagree with the review (above). "Making it All Work" is a great book. David Allen doesn't spend a lot of time rehashing the original book, but he does reframe a lot of the ideas from "Getting Things Done." Some people might find it helpful to hear him talk about the same ideas in different ways. But Allen also expands on the original book by talking about how organization manifests itself in people, and he does this by a quadrant system. Originally I yawned when I saw he had set up quadrants, but he basically sets up four personality types, and how GTD can best be used by each type. It works.

The audiobook comes with a PDF, which is included.
