Books I'll Be Reading Thanks To GTD Summit Participants

I JUST RETURNED from two days at the first GTD Summit, where I served as a panelist for summit organizer David Allen (disclosure: CRA has a strategic partnership with The David Allen Co.). It was a spectacular two and a half days, and I've returned with a long list of notes, people, and actions to process, but I thought I'd start with the books. It's clear that the currency of relational exchange among the GTD community is books -- I've not often been among more widely-read group of people, and the frequency with which folks would say "You've got to read ..." was astonishing. I came back from San Francisco with a short shelf of books to read, all of which I've already downloaded to my Kindle 2 or have coming to the office via Amazon. Here's what I'll be reading (thanks to the recommendations of Summit participants):

• Cradle to Cradle
• Elsewhere, USA
• The Limits of Power
• Tree of Knowledge

  I'll post reviews as (and if) I finish them ...

Hi Alan - I was at the Summit too and what a fabulous two days it was. Thanks for your comments as a panelist - I listened very closely to what you had to say and benefited. I took extensive electronic notes and am glad to share them if you would like. Thanks also for the book recs post - great stuff.

I'm also a lover of Utah's deserts. Did Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands and Timpanogas a couple years back in an epic Utahpalooza trip :). Thx.
