A fresh approach to a perennial topic March 30, 2007
3 out of 6 found this review helpful

I was introduced to this book as one worth reading. How true that is! This is an easy to follow and heartfelt book. It offers a multitude of ideas for implementing better ways to think and more importantly, how to manage the thinking environment. That could be in meetings, conversations or 1:1. Its of some substance yet still accessible. This last point is not easy to create, as I can personally vouch as author of The Coaching Parent. I commend Nancy's work to you.

Nancy Kline's Time to think review by David Megginson, past chair of EMCC April 14, 2006
10 out of 14 found this review helpful

This book is a stunner. The information that Nancy gives on listening, really listening, is remarkable and transformative. For me the methodology of addressing limiting assumptions is A methodology rather than THE methodology for personal change, but none the worse for that. Nancy's account of her dealing with cancer is one of the most moving accounts that I have read of understated courage and determination. An inspiration.

Do we really listen? August 6, 2005

A colleague introduced me to Nancy Kline'book and I have used it many times as a reference for planning meetings; presentations and marketing.

The way the sections and chapters of the book is laid out is easy on the eyes and mind. Sensible relevant titles to each chapter with personal anecdotes; thoughts etc that help you retain the information for future use.

As you recall your own frustrations about people who managed/supervised your work - you find encouragement in the form of well fomatted - bullet point text. It presented me with guidance that has radically altered the relationship I have with people at home and at work.

I use her book as a reference when I am planning meetings; Presentations; projects etc

Unusually I have re-read the introduction on several occasions - it is so interesting and informative.

A colleague introduced me to this book and I have not looked back.

I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who thinks they listen to others and can't understand why every day they face problems in the workplace and at home.

5 out of 5 stars An experimenter of the thinking enviroment April 19, 2004

After having read Time To Think I couldn't wait to experiment it.
I tried to have a Thinking Session with my husband following the book's instructions. We didn't get the results we expected so I emailed to Time To Think Inc. asking for a consultant to do a Thinking Session. We did it and it was a deep experience for me.

I felt deeply heard first time in my life; time didn't existed while I was talking/thinking about my problem. Anne - the consultant- asked me the Incisive Question and in that moment my thinking was so deep I could heard my answer coming out from my body and I knew with no doubt it was the right answer/solution for me in this moment of my life.

Even it may sound silly I have to say that, because I found my own answer to my dificult problem, I feel more confidence.

Before this experience I thought the sessions where expensive.I was not sure if would work for me but after have seen the results I feel grateful to Nancy and her team. The Thinking Sessions really work.

4 out of 5 stars Still enjoying 'Time to Think' June 16, 2003

Am STILL reading Time to Think (a loan copy) but just had to buy it before I finished it! A refreshing read for everyone interested in better thinking and effective use of time (shouldn't that be all of us?). I like the way Nancy has adopted many of the Appreciative Inquiry concepts into her writing, and has loads of good 'one-liners' and questions one can use to promote her work and ideas.
Other reviews have covered the content well, so I just wanted to say that I've made loads of connections with other interests of mine - coaching, mentoring, running meetings, creativity, NLP, leadership, time management, diversity, etc. etc. Enjoy.
