How many of the hours last week did you live the way you wanted to? How many hours last
week did someone else determine and decide what you should do? The 168 Hour Week is
the book that shows you how to reclaim your life. In direct and to the point fashion, author
Kevin Hogan walks you through how you have lost control of your life and your Self. You
can now take back control. The answer involves one factor and the mastery of that factor
in many different contexts. Never before presented in the public, you now have the hand-
book to get and live what is rightfully yours. Your life.

goal setting, planners, scheduling, procrastination, outsourcing, etc--- down to solid bed-
rock to uncover and reveal what REALLY matters ... If this book can't turbo-charge your

You can live the life you want, if you have
a map that actually maps the terrain.
Most don't.
People that fail do most of the things
that the people who succeed do. Compa-
nies that fail do most of the things that
other companies that succeed do.
Conventional wisdom says, "Visualize
your goal and you will get it:' But both the
people who succeed and fail at all levels
of life, do just this. And this is just one
example of uncovering why so few peo-
ple actually succeed or achieve what they
want in life. It turns out that what many
of the success philosophers are sharing
are not only a recipe of rare success, but
far too often, failure.
You have been told over and over how
to "be successful;' stop procrastination,
increase productivity, have more time for
the things you want to do and finally how
to manage that time. But, like everyone
else who read the books or went to the
workshops, what you were told works
doesn't work in real life.
The advice seemed sound. It almost
seemed logical. "Do a little each day:'
"Start with your long term goals:' And on
and on, but again, the advice had no basis
in their personal real behavior but those
advisors were probably telling you what
they thought they were doing.
Kevin Hogan has combed through the
research and matched it up with the hun -
dreds of individuals he has personally
coached. It turns out that most of what
people have been taught about achieve-
ment, success, time management and
productivity has indeed been incorrect.
For the first time ever, in easy to un-
derstand language, a 'simple' and work-
able "life plan," based on thousands of
international studies has been assembled.
You will find this approach sometimes
startling, often surprising and it will most
definitely help you achieve the life you
want to live.

"Once I got this book, I literally couldn't put it down. I spent my day
reading it until it was finished - and I'm so glad I did. As a person who
wants to get as much out of my day as possible, and always wondering
why I wasted any time doing things that I shouldn't be, this book was a
God send. Kevin pulls back the curtains on why we procrastinate so
much in our daily activities and reveals why we're not as productive as
we know we can be. His simple approach breaks everything down into
easy to understand pieces so that you can see where you can implement
what is needed for you to be productive, and more importantly,
successful. What you learn will put you on the road to productive
success, but will change how you schedule your day so that not only
are your working hours more productive, but so are your non working
ones, too. A must read for anyone wanting to overcome Procrastination
and have their productivity go through the roof - so much so that I'm
off to read it again!" --David Walsh, United Kingdom

"Just about everything you have been told about time
management, motivation and goal setting is flat out wrong. Get ready
for some in your face changes and planning that will help increase
action in your business and personal life. Kevin has laid out in an easy
to read and easy to use workbook on how to achieve the life you know
that you are capable of. It is up to you whether you will live up to being
the person you know you can be. Write in your book, mark it up and

"Yo u can start throwing out your old goal setting books because Kevin
Hogan has written the no B.S. Guide to goal setting and destroying
procrastination. I defy you to read Chapters 6 + 7 and not feel like
you just got the kick in the ass you need to take action now! This is the
success blueprint for the rest of your life." --Michael D. Walker, CEO,
ZentiMentaLcom and Production Team Member Cirque du Soleil's
Zumanity
"An invigorating read, clearly written with personal passion; full of
invaluable life success tactics. I do live my life 'my way' and I've loved
every moment of it since I discovered how to (just to do it!). Still, I
struggle with procrastination, time management, frustration and
sometimes lose sight of my vision or goals. Kevin's simply
implemented strategies, and well structured time management plans,
were exactly what I needed to move on to the next level with my own
personal development, maximizing my productivity, i.e. success. A
much needed tier addition to my life toolbox. This is a terrific read for
anyone, but especially those wishing to better organize their time, gain
motivation and clarity for the journey to reach their goals, and live a
fuller, happier life knowing and appreciating who they are. There are
many books about personal development but this is the only I have
came across which is written in such a pure, non frills approach.
Everyone needs to know about this life changing book." --Laurena
