What’s Best Next: How the Gospel Transforms the Way You Get Things Done (audio)

Though in the same vein as Stephen Covey’s First Things First, Matt Perman’s What’s Best Next has its own unmatched heartbeat. Unique to any other book about maximizing efficiency, What’s Best Next is a God-centered, gospel-oriented perspective that addresses the proper motivation to drive your productivity---serving others, to the glory of God. What’s Best Next will first look at productivity in a theological context—showing how the Gospel transforms our understanding of productivity, giving us a new way to look at productivity and new reasons to care about productivity. Then, on this foundation, it will outline a practical approach for improving our own productivity. As a result, What’s Best Next will show us how to increase our productivity in a way that truly increases our joy—that is, how to grow in productivity so that we can have the thrill of making life better for others (with, perhaps, the added benefit of being able to use cool tools to do it).
