Patrick Rhone Releases New Book: Keeping It Straight

Online, May 2, 2011 (Newswire.com) - First Today Press is please to announce the release of a new book by popular blogger and podcaster Patrick Rhone. Keeping It Straight: Stories, Observations & Reminiscences is a collection of essays and stories covering topics ranging from personal productivity to insights on identity and balance. It is Mr. Rhone's first published book. He is a resident of St. Paul, Minnesota.

From the back cover:
Life, living, can be complex. There's work, family, and that big bucket of everything else. Hectic doesn't come close to defining the pace of modern life. And yet within this whirlwind it's often the simple things that bring us the greatest joy - if we could only find them in the clutter of our lives. It may not be necessary to give it all up and live in a cave, but it can sometimes seem like a good idea.

What can you do? Take a moment and think about you, me, and everything else.

Keeping It Straight is Patrick Rhone's very personal mediation on his own life and experiences. His clear insights identify the jumble and distractions of life today and offer simple and useful advice on how to discover and focus on what really matters. This collection of short essays is filled with clear, direct, and useful observations on productivity, life, and living.

"Patrick's writing is like warm butter on dry toast. Each page is full of musings and personal discoveries from Patrick's life that will make you think about how you're spending your time and energy, and, more importantly, it will make you think about what priorities are most important in your own life." Shawn Blanc, Technology Blogger

Randy Murray, writer and publisher at First Today Press said, "Fans of David Allen's 'Getting Things Done' will instantly embrace Patrick Rhone's work. Patrick offers the "Why" to GTD's "How.""

Keeping It Straight is available online at firsttodaypress.com in paperback and eBook editions and will soon be available from Amazon.com (Kindle and paperback) and booksellers everywhere.
