I am happy to believe that a lot that we do is useless, but the book didn't really convince me of the value of just dropping stuff that we might deem unworthy.

Denise Mochid finished reading The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey
Great book also at the second time reading. The fact that the author comes from a very different (Christian) philosophical background than me doesn't change that. The principles, Covey states again and again, don't belong to any religion or philosophical system but rather show themselves again and again in any lasting one. I don't know whether that is true, but I believe that taking time to identify one's personal principles and values as well as living in accordance with them is truly benficial.
