Review: Evening is the Whole Day by Preeta Samarasan.
The people stood while Ezra read. The people wept upon hearing God’s commands. But Nehemiah stood and commanded the people that the day should be a holy day—a day to celebrate the reading of the Law—and not a day of mourning. The second day of the reading of the Law they learned about the feast of tabernacles. It was a seven-day feast.
Evening is the Whole Day is such a book. Lawyer Rajasekharan seems to have everything that he could wish for. He lives in the Big House, his family home, with his wife and three children and his mother. Servants tend to their every need and money is not a problem.

Normally when I write a book summary I outline the main points from each chapter. However with GTD, the book is jam-packed with information and ideas. In order to make this summary useful, actionable and concise I thought I would summarise the main lesson from the book as a whole instead of each individual chapter.
