How to Get More Done in Less Time review
A $17.99 time-management ebook credited to a doctor with a PhD in Time Management.
Pass
Time management is one of the most published topics there is, and the contents list covers the usual ground. The listing does not say which tools or methods it uses, so you cannot tell whether it adds anything to free material on time blocking or the Eisenhower matrix. The co-author's PhD in Time Management is not an academic degree, and her surname, Andrews, is shared by four other co-authors in this batch.

Prioritising and tools
Strategies, distraction control, tools and habits.
No method or tool is named on the listing.
Five Doctors Andrews
Cynthia, Sarah, Monica, Martha and Beverly Andrews all appear as co-authors in this batch.
Along with four Doctors Donald, that suggests generated names.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Cynthia Andrews with a PhD in Time Management and 29 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across the more than 120 titles from this seller in our catalogue: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.
Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.
The rest of the numbers are decoration
Claims 357000+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.
The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.
