“Essentialism holds the keys to solving one of the great puzzles of life: How can we do less but accomplish more?”—Adam Grant, bestselling author of Think Again

Essentialism isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done.

Have you ever found yourself stretched too thin?
Are you often busy but not productive?
Do you feel like your time is constantly being hijacked?

If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist.

Essentialism is more than a time-management technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter.

By forcing us to apply more selective criteria for where to spend our precious time and energy, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices, instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us.

Essentialism is not one more thing to do. It’s a whole new way of doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Join the millions of people who have used Essentialism to change their outlook on the world.

Great Message, Redundant At Times

Greg does a great job of narrating, but a good editor could have trimmed a fourth from this read.

Motivating but Missing the Actionable

The message of the book is excellent, and the author and reader does a good job of promoting a simpler and more focused life. I would have liked a bit more on the "how to," more tangible action items. Yet the teaching is motivating, and I will likely listen again. Perhaps I will glean more of the "how to" on the second listen.

Great Read!

This book will really make you think...about what REALLY matters. I'm SO glad I read it.

A Masterpiece

The author introduces the concept in a great way then goes on to demonstrate how to utilize it in every aspect of your life.

He demonstrates the concept through many practical examples that help elucidate them.

I found many great Concepts that I will definitely Implement in my life, personal and career wise.

Indeed a masterpiece of a book. Landed on the top of my need to listen to again books list.

Life Altering

This book is across the board good for any demographic of persons. Loved it as a stay at home mom even though it is business minded, everything applies. It is like a financial freedom seminar for your time!
