“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.

Life in Perspective

Helps put things into perspective whether your wearing yourself too thin or want more free time!
I'm working on saying no now =) awesome

Extremely important and simple lesson

4 stars overall since I felt this book was unorganized and scattered in the beginning but it's 100% worth it to finish. This was my first listen but I will certainly listen again, like I do with books that have an important life message.

A game changer! Love this book!

I loved listening to this book because the author goes straight to the point of what you need to do and don’t do if you really want a better life, a job or business you are passionate with and a more meaningful experience with everything you do and with people around you.

Is not just about how to simplify your life. The author goes deeper into the matter and explains how to be more productive and conscious; the importance of mindfulness and the ability to stop telling lies to yourself thinking that you can do “everything “ .

This book helped me to let go of things and people I can’t control, and now I feel more motivated and focus. I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders:)

PS: I also loved the author voice and accent while listening to his book

Won me over, 25% in

I didn’t like the first few chapters and initially regretted purchasing but there was enough useful information by the end that I’m glad I did.

you should read this!!

love this book!! It has helped me to pursue less and start saying "no" without guilt.
