By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy - instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. Essentialism is not one more thing - it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

As high achievers, we’ve been conditioned to believe that the path to success is paved with relentless work. That if we want to overachieve, we have to overexert, overthink, and overdo. That if we aren’t perpetually exhausted, we’re not doing enough. But lately, working hard is more exhausting than ever. And the more depleted we get, the more effort it takes to make progress. Stuck in an endless loop of “Zoom, eat, sleep, repeat”, we’re often working twice as hard to achieve half as much. 

Have you ever found yourself struggling with information overload? Have you ever felt both overworked and underutilised? Do you ever feel busy but not productive? If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is to become an essentialist. In Essentialism, Greg McKeown, CEO of a leadership and strategy agency in Silicon Valley who has run courses at Apple, Google and Facebook, shows you how to achieve what he calls the disciplined pursuit of less.

From the internationally best-selling author of Essentialism comes a guide to making the most important tasks effortless. The intricacy of modern life has created a false dichotomy between things that are 'hard and important' and those that are 'easy and trivial'. Everything has become so much harder than it ought to be. But, Greg McKeown, best-selling author of Essentialism, says, there is a third alternative. In Effortless, he offers practical strategies for making the most vital tasks the easiest ones. 

Würden Sie gerne mehr erreichen, fühlen sich aber zu erschöpft? Rennen Sie immer schneller, aber das Ziel ist immer weiter entfernt? Viele Dinge scheinen weitaus anstrengender, als sie sein sollten. Woran das liegt und was man dagegen tun kann, beschreibt New-York-Times-Bestsellerautor Greg McKeown. Es mangelt meist weder an Motivation noch an Willen, ganz im Gegenteil: Wir arbeiten zu viel, überanstrengen uns und dann sind die Akkus leer. McKeown zeigt, wie man Ablenkungen reduziert, Prozesse vereinfacht, Probleme vermeidet und auch Unvollkommenheit akzeptiert.

Learn how you can finally become more productive and squeeze the most out of your time on a daily basis, so you can spend more time doing the things you love the most.
