Incredibly helpful … one of the few books that I revisit on a
regular basis
*Tim Ferriss*
Greg McKeown’s excellent new book is a much-needed antidote to the
stress, burnout and compulsion to “do everything,” that infects us
all. It is an essential read for anyone who wants to regain control
of their health, wellbeing, and happiness
*Arianna Huffington*
Do you feel it, too? That relentless pressure to sample all the
good things in life? To do all the 'right' things? The reality is,
you don’t make progress that way. Instead, you’re in danger of
spreading your efforts so thin that you make no impact at all. Greg
McKeown believes the answer lies in paring life down to its
essentials. He can’t tell you what’s essential to every life, but
he can help you find the meaning in yours.
*Daniel H. Pink, author of TO SELL IS HUMAN and DRIVE*
Entrepreneurs succeed when they say "yes" to the right project, at
the right time, in the right way. To accomplish this, they have to
be good at saying "no" to all their other ideas. Essentialism
offers concise and eloquent advice on how to determine what you
care about most, and how to apply your energies in ways that
ultimately bring you the greatest rewards
*Reid Hoffman, co-founder/chairman of LinkedIn and co-author of the
#1 NYT bestseller THE START-UP OF YOU*
Essentialism holds the keys to solving one of the great puzzles of
life: how can we do less but accomplish more? A timely, essential
read for anyone who feels overcommitted, overloaded, or
overworked—in other words, everyone. It has already changed the way
that I think about my own priorities, and if more leaders embraced
this philosophy, our jobs and our lives would be less stressful and
more productive. So drop what you’re doing and read it.
*Adam Grant, Wharton professor and bestselling author of GIVE AND
TAKE*
