Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
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. Being an essentialist is about a disciplined way of thinking. It means challenging the core assumptions of "we can have it all" and "I have to do everything" and replacing them with the pursuit of "the right thing in the right way at the right time".
By applying a more selective criteria for what is essential, the pursuit of less allows us to regain control of our own choices so we can channel our time, energy and effort into making the highest possible contribution toward the goals and activities that matter.
Using the experience and insight of working with the leaders of the most innovative companies and organisations in the world, McKeown shows you how to put Essentialism into practice in your own life, so you, too, can achieve something great.

Great book
A fantastic book, clear, and highly inspirational. Only complaint is that the Greek words were wrongly pronounced.

Excellent
This is a very clear and practical book - of benefit to anyone who feels they’re not quite at the centre of their own life. No waffle - just helpful accessible techniques and rationale. Will read again.

Less but better, focus on what matters most
This is a great audiobook that helps us navigate the age of information overload and endless choices and distractions. Uncomplicated story telling, straight to the point, and a great way of reminding us about the importance of focusing on what really matters. The tone of voice is relaxing but not monotonous.

A must read for today's busy lifestyle
Can not recommend this book highly enough for those struggling with busy schedules or productivity. Breaks down modern day lifestyle issues and simply recommends how to overcome these issues by identifying what's truly important.
