Essentialism by Greg McKeown

By reading this koob, you will learn how to focus only on tasks that are meaningful, how to say no to tasks that aren’t, and how to amp up your productivity.

You will also learn:

• What it means to be an “Essentialist”

Greg McKeown is the CEO of a leadership and strategy design agency in Silicon Valley. He wrote Essentialism with the hope of passing along some of his wisdom in order to help others adapt to an Essentialist lifestyle! Essentialism allows you to give yourself permission to stop saying yes to everyone and to stop trying to do it all, so that you can begin to make your highest contributions toward what really matters most to you. Essentialism doesn’t teach you how to get more done—it teaches you how to get the right things done. Are you ready to learn where to invest your time and efforts in the best way possible?
