Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less

McKeown, Greg

For anyone who has ever felt overworked but underutilized or always busy but never productive, comes a book on how to achieve more by doing less: a systematic, strategic framework for discerning what is essential, eliminating what is not, and removing obstacles in order to make the execution of what is actually essential as easy and effortless as possible.

By forcing us to disinguish the vital few from the trivial many and apply a tougher, more selective criteria for what is Essential, the discplined pursuit of less allows us to regain control of our own choices so we can channel our time, energy, and effort toward making the highest possible contribution toward the goals and activities that truly matter.
