Review Incredibly helpful … one of the few books that I revisit on a regular basis * Tim Ferriss *Greg McKeowns 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 dont make progress that way. Instead, youre 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 cant tell you whats 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 youre doing and read it. * Adam Grant, bestselling author of HIDDEN POTENTIAL *As a self-proclaimed "maximalist" who always wants to do it all, this book challenged me and improved my life. If you want to work better, not just less, you should read it too. * Chris Guillebeau, NYT bestselling author of THE $100 STARTUP *Great design takes us beyond the complex, the unnecessary and confusing, to the simple, clear and meaningful.
