Praise for the book, "Essentialism"

According to Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, all the information ever created in human history up to the year 2003, is created every single day.

We are drowning in information but starving for wisdom. 

Living in times of unprecedented innovation and opportunity comes with the responsibility of making tough choices about what's truly worth our fleeting time.

Being "busy" is often mistaken for productive and used as an excuse for failing to question the actual utility of that busyness.

The fundamental question Greg McKeown's book, Essentialism tries to answer is, "How can we make the choices that allow us to tap into more of the potential inside ourselves, and in people everywhere?"

IF YOU DON'T PRIORITIZE YOUR LIFE, SOMEONE ELSE WILL.

This book will help you think in terms of trade-off rather than solutions to doing it all. McKeown's key argument is that we live in a world where almost everything is worthless and very few things are actually valuable.

Essentialism will teach you to think like an "Essentialist" who asks the questions, "What is the trade-off I want to make? What can I go big on?" instead of asking, "How can I do it all?"

Better answers require we first ask ourselves better questions.

This book is a game-changer, particularly for those who want to make an impact in the world but feel like they're making a millimeter of progress in a million different directions rather than significant progress in one or two.

Essentialism will offer you the insights to live a life by design instead of default.
