" Essentialism will give you richer, sweeter results and put you in real control, giving greater precision to the pursuit of what truly matters." -- Forbes "In this likeable and astute treatise on the art of doing less in order to do better...McKeown makes the content fresh and the solutions easy to implement. Following his lucid and smart directions will help readers find 'the way of the essentialist.'" -- Success "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 don't make progress that way. Instead, you're 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 can't tell you what's 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 New York Times bestseller The Start-up of You "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, New York Times bestselling author of The $100 Startup "Great design takes us beyond the complex, the unnecessary and confusing, to the simple, clear and meaningful. This is as true for the design of a life as it is for the design of a product. With Essentialism, Greg McKeown gives us the invaluable guidebook for just such a project." --Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO "In Essentialism, Greg McKeown makes a compelling case for achieving more by doing less. He reminds us that clarity of focus and the ability to say 'no' are both critical and undervalued in business today." --Jeff Weiner, â€ŽCEO, LinkedIn " Essentialism is a powerful antidote to the current craziness that plagues our organizations and our lives. Read Greg McKeown's words slowly, stop and think about how to apply them to your life--you will do less, do it better, and begin to feel the insanity start to slip away." --Robert I. Sutton, Professor at Stanford University and author of Good Boss, Bad Boss and Scaling Up Excellence " Essentialism is a rare gem that will change lives. Greg offers deep insights, rich context and actionable steps to living life at its fullest. I've started on the path to an Essentialist way of life, and the impact on my productivity and well-being is profound." --Bill Rielly, Senior Vice President, Intel Security, Entrepreneurs succeed when they say "yes" to the right project, at the right time, in the right way.

This timely, well written book is a must read and do for any employee, manager, leader, or parent whoever feels overwhelmed. It is truly the right book at the right time. - Dave Ulrich, Professor, University of Michigan School of Business and Partner, the RBL Group "While everyone else is still leafing through Lean In or Outliers , get a competitive jump on the new year with....Essentialism... learn how to identify the right things, focus on getting them done, and forget the rest.

Synopsis

THE LIFE-CHANGING NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * MORE THAN TWO MILLION COPIES SOLD "Essentialism holds the keys to solving one of the great puzzles of life: How can we do less but accomplish more?"--Adam Grant, bestselling author of Think Again Essentialism isn't about getting more done in less time.
