Part Common Sense & Part Confidence?

A very interesting stance on modern work ethic and the issues surrounding not being able to identify the importance of each task in your life. Some useful examples and overall a very intriguing book which I wholeheartedly recommend.

Essential listening for all

Whether you are a parent looking to plan time better, a business owner interested in raising standards and productivity or an individual who feels swamped by life - or any other type of human - this book is an easy and essential read/listen.
In the audio format The narrator has a clear and well measured tone that allows you to focus on the content. Not too boring, not overexcited and no sidelines, off book commentary or colourful language… appropriately… just the essential facts.
As a regular reader of business and productivity manuals I can see that this book brings together a variety of ideas snd sources on how to get more done. But, even though I’ve heard them before I was not uninterested in hearing how this author fits them into his essentialist theory. And there was no major sales patter or worksheets to follow, just simple and concise information and options for taking a more conscious approach to tackling life. There was maybe nothing new or fantastic in what was being proposed but it was set out in such a way that it reached me in a clearer and more inspirational way than I’ve found in other places.
What was most impressive was the applicability of the essentialist way in life in general. With toxic and demanding people in your life it’s not always easy to prioritise without feeling guilty and I found this book a support in thinking that there are good and solid reasons why I might opt to look after my own interests rather than bend to the path of least resistance.
For the first time with an audiobook I will be listening again, immediately, not because I misunderstood, need clarification or need to take notes, but simply because I need to hear it repeated so I can fix my mind on becoming more essentialist right now. I feel I will revisit this book again in future and I will certainly be recommending it to friends

Loved it, recommended it to others who love it too

I loved the anecdotes which made it relatable and memorable for me. While I already know that we need to draw healthy boundaries, I still had aha moments and it showed me how I was still giving away too much of my time to others because I worried about how others saw me. I immediately applied what was taught in the book and felt greater peace of mind in the weeks that followed. I then recommended this to my friends, who also loved it. In addition, I enjoyed the author's narration and it was a great experience!

Straight to the point: less is more.

This book is very rich in content and yet, simple. a great guideline for better work life, marriage life or anything that needs your attention and focus and you just donr have the capacity to select in order to do so. I've enjoyed the listening and now feel estrela challeneged to change my thinking and doing. That's what I call a powerful book.
