FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ESSENTIALISM COMES A GUIDE TO MAKING THE MOST IMPORTANT TASKS EFFORTLESS

The intricacy of modern life has created a false dichotomy between things that are 'hard and important,' and those that are 'easy and trivial.' Everything has become so much harder than it ought to be. But, Greg McKeown, bestselling author of Essentialism, says, there is a third alternative. In Effortless, he offers practical strategies for making the most vital tasks the easiest ones. Honed over the better part of a decade, these strategies include:

· Asking 'What Step Can I Remove?' (accomplish more, in fewer steps)
· Having the Courage to Be Rubbish (prioritize progress over perfection)
· Deciding What 'Done' Looks Like (don't keep running after you pass the finish line)

McKeown's philosophy of essentialism has helped thousands to eliminate nonessential activities and focus on the few that really matter. Working out what is essential is the first step - making these tasks effortless is the next. Effortless will show you how.

 Erfolg im Beruf Management & Leadership

Kritikerstimmen

A good book for anyone feeling the familiar creep of overwhelm: McKeown shows us how to break down what we need to do and, building on the message of Essentialism, probably do less, but do it better.
A prescription for starting something new, making it grow, and then watching the results. It's a brilliant read for the stuck and unstuck among us.
If you're squandering energy on pointless tasks and struggling to complete what really matters, this book is your salvation. With brisk prose, great stories, and keen insights, it shows how to flip the script-and make the trivial stuff harder and the crucial stuff easier. In a world beset by burnout, Greg McKeown's work is essential.
We all pride ourselves on being hard workers, but what should we do when we want to push ourselves even harder and have reached our upper limit? In his new book, Greg McKeown offers the solution: Instead of giving up, burning out, or sacrificing our sanity, we can find an easier path. Full of simple strategies we can adopt right away, Effortless shows that achieving more doesn't have to be as hard as we make it out to be.
Every once in a while, a new book comes along at just the right moment. At a time when fear, uncertainty, and our ever-growing list of responsibilities - both at work and at home - have come to feel like much too much to handle, Greg McKeown's new book couldn't be timelier, or more necessary.
We've been taught that the more important the goal, the harder we must grind to achieve it, which leads to inevitable exhaustion and overwork. In his inspiring and important follow-up to Essentialism, Greg McKeown masterfully flips this script, arguing instead that the more essential the task, the more effortless we should make its completion. A much-needed corrective to burnout culture.
In his new book, Gregory McKeown offers advice for making the most essential activities the easiest ones - meaning you can achieve the results you want without burning out.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this audiobook! The author tackles a relatable problem that many of us face: knowing what's important, but struggling to prioritize and manage our time effectively. The message 'Less is more' resonates deeply, and I appreciate the practical insights and advice shared throughout the book. The narrator's calm and soothing voice makes it easy to absorb the content. If you're looking to simplify your life and focus on what truly matters, this book is a great listen. Highly recommended!

A good book to calm down

The book jumped around various topics making claims which often felt arbitrary. I did not feel that reading the book gave me a better insight into working effortless

Another self help book

Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.
first off, I loved Essentialism. This is one of the few books I listen to and read regularly. It had a significant impact on my life and the way I approach new things.
I am a medical doctor, pediatrician, but also tend to the ADHD spectrum and loved to jump around with my attention, say yes to everything and finish rarely anything, because it was all too much. Essentialism has helped me to change a lot.

That being said,
this book is just a new variation of the same issue, with a lot more "Silicon Valley ideology" in it, meaning everything can be planned and once you distance yourself from feeling overwhelmed, you aren't anymore. (slightly deducted).
But on the practical level, this is solely for people in the management / process design bubble.

The speaker is too much motivated and often too happy and astonished about his own thoughts, that even the simplest idea is presented as the greatest idea of all times.

recommendation: stick to the first book, and look at the work of Oliver Burkeman for a broader context and self reflection of the self management / efficiency trap world.

same same and only slightly different
