À propos de ce contenu audio
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the internationally best-selling 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, best-selling 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 (prioritise 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.

A great and enjoyable book

- try to make boring things fun
- try to find an easier way of doing things
- stay positive and don't complain
- get more sleep (night or naps)
- etc.. etc..
At no point does the author give useful techniques for really mastering any of these concepts. For example, for the chapter on making things fun, he gives examples about putting on fun music to motivate the family to wash the dishes... or get in the hot tub to make annoying phone calls. Come on... really? Another chapter is basically talking about not complaining and seeing thing in a positive light will make you happier and more productive. Ok... sure.
I dunno... there seems to be very little real research into presenting a coherent, actionable transformation plan. It's more like a bunch of motivational quotes and concepts with some related anecdotes to drive things home.
Maybe some people like this. But I felt like it didn't show much respect for the intellect of the reader/listener.
Also.. I can understand the appeal of having the writer read his own work, but only when he/she is really engaging. This author is not.
No real coherent vision
