The list goes on and on with things that come and try to grasp hold of our precious time, most of the times for the purpose of making a profit.
Another task at work, another cute video of an animal doing something, another new cell phone model, another fad, another new fitness program, etc. Towards things that are not essential in their core.
In a society, overloaded with information, we are constantly drawn towards trivial stuff. For that, it’s a really useful read for all of us that tend to go big and try to fit everything into a day that would not be enough even if it lasted for 48 hours. It borderlines in many aspects with the lean theory of doing only the essential that add value, without wasting anything. I think that apart from some points where I just disagree by character, on all the other levels, this book offerred a really useful insight for a hyper-active person like me (not only my opinion but that of my family, friends & colleagues). This book is about concentrating your power, energy, mind and soul if you will, on the things that matter, on the things that add value. It’s not as provocative as the Rework one, but still it contains some views that are not what you would say “the status quo”.
Overall, this is a really nicely written book and also really interesting. Being a big fan of the motto “less is more”, seeing this book title, I knew that I had to get my hands on it! So, just a few days after the previous book review called ReWork, I got my hands on it and finished reading Essentialism – The Disciplined Pursuit for Less.
