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.

Fantastic book. I loved it!
Excuse the pun, but it’s an effortless read and full of great take aways.
Highly recommend
Great book, loved it to bits
Not new advice, found no value
The central message of simplifying your life is a valid one. But I found the book empty, cliched and overselling itself. I was playing pop psychology bingo by the end of the first chapter. “Unburden your heart”, “get rid of your toxic thought patterns”, “look for easier solutions”. Bored by the end of the second chapter. Maybe things get better after that but I doubt it. Perhaps a book for those who haven’t read any self development books before, but I didn’t find any new ideas here.
