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.

Could be better
I wanted to like this book, first book I’ve read by this author but it’s too broad and not deep enough in many areas.
If you’re already successful you’ll know most of the advice served, it’s too generic and sometimes a little condescending.
If you’re struggling to make ends meet this book has little to offer that will change your life in any significant way.
I could not read this book as a paperback or digital book but as an audio book whilst out walking it scapes past the half way mark.
But I will read/listen to his previous book that was big hit.
