Have you ever found yourself struggling with information overload?Have you ever felt both overworked and underutilised?Do you ever feel busy but not productive?If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is to become an Essentialist.In Essentialism, Greg McKeown, CEO of a Leadership and Strategy agency in Silicon Valley who has run courses at Apple, Google and Facebook, shows you how to achieve what he calls the disciplined pursuit of less. Being an Essentialist is about a disciplined way of thinking. It means challenging the core assumption of ‘We can have it all’ and ‘I have to do everything’ and replacing it with the pursuit of ‘the right thing, in the right way, at the right time'.By applying a more selective criteria for what is essential, the pursuit of less allows us to regain control of our own choices so we can channel our time, energy and effort into making the highest possible contribution toward the goals and activities that matter.Using the experience and insight of working with the leaders of the most innovative companies and organisations in the world, McKeown shows you how to put Essentialism into practice in your own life, so you too can achieve something great.

The New York Times bestselling author of Essentialism takes on the holy grail of human performance: How can we make it easier to get the right things done?Is there a goal you want to make progress on, if only you had the energy? Do you assume that anything worth doing must take tremendous effort? Have you ever abandoned a hard but important activity for an easy but trivial one? Are you often overwhelmed by the complexity that's expanding everywhere?If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you might be making life much harder for yourself than it needs to be.In the New York Times bestseller Essentialism, Greg McKeown urged readers to eliminate nonessential activities and focus on the few that truly matter. He's since talked with thousands of readers about the challenges they face in putting those ideas into practice. The problem, he's found, is that the complexity of modern life has created a false dichotomy between things that are "essential and hard," and things that are "easy and trivial." But what if the trivial tasks became harder and the essential ones became easier? If the important projects became enjoyable, while the trivial distractions lost their appeal entirely?In Effortless, McKeown offers proven strategies for making the most important activities the easiest ones. For example: - Streamline your process by mapping out the minimum number of steps. - Prevent problems later by solving them before they happen. - Let Go of perfectionism by finding the "courage to be rubbish." - Accelerate your learning by leveraging the best of what others know.By making the toughest tasks just a little bit easier, we can accomplish more of what matters, without burning out.

Essentialism The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, Deep Work, So Good They Cant Ignore You 3 Books Collection Set. Description:- Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less In Essentialism, Greg McKeown, CEO of a Leadership and Strategy agency in Silicon Valley who has run courses at Apple, Google and Facebook, shows you how to achieve what he calls the disciplined pursuit of less. Being an Essentialist is about a disciplined way of thinking. It means challenging the core assumption of ‘We can have it all’ and ‘I have to do everything’ and replacing it with the pursuit of ‘the right thing, in the right way, at the right time'. Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World Many modern knowledge workers now spend most of their brain power battling distraction and interruption, whether because of the incessant pinging of devices, noisy open-plan offices or the difficulty of deciding what deserves your attention the most.When Cal Newport coined the term 'deep work' on his popular blog, Study Hacks, in 2012, he found the concept quickly hit a nerve. Most of us, after all, are excruciatingly familiar with shallow work instead - distractedly skimming the surface of our workload and never getting to the important part. So Good They Can't Ignore You Cal Newport's clearly-written manifesto flies in the face of conventional wisdom by suggesting that it should be a person's talent and skill - and not necessarily their passion - that determines their career path.Newport, who graduated from Dartmouth College (Phi Beta Kappa) and earned a PhD. from MIT, contends that trying to find what drives us, instead of focusing on areas in which we naturally excel, is ultimately harmful and frustrating to job seekers.

The One Thing: YOU WANT LESS.You want fewer distractions and less on your plate. The daily barrage of e-mails, texts, tweets, messages, and meetings distract you and stress you out.

Coined by author and professor Cal Newport on his popular blog Study Hacks, deep work will make you better at what you do, let you achieve more in less time and provide the sense of true fulfilment that comes from the mastery of a skill. Getting Things Done: Since it was first published almost fifteen years ago, David Allen's Getting Things Done has become one of the most influential business books of its era, and the ultimate book on personal organization. 'GTD' is now shorthand for an entire way of approaching professional and personal tasks, and has spawned an entire culture of websites, organizational tools, seminars, and offshoots.
Ile razy zgodziłeś się spełnić czyjąś prośbę, nawet się nad tym nie zastanawiając? Ile razy żałowałeś, że zgłosiłeś się do realizacji jakiegoś zadania, a potem zastanawiałeś się, co cię do tego podkusiło? Jak często mówisz „tak” tylko po to, żeby sprawić komuś przyjemność? Albo uniknąć kłopotów? Albo dlatego, że „tak” stało się twoją automatyczną odpowiedzią na wszystko?Droga esencjalizmu nie polega na powzięciu postanowienia noworocznego, by częściej mówić „nie”, zmniejszyć ilość napływającej korespondencji albo opanować nową strategię zarządzania czasem. Chodzi w niej o to, żeby jak najczęściej zatrzymywać się i odpowiadać sobie na pytanie, czy inwestujemy swoje siły i zasoby w odpowiednie przedsięwzięcia.

In Essentialisme laat Greg McKeown zien dat succes niet gaat over meer doen in minder tijd, maar over het focussen op de belangrijkste zaken. Kort minder, maar beter. Essentialisme gaat over het terugbrengen van de overvloed aan informatie, vragen en indrukken tot de essentie. Wat is nou echt belangrijk; waar moet je werkelijk je aandacht en energie aan besteden? In dit boek legt Greg McKeown op heldere wijze uit hoe je gedisciplineerd kunt streven naar minder. In plaats van 'ik moet ieder probleem oplossen' draait het om 'op het juiste moment alleen de juiste dingen doen'. Dit boek heeft al honderdduizenden levens veranderd, en met de praktische inzichten in deze herziene editie, krijg ook jij de tools om je leven effectiever en bewuster in te richten.
