Greg McKeown Boeken

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 âe~We can have it allâe(tm) and âe~I have to do everythingâe(tm) and replacing it with the pursuit of âe~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.

Focusing on the principle of Essentialism, this 90-day planner encourages readers to streamline their efforts and prioritize what truly matters. It offers structured guidance to help individuals reduce distractions and enhance productivity across various aspects of life. By implementing its strategies, users can achieve more meaningful outcomes while minimizing unnecessary tasks, leading to a more fulfilling and balanced lifestyle.

As high achievers, we've been conditioned to believe that the path to success is paved with relentless work. That if we want to overachieve, we have to overexert, overthink, and overdo. That if we aren't perpetually exhausted, we're not doing enough. But lately, working hard is more exhausting than ever. And the more depleted we get, the more effort it takes to make progress. Getting ahead doesn't have to be as hard as we make it. No matter what challenges or obstacles we face, there is a better way: instead of pushing ourselves harder, we can find an easier path. This book offers actionable advice for making the most essential activities the easiest ones, so you can achieve the results you want, without burning out
