Book Club: Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less (Greg McKeown)
Steve might have too many things going on.
“Essentialism” by Greg McKeown provides ideas on how to focus your efforts on the things that truly matter.
Along the way, Tyler and Steve discuss a few aphorisms to jumpstart your thinking. “No is a complete sentence.” “Less but better.” “Half of the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough.”
