BATB score: 7/10 🆕
Greg McKeown's 3rd book (2021) after his huge global success with BATB's fav "Essentialism" (2014) and, though less famous, yet another one of BATB's fav "Multipliers" (2010); a true example of less (with the right few) is more 👏
Best to: read Greg McKeown's "Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less" (2014) first and foremost; no questions ask
Best for: anyone who can relate to this statement, “we are conditioned over the course of our lifetimes to believe that in order to overachieve we must also overdo"; please know that overworking is not what cool kids do
Best as: Part I of III of this book was awesome madness #legit #gamechanger and then it just went downhill from there 😭
BATB lingering thought from the book: why do we say that our success was from blood, sweat, and tears? imagine saying that our success was from laughter, hugs, and fun. why does it always have to be hard?
Best quotes: "What's the simplest way to achieve this results?"
"Don't underestimate the power of the right soundtrack to ditch the drudgery and get into a groove."
"After I complain I will say something I am thankful for."
"The best thing one can do when it is raining, is to let it rain."
"You develop a reputation once, but then opportunities flow to you for years."
"Life doesn't have to be as hard and complicated as we make it."
