Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown

BATB score: 8/10

BATB re-read, still epic and critical 👏

Best as: a reminder to us all that it is a choice “just because I was invited didn’t seem a good enough reason to attend”

Best for: don’t be that person on your deathbed regretting “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.”

Best to: how to say no gracefully “I am flattered that you thought of me but I’m afraid I don’t have the bandwidth.” or “I would very much like to but I’m overcommitted.”

Best quotes: “If you don’t prioritize your life, someone else will.”

“If one’s life is simple, contentment has to come. Simplicity is extremely important for happiness.”
