Essentialism
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than one million copies sold! Essentialism isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done.
“A timely, essential read for anyone who feels overcommitted, overloaded, or overworked.”—Adam Grant
Have you ever:
• found yourself stretched too thin?
• simultaneously felt overworked and underutilized?
• felt busy but not productive?
• felt like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people’s agendas?
If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist.
Essentialism is more than a time-management strategy or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter.
By forcing us to apply more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy—instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us.
Essentialism is not one more thing—it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

This book helped put what is essential in my life front and center and top of mind. Even the way the book is written is simple. Great read!

Definitely recommend this book for everyone who feels overwhelmed with life at the moment. I was feeling stressed about all the things which are going on in my day to day life and this book was there for me at the right moment, so once I was reading it I understood that you can not do it ALL and that we need to choose the most important things FOR US not for someone else.

The book “Essentialism” by Greg McKeown presents a convincing argument for his solution to a problem that applies to me as a teenager. I really enjoyed it. First of all, it was easy to understand. It used language I could easily process, something uncommon in academic books. It also had a clear outline that made sense and centered on the main idea. McKeown did this by separating the book into steps and sub-steps of becoming an Essentialist. The evidence provided was also super convincing. He used powerful statistics to back up his argument and really made me want to take his advice. Further, McKeown included many convincing and relatable examples of people who practice Essentialism. The book is a bit long, but these stories keep it interesting and make it all worthwhile because they also make it easier to understand the concepts he is describing. Essentially, I would recommend “Essentialism” to other teenagers if they feel overstressed and busy.
