Great book. Highly recommended.
Not sure how I found this book, but very glad I did. One way I look at to determine if I’m going to give a book a five star rating is that once I start it, every other book gets set aside until I finish it. That’s what happened with me here. Great book. Well written, captivating, and timed well for what’s going on in my life right now. Subtitled “the disciplined pursuit of less”, he describes how we so often say “yes” to everything, then have so much going on in our lives that nothing ever gets our true focus and attention. How can we give our best in any area when we’re being pulled in so many different directions? We can’t. We need to identify what is truly important, learn to say no to things that don’t fit into the “essential” category, and simplify our lives. It’s a step by step program detailing how to do that, and it’s a great read. Highly recommended.
