Essentialism Book Summary by Greg McKeown Book Summary Essentialism, by Greg McKeown Book Rating by Shortform Readers: 4.6 ( 198 reviews) We feel constantly pressed for time. So as a self-help book, I have to say this really succeeds, and I’m glad that I read it. This is something that I think can really help a person force themselves to decide what their true goals and true missions in their life are. It essentially reaffirmed what I already thought, but at the same time gave some very specific suggestions about how to really embrace essentialism and pursue a life of more focus and a less scattershot approach. The most important skills that you have and the things you most want to do. And in order to do a really good job at something, I think it is important at some point to focus your attentions on the most important things. We can’t all do everything spectacularly. So I think that this is a really good book for anybody and everybody to read, because these days there’s so much emphasis on working hard, doing everything, the whole “DIY, everything has to be done by you, hands-on” culture. What I’m trying to say is you’re trying to pursue fewer goals in the hope that by focusing on the most important ones, you do a better job at them. It isn’t even so much about pursuing fewer things, although I think that is part of essentialism, possibly. The title is Essentialism and the subtitle is The Disciplined Pursuit of Less. The Five Big Ideas Only once you give yourself permission to stop trying to do it all, to stop saying yes to everyone, can you make your highest contribution towards the things. It did help me kind of think more about what is most important to me in my life. Essentialism is a disciplined, systematic approach for determining where our highest point of contribution lies, then making execution of those things almost effortless. Today, I’m reviewing Essentialism by Greg McKeown.
