profound in its simplicity."-Vice

"Every once in a while, a new book comes along at just the right
moment. At a time when fear, uncertainty, and our ever-growing list
of responsibilities-both at work and at home-have come to feel like
much too much to handle, Greg McKeown's new book couldn't be
timelier, or more necessary."-Eve Rodsky, New York Times
bestselling author of Fair Play
"We've been taught that the more important the goal, the harder we
must grind to achieve it, which leads to inevitable exhaustion and
overwork. In his inspiring and important follow-up to Essentialism,
Greg McKeown masterfully flips this script, arguing instead that
the more essential the task, the more effortless we should make its
completion. A much-needed corrective to burnout culture."-Cal
Newport, author of A World Without Email and Deep
Work

can find an easier path. Full of simple strategies we can adopt
right away, Effortless shows that achieving more doesn't have to be
as hard as we make it out to be."-Arianna Huffington, founder
and CEO of Thrive
