“Do you feel it, too? That relentless pressure to sample all the good
things in life? To do all the ‘right’ things? The reality is, you don’t make
progress that way. Instead, you’re in danger of spreading your efforts so thin
that you make no impact at all. Greg McKeown believes the answer lies in paring
life down to its essentials. He can’t tell you what’s essential to every life,
but he can help you find the meaning in yours.”

“In this genuine-sounding personal
effectiveness audio, Greg McKeown’s narration is compassionate, almost
meditative, and a good fit for the slowly building thoughtfulness of his
excellent book. Born in London and blessed with a pleasing voice, he has a calm
confidence that makes it easy to slow down and absorb the large and small ideas
he offers. McKeown says that, once we reclaim the choices we have about our
lives, we can become better at doing what’s essential by eliminating irrelevant
noise, accepting the reality of trade-offs, being explicit and rigorous about
our priorities, and adopting behavioral routines. None of these ideas are new,
but McKeown’s quiet delivery allows for their absorption and makes this an
audio lesson that lingers in the heart and spurs lasting change.”
