The Power of Less: The Fine Art of Limiting Yourself to the Essential...in Business and in Life Audiobook

" I am currently on a Leo Babauta kick. First, I discovered his ZenHabits.net site, then Zen to Done, then this book. Each seem to advocate a message to prioritize tasks that actually help you accomplish your goals instead of just busy work. It's a message I constantly need to be reminded of. "

" It's an excellent book and I personally recommend for all. The book show us ways to live a clutter free, yet a powerful and successful life. "

" It was fine. Nothing new really if you've read any books on organizing. I was hoping for more philosophy on simplicity but oh well. "

" This book helps one realize just how inefficient and dissatisfied we have become due to constantly multitasking and forever being "connected". It provides the reader with some ideas suggesting how one can refocus their efforts to become more productive and actually enjoy what they do. I found it a very easy read with applicable suggestions that I have started to incorporate into my own life. "

" Very usable and implementable "

" What a great complement to David Allen's "Getting Things Done." "

" This book has some great suggestions for streamlining and organizing your world so that you can focus on the things that are actually important to you. It's kind of fun to implement some of its suggestions. "

" Much like a David Allen book, just less detail on how! "

" Rating: 6/10 "

" it was what i needed to hear/read. but it is probably not for everyone. "

" I read this book multiple times. It is a great reference to re-organizing your life as you continue to evolve. "

" It is like a summary of the Zen Habits blog. "

" Have been a follower of his blog for years, but liked that all the material was condensed for me into one read. "

" There were some good thoughts here. A lot in regards to health and general organization (home & office) I already do. This is probably a better book for someone just starting out on this path. But still, I did find some useful suggestions that I plan to utilize. "

" A must-read book on spirituality in self development for knowledge workers, managers, executives, and entrepreneurs. "

" Most contents are common sense stuff. The rest are not original. "

" This is the third book by Leo Babauta that I have read. I also subscribe to Zen Habits. Though his thoughts are great, and I cannot agree more for the most part, they all seem to be the same book over and over again. "

" For all who wanna declutter their lives... "

" A good book about being focused, setting priorities, and avoiding busy-ness. "

" This book was good in that it focused in on some of the main starter principles and techniques on Babauta's website. Ultimately, I liked having a copy I could mark in. It didn't give me a million new ideas, but I think that was kind of the point:) "

" Easy to understand. Filled with tips. "

" Reading this book got me thinking & doing, so that deserves four stars. "

" Some helpful advice on making your life less simple. Short, sweet, and to the point. "

" Not a bad read; short and sweet, very self-helpy. Some of it was common sense but there were some good pieces of advice that could benefit anyone. A lot of what was in the book was also on his blog zenhabits.net. "

" Lots of practical advice. A bit repetitive for my taste. Still use most important tasks and simple task lists and those have been very helpful. "

" De mens heeft een geweldige site, en schrijft geweldig inspirerende boeken. Go Leo Babauta! "

" A good book about being focused, setting priorities, and avoiding busy-ness. "

" I like how Babauta practices what he preaches: the book is simple. It is an easy read. The principles are the same ones we keep hearing about (maybe because they are the ones that work?) and if practiced, would make life much less complicated. "

" The 1st half is a bit on the generic side, but the 2nd half, when he gets into specific areas and tips, is where the book offers really practical advices and insights. "

" It had some solid advice, but not without its flaws. I take issue with "don't think in the shower" rule. I do my best thinking in the shower. Also I'd expect more inspiring writing, and more personal stories. Instead, it was dry as a bone. "

" Provided me with quick effective practices to increase my daily productivity. Valuable for helping me define and focus on my life's goals. I use the ideas from this book just about everyday. "

" Provides good and helpful suggestions, guidelines, philosophy about prioritizing. However, it seemed kind of micro-manage-y, and by the middle, I found it tiring to read. "

" Babauta takes the Haiku-approach to organization and resource management tactics, defining best practices in as simple terms as possible (in as few pages – I should say – syllables as possible!) Take-home message: less clutter, less stress. "
