Effortless

Greg McKeown takes on the holy grail of human performance: How can we make it easier to get the right things done?

Is there a goal you want to make progress on, if only you had the energy? Do you assume that anything worth doing must take tremendous effort? Have you ever abandoned a hard but important activity for an easy but trivial one? Are you often overwhelmed by the complexity that's expanding everywhere?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you might be making life much harder for yourself than it needs to be.

In Effortless, McKeown offers proven strategies for making the most important activities the easiest ones. For example:

- Streamline your process by mapping out the minimum number of steps.

- Prevent problems later by solving them before they happen.

- Let Go of perfectionism by finding the "courage to be rubbish."

- Accelerate your learning by leveraging the best of what others know.

By making the toughest tasks just a little bit easier, we can accomplish more of what matters, without burning out.
