In this book, Kendra Adachi invites readers to live well by their own definition, equipping them to be a genius about what matters and lazy about what doesn’t. The book addresses the overwhelming mixed messages of what it means to live well and provides practical advice through thirteen Lazy Genius principles. These principles include 'Decide once,' 'Start small,' 'Ask the Magic Question,' 'Go in the right order,' and 'Schedule rest,' among others. Adachi’s approach is unique in that it does not impose a one-size-fits-all solution but instead offers tools for individuals to figure out what is most important to them and focus on those aspects while letting go of the rest.
