182. Cambridge Series – Newton

Isaac Newton's "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica" is a landmark work in physics, laying the foundation for classical mechanics. Newton presents his three laws of motion, explaining the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. He also introduces the law of universal gravitation, describing the attractive force between any two objects with mass. The Principia revolutionized our understanding of the physical world, providing a mathematical framework for describing celestial and terrestrial motion. Its impact on science and technology has been profound and enduring.

In 'Effortless', Greg McKeown offers practical tools and strategies for achieving more with less effort. The book is organized into three parts: the effortless state, effortless action, and effortless results. McKeown argues that not everything has to be hard and provides methods for turning tedious tasks into enjoyable rituals, preventing frustration, setting a sustainable pace, and automating essential tasks. His philosophy emphasizes the importance of finding easier ways to accomplish what matters most, rather than perpetually overexerting oneself.

In 'Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less,' Greg McKeown argues that by applying a more selective criteria for what is essential, individuals can regain control of their time and energy. The book is divided into sections such as Explore, Eliminate, and Execute, providing practical advice on distinguishing the vital few from the trivial many and eliminating non-essential activities. McKeown emphasizes the importance of clarity of focus, the ability to say 'no,' and living 'by design, not by default. ' This approach helps readers achieve more by doing less and making the highest possible contribution in their personal and professional lives.
