1985: An Excerpt From the Book "Effortless: Make It Easy to Do What Matters" by Greg McKeown
Greg McKeown shares an excerpt from his book, Effortless: Make It Easy to Do What MattersEpisode 1985: An Excerpt From the Book "Effortless: Make It Easy to Do What Matters" by Greg McKeownAs high-achievers, we’ve been conditioned to believe that the path to success is paved with relentless work. That if we want to overachieve, we have to overexert, overthink, and overdo. That if we aren’t perpetually exhausted, we’re not doing enough.But lately, working hard is more exhausting than ever. And the more depleted we get, the harder it is to make progress. Stuck in an endless loop of “Zoom, eat, sleep, repeat,” we’re often working twice as hard to achieve half as much.Getting ahead doesn’t have to be as hard as we make it. No matter what challenges or obstacles we face, there is a better way: instead of pushing ourselves harder, we can find an easier path. Effortless offers actionable advice for making the most essential activities the easiest ones, so you can achieve the results you want, without burning out.
