Essentialism with Greg McKeown: The Priorities Problem, Creating Space, and Your Highest Contribution

You probably fall into the same trap I do. Over, and over, and over …

It's the siren call of priorities. The thought that you can have more than one priority – a foreign concept for centuries that has somehow made its way into the mainstream.

Can you create the space you need to discern what's most important when your daily to-do list has ten ranked items? Can you make your highest contribution, the one only you can make, when you're juggling more than a circus clown?

The answer to these questions is a resounding no according to my guest for this episode, Greg McKeown, the respected author of Essentialism.

Here's a person and a philosophy that does more than take it back to the basics. Greg and the way of the Essentialist intentionally moves things forward so you discern what's most important.

Bigger, faster, and busier has been a long-time mistaken path to fulfillment and it's not working for you and me. How about less, but better instead?

Just press play and enjoy this fascinating chat with a fascinating fella.
