This book preaches essentialism well, but I think it could be more concise.

It helps me a lot in my progress, in my life, of current situation, and in my way of thinking.

とても効果ありました.この値段でここまでの物が届いたのでとても満足です

たしかに殆どのことは自分の目標には関係ないことではある。 この本にはすごく当たり前のことが書いてあります。 というか7つの習慣とかぶっている内容が多い気がしました。 やっぱりこういった本は7つの習慣に帰ってくるんですね

仕事、日常生活の上で、余計な事ばかり気にして、「Non-Essentialist」になってしまっている自分に気づきます。 自分にとって今本当に必要な事は何か、わからせてくれる本です。

Essentialism presents a valuable idea: the importance of prioritization and deliberate focus in an increasingly noisy world. However, the book feels stretched far beyond its natural weight. Rather than deep exploration, the author relies heavily on repetitive personal anecdotes, moralistic but vague advice, and name-dropping of historical figures with little critical analysis. While the initial concept is inspiring, the execution lacks rigor and depth—closer to an extended TED Talk than a serious philosophical or practical work. Those looking for a thoughtful, systemic exploration of living intentionally may find themselves frustrated by the simplicity and padding. Useful if you want a reminder to "prioritize," but not satisfying if you seek real structural wisdom or growth.

Nice quality. Really excited to read this book. Thanks to Amazon for quick delivery.

Our world seems to be moving faster and faster. We are bombarded by endless information and rapidly multiplying demands on our time and attention. Many people struggle to cope with their bottomless to-do lists and their ever-expanding to-read piles. As a consequence, many people feel scattered or even burned out. In “Essentialism”, Grey McKeown provides an antidote by arguing that we should focus on the essential. Thereby, we can concentrate our efforts on the things that truly matter and ignore all of the noise. He goes into practical advice and illustrates the approach of the essentialist to many of life’s quandaries. The book is highly readable because of the many case examples that will resonate with many readers. The chapters are also kept short and to the point. That makes it easy to absorb the main message. However, I thought that book boiled down to a few central points that can be summarised in a page or two. However, this might be because I read quite a few books on similar topics and was, therefore, familiar with the content of some of the chapters. For instance, Deep Work by Cal Newport and Make Time by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky cover similar ground. Altogether, I think the book is an excellent choice for anyone who feels on the edge of burn-out and wants to take some time to reflect on a better approach to work and life.

Akıcı, bir kitap ve faydalı buldum.
