<b>INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER </b><br><br>Have you ever felt the urge to declutter your work life?<br><br>Do you often find yourself stretched too thin?<br> <br>Do you simultaneously feel overworked and underutilized?<br> <br>Are you frequently busy but not productive?<br> <br>Do you feel like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people’s agendas?<br> <br>If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the <i>Way of the Essentialist</i><b>.</b><br> <br>The Way of the Essentialist isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting <i>only the right things</i> done.  It is not  a time management strategy, or a productivity technique. It is a <i>systematic discipline</i> for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution towards the things that really matter.  <br><br>By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy – instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us.<br><br>Essentialism is not one more thing – it’s a whole new way of doing everything. A must-read for any leader, manager, or individual who wants to do less, but better, and declutter and organize their own their lives, Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.<br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>
