“Effortless: Make It Easier to Do What Matters
Most . . . gives us the much-needed permission to
take the path of least resistance. . . . In a
society that expects hard work, but then rewards hard work with
more hard work . . . Effortless is profound in its
simplicity.”—Vice
“Based on behavioral economics, philosophy, physics, and
neuroscience, in his new book, Effortless, Greg McKeown
unveils tips to working smarter, not harder. They are simple yet
brilliant strategies, and therefore easy to apply.”—Ruth Gotian,
PhD, for Forbes
“If you’re squandering energy on pointless tasks and struggling to
complete what really matters, this book is your salvation. With
brisk prose, great stories, and keen insights, it shows how to flip
the script—and make the trivial stuff harder and the crucial stuff
easier. In a world beset by burnout, Greg McKeown’s work is
essential.”—Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of
When, Drive, and To Sell Is Human
“As much as I loved Essentialism, I think Effortless is even
better—and just what the world (and at least I) desperately needs
at this moment. Many will benefit from McKeown’s wisdom and great
storytelling.”—James M. Citrin, leader, CEO Practice | Board
Practice, Spencer Stuart
“Every once in a while, a new book comes along at just the right
moment. At a time when fear, uncertainty, and our ever-growing list
of responsibilities—both at work and at home—have come to feel like
much too much to handle, Greg McKeown’s new book couldn’t be
timelier, or more necessary.”—Eve Rodsky, New York Times
bestselling author of Fair Play
“We’ve been taught that the more important the goal, the harder we
must grind to achieve it, which leads to inevitable exhaustion and
overwork. In his inspiring and important follow-up to Essentialism,
Greg McKeown masterfully flips this script, arguing instead that
the more essential the task, the more effortless we should make its
completion. A much-needed corrective to burnout culture.”—Cal
Newport, author of A World Without Email and Deep Work
“We all pride ourselves on being hard workers, but what should we
do when we want to push ourselves even harder and have reached our
upper limit? In his new book, Greg McKeown offers the solution:
Instead of giving up, burning out, or sacrificing our sanity, we
can find an easier path. Full of simple strategies we can adopt
right away, Effortless shows that achieving more doesn’t have to be
as hard as we make it out to be.”—Arianna Huffington, founder and
CEO of Thrive Global
