Saying “I don’t know, maybe one of these things will work for you” feels like a cop out to me. I think a book should take a stand and say something. It’s a book that says “I don’t know man, have you tried this? Or this? Or this? … etc.”. Another entry in the “throw it at the wall and see what sticks” genreĪlthough I liked Think Again (my last review) I complained that it just kind of gives you a ton of things to try, and doesn’t really give you any structure. I’m going to talk about what I didn’t like for a bit in the next few sections, then I’m going to recommend some other books you should read instead, so if you don’t care about what I didn’t like about this one and just want to learn what to read instead, feel free to skip to the last section. So I pre-ordered “effortless” and read it over the course of a few days. Essentialism is a great book, though it’s not perfect (it was about 30% longer than it should’ve been). It’s a book I have read more than once, and purchased and given to a number of people. That surprises me, because “Essentialism” by McKeown has a prominent place on my “best of” shelf.
