Leo Babauta was an overweight salaryman who was working insanely long hours just to pay the bills, leaving no time to see his family or look after his health.  He didn’t see any light at the end of the tunnel with his job and was stressed to the max.  One day, he decided that he needed to make radical change since he’s been mired in anxiety for as long as he could remember and his life hasn’t been getting better for years.  Eventually, he broke out of this quagmire through many hard decisions and drastic life changes one step at a time.  The lessons he learned from his journey to simplify his life were eventually documented in his 2009 best-selling book: The Power of Less.

 

The Power of Less: A Book on Doing More with Less

 

If you’re constantly feeling overwhelmed with anxiety inducing thoughts racing through your mind at all hours of the day, then this book is for you.  It’s not gonna be easy learning about doing more with less, but this is one of the most systematic and pragmatic plans I’ve even seen.  You will learn how to limit the # of projects on your plate and conquer your to-do list one item at a time instead of wasting so much time and energy spinning wheels and not taking action.

 

Having way too much to do and not having the time or resources to accomplish everything that’s expected of us at a satisfactory level seems to be an ubiquitous problem that’s only getting worse by the minute in the modern world today.  If we were to try to obediently do everything that’s expected, we’ll most likely burn ourselves out and make lots of people unhappy delivering subpar results.  Instead, we must only take on the most crucial tasks and/or goals we’re best suited to accomplish.  This book will teach you how to renegotiate our external AND internal expectations and focus our limited resources to where we can make the most impact.
