We had a social media teacher during my MA who was one of the best teachers Iโve ever had. He recommended a book in his course: Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown. I finally got around to reading it the following summer.
Itโs a simple, accessible read, yet itโs one of those books that profoundly changes the way you see and live your life. Iโm still a finger-in every-pie kind of person as you can probably tell from my posts ๐, but trust me, this version of me is still a big improvement.
Essentialism taught me to focus, cut the fluff, and improve life by subtraction rather than addition.
After my first read, I wrote to my teacher, Mr. Morin, to thank him for recommending the book and to express my regret for not having picked it up the day he mentioned it in the class.
Iโve read it several times since. I own both the e-book and the audiobook and Iโve consumed it in every form possible. Every once in a while, I find that a little โbooster doseโ of Essentialism is exactly what I need.
