Description
Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, written by Greg McKeown, is a practical guide for reclaiming focus in a world overwhelmed by noise, options, and obligations. First published in 2014, the book introduces Essentialism as a disciplined approach to life and work—doing fewer things, but doing them better.
McKeown challenges the assumption that success comes from doing more. Instead, he argues that clarity, selectivity, and intentional trade-offs are the foundation of meaningful progress. Through research, case studies, and actionable insights, the book teaches readers how to identify what is essential, eliminate distractions, and create systems that support deliberate execution.
Rather than promoting productivity for its own sake, Essentialism emphasizes alignment, choice, and sustainable results. It is widely used by leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, and teams seeking better outcomes with less stress and burnout.
