Accelerate your learning by leveraging the best of what others know.īy making the toughest tasks just a little bit easier, we can accomplish more of what matters, without burning out. Let Go of perfectionism by finding the "courage to be rubbish." Prevent problems later by solving them before they happen. Streamline your process by mapping out the minimum number of steps. In Effortless, McKeown offers proven strategies for making the most important activities the easiest ones.
The problem, he's found, is that the complexity of modern life has created a false dichotomy between things that are "essential and hard," and things that are "easy and trivial." But what if the trivial tasks became harder and the essential ones became easier? If the important projects became enjoyable, while the trivial distractions lost their appeal entirely? He's since talked with thousands of readers about the challenges they face in putting those ideas into practice. In the New York Times bestseller Essentialism, Greg McKeown urged readers to eliminate nonessential activities and focus on the few that truly matter. If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you might be making life much harder for yourself than it needs to be. Is there a goal you want to make progress on, if only you had the energy? Do you assume that anything worth doing must take tremendous effort? Have you ever abandoned a hard but important activity for an easy but trivial one? Are you often overwhelmed by the complexity that's expanding everywhere? “…but what it all boils down to is three words that don’t mean nearly enough… I love you.The New York Times bestselling author of Essentialism takes on the holy grail of human performance: How can we make it easier to get the right things done? In fact, for a long time, I thought this was the end of the series, and if it was, I would have been 100% happy with how things ended. This book make me cry several times – usually happy tears or just very emotional tears… its just a really really beautiful story!!Īlso, its important to note that even though there IS a third book coming out (*squeeeeeee*), this book ends with a very happy, completely satisfying ending.
“ … if for some reason we’re not closer, if something has gotten between us, please, I’m begging you…don’t give up on me. Both issues are valid and its up to the both of them to prove to each other that their love for each other is strong enough to overcome any barrier that is thrown in their way and that they are each worthy of each other’s trust.Īnd the notes (!!!!!!) *dies* I don’t want to spoil too much but basically when he goes, he leaves all these notes everywhere for her to find and they just melted my heart!! So its all about her learning to trust him (since he has quite the man-whoring past and he’s an insanely hot rock star who is on every girl’s f*ck-me list lol), while he has to learn to trust her in his absence because even though in book 1 she was cheating on Denny to be with him – the love of her life, she still showed herself to be the kind of girl who could cheat. Kellan’s rock band is getting some national recognition and he ends up having to go on tour for several months but Keira can’t come because of school. Keira and Kellan are finally and officially a couple, but they have a lot to deal with. “ Loving you, Kellan, is so easy, it’s effortless.” His smile matched mine, then I frowned and sighed “Trusting you…that’s the hard part.” Oh god – this book just wrenched my heart out in an AMAZING way! In fact, I’m sure it even stopped entirely a few times!! I liked it even more than book 1 and thats saying a lot cuz I looooved Thoughtless. “That I’m yours… that you can take me… anywhere, anytime, anyway.
