FOMO Sapiens with Patrick J. McGinnis

29. Live More Effortlessly with Greg McKeown

Do you struggle to find the balance between hard work and burnout? Does it sometimes seem impossible to get it all done? Once you’ve hit a wall and you strip away all the non-essentials, does it still seem too much? Then it’s time for a new approach.
That’s exactly what author Greg McKeown discusses in his new book Effortless: Making it Easy to Do What Matters.

Greg shares strategies and practices to avoid physical and mental burnout while cultivating an effortless state of focus, smarter productivity, and, most importantly, long-term sustainability.
