The Power of Less

The Power of Less: The Fine Art of Limiting Yourself to the Essential…In Business and In Life by Leo Babauta

Lately I have been quite intrigued by the concept of living a more simple life. I enjoyed Babauta’s view point on this.

I am a compulsive goal setter. I have a spreadsheet with over 100 life goals. This book helped me narrow those down a bit and also encouraged me to focus on one goal at a time. The focusing part is really hard! But I’m making some progress.

Some of the ideas weren’t for me, but overall I would recommend this to others looking to cut some clutter and achieve goals.
