#77: Essentialism with New York Times Bestseller Greg McKeown

Greg Mckeown - Essentialism

Today we explore the disciplined pursuit of less!

Greg McKeown and I get into a great conversation today about reclaiming control of your world and deciding where you invest time and energy.

You’ll learn how eliminating everything that is not essential, can allow you to make the highest possible contribution towards the things that really matter the most.

Originally from London, England, Greg is the author of the New York Times bestseller, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less and the founder of McKeown, Inc., a company with a mission to teach Essentialism to millions of people around the world. His clients include Adobe, Apple, Airbnb, Cisco, Google, Facebook, Pixar, SalesForce, Symantec, Twitter, VMware and Yahoo!.

Greg is an accomplished public speaker and has spoken to hundreds of audiences in Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, China, England, Holland, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Norway, Singapore, South Africa and the United States.

In 2012 he was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum. Greg now lives in Silicon Valley with his wife and their four children.

I can personally say that Greg’s book had a profound impact on the way I see life. I’m a raving fan.
