Greg McKeown shares an excerpt from his book, Effortless: Make It Easy to Do What Matters\nEpisode 1985: An Excerpt From the Book "Effortless: Make It Easy to Do What Matters" by Greg McKeown\nAs high-achievers, we\u2019ve been conditioned to believe that the path to success is paved with relentless work. That if we want to overachieve, we have to overexert, overthink, and overdo. That if we aren\u2019t perpetually exhausted, we\u2019re not doing enough.\nBut lately, working hard is more exhausting than ever. And the more depleted we get, the harder it is to make progress.\xa0Stuck in an endless loop of \u201cZoom, eat, sleep, repeat,\u201d\xa0we\u2019re often working twice as hard to achieve half as much.\nGetting ahead doesn\u2019t have to be as hard as we make it. No matter what challenges or obstacles we face, there is a better way: instead of pushing ourselves harder,\xa0we can find an easier path. Effortless\xa0offers actionable advice for\xa0making the most essential activities the easiest ones,\xa0so you can achieve the results you want, without burning out.\xa0\xa0\xa0\nMore about the book can be found here: https://gregmckeown.com/books/effortless/\xa0\n\xa0Visit Me Online at OLDPodcast.com\xa0\nInterested in advertising\xa0on the show?
