About this audiobook

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The problem with constantly trying to increase volume is that it doesn’t always produce the best results. Doing more things means you’re likely to do a lot of unimportant things, and you’ll be overworked and stressed at the same time. #2 The Japanese poetry known as the haiku has a couple of lessons to teach us about why less is powerful. The haiku is a nature-related poem of just seventeen syllables written in three lines. It requires the poet to convey an entire idea or image in only those seventeen syllables. #3 When it comes to your work life, you can be like the first reporter and crank out lots of tasks, which will likely get you a lot done. However, you can also be like the second reporter and choose to do fewer things but with more impact. #4 The lessons of the haiku, such as applying limitations to force choices, and choosing the essential and finding the Power of Less, can be applied to your life in general. If there is anything in your life that is overwhelming you, apply limitations.
