81. What's Essential: Q&A on How to Discern More and Do Less


Listen Later

Discernment is at the core of what it means to be an Essentialist. 

It helps us sort through the trivial many and identify the essential few. It allows us to see things as they really are. It guides our intuition, helping us make decisions and take actions that really matter.

Join me and my wife Anna as we discuss how we can become better at discerning the world around us.  

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Recognizing the inklings of discernment
  • Trusting your intuition
  • How to develop discernment in the different areas of your life
