It’s safe to say we’ve all had seasons in our lives where maybe we’ve felt busy but not productive. Or maybe overwhelmed by all we’re doing or that is expected of us, while feeling that our true talent and potential goes unutilized. Greg McKeown tackles these conundrums by helping us master the “disciplined pursuit of less.”
