5.0 out of 5 starsThe Effortless path to achieving mastery & success!
Reviewed in India on 9 July 2021
I followed up reading Essentialism with Effortless: Make it easier to do what matters, both by Greg McKeown. The author has come up with yet another superhit of a book through Effortless. The key concept of the book is to breakdown executing tasks in an effortless manner by understanding what constitutes the "effortless state", how we can take "effortless action", and how we can guarantee "effortless results". Breaking up each of these buckets into simple, easy-to-understand sub-buckets filled with examples and historical anecdotes, Greg once again, proves himself to be the master storyteller

As with Essentialism, Greg displays great humility and vulnerability in sharing deep, personal experiences that will resonate with readers. He explains how tough & challenging situations can be substituted, with the right mindset & approach, with enjoyable & successful outcomes. Most importantly, Greg emphasizes time and again that achieving Effortless results does not equal taking shortcuts, rather a scientific approach to curbing distractions, focusing on efficiency & effectiveness, and a positive outlook to life's situations thrown at us. Greatly loved the read and look forward to another book by Greg

I would recommend reading these books in order and next to each other as the learning, retention, and application can be easily doubled by combining the practical aspects of Essentialism & Effortless action!

1.0 out of 5 starsVery Poor Quality paper
Reviewed in India on 12 May 2021
Product received damaged cover and paper quality very poor brownish and look & feels like poorly recycled tissue paper. Preordered this book and am left feeling very disappointed. The book itself, is an excellent one. The good part of this poor quality is that I can scribble notes on it without feeling bad.

2.0 out of 5 stars Effortless
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2021

I was expecting more from this book hoping it could give some pratical tools to handle procastination and "perfection paralysis". I found the book has only some practical insight in session 2 while most of the chapters have fillers story to make the text long enough. The recap table at the end of each session are more than enough to understand the main messages on each of the chapters and that is only 2 pages. The suggestions were pretty basic and known and seemed more a collection of other books concepts.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing at best.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 May 2021

You have to go 41% into the book to learn that :
"In order to succeed at something, you have to get it done". Yes... No Sh..t Sherlock.

A few good things but this read as something written in haste with no other plan than to fill in spaces. Or the plan has been written at the end and the content has been forced into it. A bit ironic for a book that pretends to show you how to simplify and clarify. There is no method.
A good point for mentioning Eckhart Tolle. If you want to simplify, start with what is in your head and Tolle ( The Power of Now) is just doing that brilliantly. I agree.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing really new
Reviewed in Germany on 27 June 2021

I loved the other author's book "Essentialism" and thought this would also be a great book, full of new, brilliant ideas. But as a person interested in personal development since years, there wasn't anything really new.
I would also appreciate new examples, I can't stand anymore "if you hate exercise, run while listening to a podcast". A little less "effortless" would have made the book better

I loved "Essentialism" and was so looking forward to this book but it felt like it was put together from paragraph summaries of other popular self-help books. Disappointing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lack of novelty and value for money
Reviewed in the United States on 17 May 2021

The book has some good ideas, examples, quotes, and illustrations.
But for the most part it's paraphrasing the old and existing ideas, without giving them much of a new spin, so if you've already consumed a decent amount of time management advice and philosophy, then you'll not get much out of it. The book serves as a good reminder of some of these ideas I suppose, and at the end of each chapter you'll find a list of actionable steps around the ideas from that chapter.

With that said, I would unapologetically refund this book if not for the fact that I've started reading it after the refund window had closed. It's been marketed well, but is hardly worth the 20+ bucks.
