Essentialism (Greg McKeown)

£4.00

Essentialism by Greg McKeown argues that success comes not from doing more, but from doing what truly matters. The book promotes the disciplined pursuit of less but better — identifying what is essential, eliminating what is not, and focusing time and energy on the highest-value activities. By embracing deliberate trade-offs and protecting space for deep work, Essentialism offers a practical path to greater clarity, effectiveness, and meaningful progress.

Essentialism by Greg McKeown argues that success comes not from doing more, but from doing what truly matters. The book promotes the disciplined pursuit of less but better — identifying what is essential, eliminating what is not, and focusing time and energy on the highest-value activities.

  • From a GLAS Method perspective, Essentialism strongly aligns with Harnessing Awareness, Discovering Meaning, and Leveraging Direction. Awareness helps individuals recognise overload and misalignment; meaning clarifies what truly matters; direction ensures effort is intentionally focused rather than reactively scattered.

    The practice is strengthened through Holding Focus, Simply Effective, and House In Order. By removing clutter — mental, relational, and operational — Essentialism creates space for deep work, quality decisions, and sustainable performance. GLAS reinforces that simplicity is not reduction for its own sake, but clarity in service of impact.

    Finally, Essentialism supports Manage Your Energy, Alignment, and Compound Impact. When effort is focused on essentials, energy is preserved, decisions compound, and progress becomes sustainable rather than exhausting. Over time, small, essential actions create disproportionate results.
