Most Plastic Surgeons are BUSY and want to do more. In this book, Greg McKeown presents an alternative for a more balanced life. The Way of the Essentialist isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s not about getting less done. It’s about getting only the right things done. It’s about challenging your assumptions like ‘we can have it all’ and ‘I have to do everything’ and replacing them with the pursuit of ‘doing the right thing, in the right way, at the right time’.
It’s about regaining control of our own choices about where to spend our time and energies instead of giving others implicit permission to choose for us.
