Howdy friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Greg McEwan, he's a public speaker, leadership and business strategist and an author.

We're talking about how to make life effortless.

Is the toughest path always the right one?

Is the more important thing is the harder it has to be?

Or is there a way to make the execution of what matters most in your life a little easier?

That is the topic of Greg's new book, Effortless.

So today, expect to learn why the usefulness of working more runs out quicker than you might think.

How Effortless relates to essentialism, why burnout is not a bad jivanna,

how to decide what done looks like, how to build the courage to be rubbish,

how to get the highest return on your least effort, and much more.

Greg's first book, essentialism, is the place to start, that I tell people to begin with when they're starting their self-development and productivity learning career.

But I do think that that book falls short in certain areas.

You can get rid of all of the non-essentials from your life and yet still have too much on your plate.

So this is where Effortless slots in. It allows you to see that working harder, doing more, banging your head against the grindstone isn't always necessarily, or even often, the correct solution.

I really like the stuff that Greg goes through today and if you're a fan of essentialism, you're going to adore this.

If you're not a fan of essentialism, you need to go and pick it up because it is a fantastic book.
