Summary

As we head into a new year, I, like perhaps many of you, am feeling pulled to get back to basics--back to the essence of my life and what I want and the work that is most essential for me to be doing, both inside and outside my home. That's what has pulled me back to a book that I read almost a decade ago called Essentialism by Greg McKeown. He is my guest on the show next week talking about his second book, but I wanted to introduce him this week by talking about his first book, which I think is especially needed at this time of year.
