Summary

Have you ever sacrificed your time, energy, and sanity simply because you believed the only way to accomplish something worthwhile was through great effort? What if you could find a way to make essential things easier? Join me as I share an excerpt from my latest book, Effortless: Make It Easier to Do What Matters Most. In this episode, you’ll learn: How to simplify complex problems and find effortless solutions. Why society teaches you to distrust the easy way. And why that belief is often wrong. How to use your instincts to find an easier path. Sometimes all it takes to make a problem easier is looking at it differently. Credits: Hosted by Greg McKeown Produced by Greg McKeown and Scratch Audiohouse Executive Produced by Greg McKeown, Brent Montgomery, and Ed Simpson
