Hi my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the daily motivation show.

Essentialism is about rethinking prioritization, what really matters, and figuring out what is essential.

Effortless is a cousin to that, and that's about rethinking simplification which is that sometimes

we just make getting great results breaking through to the next level harder

than it needs to be. Yeah.

So it's not saying, hey, you should never work and you should never work hard and you should

never put an effort.

I believe that you're supposed to put an effort.

The point is if you can't work any harder you've got to find an

easier path and yet in a grind culture sometimes people start to get burned out and their

answer is push even harder rather than think different, think smarter, find an alternative

route. The book structure, the model is to have an effortless state, like three

concentric circles, effortless state, effortless action,

then effortless results.

And that's sort of like three books in one.

Each of them can make your life

and the results you get easier to get.

You want to first remove all the complexity in your mind, in your heart that makes life more frustrating than it ought to be.

So simplifying your state I think is a huge return on investment. If you can

let go of a grudge, if you can let go of something that you keep on draining you, there's just more of you on offer. And that's not through

grinding effort, that's through just removing burdens. You don't have to be

hauling up the mountain at all. So you're simplifying all of your, you're basically all of that clutter that's in your mind.
