Welcome to What Drives You. I'm Kevin Miller in this episode, Essentialism, How to Discover

and Get Rid of the Fluff in your life. So every Monday, I bring you an author with a new book.

guru. He did it really fast on essentialism. It's a brilliant book, brilliant topic and

brilliant covering of it. And it got us all asking, what is essentialism? I wanted to know,

target, we divest ourselves of non-necessities, and we do what is most efficient, effective,

and successful. So you can really live in the moment like that.

That was kind of my question.

Can you?

Well, let's see.

Hey, when I'm not having these conversations about human potential, I'm working directly

with humans on their human potential.

You can connect with me at Kevin Miller.co about that.
