Summary

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the mixed messages society gives us about what it means to live well.  We hear that there are so many things we should do--enjoy the moment, dream big, get up before the sun, make time for everyone in our lives while having a spotless home and doing the perfect workout.  


Well, what if you could do what matters in your life, skip the things that don’t and be a person again?  You can, according to our guest, Kendra Adachi, founder of “The Lazy Genius” movement and author of the New York Times bestseller, The Lazy Genius Way: Embrace What Matters, Ditch What Doesn't, and Get Stuff Done .
