The Power of Less

At a time when our lives are becoming fuller and faster and we tend to accumulate more and more stuff, this book comes as a refreshing breath of air. It encourages readers to identify the essential and eliminate the rest, using six principles: set limitations, choose the essential, simplify, focus, create habits and start small. There is a wealth of practical advice about how to implement these principles in terms of time management, e-mails, Internet, filing, daily routine, decluttering workspace and taking up healthy habits. Many of the suggestions are easy to implement, but like all similar books, persistence and self-discipline are required to follow these through. This is certainly one of the best and most practical books of its kind.
