![]() Similar to the concept of minimalism, in this book McKeown proposes living with a focus on only the essential matters in our lives. He believes, and puts forth solid evidence to support, that humans are happier and more successful when they put effort into "What's Important Now," and a few other handy guidelines. I think Chelsea Handler recommended this book through her Instagram account, so I went right ahead and requested it at the AADL. In general, I do not enjoy "self-help" books. I tend to read the chapter and section titles and flip right to the end. However, this was not a "self-help" book by my standard. It was too Gladwellian for that. The integration of science and the intelligent discussion of the concepts had me feeling like I was reading an instructional essay rather than a sappy magazine article.
