Essentialism

Essentialism: the disciplined pursuit of less / Greg McKeown, 260 pgs.

This book boils down the problems with MORE and the idea of choosing less.  Eliminating everything but the essential, allows you to make a bigger impact.  Focusing your efforts allows you to achieve more than working on "everything."  Your total effort is finite and so over committing assures you will do nothing well and contribute less.  Choice is the key here.  Even sometimes when you feel you don't have the ability to choose, the author demonstrates that you can choose.  Edit your commitments for a bigger influence.
