Preface

If you knew you could always get more of the great things that life has to offer, with less effort and cost, would you be interested?

If you could work a two-day week and yet gain much better results and pay than you do for a full week now, would you be interested?

If you could find a simple solution to your problems by following a way that always works, would you be interested?

If this way applied not only to making a living, earning money, and finding success, but also to the even more important areas of life the people you love and care for, as well as your happiness and fulfillment would you be interested?

Of course you would. And you can transform your life if you follow the 80/20 Way.

The 80/20 Way involves a real change in how we see things and do things, yet following the 80/20 Way is simpler and easier than we have any right to expect.

How come? If we understand the way the world is really organized even though that may be completely opposite to what we expect we can fit in with that way and get much more of what we care about with much less energy. By doing less , we can enjoy and achieve more .

This book is about action, but less action

This is an intensely practical book, but also a very unusual one, in that it is concerned with less action rather than more. As has been observed many times, its impossible to make real improvements to our lives unless we do things differently . Thats true but the 80/20 Way also shows us how to do less in total . We do more of the things that make us happy, but since these are only a small proportion of everything we do, we can do fewer things in total and still transform our lives. We think more, do much more of a few things, and do them better and more intensely, but do much less overall.
