How do you fit into the modern world? Do you feel that your work is valued by those around you? Do you feel that youre working in line with your highest potential? What about friends? What about family? Do you have time for them alongside the rest of your commitments? What temptations surround you? What did you want to be as a child, what do you do now, and who do you still want to become? Do you keep feeling like youre always busy but never quite productive? This book will address all of these questions and more in our journey to uncover the nature of Essentialism and what it can mean for you.

In todays world, there are so many different paths we can follow. Everyone has a different idea of truth, direction, and purpose, and while you might have found your space in the miasma surrounding you, you may have not, and that can feel devastating. Even if you have followed and made a path for yourself, however, you can still feel as if something still isnt complete in your life. Todays world encourages diversification, globalization, entrepreneurship, and more. Having your fingers in a bunch of pies in terms of work, relationships, and communities is becoming the norm, to the detriment of true human interaction, it seems, but there is still room for growth. There is still a way to find a path that suits you best where you make the most of each day and feel abundant and productive by the end of it. There is a way by which becoming highly selective can boost your life.

Philosophers across time have contemplated the nature of reality and urged the connection between minimalism, earnestness, and the purpose-driven life. This lifestyle is given many different names across the ages, and its basic tenants shift according to the standards of the time, but one underlying gist remains the same: with a focus on less instead of more, you will find it easier to live the good life.

This message goes completely against the cultural forces at work on your mind. Many national norms and popular icons dictate the value of more. You see it in the growing number of commercials and billboards that bombard your daily life, urging you to buy more and more. You see it in the attitudes of people in sitcoms, and even people around you, whose actions seem to suggest shopping cures a bad mood. When you look around or go outside your home, the values around you become slowly absorbed into your thoughts, your moods, and your actions, but what about your innate rights to choose.

Imagine what your life will be like when you give yourself permission to say no every once and a while, knowing that work would still come. Imagine what you will get done when you chose to take on only the most essential problems that life and work hands to you. When we break down this potential, it means selectivity and minimalism personified on a number of levels. First, it means that on the minute-by-minute basis, you will learn to practice this approach on the stressors that affect you. You will be able to discern between the things that immediately require your attention and whatever can actually wait until later. You will be able to focus on whatever is vital in the moment for the situation rather than the pandemonium surrounding it.

On another level, it will mean that in terms of your life and purpose you will be able to embrace your potential fully. You will be confident in making the choices that matter for the future you want to attain, which will mean limiting yourself of certain things and letting go of whatever has been holding you down. You might even find that by conserving your energy and minimalizing for the future, you experience a career shift or perhaps even end a few relationships. All in search of what best serves you and of what is the best expenditure of your energy.

On one additional level, this minimalism will affect how you establish your routine over time. This routine will become essential to establishing the future you want to attain. By repeating the steps that work for you and eliminating whatever doesnt serve your best interests, youll be putting the theory to praxis. Youll remember to act with emotional intention in everything and enthusiastically build a future in line with your highest potential.

By learning the value of less and employing a selective mindset, you can reclaim your own power and redirect your life. Youll begin to move from uncontrolled and unrestrained actions toward a more conscious and satisfying future. Youll find yourself opening your eyes to the world around you as if its a whole new place where you have unlimited, untapped potential. In so many ways, youll begin to bring order out of chaos and bring your sporadic energies to focus on what truly matters for you.

This book is made to tap you into that future. It will teach you, instruct you, and enlighten you in the potentials you have yet to unlock. It will encourage you, engage with you, and challenge you all in the aim of introducing you to a methodological approach that can alter the substance of your life. If you feel like youve been a ball of energy extending your efforts out in all directions, this practice will help you redirect your potential toward one direction that aligns all your efforts. If you feel like youve been a scattered and chaotic splat of energy, this practice will help you organize your drives to support a coherent dream or set of goals.

This practice of Essentialism will be expressed to you in four parts. The first part, Mindset, will discuss the nature of Essentialism and how you can incorporate it into your life. It will go into detail about selectivity and true importance before giving you an example of the Essentialist mindset in action. The second part, Map it Out, will show you how to express Essentialism in your daily life. It will show you how certain traits of this practice may already be present in your routines and strategies for success, and it will end with a reminder of how important it is to maintain your avenues for release.
