“If you don’t prioritize your life, someone else will.”
The author of the globally best-selling “Essentialism” and the upcoming “Effortless” joins the JOMO(cast) to proudly announce that JOMO and the philosophy of essentialism are natural companions. He’s spoken at multinational brands, top-tier universities, and organizations around the world to share the simple, powerful message that individuals, teams, and societies function at their absolute best when they make the conscious and mindful decision every day to make room only for what matters most.
He believes you can not only design an essential life, you can do it with ease and joy, too.
Highlights from this episode:
- “I think what JOMO and.. essentialism represents to people is they read about it and go, I’ve spent my whole life doing it this way because that was the default option. I didn’t know there was a way out of this.”
- The CEO of Uncharted brought his reading of Essentialism to work. “He applied it to the company, got everyone to read it, and they experimented and.. Moved to a four-day workweek. When he shared with me the things people are doing instead of that day of work.. Volunteering, learning languages, time spent with family, it’s been this much higher quality of life, and they haven’t had to give up their value contribution at work.”
- “I think lots will feel stretched too thin at work or at home, will feel busy but not necessarily productive, will feel that their day is being constantly hijacked by other people… if the answer is ‘yes’ to any of those things, then the way out is essentialism.”
- “instead of trying to do it all for everyone all the time, instead of trying to follow the undisciplined pursuit of more, you follow the disciplined pursuit of less.”
