Würden Sie gerne mehr erreichen, fühlen sich aber zu erschöpft? Rennen Sie immer schneller, aber das Ziel ist immer weiter entfernt? Viele Dinge scheinen weitaus anstrengender, als sie sein sollten. Woran das liegt und was man dagegen tun kann, beschreibt New-York-Times-Bestsellerautor Greg McKeown. Es mangelt meist weder an Motivation noch an Willen, ganz im Gegenteil: Wir arbeiten zu viel, überanstrengen uns und dann sind die Akkus leer. McKeown zeigt, wie man Ablenkungen reduziert, Prozesse vereinfacht, Probleme vermeidet und auch Unvollkommenheit akzeptiert.

Though shredding fell out of favor, it has become increasingly popular again in recent years. Drawing on more than 70 interviews with key shredders, Greg Prato has assembled the definitive guide to the fastest players of them all.
