★☆☆☆☆
Great for the CEOs, CFOs, and people that don't have to answer to others.
Just another self-help book written by an exec that has the ability to say "no I'm not going to do that." Try doing that as a low level manager, or better yet an employee. As a manager, I had to read this. It was painful. As a manager, if you can't multi task you're out of a job. Instead of trying to tell people how to focus on the one thing, it should be how to focus on the most important while giving time to the rest. At the end of the book he even says most essentialists aren't and non-essentialists are essentialists. Making the point that it's all BS anyways. Living as a "essentialist" is fairy tail. It can't happen, well not unless you own your own company or you're a stay at home mom/dad and the other adult doesn't care what you do. (edited for phones auto-correct)
