I’m not sure what the difference is between a self-help book and a book on business management; but this book certainly blurs that line. While most of the examples in this book are business scenarios, the underlying advice seems to me to for establishing a personal—not professional—mission.

While most of the insights in this book can be found in other books (7 Habits of Highly Effective People; Atomic Habits), I appreciate the fresh perspective of packaging these insights in the concept of “essentialism”; building your life around only that which is most important to you. It’s a motivating paradigm.
