Publishers Weekly
According to Babauta (Zen to Done), employing "the power of less" will propel readers from chaos to blissful and productive minimalism. Learning to set limitations, such as penning a three-item "Most Important Task" list every day and restricting e-mails to five lines, is a cornerstone for the author's plan for increased simplicity and satisfaction. With new boundaries in place, readers can discover "flow," become wholly absorbed in tasks and live the paradox of doing less and achieving more. (Jan.)

A great book for anyone looking to accomplish more with less.by proud_mom_of_3

February 01, 2010: I was intrigued by the title of this book while browsing the audio section at a store, and decided to buy it. I was one of the best self-help, motivational books I have ever read (listend to in my case). It will help you to get more done in less time by doing what is important to you and eliminating non-essentials. I recommend this to anyone. You will get something useful and I would bet more than just one thing. I am using most of his techniques and am finally making progress in decluttering my house after years of just wishing about it.

August 21, 2009: I've read a lot of books that promise to help you simplify your life and help you get focuses. This wonderful book has lots of ideas that can really help you do that. When you get it (pun intended), you get focused, you get productive... and you can really simplify, really good.
