Essentialism by Greg McKeown - A Visual Summary

This is actually the first youtube comment I’ve ever written. Thank you for such concise, well-designed and impactful content, including meaningful personal inputs 🙏

One of the best youtube experiences ever! Not a single wasted sentence!

I just finished reading this book and wanted a summary since the book was deep. Couldnt have made it/said it better myself; your visuals are remarkable!!! Thanks Doug!!

Thank you first this video, I am experiencing burnout from work and someone recommended me this book. It’s making a lot more sense why I’m burning out, it really is because I don’t know how to say No, I’m always giving my time and energy but others treat me like crap anyway, this video really makes sense to me

You could say watching this is actually using essentialism on the book itself 😆❤ Thank you

You're ALMOST there.... alllllllll you gotta do is combine all of this with listening to your Heart, intuition/spirit/soul/ 3rd eye.. and BAM!! You've found true peace. And i mean TRUE peace!! 😌. God bless us 🙏.

Greg this was awesome. As someone who's never seen your stuff before, it was actually better to NOT see your face/have you do an intro at the beginning haha. Straight to the value (and trading popularity for respect ;) ) Well done.

This video made me stop and look at the whole of my life, not just the things I own. I am now pondering, who am I, what is my purpose in life, and what role am I meant to play in this world.

Wow,this is so well done. Totally captures the key ideas and principles of the book (which I just finished) and was wondering how to succinctly remember and articulate. Thank you!

As a horribly indecisive, obsessive person, it’s helpful to remember the selection process of “hell yeah or no.” I always get stuck rerunning the in-betweens in my head.

Thank you! This was great for me to get a bit more detail on essentialism. Also, I've been using your videos for about 7 years with my approx. 9-12 year old students encourage visual note-taking.I talk with them about listening without dying from death by, well, listening.... You can see the revelation & delight on their faces as a primary school teacher encourages them to doodle while they listen to her! Hehe, love it. They are so much calmer when they are visual note-taking.Thank you for your great videos!! Rhylie

I just discovered this book, and on my research to see if this is something I should invest in and buy vs borrow from my local library, I stumbled on your video and this video is PHENOMENAL. Really well put together and well done.

I read the book a few years ago and this is such a good summary. Thank you. It saved me trying to find my notes and was a lot clearer than they would have been!

Thanks for this. The book is padded out with a lot of stories - so it was good to get to the core. (I'm on Chapter 4).

I'm both an essentialist and a perrenialist. And I've studied both in depth without even knowing. Great explanation. Thank you.

Thank you so much. Great information, beautifully executed. I love your work.

Idea of titles of chapters as a verb- love this for many planning opportunities.. if we only use adjectives, we are only describing.. but verbs give it an action point.

Fantastic summary. Fantastic video. Please keep these summaries coming

Thank you for creating this. I love the book. It’s amazing. All the best in your future endeavours!

I've been loving this book since then, I'm reading it again from my journal 😍
