"READ THIS BOOK AND USE IT." TIM FERRISS

Millions of highly effective people have become more successful by understanding the simple fact that 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts. All you have to do is identify the 20 percent that leads to 80 percent. The 80/20 Principle shows you how.

Richard Koch's million-copy-selling global bestseller is now completely revised and updated, and more powerful and essential than ever. He reveals how the principle works and shows how to use it in a systematic and practical way to vastly increase your effectiveness, and improve your career.

The unspoken corollary to the 80/20 principle is that little of what you spend your time on actually counts. But by concentrating on those things that do, you can unlock the enormous potential of the magic 20 percent. Discover how to identify the few methods that will lead to great results, and use them alone. Avoid hard work. Don't push water uphill. Be very selective in what you do. Have a great life.

80/20 is the essential tool for anyone who wants to succeed.

Be more effective with less effort by learning how to leverage the 80/20 principle.
