Book Description:

It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed by the mixed messages of what it means to live well.

Kendra Adachi, the creator of the Lazy Genius movement, invites you to live well by your own definition and equips you to be a genius about what matters and lazy about what doesn’t. Everything from your morning routine to napping without guilt falls into place with Kendra’s thirteen Lazy Genius principles, including: Decide once; Start small; Ask the Magic Question; Go in the right order; and Schedule rest.

Discover a better way to approach your relationships, work, and piles of mail. Be who you are without the complication of everyone else’s “shoulds.” Do what matters, skip the rest, and be a person again.

My Take:

This is the self-help book for people who like instructions. Actionable instructions.

I understand that sometimes the appropriate inspiration is “see your goal, reach your goal, be your goal.” Those books and speeches can be very useful. But….

Sometimes you just need someone to say: “You want to change your life? Do this real thing, then this physical thing, then achieve this effect.” YES! That’s what you get in The Lazy Genius Way – real actionable steps to make changes in your life. I highly recommend this book.

Also, don’t miss the footnotes!

Favorite Lines

We don't give enough credit to all that goes before, but that's precisely why small steps matter: they're doing invisible work, and we can trust that process.
You have permission to let go, wonder, and go slow or to desire, hustle, and power through.
