For modern adults, life moves on the fast track, moving from one commitment to the next with a single-minded obsession to get ahead. What remains elusive is real happiness. According to Richard Koch and Living the 80/20 Way, happiness flows from doing less, not striving more. True achievement and success can and will come from doing less. With his first mega-seller, The 80/20 Principle, Koch explains a century old economic principle called the Pareto Principle: 80 percent of results come from 20 percent of effort. The 80/20 Individual showed how to apply the 80/20 principle in the workplace. Now, Living the 80/20 Way explains how to improve the key elements of your life and take back your time.
