About this listen
No time to read? Get the main key insights from this summary of Greg McKeown’s Effortless in just a short listen.
A few key insights from Chapter 1.
1. All too often, our society seems to cherish doing things the hard way. This results in the mindset that in order to overachieve, we must overdo. This can lead to problems down the line, because if we’re overworking, we’re making things more difficult for ourselves.
2. To invert this assumption about our world and work, we need to ask if the opposite is true: “Could our work be made easy?” Asking this simple question can lead to new perspectives and ideas, and almost always, better and easier solutions.
3. For businesses, it seems natural to believe we must solve the most complex problems for the greatest rewards. Instead, we should look at the most valuable opportunities with the easiest problems to solve. When we lose the preconception that easy means inferior, we begin to get rid of our problems.
4. The Effortless State is a mindset of feeling focused, energized, and unburdened by our daily problems with work and life. As we begin to strip away complexities and difficulties, and actively choose to make our lives easier, we begin to find ourselves in the Effortless State.

As high achievers, we’ve been conditioned to believe that the path to success is paved with relentless work. That if we want to overachieve, we have to overexert, overthink, and overdo. That if we aren’t perpetually exhausted, we’re not doing enough. But lately, working hard is more exhausting than ever. And the more depleted we get, the more effort it takes to make progress. Stuck in an endless loop of “Zoom, eat, sleep, repeat”, we’re often working twice as hard to achieve half as much.

What do you think of when someone says, "daily habits"? Hopefully, it's not just brushing your teeth or waking up at 7am. If you did that, then there's no way your life would be what it is today. If I had to choose one word to sum up what I believe about habits, it would be consistency.

Self-discipline (or habits) is your expressway to success. It is the difference between “I might have achieved this” and “Yes, I have achieved it”. Wealthy, happy, and successful people are able to leverage the power of self-discipline to optimize their productivity, make good use of their time, unleash self-control, and be in the controller’s position of their life. They are seldom driven by events, situations, circumstances, or others.

You see, achieving your goals doesn’t have to be difficult - even if you’ve tried and failed before. In fact, it’s easier than you think. A study by Duckworth and Martin Seligman in 2004 demonstrated that self-discipline is a better indicator of success than IQ. And best of all, self-discipline is a learn-able skill, which means you can achieve success without having a unique talent or an exceptionally high IQ.

Dr. Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world.

Adam and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah; the spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham’s terrible adventure; and the epic of Moses and the Israelites.

Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot.

Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.

After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder. "Rule number one for the perfect murder: Evidence is your enemy. Leave none behind." Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two. No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”
