FROM SARAH:

This is one of my absolute favorite nonfiction books—it may win the prize as "Sarah's most re-read book!" Implementing the ideas in Essentialism have had a tremendous impact on my homeschool, my work at Read-Aloud Revival, and my parenting. If you feel pulled in too many directions, try some of the ideas in this book and see if it helps. (This book also makes a great gift for that handsome guy in your life, if you're looking for a book for him! 😘)

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Essentialism is more than a time-management strategy or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter.

FROM SARAH:

If you knew that the most memorable parts of any experience are how it begins, how it ends, and the high/low in between, how would that impact your family life? Your vacations? Your homeschool day? These are the kinds of questions I started asking after reading The Power of Moments. Enjoyable and packed with interesting data.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

This book delves into some fascinating mysteries of experience: Why we tend to remember the best or worst moment of an experience, as well as the last moment, and forget the rest. Why “we feel most comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive when they’re not.” And why our most cherished memories are clustered into a brief period during our youth.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

From the author of the million-copy-selling Essentialism comes an empowering guide to achieving your goals. It all starts with a simple principle: Not everything has to be so hard.
