Product Description

Product Description

If you knew that you could always get more of the great things that life has to offer, with less effort and cost, would you be interested? If you could find a simple solution to your problems by following a way that always works, would you be interested? If you could work a two-day week, and yet get much better results and pay than you do for a full week now, would you be interested? If that way applied not just to making a living, to money, or success, but also to the even more important areas of life - the people that you love and care for, and your happiness and fulfilment - would you be interested? You can transform your life if you follow the 80/20 Way. In his titles, "The 80/20 Principle" and "The 80/20 Individual" Koch demonstrates to readers how to use the 80/20 principle, achieving more with less in a predominately business context. In this third book, Koch now helps the reader to succeed personally as well as professionally, to make a good life as well as a living.


About the Author

Richard Koch is the author of thirteen acclaimed books, including the best-sellers The 80/20 Principle and The 80/20 Individual (the sequel for managers and entrepreneurs). He has pioneered the idea that we can achieve more if we relax, enjoy life more, and focus on the few things that matter uniquely to each individual. He views his own life as an experiment in 'more with less' and now only does those things that he finds enjoyable, fulfilling, or useful to close friends: "As I have spent less time working, I have achieved far more," he states.

A self-proclaimed 'lazy entrepreneur', his ventures have ranged for consulting (LEK), personal organizers (Filofax), hotels (Zoffany and Zola) to restaurants (Belgo) and premium gin (Plymouth), and currently include the world's leading "betting exchange" (Betfair).

He lives mainly in London in England, Cape Town in South Africa, and the south of Spain.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly life changing book for anyone - BUY IT!, 12 April 2005
By A Customer
I read this out of curiosity not realising the tremendous impact it would have. Not normally one to write reviews I felt I had to make the exception for this book. For me it provided that moment in my life where the light bulb switched on in my head and I said "ah- I get it".

Before, I was "successful" in the traditonal sense. Good job, nice home, a very normal guy. I always strived for more, working hard and generally putting unnecessary pressure on myself.

The book's principle is so simple yet incredibly profound and can be applied to every aspect of life, from daily tasks to life changing decisions.

As a result, I really do so much less, am far more relaxed and only spend time doing things that are really important. The results are great- I'm far more effective - lazy intelligence instead of a busy fool.

I'm not really a self-help type and dislike most other titles out there but this book has really changed every aspect of my life and perspective on it.

I walk around feeling that I know something very few people truly understand which gives me the inner peace others seem to constantly strive for.

5.0 out of 5 stars It really seems to make a difference, 24 Jun 2004
By A Customer
This book tells you to concentrate on the few important things in life. That sounds very obvious but the stories and examples are telling, and the author helps you to work out in detail your own plan to "work less, worry less, succeed more, enjoy more." I've already started and it's early days but it seems to be working.

5.0 out of 5 stars Less is more!, 2 Jun 2004
By Orland Ghamar (Norton, Kent) - See all my reviews
I'm normally sceptical of self-help books but I have read and enjoyed some of the author's previous business books. This book has the same chatty and forceful writing and the more you read of it the more you start to see that this guy talks a lot of sense. It has opened my eyes to changing the way I lead parts of my life and focusing more on what I can get out of life than what I need to put into it.

The most interesting parts I found were the "real life" stories and I'd like more of those. If you are fed-up of the rat-race and open to a new approach to living your life I do recommend reading this.
