The main idea of this book is the opposite of worldly wisdom, which says that without effort you cannot take out even a fish from a pond. With various examples, coach Richard Koch temperamentally proves that 20% of our efforts provide 80% of all the results we get.
The main idea of this book is the opposite of worldly wisdom, which says that without effort you cannot take out even a fish from a pond. With various examples, coach Richard Koch temperamentally proves that 20% of our efforts provide 80% of all the results we get. In other words, 80% of what we do goes into the sand. Koch suggests abandoning these fruitless efforts and focusing on what works. That is, to do several times less — and receive (money, pleasure, love, and so on) several times more. And for this we need to do what and only what brings us joy. This is his 80/20 principle. A former entrepreneur, Koch originally developed it in relation to business. The idea received a warm response around the world, and he began to develop it further, extending it to his personal life. The very idea in his presentation looks quite sensible, but the method of implementation seems too straightforward. Rather, the value of the book lies elsewhere. Koch is a great motivator: he is able to convince a person who goes with the flow that he could change his life for the better. And this is already a lot.
