Living The 80/20 Way : Work Less, Worry Less, Succeed More, Enjoy More
A self-made millionaire and best-selling author, Koch pioneered the
idea that we can achieve more if we relax, enjoy life, and focus on the
few things that matter most to us as unique individuals. Here he makes
immensely practical the proven 80/20 sensation he lives himself and
created for millions of others. Koch is the author of the international
Bestseller, The 80/20 Principle.
The 80/20 Principle: The Secret of Achieving More with Less The 80/20 Principle - that 80 per cent of results flow from just 20 per cent of the causes - is the one true principle of highly effective people and organizations. In one of the decade's most original, provocative and powerful books, The 80/20 Principle shows how you can achieve much more with much less effort, time and resources, simply by concentrating on the all-important 20 per cent. Astonishingly, though the 80/20 Principle has greatly influenced today's world, this is the first book which shows you how to use it in a systematic and practical way. The pattern of predictable imbalance underlying the 80/20 Principle was first stumbled upon a century ago by Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto - roughly 80 per cent of the wealth went to 20 per cent of the people.
