I have finished Do Less, Achieve More by Chin-Ning Chu. The subtitle is Discover the hidden power of giving in. The book is divided into three parts, each one dealing with one of the three secrets which are:
- Fine-tune your actions
- Put your mind at ease
- Discover the divine power
Under finetuning your actions is a list of 18 tips. There is also this gem about time management, it is worth repeating that:
Time management is about managing ourselves, not about managing time.
A part in this section is called ‘Life is full’, looking back we have always filled our 24 hours. But did we do what we really wanted to do?
Success is not about having more. It is about fine-tuning your understanding of what you are willing to give up in order to get what you really want.
The conclusion for fine-tuning: Trade what does not work for what you really want.
The second section, put your mind at ease, is about accepting divine guidance. Life is a school, unless you complete your lessons at each phase you do not get to move forward.
In the third section, discover the divine power, it states that as long as we are reacting we have lost sight of our own agenda. The author wants us to find our point of restfulness which makes it possible to stay in control. She mentions mediatation and intuition as tools for this, the books describes six techniques.
I have mixed feelings about the book since to me it revealed no secrets but I guess that depends on where we are in our own progress.
