SLOW PRODUCTIVITY: Can We Get More Done by Doing Less?

from The Next Big Idea Hosted by Next Big Idea Club

What if doing less is the secret to achieving more? That's the counterintuitive argument at the heart of productivity guru Cal Newport's new book, "Slow Productivity: The Lost Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout." Cal says that if we can learn to do fewer things, work at a natural pace, and obsess over quality, we can free ourselves from the clutches of pointless busyness and find more meaningful ways to work ... and live. *Live Event Alert* We are hosting a live taping of this show in New York City on Monday, April 22. Rufus will be sitting down with Scott Galloway — NYU business professor, podcast provocateur, and author of "The Algebra of Wealth" — to discuss ways you can optimize your life for wealth and success.
