Paring Down: Realistic minimalism, decluttering, & intentional living20 Touko 2025

85: Become an Essentialist with NYT Bestselling Author, Greg McKeown

NYT Bestselling author Greg McKeown is on the show!! (WHAT?!) Buckle up for one of the most special, exciting, and insightful episodes of Paring Down yet as we dive into his two mega-hits, Essentialism and Effortless. In this episode, you'll grasp a deeper understanding of how to identify what's important in your life and what's unnecessary excess (i.e. clutter). But we're not just decluttering our homes and lives, here. Greg takes things a step further to impart wisdom on how to effortlessly achieve the things that we've deemed essential. You'll learn when, exactly, a goal is actually "done." You'll learn about mimetic desire and how it's holding us back. You'll learn the difference between lack state and have space, and which one you need to make your path infinitely easier. You do NOT want to miss this one!!
