Publisher's Summary

Secrets of the 80/20 Principle revealed!

Find your "critical 20%" and transform your time - and life - forever! The 80/20 principle - also known as the Pareto principle - is the well-verified observation that in business, economics, and life generally, about 80 percent of all results flow from a mere 20 percent of our efforts. In this thought-provoking and highly informative program, Richard Koch unveils the secrets to how this mysterious but practical principle actually works... how it is affecting your life right now... and how you can start using it to your advantage. You'll learn:

  • How to identify the critical 20% in every area of your life
  • How to give up the guilt of not working as hard as you think you're supposed to
  • Why "time management" is a counter-productive fallacy
  • The six things successful 80/20 practitioners do differently than you
  • How to make the 80/20 Principle work for you in your job, even when you don't have total control over your time
  • What the 80/20 Principle can teach you about who to hire
  • How to avoid dooming yourself to life as a wage slave
  • How the 80/20 principle can multiply your money
  • And much more!

The unspoken corollary of the 80/20 principle is that little of what you spend your time on actually enriches your life. But by concentrating instead on the few things that do matter, you can unlock the enormous potential of the critical 20 percent and multiply your happiness and fulfillment. When you learn how to systematically apply the 80/20 principle, you will finally have the power to transcend the pressures of modern life: to become more successful and to enjoy more leisure, serenity, and great relationships with friends and loved ones.

Sensible but quite repetitive

The book gives good tips on how one can look at progress that matters the most for the individual. In addition there some meaningful examples in the book. However, some portions are repeated almost in every chapter.

only 20% of this book is useful and 80% waste

1: This book rather feels to be a philosophical book and sometimes in between writer remembers he needs to talk on 80/20 Principle and it's application.
2: Didn't quite meet the expectations

Good content, bad voice

This audiobook would have fared much better if the author wasn't reciting it. His voice wasn't soothing, at times appeared to have just muddled up some words. Media houses should keep authors away from audiobooks, and let professional voice actors read them out instead.

20% Message, 80% of Time

Nice to listen to the 80/20 principle but Richard has repeated the same message again and again so it becomes boring.

Feels like message could have delivered in 20% of the time but Richard has consumed 80% time.

Fantastic book with so much knowledge

I loved this book and will read (listen) to it again. The principle is simple but once implemented it can change your life. I’m a follower of the 80/20 principle.
