The Pursuit of 'Less'

--:--
In this episode, Maanda Tshifularo and Nqobile Ngcobo explore the idea of “less, but better”. They unpack the deliberate pursuit of less, which helps us regain control of our own decisions about where to spend our valuable time and energy, by forcing us to apply more selective criteria for what is essential - rather than granting others the implicit right to choose for us. The conversation is anchored on the book, 'Essentialism - The Disciplined Pursuit of Less' by Greg McKeown.
