Founder and Co-CEO, Mecca BrandsAbout the book
Have you ever ended the workday later than planned because there was just one more thing to do?
Of course, you have.
The reason is always the same. We believe success comes from doing more: more messages, more meetings, more projects.
But what if the opposite is true?
Maybe the problem isn’t time or effort — it’s quantity. We keep adding, when we should be subtracting.
In Less Achieves More, Cyril Peupion shows readers how to emphasise less — in quarterly goals, weekly planning, and daily action. Less is what allows you to achieve more, and it becomes the answer to how to both work smarter — and live better.
