Are you tired of doing it all?

In part 2 of our special series on Jonathan’s minimalist approach to living, he challenges the idea that being well-rounded is the key to success. Instead, Jonathan dives into the power of finding and focusing on your “thing”--the unique strength that energizes you, even when it’s tough.

He shares why focusing on what you do best (a lesson not taught in school) can lead to a more fulfilling life, rather than trying to balance a range of skills that drain your passion.

Jonathan also talks candidly about letting go of control and how this unexpected move gave him more freedom to focus on his passion for writing and living a purposeful life.

From embracing specialized mastery, to the paradox of giving, to creating rules that reduce decision fatigue, this episode on minimalist living is a must-listen.

Tune in now to start shifting from busy to simplified and purposeful living!
