Lessons Learnt From Essentialism By Greg Mckeown For many people, their caution to not hurt anybody makes them unable to say no to people but doing this can have dire consequences. “If the answer isn’t a definite yes, then it should be a no.” You may end up hurting yourself by putting yourself off your own priorities and thus suffering eventually or you may end up hurting that person by refraining him from being independent and tackle with his challenges himself.

Lessons Learnt From Essentialism By Greg Mckeown Lesson 2 - You Are The Major Asset You Have “The Best Asset We Have For Making A Contribution To The World Is Ourselves.

Lessons Learnt From Essentialism By Greg Mckeown How can you expect others to be any good to you if you are not good to yourself. Remember the old school quote, “God helps those, who helps themselves.” This does not mean, you should not help others, but you should do so only if you can. You are no good at all to others if you are sleep deprived and drained of energy. Email : admissions@vjim.edu.in : Phone : +91 40 2304 4901/02

The experiment got escalated to such level that it had to be shut in the middle only. Greg McKeown says on this experiment, “If simply being treated in a different way conditioned these Stanford students to gradually adopt these negative behaviors, could the same kind of conditioning work for more positive behaviors?”.
