Overall this was an easy read. Great tips for reducing stress and increasing happiness. I enjoyed this book and recommend it to others.

This was an enjoyable read. It was very informative and I learned a lot of great success tips. I would highly recommend this book.

I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a day to day guide in successful living. A new way of being happier and less stressed.

I enjoyed reading this book and I am currently implementing what I learn in my daily routine. I believe human behaviour can be changed and, by following the 80/20 principle, I can create new, useful habits for myself.

Found out a little too late that this is more of a workbook companion to a more through book on the 80/20 theory, so that should be read first. I don’t think this book is completely useless without the prior reading, but it would definitely help! Any book in a workshop format really appeals to my AuDHD, so I’m happy to have it!

Interesting book - as ever with a self-help book, I'd already got some of the ideas from other sources, but there was new ways of looking at things here to take away with me., so it was worth reading. I would say that a paperback copy to flick back and forward through would have been slightly easier to use than the kindle version, but that's personal preference.

“If you expect life to be easy, you will be disappointed and frustrated. But if you expect life to be difficult, you can take the difficulties in your stride and take pride in overcoming them. By expecting life to be difficult, it is no longer difficult. The difficulty is discounted. It no longer matters, except as a stepping-stone to greater self-confidence.” - Richard Koch

I thoroughly enjoyed reading 80/20 Daily. I have not read Richard Koch's earlier works but found this book to stand on its own well. The book provides a number of examples of ways in which our lives are ruled by the 80/20 principle. As a student of chaos theory and complexity science, I could relate to the need for a change in perspective and a change in how we operate in both life and business. Recognizing chaotic patterns, learning to be okay with a lack of control, and the strength in weak links are all principles that will lead to greater creativity, more innovation and a decrease in overall stress. This book makes me want to read more by Richard Koch.

Hey folks, just wanted to share my thoughts on this book I recently picked up.
- It's all about this concept called the 80/20 rule, where you focus on the vital few things that really make a difference.
- One example they give is how 20% of your efforts often lead to 80% of your results.
- I've started applying it to my work and personal life, and I gotta say, I'm seeing some positive changes.
- It's not a magic solution, but it's definitely helping me prioritize better and feel more balanced.
- This book helps you to work smarter, not harder everyday

Really interesting read from Richard Koch exploring the intersection between selectivity and success . I was relatively new to the 80/20 principle but Koch breaks it down in such easily digestible and short chapters - and it all resonated really deeply with me. I have never highlighted so many chapters and quotes in a book and will definitely be dipping and diving into this for a long time yet. I have already found myself applying this wisdom to my life and finding greater joy in the things I choose to dedicate my time to. Highly recommend for those who - as Koch describes are intelligent, idle and ambitious.

Many thanks to Nicholas Brealey, Richard Koch & NetGalley for an advanced reader copy in exchange for my review.

80/20 Daily is a very easy-to-read book that uses various practical examples in which the rule can be applied in different spheres of life. For me, as a leader in the recruitment field, I found the references to leadership and management, approaches to more effective recruitment, and the mention of smart laziness people (and the value they ultimately bring) particularly interesting. Although these were the topics that interested me the most, the book is sufficiently comprehensive, covering almost every topic one can imagine in everyday life.

I thank the author for giving me the opportunity to access this reading in advance.

"The 80/20" by Richard Koch offers daily advice to help readers live better lives with less effort.

Koch demonstrates how the 80/20 principle applies to everyday situations, showing readers how a small proportion of their efforts often yields the majority of results. Through insightful daily reflections, readers are encouraged to identify the 20% of activities that bring the most value and focus on them, while minimizing time and energy spent on less productive endeavors.

What sets this book apart is its practical approach to enhancing life by focusing on what truly matters.

The universe works in mysterious ways! Results and causes can be unpredictable, but there is a pattern to them, known as the 80/20 principle. This principle states that 80 percent of results come from 20 percent of causes, and sometimes even from a smaller, more powerful portion. When you recognize these imbalances in your life, you can harness them to achieve greater results with less effort, stress, time, or money

By identifying activities with a high ratio of results to resources, such as effort or time, you can tap into the essence of the 80/20 principle. It's not just about achieving success; it's also about finding happiness and reducing stress for yourself and others. Opportunities to apply the 80/20 principle are everywhere in life, waiting to be discovered.

By embracing the 80/20 principle, you can greatly enhance your peace of mind, joy, achievements, and positive impact on the people around you.

To make the most of the 80/20 principle, it's crucial to constantly ask yourself: What are the vital few things in my life that contribute to the majority of my success? What actions or experiences have a significant positive impact, and how can I incorporate more of them into my life? Don't assume you already have the answers; take the time to think creatively and explore the possibilities.

Whether you're in business, entertainment, media, or any other field, you can achieve success while enjoying a more relaxed approach. The true essence of the 80/20 principle lies in the pursuit of finding better ways of doing things or discovering activities that bring greater fulfillment. Embrace the mindset of doing more with less, and know that countless opportunities await you on this journey.

There is a lot of information in this book, and lots of examples of people who have applied the 80/20 in their personal or working lives.

The chapters are short, the sections and their paragraphs and lots of bullet points make it easy to read.

I received this book from Netgalley in return for a honest review.

This is one of those books you have to really take in and think about what you are reading. We spend so much time on totally useless, meaningless, or trivial things in life, but we should concentrate on the things that matter, the 20%. These are things we ought to think about. Why do we spend so much time on things that do not make us happy, or do not take us anywhere in life? The book gives good insights to these matters, and in fact gives insights regarding what matters. A great read that gets your mind thinking about what is worthy of my time and life.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this eARC.

“80/20 Daily: Your Day-by-Day Guide to Happier, Healthier, Wealthier, and More Successful Living Using the 80/20 Principle” by Richard Koch is a transformative work that encapsulates the essence of the 80/20 principle in a digestible daily format. Koch, renowned for his bestselling book “The 80/20 Principle,” distills the core tenets of this powerful concept into bite-sized, actionable insights that promise to enhance one’s life with minimal effort.

The book is structured as a series of daily meditations, each focusing on a specific aspect of life where the 80/20 principle can be applied. From personal happiness to financial acumen, Koch covers a broad spectrum, ensuring that readers from all walks of life can find value in his words. The underlying message is clear: a small number of causes often lead to a large percentage of effects, and by identifying and leveraging these ‘vital few,’ one can achieve more with less.

Koch’s writing is accessible and profound, striking a balance between practical advice and philosophical musings. His examples are relatable, often drawing from everyday experiences to illustrate how the 80/20 principle can turn the mundane into the extraordinary. The book encourages readers to reflect on their own lives, identify their most productive inputs, and focus their energies accordingly.

One of the book’s strengths is its versatility. Whether you’re a seasoned executive or a student just starting out, the principles laid out in “80/20 Daily” can be tailored to your individual circumstances. Koch’s guidance is not prescriptive but rather suggestive, allowing for personal interpretation and application.

In essence, “80/20 Daily” is not just a book; it’s a companion for life’s journey. It’s a reminder that we often complicate our paths to success and happiness with unnecessary detours. Koch’s work is a beacon, guiding us back to the simplicity of the 80/20 principle, where the majority of our rewards can come from a minority of our efforts.

As a book reviewer who values creativity and critical analysis, I find “80/20 Daily” to be a refreshing take on self-improvement. It doesn’t offer a one-size-fits-all solution but rather a framework for thinking that can be adapted and adopted by anyone looking to make meaningful changes in their life. It’s a book that I will not only recommend but return to time and again for its timeless wisdom and practical insights.

Richard Koch’s 80/20 Daily is an easy to read and understand book on…well everything, lol. Or rather it’s a book focused on the 80/20 principle and in this book Koch gives bite sized, easy to digest nuggets on how it can be applied to all facets of our daily lives. I’m a real fan of all sorts of self help books, always believe even if I only take one piece of new information from a book it’s worthwhile, and I can definitely see how adhering to the principle could be beneficial. Still early on for me adapting to this way of thinking so it remains to be seen if I stick to it or not (though even if I were to only apply it to one or two aspects my daily life I’d view it as a success and worth my time.) Thanks so much to Nicholas Brealey Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC.

A good read with useable and interesting tips to make your life easier. I enjoyed it and will recommend it to others.

An interesting read and I'll look forward to putting some of the ideas into practice. I thought it might all be business related but there's some excellent ideas for individuals. Thanks to the author, netGalley and publisher for the arc

This was a good follow-up to the 80/20 Priciple; it gives the reader the means to apply the concepts to their lives. The daily tips are helpful but I did not feel that they were very original, almost common sense but many readers need to take it to the bare minimum or easy and for that, I think this is great.

Thank you NetGally for an advanced copy/early read opportunity!!
