I picked up Richard Koch’s: The 80/20 Principle: The Secret to Achieving More with Less upon recommendation from the Tim Ferriss Podcast (see my review of the Tim Ferriss Podcast here). I can see why a tinkerer like Tim might gravitate towards this book and its contrarian logic. The substance of the book is: defining the concept, its application within the business world and its application to one’s personal life. Right off the bat, he states his motivation:
“This book is written from a burning conviction validated in personal and business experience, that this principle is one of the best ways of dealing with and transcending the pressures of modern life.”
