The 80/20 Principle is definitely a concept you must use every day to optimize the things you're doing. The book has some great insights but there is a lot of overhead and repetition. It has value but it could be summarized in 5 pages. That said I'd recommend you read this and take notes do you don't have to go through it again.

The principle was clear after reading a few chapters, the rest of the book just seemed to repeat everything. Kind of ironic.

Repetitive, very little substance, superficially researched.

80% of outcomes is from 20% causes of the 100% privileged.

I had to quit fast once the audio guy started talking of the data - the 'dah-ter' - following his rendition of a rap featuring the 80/20 principles.

If you're looking for profit and success, tally ho, off you go.

I'll turn off this road back to inquiry, community and wellbeing.

Kick a new year up with this book for a more effective new me but it wasn't useful that much...

To apply 80/20 principles right away, I read the instruction and the conclusion to get general idea, then selected some interesting parts to specialize my interests. Therefore these are some value Chapters to me:
Money money money (looking closely into investment rule, especially in stock market)
And...
Oh, actually only one value chapter...

Anyway, if you are an absolutely innocent human being, this book may be useful to you because it shows how to be success in all spheres of life in lazy way...

Good luck...

The first 20% of the book is extremely interesting but, by then got the premise and the the last 80% was just repetitive. That’s why it took me so long to get through a “self-help” book.

I gave it three stars because I do not hate the book. It is really interesting and the concept really makes you think out your own productivity and how you do spend your own time. Just the book could have been a lot shorter.
