Less Doing, More Living: Make Everything in Life Easier by Ari Meisel

1.0

Another book that basically just tells you to outsource and automate, which is helpful if you work for yourself but if you’re not self employed, it’s not practical. It gives a list of a bunch of tools (i.e. IFFT, Evernote) you can use to “organize your brain”, which you can find with some simple Google research. Also, I’m a woman reading this and early on the book talks about optimizing your bio markers, “even testosterone” — yes, women do have some testosterone, but it’s not our primary hormone. Also claims that Pinterest is “how a woman’s brain works”, giving the statistic that 70% of users are women, but that Evernote is a neuroscience approach felt very biased. There was no reason to include that statistic, just say that Evernote is a neuroscience approach. It felt exclusionary and just tells me I’m not the target demographic.
