From Amazon’s description:
Have you ever found yourself stretched too thin? Do you simultaneously feel overworked and underutilized? Are you often busy but not productive? Do you feel like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people’s agendas? If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist. The Way of the Essentialist isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done. It is not a time management strategy, or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution towards the things that really matter.
By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy – instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. Essentialism is not one more thing – it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.
Think about this from an energetic point of view. Let’s imagine, that everything you own is something that brings you joy. Everything you own increases your energy, your emotions, your well-being. What would your life be like?
Interestingly enough, and especially in western culture of having lots of “things,” a lot of the things we have do NOT bring us joy. A lot of our possessions actually drag us down – they consume our energy. But we’re so wrapped up in scarcity mindset that we can’t “release” things. I say “release” because the word has a better energy than “get rid of” or “trash.”
Marie Kondō’s book provides a method for going through your “things” and releasing the things that are not serving you. As a result, you will have a household containing only things that bring you joy. Wow. It’s a liberating experience!
Don’t just buy this book. Follow the method. Do the work. Liberate yourself! You’ll feel the difference, even before you’ve completed the work.
This book was my introduction to Ernest Holmes, back in the early 2000’s. Frankly it’s been so long that I need to re-read the book because I don’t remember much of the content. 
The cover on my copy has a colorized version of an engraving from 19th century Nicholas Flammarion’s “L’Atmostphere: Météorologie Populaire” (Is this where J. K. Rowling got her name for the character Nicolas Flammel?) something similar to the one here. This image is such a vivid description of my life the last 20 years or so, and increasingly so as time goes on. Peering through the veil… wheels within wheels. What an experience! Alas, as you can see the current printing does not have this powerful image.
Here’s some of my bookmarked underlinings from the book:
My favorite is – and I have committed it to memory:
“You will rise and you will fall, you will get discouraged, you will become encouraged, but always you will be progressing, always, and so you must simply stick to it and the day will come when you will no longer say, “I hope, I desire, I pray,” but you will say, “I know.”
Others are:
“You have got to practice these things. Take a few moments each day in silence and recognition of Infinite life; Affirm one, It is in me now; two I can use it, my word goes forth into mind; three It takes my word and creates it; four, I see in my life the thing which it has created.
Taking that as a proposition, yo can handle as many things as you want to — as many as you can carry in mind.
Literally speaking, you and I are in an infinite mind which creates for us. Now, then, you can take thought and speak it forth with absolution confiction.
The length of time you must treat: you might have to treat an hour before you believe what you state. Think about it until you absolutely think that is the truth.
Do it two or three times a day, until there is a perfect calm confidence, knowing that it is done.”
“God can only do for you what you let God do through you.”
In other words, you have to ALLOW. Not force, allow. Let go, let God.
“Never have a sense that you are working against anything. There is and can be no opposition, except in your own thought.”
and
“You will find nine times out of ten that the ailments will be in some way related to the emotions.”
We have several other books that list diseases and their underlying emotion. I have noticed this myself. I have seen someone who was shaking in their boots in fear, but covering it up so that no one (but me, the empath) noticed. This person died of brain cancer. I’ve noticed that breast cancer tends to be associated with a blockage of the ability to either nurture or be nurtured. Think about the disease, and what it may symbolize and you’re likely to realize the emotional underpinning.
Bottom line: if you haven’t been exposed to New Thought, be prepared to have your mind blown.
I’m providing links to the newer version “The E Myth Revisited.” I’m not sure if it’s this one or the original “The E Myth” that I read, although the cover for the newer book seems more familiar.
This is a great book, required reading for entrepreneurs.
Besides talking about the difference between working on a business rather than working in a business, he covers a lot of good ground about what it means to really WOW your clients/customers. Wowing your customers builds your brand, builds a steady reliable business, and creates the best advertising of all: word of mouth.
