The Power of Less

by Brian Clark

The Power of Less

I just finished reading Leo Babauta’s new book The Power of Less. Simply put, it’s wonderful, and I think everyone should read it.

I could do a praise-filled review like Tim Ferriss, or even a video endorsement of the book like Chris Brogan… but I’m not going to.

I’m going with less.

Pick up a copy of The Power of Less today. I give it my highest recommendation, and it’s less than 12 bucks at Amazon.

Thesis WordPress theme

Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give you a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.

With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like Copyblogger, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.

Perhaps I’m easily persuaded, but I am — persuaded.

Brian, for less, you could have just twittered this. ;)

Not quite available in the UK yet, just got an update from Amazon saying might not get my pre-order until early March. Rats!

Leo is one of the people on my “buy everything this person puts out” list.

Book. Good. Buy.

Book made sense.

A nice way to incorporate the book’s message of streamlining and simplicity into a to-the-point review. Sometimes less is more and intrigues others to look further into a product to find out more about it.

Thanks for the heads up. I think this would be a good one to take a look at.

The book was well-written and a fast read. (I powered through it in one night.)

In my opinion, the beef is in the second half of the book.

Nice to see you’re taking the message of the book to heart. ;)

12 Tracy February 16, 2009 at 8:40 pm

OK

13 Jet February 16, 2009 at 11:22 pm

Good,i will read it.

14 Sean D'Souza February 16, 2009 at 11:37 pm

Um, Brian: Thanks for the heads up on the book.

Are you saying that
less
is…

more?

It’s been a while since I’ve read a book on this topic, so I may just order a copy.

What’s funny is each time I purchase a non-technical book I’m (happily) reminded that not all books cost $59.99! Oh, the joys of being a developer…

17 Virginia Ginsburg February 17, 2009 at 10:20 am

Awesome – just ordered it!

Thanks!

I’m picking it up at the library today–for less than $12. :) Plus, I won’t have to find a place to store it. I think Leo would approve.

19 Chris February 17, 2009 at 12:06 pm

An excellent book. Definitely worth picking up.

20 Carla February 17, 2009 at 12:51 pm

@Dixie – you’re lucky it’s even at your library! Though I’m in the Bay Area, it’s rare to find a book published within the last five years.

21 Dan February 18, 2009 at 12:45 pm

I agree. Fantastic book.

22 Igor February 19, 2009 at 6:13 am

I can see by the length of your posting :)
I’ll read it, thanks!
