Learn to WORK SMART (NOT HARD) by exploring THE PARETO PRINCIPLE (80\/20 rule) while enjoying a beautiful, powerful, and engaging story with your kids!\n“This book’s narrative around prioritization fits snugly within its well-illustrated pages…it caused me to reflect on my own working life and priorities!”\n-Eric, Amazon Reviewer\n“Wait.

This book was a game-changer for our family!”\n-Ms. Miller, Award-winning middle school teacher\nThere is a time and a place for perfection, but it might not be as often as you think. The Pareto Principle (also known as the 80\/20 rule) suggests that you can usually get near-perfect outcomes with much less effort. Join Kate Koala and Austin Alpaca as they face an impossible task under a time crunch and have to make the hard choice to not let their ambition for “perfect” get in the way of “good enough.”\nThis motivational reading book teaches children AND adults how to: Work smart and not hard Prioritize and stay focus on the most important things Get great outcomes without burnout Overcome unhealthy perfectionism\nFor the nerds, the research behind the theme: The Pareto Principle can help manage perfectionism. Studies show that strong trends of perfectionism, particularly in young people, have been increasing over time driven by the higher expectations that people place on themselves and others (Curran, Hill, 2017). Though it’s sometimes beneficial, perfectionism can correlate heavily with self-esteem and other psychological difficulties at all ages (Moon, Stoeber, 2007) and can result in career burnout (Chang, Chou, Liou, Tu 2016).\n-----\nAbout the series: From Google strategist and author Ben Okon, the award-winning series Younger Me Academy redefines the educational picture book genre with the perfect read-along adventure series for families who love to learn together: Its numerous accolades include a coveted 5-stars from Reader's Favorite, featured in top literary magazines like Foreword, a record \"#2 Most Popular\" product on a leading global crowdfunding platform, and advocacy from top educators and industry leaders at Apple Media, Hanover Research, Betterment, and more.\nEvery Younger Me Academy book: Teaches a research-backed life skill valuable for children AND adults\nIs designed for read-aloud in 3-5 minutes with rhythm and rhyme\nTeaches through adventure stories (not lectures or lessons!)\nHas vivid, full-page illustrations\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1961428040\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.1961428040.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ben Okon|Jeevankar Bansiwal\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
