The 80/20 Principle: The Secret of Achieving More with Less | Richard Koch | Nicholas Brealey

Work Less, Achieve More — The Timeless Principle That Changes Everything

The 80/20 Principle reveals one of the great secrets of highly effective people and organisations: that 80% of results come from just 20% of efforts. First published in 1997, Richard Koch's landmark book has sold over one million copies worldwide and continues to transform the way people think about time, money, relationships, and success.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, manager, student, or simply someone who wants to get more out of life, this book gives you a practical framework to identify what truly matters — and ruthlessly eliminate what doesn't.
