The 20%: Applying the 80/20 Rule to Life & Work
The 80/20 rule (or Pareto Principle) is a simple mathematical concept that was observed by Pareto:

He wrote a book called 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works— although the title does sound a tad misleading, it couldn’t be more true. Hearing about his book lead me to Headspace which ultimately got me into meditation.
