    About this audiobook

    Wall Street Journal Bestseller

    Have you ever wondered why we spend so much time and energy thinking about the big challenges in our lives when all the evidence proves it’s actually the little things that change everything?  That’s right…  Absolutely everything.

    Little Things embodies Andy’s own approach to life and work, detailing for the first time some of the exclusive material that he uses to teach and coach some of the most successful corporations, teams, and individuals around the world. In his unique humorous style, Andy shows how people succeed by actually going against the modern adage, “don’t sweat the small stuff”.  By contrast, Andy proves that it is in concentrating on the smaller things that we add value and margin.

    Discover a new perspective and a game plan for meeting various challenges, such as:

    • Managing life in a society that seems to be constantly offended by something or someone
    • Creating change that is permanent and not short term
    • Dramatically increasing results by harnessing the fraction of margin between second place and first
    • Understanding our spiritual connection with God and how that affects planning and outcome
    • Identifying the very moment when asking the question why? multiplies the success of an endeavor
    • Recognizing the smallest details that ensure the greatest success

      I really liked this but it could have been condensed to half this size easily. Worth a listen however.
    • 2/5
      After few chapters, I feel the book very randomly jumps from one topic to another.
    • 5/5
      Fantastic, magical, and inspirational. This is quintessential Andy Andrews indeed.
    • 5/5
      Andy Andrews is one of my favorite authors. He makes you think and really look at things from a different perspective.
