The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

WONDERFUL
Where does The Power of Less rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Top of the hill ~!~
Who was your favorite character and why?
The list of ideas he gives
What does Fred Stella bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He reads faster then I do with expression. It's nice to have someone read to me...I fall asleep when I read a book. I can sit on the computer and listen and get work done also.
What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?
Oh where do I start...the habits, focusing, etc. Leo takes the pressure off and gives power to change where you are with what you can handle.
Any additional comments?
This book is simply life changing ~!!!~

This book has helped me tremendously. I’ve been listening to this book in my free time when I would otherwise not be doing reading, while driving in the car or walking or going to the gym. The ideas and concepts in this book I have help me debug some of my faulty patterns and behaviors and thinking, that is keeping me back from being happy and productive.

Less is more. Simple Life
What made the experience of listening to The Power of Less the most enjoyable?
Understanding that less is better. We buy so much and waste so much money, energy on things we don't need.
What did you like best about this story?
Understanding that we can live with less and that by doing so we get rid of a lot of stress it causes.
Have you listened to any of Fred Stella’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did then listened again.
Any additional comments?
We should all do this. Live with less. Be more in present and use what we need and not waste so much.

Excellent philosophy
If you ever feel out of control in your life, this will help you take back that control. Busy life does not have to be stressful. If you follow the philosophy of this book, it will make sure that you don't crash and burnt through your busy life.

Good, a bit unoriginal
The ideas and advice are mostly solid, but Getting Things Done advocates would recognize many similar concepts. This doesn't diminish the message, it's quite succinct and is easier to internalize the methodology.
Without spoiling the listen, the final chapters don't have the same clarity and sharpness that the initial chapters do, but overall... a useful contribution to order, peace and sanity in today's world!

Great and informative
The book has a lot of specific detail and advice, which is both helpful and charming at times. At first, the narrator sounds a bit movie-commercial-like, but you get used to it; personally, I grew to like it. Listened on 1.25-1.5x and it helped. Overall good book.

Could be an Essay
Like 90% of non-fiction these days, a simple essay would deliver the same idea just as effectively as an entire book. Same here... great ideas, but no need for a book. 1 to 2 chapters could have done it.
