Publisher's Summary
This is a book for working women and mothers who are ready to release the culturally inherited belief that their worth is equal to their productivity, and instead create a personal and professional life that's based on presence, meaning, and joy. As opposed to focusing on "fitting it all in", time management, and leaning in, as so many books geared at ambitious women do, this book embraces the notion that through doing less women can have - and be - more.
The addiction to busyness and the obsession with always trying to do more leads women, especially working mothers, to feel like they're always failing their families, their careers, their spouses, and themselves. This book will give women the permission and tools to change the way they approach their lives and allow them to embrace living in tune with the cyclical nature of the feminine, cutting out the extraneous busyness from their lives so they have more satisfaction and joy, and letting themselves be more often instead of doing all the time. Do Less offers the listener a series of 14 experiments to try to see what would happen if she did less in one specific way. So, rather than approaching doing less as an entire life overhaul (which is overwhelming in and of itself), this book gives the listener bite-sized steps to try incorporating over two weeks!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A really practical guidebook to doing less!
I really enjoyed this book by Kate Northrup, she successfully gives us practical ways to simplify your life in order to do less, to then create more. I love her relatable examples, that really drive home the messages within the book. I loved the structure of the book and how it was laid out in experiments that we can easily try for ourselves. For me, the main ah-ha moment was learning to structure my life and work around my cycle and the moon phases, this blew my mind, but also made complete sense once Kate explained it. I would highly recommend this book to any woman, but especially working mothers.

It's OK but not really much new stuff or new ideas
The reader is doing a great job, it's a very easy one to listen to and enjoyable. But I feel like there aren't many new ideas in there.

Basic, simple, good starting point.
A book full of advice & experiments on making lists, setting boundaries, simplifying, delegating & asking for help. Many personal stories from the author & what works for her. Basic time management strategies. If you’re looking for simple foundational concepts on time management it’s a good starting point.

Absolute Game Changer!
Kate’s approach to time and energy management is a game changer. Her work applies to all women not just mums and I’d bet there will be a heap of men who will benefit from this insight too.
So many light bulbs for me! I didn’t want it end!

Loved it!
I got so much from this book!! Thank you Audible for the recommendation. So many words of wisdom, and little nuggets of mothering gold in this day and age of impossibly high standards, thank you Kate Northrup.

Is it a MLM resource?
I like the idea of doing less. I’m currently a burnt out parent and I hoped the book might be more about parenting but it is not.
I was a bit miffed at first. Information about cycles and periods wasn’t in depth enough. There was also a lot of “trust your body” “trust pregnancy” but as someone whose body has tried to kill them twice during (and after) pregnancy while sending completely false information to my brain, I found that section particularly difficult to listen to.
There are lots of references to a “direct sales” business. On further digging it seems the author is heavily involved in a MLM. The book suddenly makes a lot more sense and the irrelevance to my own life became more clear.
