Taj Bortz’s Reviews > Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less > Status Update

Could be condensed into a fairly short presentation. Each chapter is just a bullet point or two. Examples are unoriginal and oversimplified, making them not extremely convincing or exciting.

There are some interesting points in this book - maybe enough for a few bullet points per chapter. Most of the examples are grossly oversimplified to fit the book's theme, and almost all of them will be cases you've heard of before if you do any reading. Nothing surprising or delightful there, so I think if someone just did a quick slideshow of the bullet points, I'd get the same value out of the book.
