The Little Things

by Andy Andrews

Short essays on the small choices that produce big outcomes: attention to detail, the way you treat people, the words you use. It is Andrews in essay mode rather than parable mode, and the essays on words and on perspective are his best short pieces.

CLICK TO SEE

Read it if…

you want Andrews without the time-travel.

Skip it if…

you want a sustained argument.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Little things are the big things in disguise.
  2. Words shape outcomes.
  3. Details are character made visible.

Do this first

Read the essay on the words you use and track one word for a day.

Our verdict

Andrews in essay mode.
