This review is from: The Breakthrough Principle of 16x (Paperback)

The idea of the 20/80 is one of the biggest ideas of all times.
That most of the results (say, 80%) comes from a minority of causes (say 20%).
That way, the effectiveness of the 20% most important of causes, is 16 times higher than that of the other 80% (20%/80% divided by 80%/20%. You get 16 times better.

Used smartly, the principle of X16 can make a huge different in quality of life (happiness) as well in effectiveness across all kinds of activities.

This review is from: The Breakthrough Principle of 16x (Paperback)

The 4:8 Principle: The Secret to a Joy-Filled Life
16 X is the essence of the 80/20 Principle.

Author Richard Koch wrote this short booklet following his other three books on the subject. It is simply outstanding material crammed into 43 pages. Koch's other 80/20 books include: The 80/20 Principle, The 80/20 Individual, and Living The 80/20 Way. The 80/20 Principle was used for 7 years as The 1% Club's textbook (in addition to Success Is Not An Accident)Success Is Not an Accident: Change Your Choices; Change Your Life. The 80/20 Individual was a poor sequel that I could barely make it through. Living The 80/20 Way became my favorite because it focused more on the personal applications of the Pareto Principle. Then came 16X where the author uses the 80/20 principle in producing the book. Make sure everyone you work with or do business with has read this one!

This review is from: The Breakthrough Principle of 16x (Paperback)

This is more like a pamphlet than a book. You can read it from cover to cover in an hour. The content is overly simplistic and repetative. If you have read any book about 80/20 rule then you already know everything this book covers. No real insights offered. No need to waste your time or money.
