You've gravitated towards these books because they champion a philosophy of ruthless prioritization and deliberate design – 'Essentialism' by stripping away the trivial to focus on the vital few, and 'Remote' by questioning the default assumption of physical co-location to maximize productivity and autonomy. This connection speaks to your underlying desire to craft a more meaningful and effective existence, free from the clutter of the non-essential.
