    With AI upending work and life, the bestselling authors of Smart Brevity offer a one-stop survival guide to dramatically improving your life, work, and happiness.

    • Toxic complexity clogs our meetings, inboxes, calendars—even in our daily habits. We can do so much more, but first we need to do less.

    • Simplify shows you how. It's a step-by-step playbook for spending most of your time doing things that make you feel and perform better.

    This urgent manual lets you take control of what is essential in a world where AI might simplify you out of a job. Maximize success by simplifying every aspect of your life. Ruthlessly distill what really matters to you, then clear the space to focus on what you do best.

    • Simplify will help anyone thrive, from interns to CEOs.

    The authors draw on lessons from founding two hot startups—Axios and Politico—and their years of experience advising Fortune 500 companies. Simplify is packed with advice from some of the world's most successful people—your handbook for eliminating dreary distractions... so you can focus on what matters.
    Jim VandeHei is co-founder and CEO of Axios and the New York Times bestselling author of Just the Good Stuff and Smart Brevity: The Power of Saying More with Less. VandeHei is also co-founder and former CEO of Politico and spent more than a decade as a reporter for The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. View titles by Jim VandeHei
