WHAT IS TRUE IN COOKING IS TRUE IN LIFE.

In The Reduction, accomplished chef and restaurateur turned luxury real estate agent Jeffrey Saad and former NFL linebacker turned real estate coach Steve Shull invite readers to discover that the secret to finding joy is simpler than society has led them to believe.

When life seems dull or flavorless, we seek what we think is missing. Were left searching for more: more money, more time, more pleasure, more comfort, more respect, more love . . . more everything. But adding more only creates a life that seems full, packed with schedules, never-ending to-do lists, decisions to make, and goals to reach. In this overpacked, watered-down life, joy can be difficult to find. However, as with cooking any exquisite meal, the secret isnt in adding more but in reducing the stock of life to its boldest elements.

Reduction is the process of boiling your life down to the essentials, removing everything that waters down your joy so you can get all the flavor and none of the filler.

With every chapter, Jeffrey and Steve offer wisdom, both old and new, that will help readers get rid of the junk in their lives (and, more importantly, in their heads) that is weighing them down from living life to the fullest. Backed by research and the authors lived experiences, The Reduction will help you examine not whats missing from your life but how to find comfort and happiness with whats already there. By removing this excess, you will find that life isnt about what you can obtain but rather who you can become.

If youre tired of carrying around the baggage and clutter that comes from a life of more, and youre ready to live a life worth savoring, then its time to turn up the heat, set the timer, and start the process of Reduction.
