Introduction

Modern life is a mistake. The way we organize our personal and social lives? Yes, that's the mistake. We're working to live, but somehow ended up living to work. Sounds like we took a wrong turn at the last evolutionary crossroads, doesn't it?

But fear not! There's a way out of this topsy-turvy world, and it's called the 80/20 principle. This funky little concept by Richard Koch says that roughly 80% of results come from 20% or fewer causes. It's been a hit in business and economics, driving progress throughout the modern world.
