The German Way of Time: Letting Go of 90% to Gain Freedom and Results
In Episode 17 of Business Book Insights, we explore the powerful time philosophy behind the Japanese bestseller “How Germans Manage Their Time: Letting Go of 90% to Gain Freedom and Results.”

Why Germans treat time as a resource, not an emotion
The art of radical prioritization — doing less to achieve more
How systems replace motivation and reduce stress
Why boundaries and saying “No” are essential for a balanced life
The role of rest, simplicity, and clarity in real productivity
