About the book
Navigate the chaos of information overload and supercharge your efficiency with Lean Learning, a groundbreaking guide that reveals a counterintuitive approach to success: winning by learning less.
From an early age, we’re taught that more is better. More money, more information, more skills. But times have changed. What was once valuable has now become a burden, and if information alone were the answer, we’d all be exactly where we want.
In today’s fast-moving world, the difference between success and failure is not in what you know but in what you do with what you know. Lean Learning equips you with the tools to do just that, propelling you towards your goals with greater efficiency, purpose, and results.
Pat Flynn, a seasoned and serial entrepreneur and business mentor to millions, draws on his own experiences and of those who have successfully implemented his techniques. Lean Learning isn’t just about absorbing information efficiently—it’s about reshaping your approach to knowledge altogether.

“This book is a lifeline. It’s the exact blueprint to cut through the noise, trust yourself, and start building the business and life you desire.”

Amy Porterfield
author of the New York Times
bestseller Two Weeks Notice

“I’m SO TIRED of getting overwhelmed and bogged down by information. How to learn smart, act fast, and succeed turns out to be Pat’s real genius. This book is a total gem.”
