The Surprising Power of Having Less
Imagine a baseball star who signs a $2 million contract and chooses to live in a 1978 Volkswagen van. This is Daniel Norris, who works at an outdoor store during off-seasons and lives on just $800 monthly. His first major league at-bat? A historic home run. Norris embodies the central insight of "Stretch" - our greatest achievements often come not from acquiring more resources, but from creatively using what we already have. This counterintuitive principle has made the book required reading at companies like Google and Microsoft. The evidence is compelling: those who stretch their existing resources frequently outperform those who chase more. What if the key to success isn't getting more but doing more with what you have? The answer might transform how you approach every challenge in your life. We're wired to want what others have. During California's worst drought, while most communities used 1,500 gallons of water monthly, some wealthy Woodside residents consumed up to 75,000 gallons to maintain lush lawns. Why do we chase resources so relentlessly? Four psychological patterns explain this behavior. First, we constantly make upward social comparisons - wanting what others have, especially when social media bombards us with carefully curated highlight reels. Research confirms this damages our happiness and well-being. Second, we suffer from functional fixedness - seeing resources only for their conventional purposes. Third, we accumulate mindlessly without purpose. Joshua Millburn's story illustrates this trap: despite his six-figure salary and luxury possessions, he felt miserable working 70-80 hour weeks while accumulating debt. Finally, we squander resources when we have too many, as demonstrated by Pets.com spending $12 million on advertising to generate just $619,000 in sales before collapsing.
