好多年没看鸡汤了,趁着年底出差坐火车看了几本鸡汤书,这本算是比较过硬的。 我在30岁以前研究最起码七八个领域的知识,包括事业上、学业上和个人兴趣上的。到了今年,我把其中大部分都砍掉了,然而依然吃力,我每年给自己做年度计划的时候,总会发现一堆证仍然没考下来,英语...
评分刚来美国,我发现一个有趣现象:美国白人喜欢晒黑自己。甚至有晒吧,人躺在晒床上,上下都有灯光在照,躺着也能黝黑。川普的皮肤之所以成了橙色,大概就是这么回事。其实和我们的美白肌肤殊途同归,无非是暗示自己社会地位高。有闲暇时间去户外锻炼或游玩,晒黑了好比去了海滩...
评分至少收获以下几点: 学会拒绝 准确自我定位 不是越多越好 保证每日充分睡眠 要记日记 提前准备 正常排版的话,本书至少可以减少80页的厚度。单就这一点来说,是和精要主义的主题相违背的。

Have you ever found yourself stretched too thin?
Do you simultaneously feel overworked and underutilized?
Are you often busy but not productive?
Do you feel like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people’s agendas?
If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist.
The Way of the Essentialist isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done. It is not a time management strategy, or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution towards the things that really matter.
By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy – instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us.
Essentialism is not one more thing – it’s a whole new way of doing everything. A must-read for any leader, manager, or individual who wants to learn who to do less, but better, in every area of their lives, Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.
最触目惊心的一句话:“If you don't prioritize your life, someone else will."
评分是典型的这类畅销书的写法,伴随着核心思想有很多引用和事例来佐证,但后半部分略啰嗦,最后甚至写成了鸡汤。但是!关键的是提醒你需要这样种生活态度,正巧能解决你的困扰,又告诉你怎样才能做到,怎样才能不那么痛苦地做到。书中提到的90 percent rule、power of right routine等都是非常有实用价值的方法。总之,这书值得经常拿出来翻翻,提醒自己要be essential。打算买本英文纸书,完全是因为反感湛庐才不想买中文,另外书中提到的the power of habit 也找来读读看。
评分Planning fallacy 那一段非常能够联系到自己身上……
评分Greg给我的印象就是很会讲,讲得比较清楚的几点是,“努力工作“这种事情要先分辨哪些事情上的努力可以最高产为自己的目标做贡献,为了自己的目标去对request做筛选,No more yes. It’s either HELL YEAH! Or no. 如果一直处于on call的状态,绝对没有精力去思考任务中trivial和vital的差别。Say No可以有很多种方式,里面很有技巧的一种是不正面拒绝而是说you are open to A, I am willing to B. 一个半小时翻完了,等等有意思的回头记一笔。
评分4.5星. 单独因为90%rules,的确让我又多了条原则 和the power of less有些重合,但更多实际操作的建议。 play is essential. 90% rule等,还是有些新内容的。不过排版就没power of less清晰了,比如可以在例子前后做出标记,方便读者跳过。但至少行文结构还是清晰的,哪些例子哪些观点结论都可以一眼扫到
