读后感

很多人都有这样的困惑：为什么我老大不小了，还是一事无成？为什么我有一百个想法，却从不去实行？为什么我的拖延症无药可救？为什么我戒烟、减肥周而复始，总是事倍功半？其实，你之所以会产生这些困惑，都是因为你没有放大自我效能。 前段时间我为一个知识付费平台拆解过一本...  

按照书里的提示和顺序，可以自己写一写自己的目标、使命感，虽然这间断的过程会让人觉得焦躁，但也是审视自己内心的好机会。里面有一些启发，至少让自己觉得哪怕这种心流听起来像撞大运的事，也是有规律可循的。里面反复强调了自己的激情，使命之所在便是驱动力，也充分说明，...

用户评价

从脑科学、心理心态、行动方案上，一步一步讲述怎么进入心流High performance，常听英文播客Tim Ferris Show, the knowledge project之类的应该挺熟这一套

找到好奇与热情，注入心流不断训练。注意正反馈，建立情感支持系统，注意不同类型信息的摄入，扬长避短（短项定期训练与突破）。注意休息，勤勉，调整压力阀门。

It is what it is. He finishes this book because he needs to get into the flow lol

内容就是那些内容，写得丝丝入扣悬念迭起，堪比侦探小说，赞一个。好书有很多种，其中一种提供新的framework，将既有知识重新组织、改变人的认识状态和行动时的意识，本书当属此列。把尼采的超人哲学解释为通过持续flow实现伟大目标，算一个典型。
