The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times Goodreads Douban
author: Michelle Obama publishing house: Crown 2022 - 11
<b><b>#1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES </i>AND <i>USA TODAY</i> BESTSELLER - ONE OF <i>TIME</i>'S 100 MUST-READ BOOKS OF 2022 - </b>In an inspiring follow-up to her critically acclaimed, #1 bestselling memoir <i>Becoming, </i>former First Lady Michelle Obama shares practical wisdom and powerful strategies for staying hopeful and balanced in today's highly uncertain world. </b><br /><br />There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life's big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In<i> The Light We Carry, </i> she opens a frank and honest dialogue with readers, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?<br /><br />Michelle Obama offers readers a series of fresh stories and insightful reflections on change, challenge, and power, including her belief that when we light up for others, we can illuminate the richness and potential of the world around us, discovering deeper truths and new pathways for progress. Drawing from her experiences as a mother, daughter, spouse, friend, and First Lady, she shares the habits and principles she has developed to successfully adapt to change and overcome various obstacles--the earned wisdom that helps her continue to "become." She details her most valuable practices, like "starting kind," "going high," and assembling a "kitchen table" of trusted friends and mentors. With trademark humor, candor, and compassion, she also explores issues connected to race, gender, and visibility, encouraging readers to work through fear, find strength in community, and live with boldness.<br /><br />"When we are able to recognize our own light, we become empowered to use it," writes Michelle Obama. A rewarding blend of powerful stories and profound advice that will ignite conversation, <i>The Light We Carry</i> inspires readers to examine their own lives, identify their sources of gladness, and connect meaningfully in a turbulent world.

非常标准的鸡汤,扣题作文。这些trivial的事情感觉任何人都能写,只不过是因为她的身份加持。反复强调的the Light到底是什么意思。就好像中文的,你是我的光,你是我的力量。你也能找到你的光……学学英文表达可以。

Designing Your New Work Life:How to Thrive Change and Find Happiness at Work
author: 【美】比尔·博内特 / 【美】戴夫·伊万斯 translator: 徐娟 / 徐娥 publishing house: 中信出版集团 2021 - 10
许多阅读这本书的人,每周平均工作时间超过50小时,工作超过50年,总工作时长将达到130000小时,我们这一生,几乎没有什么能比工作花费更多的时间和精力了。
在这样一件我们几乎要花费一生时间的事上,有多少人在说着我不喜欢我的工作。
是时候转变我们看待工作的思维模式了,我们值得拥有一份既有创意又有意思的工作。
这本书是风靡全球的《斯坦福大学人生设计课》的作者的新作。他们创立了斯坦福大学人生实验室,在本书中,他们要用设计思维解决你能想到的所有工作难题。
设计是用来解决问题的。你要用设计思维重新定义你在工作中遇到的问题,设计你在工作中的影响力和认可度。你必然会面对不同类型的工作压力和职业倦怠,你可以通过设计有效地转变你的心态。金钱和意义通过有效的设计,也不是两难的选择题,你可以设计出一份二者兼得的工作。办公室政治你很可能也会遇到,我们不能假装这个问题不存在,而是要用设计思维重新理解政治博弈之后的影响力和权力的运作。
如果说人生设计让你开启了一场人生实验,让你开始思考如何真正地活出精彩的一生,那职业设计就是人生设计的出口、落地和执行,原因很简单,精彩的一生最重要的一个维度,就是精彩的工作。
我们要精彩地工作,漂亮地活着,设计工作,然后设计人生!

原来第一本我已经看过,但却没有总结和实践。这本书是需要实践的,不然用处不大。有一些观点倒是开拓了一些思路,比如“当下已经足够好”的心态,什么是好的“办公室政治”,成长性辞职(重新设计-辞得漂亮-体面离开)等。是一本务实不务虚的实践书。
