Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones
★ 8.3 (57 ratings) author: James Clear publishing house: Avery 2018 - 10 other title: Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way To Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones
No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving--every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results.
If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights.
Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field.
Learn how to:
* make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy);
* overcome a lack of motivation and willpower;
* design your environment to make success easier;
* get back on track when you fall off course;
...and much more.
Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.
Do Nothing Douban Eggplant.place
★ 8.0 (6 ratings) author: Celeste Headlee publishing house: Harmony 2020 - 3
“A welcome antidote to our toxic hustle culture of burnout.”—Arianna Huffington
“This book is so important and could truly save lives.”—Elizabeth Gilbert
“A clarion call to work smarter [and] accomplish more by doing less.”—Adam Grant
We work feverishly to make ourselves happy. So why are we so miserable?
Despite our constant search for new ways to optimize our bodies and minds for peak performance, human beings are working more instead of less, living harder not smarter, and becoming more lonely and anxious. We strive for the absolute best in every aspect of our lives, ignoring what we do well naturally and reaching for a bar that keeps rising higher and higher. Why do we measure our time in terms of efficiency instead of meaning? Why can’t we just take a break?
In Do Nothing, award-winning journalist Celeste Headlee illuminates a new path ahead, seeking to institute a global shift in our thinking so we can stop sabotaging our well-being, put work aside, and start living instead of doing. As it turns out, we’re searching for external solutions to an internal problem. We won’t find what we’re searching for in punishing diets, productivity apps, or the latest self-improvement schemes. Yet all is not lost—we just need to learn how to take time for ourselves, without agenda or profit, and redefine what is truly worthwhile.
Pulling together threads from history, neuroscience, social science, and even paleontology, Headlee examines long-held assumptions about time use, idleness, hard work, and even our ultimate goals. Her research reveals that the habits we cling to are doing us harm; they developed recently in human history, which means they are habits that can, and must, be broken. It’s time to reverse the trend that’s making us all sadder, sicker, and less productive, and return to a way of life that allows us to thrive.

高效工作,有几大要素。

人,工作,环境。

人有不同的生理心理特点,体力精力状态,思维情感倾向。

工作有简单复杂,轻重缓急,需要专注的注意力和还是发散的创造力。

环境分内部和外部。光线,噪音,空间,温度,装修等是外部。饥渴还是饱足,兴奋还是劳累时,是内部。

作者的五个策略,目的就是让人能根据自己的状态选择工作,改变内外环境来调整自己的状态,从而能实现每天两个小时的高效工作。这里的高效,不简单的是指效率,而是指影响,impact。

做高impact的工作,通过意识到自己的内在状态和外在环境和工作所需的资源,做有意识的选择。通过调整内外环境,使自己达到理想的状态。

作者的建议和策略,简单,可行,值得尝试。

Beyond Order Douban
author: Jordan B. Peterson publishing house: Allen Lane 2021 - 3
The long-awaited sequel to 12 RULES FOR LIFE, which has sold over 5 million copies around the world
In 12 Rules for Life, acclaimed public thinker and clinical psychologist Jordan B. Peterson offered an antidote to the chaos in our lives: eternal truths applied to modern anxieties. His insights have helped millions of readers and resonated powerfully around the world.
Now in this much-anticipated sequel, Peterson goes further, showing that part of life's meaning comes from reaching out into the domain beyond what we know, and adapting to an ever-transforming world. While an excess of chaos threatens us with uncertainty, an excess of order leads to a lack of curiosity and creative vitality. Beyond Order therefore calls on us to balance the two fundamental principles of reality - order and chaos - and reveals the profound meaning that can be found on the path that divides them.
In times of instability and suffering, Peterson reminds us that there are sources of strength on which we can all draw: insights borrowed from psychology, philosophy, and humanity's greatest myths and stories. Drawing on the hard-won truths of ancient wisdom, as well as deeply personal lessons from his own life and clinical practice, Peterson offers twelve new principles to guide readers towards a more courageous, truthful and meaningful life.
思维的囚徒 Douban
author: [美] 亚历克斯·佩塔克斯 / [美] 伊莱恩·丹顿 translator: 赵晓瑞 publishing house: 中信出版社 2019 - 7
本书作者亚历克斯·佩塔克斯师从世界著名心理学家维克多·弗兰克尔,本书与维克多·弗兰克尔的《活出生命的意义》一脉相承,将弗兰克尔的意义疗法应用到了现代的工作和生活当中,启发读者发现工作和生活当中的意义,并通过“意义”来对抗焦虑、抑郁和空虚。
本书提出了活出生命的意义7原则:自由地选择你的态度,实现有意义的目标,发现生命瞬间的意义,千万不要违心做事,从远处审视自己,改变你的关注焦点,要敢于超越自己。
意义疗法从集中营应用到当下的工作环境中,它具有如此旺盛的生命力,至今仍在影响着个人、公司甚至我们的社会。
May 29, 2024 read
第二次阅读此书。

人生难免虚无,面对虚无,人类行动。由此,弗兰克尔认为,人类的心理原始动力,不是弗洛伊德所说的追求享乐的力比多,不是阿德勒的权力意志与自卑,而是对意义的追寻。找到意义,人就能过良好生活。他把意义定义为“与自己的本性或核心本质达成的共鸣”,且认为意义无处不在,无时不在,人要找到意义就好。

本书作者,试图做的事,是总结弗兰克尔的意义疗法学说,并帮助读者找到工作和职场的意义。在这个意义上,他俩做的不错。除了总结出意义疗法的七条原则之外,还提出了可以指导生活和工作OPA原则:O = Other, 和他人建议有意义的连结;P = Purpose,做有崇高意义的事儿;A = Active,积极热情的去拥抱生命,拥抱生活。

弗兰克尔是个挺厉害的人物,曾师从弗洛伊德和阿德勒,但之后自创门户,十几岁就发表论文,二十几岁就在当时欧洲心理学界出名。让他更为出名的是,他在二战时被关进集中营,并在其中完善了自己的学说。之后的一本《Man searching for Meaning》被评为美国最有影响力的十本书之一。

这本书的确有疗愈作用。意义非常重要,追寻意义,过有意义的生活,是人们摆脱虚无的重要方法。书中的一句话对我很有帮助,大意是,当你还没有找到你生活的意义,继续寻找意义,就是你的生活意义。

当然,现在我的看法不同了,但那不是该写在这本书的书评里的。

Game Changers Douban
author: Dave Asprey publishing house: Harper Wave 2018
The bestselling author of Head Strong and The Bulletproof Diet answers the question "How do I kick more ass?"—providing proven techniques for becoming happier, healthier, and smarter, culled from the wisdom and insight of world-class thought leaders and mavericks of science and business.
When Dave Asprey started his Bulletproof Radio podcast more than five years ago, he sought out thought leaders and influencers in an array of disciplines, from biochemists to business titans to mediation masters. These folks were some of the top performing humans in the world, people who had changed their areas of study or even pioneered entirely new fields. Dave wanted to know: What did they have in common? What mattered most to them? What makes them so successful at what they do—and what makes them happiest? And so, at the end of each interview, Dave began asking the same question: "What are your top three recommendations for people who want to kick more ass?"
Combing through the recordings, looking for patterns and common threads, he found that the wisdom gleaned from these highly successful people can be distilled into three main categories: body, mind, and spirit. Game Changers is the culmination of Dave’s years-long statistical analysis of these conversations, offering thirty-six science-backed, high performance "laws" that are a virtual playbook for how to become not only more successful, but also happier and healthier.
Each chapter of Game Changers is structured around one of these laws. Dave combines anecdotes from game changers like Daniel Amen, David Perlmutter, Arianna Huffington, Dan Harris, and Tim Ferris with his own research and practical advice that readers can put into action immediately. From practicing gratitude and mindfulness to prioritizing social connections and sex, taming fear and anxiety to optimizing nutrition and movement, Dave brings together the wisdom of today’s game-changers to help everyone optimize their lives.

力量从哪里来 Douban
李一诺
★ 7.4 (5 ratings) author: 李一诺 publishing house: 中信出版集团 2021
我是李一诺。我经常被问到的问题是:“你怎么可以做成那么多事?”
人们只看到光鲜亮丽的标签,其实真实生活都是一地鸡毛。
我的起点,和大家一样,是从一个个“不敢”、一个个“不会”开始的:
——初入职场,不敢开口,不敢成功,不会当领导。
——职场小成,不敢 要孩子,不会教育孩子,生活与工作无法平衡。
——人到中年,不敢转场,不敢做梦,不敢想“大问题”。
——生活里琐碎的烦,不会面对;生活的挑战,不敢“臣服”。
最终,知道内心的障碍,但不敢面对真实的自我。
所以每一件看上去“做成”的事,背后是十件、百件“没做成”的事。
面对未知,我会恐惧;面对竞争,我会犹豫;面对孩子,我会焦虑。
要想走出来,别无他路,只有从不敢到面对。一旦面对, 你就会知道,等待皇冠,并不能等来事业成功;放低自己,并不能启发他人;使自己渺小,并不能改变世界;不敢发光, 就没有真正活过。
回看我的轨迹,是一次次不得不“面对”每一个“不敢”后,得到力量的旅程。
这本书虽然讲的是我的故事,但对你肯定不陌生。希望你也能在这里找到自己的内心金矿、光和力量。

冥想 Douban

 20世纪最具影响力的瑜伽大师斯瓦米·拉玛首部简体中文译作《冥想》,一本书讲透冥想本质和修习方法。“冥想让你认识真正的自我,它带来的变化是别的任何事物都无法给予你的。”
 作者在喜马拉雅山曾前后修行达四十余载,与山间雪溪及白熊为伴,《冥想》揭秘了山区隐居高人的最简易修行方法。
 在欧美,冥想早已成为从硅谷到好莱坞成功人士放松身心,增加灵感的重要修行方式。60、70年代,欧美兴起的新时代运动中,冥想即对社会生活产生了重大的影响。乔布斯用其来锻炼自己的头脑,《穆赫兰道》导演大卫·林奇称其为“真理”,奥普拉·温弗瑞、比尔·福特、对冲基金教父达里奥、传媒大亨默多克都是冥想的追随者。根据哈佛大学幸福课中的数据显示,冥想对于打破消极思维方式,建立积极思维方式有明显的作用,因而成为对抗抑郁的重要工具。
本书作者斯瓦米·拉玛大师曾经在喜马拉雅山区修行达四十余载,期间他跟随多位常年隐居的瑜伽大师生活和学习。1949年-1956年,这位颇具慧根的修行者来到欧洲学习,随后又远渡美国。在那里,他将二十余年间学到的隐秘而特别的修行方法融合西方现代瑜伽理念,创办了喜马拉雅瑜伽研究所,并开始传授他独特的练习方法,成为喜马拉雅瑜伽流派创始人。斯瓦米对瑜伽的理解精准又务实,他不强调瑜伽玄虚的一面,而强调真正能使习练者受益的方法和过程,对世界范围内的当代瑜伽产生了重要影响。在所有瑜伽知识当中,他特别提出“冥想”是最简单可行,却又最基础最根本的一种练习。他认为当你通过简单日常的练习一步一步进入到真正的冥想状态时,身体和心灵的变化将会超出你的想象。
书中从冥想概念入手,谈及呼吸、体式、饮食、睡眠、精神等多个方面在冥想练习中的表现,特别详细讲述了瑜伽呼吸控制法和唤醒中脉等练习方法,既有心灵的指引,又是一套切实可行的指南。正像作者所说的:他所写的是任何普通人都可以练习的冥想。
内容简介:
这是一本介绍如何进行内在修习的指南书。在这本书里,斯瓦米·拉玛大师教导我们如何通过冥想的练习超越日常思维给身体造成的压力和问题,进入到一种清晰的意识之中。这可以使我们获得指引,打开身体的能量,永保愉悦感和身心的平静。
冥想练习的传授打开了我们通向自身内在的一扇门,这是与我们每天息息相关却从未被我们注意过的。书中传授的方法是印度瑜伽士千百年来和世间万物和谐共处的秘密以及面对人生困难、了解自我本真的终极方法。

Breath Douban Goodreads
author: James Nestor publishing house: Riverhead Books 2020 - 5
No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly.
There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences.
Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe.
Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is.
Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.
