Why do the rich get richer even in a financial crisis? In his new book the bestselling author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" confirms his message and challenges readers to change their context and act in a new way. In this timely new book, Robert Kiyosaki takes a new and hard-hitting look at the factors that impact people from all walks of life as they struggle to cope with change and challenges that impact their financial world. In "An Unfair Advantage: The Power of Financial Education", Robert underscores his messages and challenges readers to change their context and act in a new way. Readers are advised to stop blindly accepting that they are "disadvantaged" people with limited options and challenge the preconception that they will struggle financially all of their lives. Robert's fresh approach to his time-tested messages includes clear, actionable steps that any individual or family can take, starting with education. Education becomes applied knowledge, a powerful tactic with measurable results. In true "Rich Dad" style, readers will be challenged to understand two points of view, and experience how financial knowledge is their unfair advantage.

A crystal-clear, scientifically rigorous argument for the existence of free will, challenging what many scientists and scientifically minded philosophers believe. Philosophers have argued about the nature and the very existence of free will for centuries. Today, many scientists and scientifically minded commentators are skeptical that it exists, especially when it is understood to require the ability to choose between alternative possibilities. If the laws of physics govern everything that happens, they argue, then how can our choices be free? Believers in free will must be misled by habit, sentiment, or religious doctrine. Why Free Will Is Real defies scientific orthodoxy and presents a bold new defense of free will in the same naturalistic terms that are usually deployed against it. Unlike those who defend free will by giving up the idea that it requires alternative possibilities to choose from, Christian List retains this idea as central, resisting the tendency to defend free will by watering it down. He concedes that free will and its prerequisites—intentional agency, alternative possibilities, and causal control over our actions—cannot be found among the fundamental physical features of the natural world. But, he argues, that’s not where we should be looking. Free will is a “higher-level” phenomenon found at the level of psychology. It is like other phenomena that emerge from physical processes but are autonomous from them and not best understood in fundamental physical terms—like an ecosystem or the economy. When we discover it in its proper context, acknowledging that free will is real is not just scientifically respectable; it is indispensable for explaining our world.

怎样把时间花费在 能够创造时间的事情上？ 同样是出勤8 小时的上班族，为什么有的人能开店、出书、健身三不误，而有的人连看场电影的时间都没有？ 同样一天24 小时，为什么我们比扎克伯格、马云的产出少，却跟他们一样忙，甚至比他们还忙？ 同样身患拖延症，为什么有的人能“拖得刚刚好”，而有的人却无药可救，关键时刻掉链子？ 当我们压力山大、疲倦或者被享乐诱惑时，日程表、任务清单能帮我们把任务一扫光吗？显然不能。 曾经的“时间管理困难症”患者瓦登，从亲身经历中发现，时间管理的关键在于理解“时间不够用”背后的情感原因。 于是，他以情感管理为核心，开发出一套“时间聚焦漏斗”模型，提出5条情感权限，总结出5 条时间倍增策略，让我们不仅能够提高单位时间利用率，更能自主“创造”时间，“倍增”时间，比别人拥有更多“有效”时间。

不是时间不够用，而是精力没管好！传统的时间管理模式已经无法满足当下的社会节奏，实现个人质的提升，关键是精力管理。 每一天的时间量是固定不变的，但是我们可用的精力的储备和质量却可以改变。认识到这一事实就会让你拥有颠覆生活方式的力量。 遵循书中的理念和步骤，你的生活会出现如下变化：轻松调动四种精力源：体能、情感、思维、意志；驾驭劳逸结合的生命脉动节奏；和精英运动员一样系统发展自己的能力；建立起高度精确、积极的精力管理习惯。

One of the world's most esteemed and influential psychologists, Roy F. Baumeister, teams with New York Times science writer John Tierney to reveal the secrets of self-control and how to master it. In Willpower, the pioneering researcher Roy F. Baumeister collaborates with renowned New York Times science writer John Tierney to revolutionize our understanding of the most coveted human virtue: self-control. In what became one of the most cited papers in social science literature, Baumeister discovered that willpower actually operates like a muscle: it can be strengthened with practice and fatigued by overuse. Willpower is fueled by glucose, and it can be bolstered simply by replenishing the brain's store of fuel. That's why eating and sleeping- and especially failing to do either of those-have such dramatic effects on self-control (and why dieters have such a hard time resisting temptation). Baumeister's latest research shows that we typically spend four hours every day resisting temptation. No wonder people around the world rank a lack of self-control as their biggest weakness. Willpower looks to the lives of entrepreneurs, parents, entertainers, and artists-including David Blaine, Eric Clapton, and others-who have flourished by improving their self-control. The lessons from their stories and psychologists' experiments can help anyone. You learn not only how to build willpower but also how to conserve it for crucial moments by setting the right goals and using the best new techniques for monitoring your progress. Once you master these techniques and establish the right habits, willpower gets easier: you'll need less conscious mental energy to avoid temptation. That's neither magic nor empty self-help sloganeering, but rather a solid path to a better life. Combining the best of modern social science with practical wisdom, Baumeister and Tierney here share the definitive compendium of modern lessons in willpower. As our society has moved away from the virtues of thrift and self-denial, it often feels helpless because we face more temptations than ever. But we also have more knowledge and better tools for taking control of our lives. However we define happiness-a close- knit family, a satisfying career, financial security-we won't reach it without mastering self-control.
