這應該是有史以來我看最快的一本原文書了。
這本書不厚,作者懂得講重點,我的Kindle 裡下載了很多書是看到一半就沒看下去的,因為很多書會用很多篇幅重覆講述一個重點,但這本書沒有這個毛病,所以我大概只花3~4天左右就看完了。
從書名可知作者要闡述的發揮潛能的重點有5章節,並在每個章節結尾重點整理。
1.
Life
is hard
§ Your life is defined by your actions.
§ Hardships make you better.
§ Willpower & habits are vehicle for
achievement.
§ What’s underneath the surface matters.
2.
Happiness
is a decision
§ Achievement has nothing to do with
happiness.
§ Happiness is not in the future.
§ Happiness is a decision on how to feel in
each moment.
§ Expectation breed hunger within.
3.
Satisfaction
is a process
§ Satisfaction comes from achievement and
hard work.
§ Falling in love with the process is all
about embracing steps B through Y.
§ Set micro goals and be diligent with
your rest time.
§ Be the hero of your own movie.
§ Find the beauty in your work.
4.
Social
intelligence is a necessity
§ You can’t please everyone.
§ Be loud within.
§ Make your success look effortless.
§ Establish humble confidence.
5.
The
path is not linear
§ Quitting doesn’t define your future.
§ Gain competency to never feel guilt.
§ Life flows in season.
由章節名稱就知道作者不會為了增加銷售量而講唬哢人的話,反而是很實際但又不是很難做到。我就是看了這本書才下定決心去跑25Km 的公益路跑;當初報名後我的盤算是跨年我要去台中,就拿這個當藉口,跟教練講我可能回不來,沒想到我卻是提早收假回高雄,而且很開心去跑這場路跑。當然,結果也很令我振奮。
好消息,現在這本書免費,如果你有Kindle,趕快去Amazon下載!
