Have you ever found yourself stretched too thin?
Do you simultaneously feel overworked and underutilized?
Are you often busy but not productive?
Do you feel like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people’s agendas?
If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist.
The Way of the Essentialist isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done. It is not a time management strategy, or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution towards the things that really matter.
By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy – instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us.
Essentialism is not one more thing – it’s a whole new way of doing everything. A must-read for any leader, manager, or individual who wants to learn who to do less, but better, in every area of their lives, Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.
读毕,对精要主义有几点理解。 第一,精要主要的内涵,也就是精要主义者的核心思维模式。 只做必做之事,尽可能做出最明智的时间和精力投资,从而达到个人贡献峰值。 第二,养成方法。 探索--排除--执行。 探索哪些事项是无意义的,哪些事项是有意义的。 排除掉那些无意义事项...
评分1. 最开始,以为这本书讲的,是要停止社交网络、打游戏,而专注于手头的事 因为最近一直停不住玩手机,所以想着拿来读读 但讲的不是这个 2. 那这本书讲的什么? 不是放弃小事(比如说不刷豆瓣、微博,不打Doat和三国杀),而是放弃大事,放弃good的机会,只做excellent的事情。...
评分至少收获以下几点: 学会拒绝 准确自我定位 不是越多越好 保证每日充分睡眠 要记日记 提前准备 正常排版的话,本书至少可以减少80页的厚度。单就这一点来说,是和精要主义的主题相违背的。
评分现代社会中,人们面临越来越多的选择。对于工作,选择从事什么工作?这是一个考验。面对工作中的多件事情,人们也会遇到很多选择上的困惑。哪些是必须做的,哪些是可以缓做的,甚至是不需要做的。面对信息时代的海量信息,实际上我们还面临着如何选择对我有用的信息的问...

都是常識,再學一遍,很好。
评分感觉内容搞个TED就够了 却絮絮叨叨不够深入地讲了一整本书 (主要是道理谁都懂。。然鹅
评分是典型的这类畅销书的写法,伴随着核心思想有很多引用和事例来佐证,但后半部分略啰嗦,最后甚至写成了鸡汤。但是!关键的是提醒你需要这样种生活态度,正巧能解决你的困扰,又告诉你怎样才能做到,怎样才能不那么痛苦地做到。书中提到的90 percent rule、power of right routine等都是非常有实用价值的方法。总之,这书值得经常拿出来翻翻,提醒自己要be essential。打算买本英文纸书,完全是因为反感湛庐才不想买中文,另外书中提到的the power of habit 也找来读读看。
评分这本讲“精要”的书,写了近300页,但实际上30页就能讲得清清楚楚。
评分4.5星. 单独因为90%rules,的确让我又多了条原则 和the power of less有些重合,但更多实际操作的建议。 play is essential. 90% rule等,还是有些新内容的。不过排版就没power of less清晰了,比如可以在例子前后做出标记,方便读者跳过。但至少行文结构还是清晰的,哪些例子哪些观点结论都可以一眼扫到
