Most of us know that we need to lose those extra pounds, repair our relationships, start exercising, build our business, etc. but most of us don't know how. This work aims to provide the how, as in how the reader can reach these personal and professional goals. To make this book accessible to as wide an audience as possible, Terry created two fun, universally-appealing characters: the superhero Stick-man, who creates and enhances our being; and the villain Pit-man, who comes from the Pit of Misery and represents the destructive, negative state we can exist in. Terry's approach focuses on eliminating certain traditional barriers while focusing on other gains: getting beyond the idea that we are products of our past. The past can't hurt us in the present unless we allow it to; recognizing that perception is projection. Things are not always as they are, but what we perceive them to be, which can be very different in interpretation; and, eliminating the problems that generate stumbling blocks and obstacles for us, so we don't get stuck in the pit of misery.

人与人之间的关联，是通过问题形成和加深的。好问题不仅能引导他人决策，也能帮助自我突破认知。
何为好问题？在詹姆斯·瑞安看来，问题的好坏要视情境而定，但有5个问题是一切有效对话中不可或缺的：1. “等等，你说什么？”——用来帮助自己和他人梳理想法，加深理解。
2. “不知道……”——用来发现新事物，建立伟大洞见。
3. “我们能不能至少……”——用来打破僵局、 分歧、达成共识。
4. “我能帮什么忙？”——用来表达尊重，鼓励他人面对问题。
5. “真正重要的是什么？”——用来找到问题的关键和目标的核心。
在哈佛大学2016年的毕业致辞中，教育研究生院院长瑞安用这5个问题诠释了有效沟通的智慧。这本书正是源于此。书中充满了许多幽默、动人的小故事，并从政治、历史、文化、社会变迁和个人经历的视角说明，如何用这5个问题作为一切理解和进步的开始。
不管是在学校还是在职场，我们花了太多的时间和精力寻找答案。答案的好坏是由问题决定的。如果你不会提问，那就从这5个 基本的问题开始吧！

Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself. Our lives are a never-ending stream of "when" decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork.
Timing, it's often assumed, is an art. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Pink shows that timing is really a science.
Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology, biology, and economics, Pink reveals how best to live, work, and succeed. How can we use the hidden patterns of the day to build the ideal schedule? Why do certain breaks dramatically improve student test scores? How can we turn a stumbling beginning into a fresh start? Why should we avoid going to the hospital in the afternoon? Why is singing in time with other people as good for you as exercise? And what is the ideal time to quit a job, switch careers, or get married?
In When, Pink distills cutting-edge research and data on timing and synthesizes them into a fascinating, readable narrative packed with irresistible stories and practical takeaways that give readers compelling insights into how we can live richer, more engaged lives.

In The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, bestselling author Ryan Holiday made ancient wisdom wildly popular with a new generation of leaders in sports, politics, and technology. In his new book, Stillness Is the Key, Holiday draws on timeless Stoic and Buddhist philosophy to show why slowing down is the secret weapon for those charging ahead.
All great leaders, thinkers, artists, athletes, and visionaries share one indelible quality. It enables them to conquer their tempers. To avoid distraction and discover great insights. To achieve happiness and do the right thing. Ryan Holiday calls it stillness--to be steady while the world spins around you.
In this book, he outlines a path for achieving this ancient, but urgently necessary way of living. Drawing on a wide range of history's greatest thinkers, from Confucius to Seneca, Marcus Aurelius to Thich Nhat Hahn, John Stuart Mill to Nietzsche, he argues that stillness is not mere inactivity, but the doorway to self-mastery, discipline, and focus.
Holiday also examines figures who exemplified the power of stillness: baseball player Sadaharu Oh, whose study of Zen made him the greatest home run hitter of all time; Winston Churchill, who in balancing his busy public life with time spent laying bricks and painting at his Chartwell estate managed to save the world from annihilation in the process; Fred Rogers, who taught generations of children to see what was invisible to the eye; Anne Frank, whose journaling and love of nature guided her through unimaginable adversity.
More than ever, people are overwhelmed. They face obstacles and egos and competition. Stillness Is the Key offers a simple but inspiring antidoteto the stress of 24/7 news and social media. The stillness that we all seek is the path to meaning, contentment, and excellence in a world that needs more of it than ever.

Legendary leadership and elite performance expert Robin Sharma introduced The 5am Club concept over twenty years ago, based on a revolutionary morning routine that has helped his clients maximize their productivity, activate their best health and bulletproof their serenity in this age of overwhelming complexity.
Now, in this life-changing book, handcrafted by the author over a rigorous four-year period, you will discover the early-rising habit that has helped so many accomplish epic results while upgrading their happiness, helpfulness and feelings of aliveness.

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.

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.

我们都将活到100岁，长寿时代，我们的生活和工作要怎么办！
无论你是谁，无论你多大年纪，都必须面对这个基本事实：21世纪初出生的人有一半的概率活到100岁，这在发达国家已经成真，发展中国家也正迎面赶上。这就是长寿时代。如果我们以为长寿时代只是意味着老龄化、延迟退休、养老金缺口和劳动力短缺，那我们的视野仍然是流于表面。长寿时代带来的变革远超出我们想象之外：
过去的受教育—工作—退休三阶段人生模式已不再适用；
劳动力市场中空化会进一步导致贫富差距；
更复杂的家庭结构和变化的代际关系会出现；
新一轮产业变革，生物工程、计算机采集和碳替代会成为巨型产业；
员工更少但通常更专业的企业组成的生态系统将成为增长点；
智慧城市和零工经济兴起，工作和办公场所分离；
个人对灵活性和多样选择的渴望，将压倒公司对体制和可预测性的需求；
跨龄友谊将成为常态，老人不再是一个老无所依的“独立王国”……
面对这一切变革，我们做人生决定所参照的榜样和我们自身的人生经验都不足以应付这个长寿时代，我们必须从根本上改变我们的人生模式：
三阶段人生变成多阶段人生，夹杂若干个过渡期；
再创造比娱乐更重要，闲暇时间用来构建自己的无形资产；
培养自己在创造、共情和问题解决、自由往来等比机器人更具优势的领域，那正是未来产生高薪岗位的领域；
喜欢老一套的、可预测的企业在人力资源和经营模式上必须全面变革；
政府的关注点要从社保扩大到全方位的教育、婚姻、工作时间及更广泛的社会安排上……
本书来自英国伦敦商学院经济学家琳达·格拉顿和心理学家安德鲁·斯科特为MBA学生开设的一门“百岁人生”课程，入围2016年英国《金融时报》和麦肯锡公司年度图书奖，出版一年便已经被译为12种语言。两位作者是经济学和心理学的专家，并且在多个政府和多个跨国公司担任人力资源和经营管理咨询顾问，他们运用前瞻性的研究成果和超前视野的实践经验向我们展示，在长寿时代，我们必须从过去的三阶段人生演进到多阶段人生，才能将长寿变成天赐大礼，而不是变成诅咒。
“琳达·格拉顿和安德鲁·斯科特创作了一本重要而且可读性极强的书，书中所分析的问题，绝大多数政府和企业都会忽视。我们当中绝大多数人都会享受到比我们的先辈更长的寿命。的确，今天的孩子有一半会活到100岁，这关系到我们的个人财务问题。作者雄辩地向我们证明，我们的全部生活都将重组，以适应这破天荒的长寿。婴儿潮一代和千禧一代都应该好好读这本书。”——尼尔·弗格森（Niall Ferguson），哈佛大学劳伦斯·蒂施历史学讲座教授

In Marc's Mission, New York Times-bestselling author Jocko Willink delivers a second powerful and empowering Way of the Warrior book about finding your inner strength and being the best you can be, even in the face of adversity.
In Way of the Warrior Kid, Marc went from wimp to warrior in one summer. He learned to be strong inside and out, mastered his multiplication tables, conquered his fear of swimming, and even made nice with the meanest kid on the playground (who turned out to be not so mean after all).
Now, in this second book in the middle-grade Warrior Kid series, Marc uses what he learned last summer to help another kid who needs a boost. Can he take the skills he learned from his Navy SEAL uncle Jake to instill the warrior spirit in someone who needs his help?

每个人都向往成功、幸福的人生，但我们往往被一些看似真切的谎言所误导，比如：
每件事都很重要，你可以同时处理多件事，你应该过上有规律的生活，达到工作与生活之间的平衡等等。其实，这些想法只会让我们离成功越来越远。加里•凯勒在超级畅销书《最重要的事，只有一件》中告诉我们：尽量缩小目标，专注于当下那一件最重要的事，就能够获得成功高效的生活。

A brilliant philosopher reimagines Stoicism for our modern age in this thought-provoking guide to a better life.
For more than two thousand years, Stoicism has offered a message of resilience in the face of hardship. Little wonder, then, that it is having such a revival in our own troubled times. But there is no denying how weird it can be: Is it really the case that we shouldn't care about our work, our loved ones, or our own lives? According to the old Stoics, yes.
In A Field Guide to a Happy Life, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci offers a renewed Stoicism that reflects modern science and sensibilities. Pigliucci embraces the joyful bonds of affection, the satisfactions of a job well done, and the grief that attends loss. In his hands, Stoicism isn't about feats of indifference, but about enduring pain without being overwhelmed, while enjoying pleasures without losing our heads. In short, he makes Stoicism into a philosophy all of us -- whether committed Stoics or simply seekers -- can use to live better.

Your thoughts shape your life, create your reality, and ultimately limit or expand your true potential. Everything from relationships and love, to health and well-being, to wealth and prosperity are directly connected to how you think and what you think about most of the time. For better or for worse. A quick and easy read, Feeling is the Secret describes how our thoughts and feelings affect who we become and what we achieve. When we have the power to change them, we gain the power to change our circumstances, our health, and our life's purpose.

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.

Profound, yet easy to read, this self-help classic addresses the relationship between spiritual and material desires. Delivered as a lecture thousands of times by the founder of Temple University, it provides practical advice on opening your mind and making the most of your circumstances to find riches in your own backyard.
