Willpower Doesn't Work de Benjamin Hardy

Willpower Doesn't Work

Autor Benjamin Hardy
en Limba Engleză Paperback – mar 2019

Observăm în parcursul lui Benjamin Hardy o tranziție fascinantă de la cel mai citit autor pe platforma Medium la un psiholog organizațional de renume, a cărui voce redefinește productivitatea modernă. Willpower Doesn't Work nu este doar un manual de dezvoltare personală, ci o pledoarie bazată pe cercetări riguroase și experiențe de viață brute, de la traumele unei copilării într-un mediu marcat de droguri, până la provocările asumării rolului de părinte pentru trei copii adoptivi. Subliniem faptul că, spre deosebire de abordările clasice, Hardy consideră că voința este o resursă limitată, sortită eșecului într-o lume suprasaturată de informații.

Abordarea sa amintește de The Lazy Way to a Wonderful Life - at home and at work de Gunnel Ryner prin ideea centrală că mediul trebuie să lucreze în favoarea noastră, nu împotriva noastră, dar adaugă o componentă psihologică mult mai profundă: necesitatea unor 'medii îmbogățite' care să ne forțeze să evoluăm. În timp ce alte lucrări, precum Change Your Life de Alecia Lawrence, mizează încă pe forța voinței, Hardy demonstrează că singura cale sustenabilă către succes este designul proactiv al contextului fizic și social.

Considerăm această lucrare o piesă esențială în contextul operei sale, făcând legătura între viziunea despre identitate din Be Your Future Self Now și pragmatismul din Personality Isn't Permanent. Autorul ne provoacă să renunțăm la 'junk people' și la factorii de stres inutili, înlocuindu-i cu declanșatori pozitivi și termene-limită auto-impuse. Tonul este unul direct, ancorat în realitatea psihologiei organizaționale, oferind un sistem clar pentru a trece de la simpla supraviețuire la o stare de prosperitate autentică.

Descriere scurtă

We rely on willpower to create change in our lives...but what if we're thinking about it all wrong? In Willpower Doesn't Work, Benjamin Hardy explains that willpower is nothing more than a dangerous fad-one that is bound to lead to failure. Instead of "white-knuckling" your way to change, you need to instead alter your surroundings to support your goals. This book shows you how.

The world around us is fast-paced, confusing, and full of distractions. It's easy to lose focus on what you want to achieve, and your willpower won't last long if your environment is in conflict with your goals--eventually, the environment will win out. Willpower Doesn't Work is the needed guided for today's over-stimulating and addicting environment. Willpower Doesn't Work will specifically teach you:

  • How to make the biggest decisions of your life--and why those decisions must be made in specific settings
  • How to create a daily "sacred" environment to live your life with intention, and not get sucked into the cultural addictions
  • How to invest big in yourself to upgrade your environment and mindset
  • How to put "forcing functions" in your life--so your default behaviors are precisely what you want them to be
  • How to quickly put yourself in proximity to the most successful people in the world--and how to adapt their knowledge and skills to yourself even quicker
  • How to create an environment where endless creativity and boundless productivity is the norm

Benjamin Hardy will show you that nurture is far more powerful than your nature, and teach you how to create and control your environment so your environment will not create and control you.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

If you're relying on willpower alone to help you lose weight, improve your relationships or achieve more at work, you're doomed to fail. The environment around us is far too powerful, stimulating, addicting and stressful to overcome it through sheer determination. Willpower, grit, being positive - basically, all the tools you've been told are the keys to creating lasting change in your life - are insufficient in this high-paced, information-overloaded world we live in. The only way to stop just surviving and learn to truly thrive in today's world is to proactively shape your environment.

That's the premise of Willpower Doesn't Work, by organisational psychologist and Medium's most-read self-help guru Benjamin Hardy. Building on copious existing research, as well as his own experience of growing up in a broken family afflicted by addiction and drug use, Hardy explains how people can change their lives on every level by making small, impactful changes in their environment like:

* Creating 'enriched environments' - using tougher challenges and self-imposed deadlines to force yourself to rise to the occasion.

* Growing into your goals - using radical personal accountability to keep yourself on target and on track.

* Becoming the teacher - stepping into a leadership role (even before you think you're ready) to accelerate your skills.

* Rotating your environments - getting out of your rut by literally changing your physical surroundings throughout the day or week.

From simple steps like removing things that conflict with your values from your environment (like junk food, junk media, even junk people), to incorporating new tools (like fasting or adding 'positive triggers' to your world), these lessons make it possible to consciously shape your surroundings so you can lead a more productive and happier life. Hardy leans on his own story of making the decision to foster three young children to illustrate how any shift, no matter how huge, can become 'the new normal' if you support that change with a productive environment.
