《思考的藝術》《行為的藝術》作者魯爾夫.杜伯里最新作品
你是否曾經...
在PPT簡報中花費太長時間?
忘記什麼讓你快樂?
達不到長期目標?
被排隊、繳稅與停車費激怒?
打破了你必須遵守的承諾?
從文明開展至今數千年,人們總是問自己,所謂「過著美好生活」的意義:我應該如何生活,什麼會帶來真正的快樂?命運的角色是什麼?金錢的作用是什麼?我應該賺多少,又該怎麼運用時間?尋求美滿生活是一種心態問題,還是更像一個目標實現?積極覓得幸福比避免任何不快樂還要來得好嗎?
世界太複雜,上述每一代人的疑惑,並不存在簡單明確的答案。我們需要的是一個精神模型工具箱,一個「實際」生活指南。在The Art of the Good Life中,你將得到52個聰明思維與更好決策的智慧捷徑,協助你勝任家庭與工作的挑戰。這些方法無法保障你一個美好生活,但會給你一個更好的機會。
「魯爾夫.杜伯里有一個天份,確知世上最好的想法並把他們整合在一起,使整體比加總後更有價值。他在《思考的藝術》中這麼做,現在在The Art of the Good Life也是。」—《好人總是自以為是》作者強納森.海德特
「魯爾夫.杜伯里善於將科學研究的證據轉化為改善個人產出的實際步驟。」—《影響力:讓人乖乖聽話的說服術》作者羅伯特.席爾迪尼

The indispensable new work from the author of the international and Sunday Times bestseller The Art of Thinking Clearly
Have you ever...
• Spent too long on a powerpoint presentation?
• Lost sight of what makes you happy?
• Failed to reach a long-term goal?
• Become infuriated by queuing, tax or parking tickets?
• Broken a promise you knew you'd keep?
Since the dawn of civilization, we've been asking ourselves what it means to live a good life: how should I live, what will truly make be happy, how much should I earn, how should I spend my time? In the absence of a single simple answer, what we need is a toolkit of mental models, a guide to practical living.
In The Art of the Good Life, you'll find fifty-two intellectual shortcuts for wiser thinking and better decisions, at home and at work. They may not guarantee you a good life, but they'll give you a better chance.
