The 4-hour Workweek The 4-hour Workweek Full Chapter Brief   Are you constantly immersed in your work, fantasizing about your eventual retirement? It's time to reconsider this "deferred-life plan". The best outcome of this plan is that you turn into a bald fat man sitting in a red BMW. This book is giving you a different option. By adopting the "mini retirements" approach of the new rich, you will be able to start exploring your dream job and life.   Overview | Chapter 1 Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we will unlock the book The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich. This book will challenge your view of how you live your life, especially when it comes to your retirement plan. Please join us on this journey towards a new way of work and life.   Think about this question first: Do you look forward to living the good life after retirement? What is it like? Maybe you have planned on playing games all day, are keen to pack your bag and travel the world, or maybe write a memoir of your own. No matter what your answer is, you should think again about this kind of deferred-life plan, that is, the idea of spending most of your prime years working and saving money, then spending the money during your retirement.   This type of thinking is very common. But this book believes that the reality of your retirement life may not be as good as you expected, and it’s often too late to regain what you have lost. The best outcome for this plan is that you turn into a bald fat guy sitting in a red BMW. This book offers a new way of thinking: like the new rich, you can break down your twenty years of retirement into mini retirement episodes and insert them throughout your whole life span. In doing this, you can begin to enjoy your life and work for many years to come.   Who is the new rich and what is mini retirement? We will talk more about them in the next chapter. Here, we'd like to state that an aspirational lifestyle is not beyond imagination, just the opposite. It is within our reach and can be attained by shifting your mindset and following the guidelines in this book. You can become a member of the “new rich” and turn your dreams into a reality.   Next, we will explain the main ideas of the book 4-hour Workweek in three parts:   Part One: How does the new rich work and live?   Part Two: How to live like a new rich without quitting your job?   Part Three: How to build an income autopilot?

Good To Great Good To Great Full Chapter Brief   If you want your enterprise to go farther, you should not be satisfied with being “good” but should make continuous efforts to achieve “greatness”, so that your company can be more dynamic, more competitive, and last for a really long time. So, how can enterprises break through the bottleneck of being just good? And how do we build an excellent management team? This book puts forward a set of ideas that, if implemented carefully, will enable most companies to improve their operations significantly and be able to become an outstanding company.   Overview | Chapter 1 Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we will unlock the book From Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't.   There are many famous companies that have experienced a period of glory, leaving their peers far behind. But slowly, they began to not think about innovation, became content with the status quo, stopped seeking to improve, let themselves fall into the trap of complacency and consequently fell from the top to the bottom. The most typical example is Kodak. Kodak was once the world's leading film manufacturer. Its film recorded people’s sorrow and happiness, glory and dreams for more than 100 years. But unfortunately, they have not been able to keep up with the new era. Some people think they stumbled in the face of camera manufacturers like Sony and Nikon, while many people don't realize that the world's first digital camera was actually made by Kodak. The ultimate reason why Kodak failed is down to the fact that they refused to “kill” their signature film, unwilling to move forward toward “greatness”, and eventually died because of its inaction.   The lessons of history tell us that when a company begins to become content with their current status quo, and remain stagnant and complacent, the mansion that they once strove so hard to build up will fall into a precarious state. In order to avoid complacency, we should not merely be satisfied with being good, but also we should continue to strive for greatness, to enable our enterprise to be more dynamic and more long-lasting. So, how to go from good to great? How to make the enterprise break through the bottleneck of excellence? How to set up an excellent management team? This book presents a set of ideas that can help most companies dramatically improve their operations and even become an exceptional company.   The author of this book, Jim Collins, is a renowned management expert and best-selling business author, whose books include Great by Choice: Uncertainty, Chaos, and Luck—Why Some Thrive Despite Them All, How The Mighty Fall: And Why Some Companies Never Give In, and, Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies, of which we’ve also provided you with a bookey. He spent his early years teaching and researching at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, where he received the Distinguished Teaching Award. In 1995, he founded his own Management Lab, where he conducted research on business life with leaders of numerous corporations and social institutions. Collins has also served as senior manager and CEO of world-renowned companies such as Merck & Co, Starbucks, Times Spiegel Group, and McKinsey & Company.   Next, we will talk about the essence of this book from three parts and learn how companies can make the leap from good to great:   Part One: How to build an excellent team;   Part Two: How to create the concept of excellence;   Part Three: How to achieve excellence.

Deep Work Deep Work Full Chapter Brief   The rapid development of Internet technology and smart products has provided people with a lot of convenience. Meanwhile, all kinds of notifications and messages mean people's working time has become highly fragmented. The author keenly points out that more than 60% of knowledge workers' work time is spent on shallow work. This type of work not only yields limited output value but also permanently reduces people's capacity to work deeply! This book describes how to train the brain to eliminate distractions, improve deep work ability, and create more value.   Overview | Chapter 1 Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today, we will unlock the book Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World.   If you probe into the experiences of some prominent figures in history, you will find that deep work is pivotal to their success in their respective fields. American author Mark Twain's masterpiece, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, was mostly done in a shed at the Quarry Farm in New York. His workplace, the shed was so far from the main house where his family lived that they had to call him to dinner by blowing a horn. The theoretical physicist Peter Higgs worked in a nearly secluded environment and refused to use a computer. When Higgs won the Nobel Prize, journalists couldn't even locate him. The novelist J.K. Rowling would stay away from social media while writing Harry Potter. For the first year and a half after opening her Twitter account, she posted only one tweet: "This is the real me, but you won't be hearing from me often I'm afraid, as pen and paper is my priority at the moment."   Unlike these highly influential figures, more and more knowledge workers are straying away from deep work. FranklinCovey, a company specializing in training to improve organizational and personal effectiveness, has tracked more than 350,000 employees worldwide. According to its findings, these employees have wasted 40% of their work time on things that don't matter. In this speed first web-centric era, people have embraced the Internet and remain instantly connected. Knowledge workers dedicate most of their work time to emails, meetings, and social media, yet their essential tasks have been delayed. In this business environment, how can we yield valuable results and stand out in the workplace?   In an age of highly fragmented working time, the approach to deep work proposed in Deep Work makes even more sense. It helps ordinary people become the winners of today's age. In the meantime, we can get gratification from deep work. While arguing for the importance of deep work, Deep Work also provides a systematic way to train our brains to eliminate distractions. Furthermore, the book helps us improve our ability to think deeply and thus create more value.   The author, Cal Newport, received his Ph.D. in computer science from MIT and is currently an associate professor of computer science at Georgetown University. He is also a bestselling author. Besides this book, Newport's bestselling works also include How to Win at College: Surprising Secrets for Success from the Country's Top Students, How to Become a Straight-A Student, How to Be a High School Superstar: A Revolutionary Plan to Get into College by Standing Out, and So Good They Can't Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love. He is also the founder of the popular blog Study Hacks, which is dedicated to decoding success patterns in work and study.   In this Bookey session, we will look at how ordinary people can be the winners of our time by looking at the following three parts:   Part One: Why do we need deep work?   Part Two: What factors prevent us from working deeply?   Part Three: How to cultivate the ability for deep work?
