內容簡介
內容簡介 「不容易」是人生最公平的事!懂得流汗的人擅長經營人生,沒有人可以虧待你,除非你先對不起自己。關於企圖、生涯、金錢、愛在未來人生的真實狀況,早點知道更好!我該選什麼工作?大家說有熱情的工作才長久,是這樣嗎?工作與生活怎麼樣才能平衡,這樣拚下去有沒有個盡頭?每個人都說人生要自己負責,但是到底該怎麼做,50歲時才不會後悔?這世界不會讓你予取予求但能讓你盡情嘗試,把握人生黃金上坡期用超務實的人生布局一決勝負!蓋洛威是紐約大學最受歡迎的教授,學生遍及各行各業的菁英,但是這群大家眼中的成功人士聚在一起最常問他的卻是:「怎麼樣達到幸福又成功的人生?」蓋洛威的看法總是犀利又務實,引發熱烈迴響。因為蓋洛威慘敗過。他是連續創業家、全球五十大最佳商學院教授,但是他差點進不了大學、創業幾次失敗、30多歲離婚,跌跌撞撞走到今天,對如何好好過一生有比一般人更清醒的體悟與更務實的建議。‧成功需要才華,但帶你跨入成功的動能則是飢渴,這股動能來自於認清現實──你真的不會是賈伯斯、祖克柏……。‧不要追隨你的熱情,勸你堅持下去的人都已經很有錢了!去做無聊的事,成就感才能讓你持續前進。‧「有錢」的定義是被動收入大於支出,年收入破百萬但沒有存款或其他投資,依然是窮光蛋。年輕人百分之百專注在收入上;成年人則同時專注在支出上。‧你未來十年的收入將取決於現在的學歷與居住地。多數人以為在自由國度只要努力就能成功,其實現代社會仍存在著種姓制度,就是教育。‧做一個真正的大人,而非擁有成人身軀的巨嬰。負責的定義不只是承擔責任,而是做那件風險在你可控範圍的事。‧成功人生不容易,保持禮貌卻很簡單,在小事上失禮很可能摧毀大事業或損失10億美元,像前Uber執行長那樣。‧年輕時滿身肌肉、開著名車、出入高檔酒吧看起來很MAN,但40 歲後,成為讓孩子在心靈上有所依靠的父母、能讓人安然信任的家人盟友,更是充滿魅力。‧50 歲已婚伴侶的資產平均為單身同儕的三倍,認真看待「至死不渝」的承諾,別讓日常小事毀了終身大事,除非你捨得那三倍資產。每個選擇都有年輕不理解的代價每個擁有平衡人生的人,必然走過失衡的青春。趁早找到你的市場定位,用流下的汗水換取你值得的人生。本中文書介出自《世界並不仁慈, 但也不會虧待你: 紐約商學院菁英爭相討論的人生策略》天下雜誌股份有限公司出版An unconventional book of wisdom and life advice from renowned business school professor and New York Times bestselling author of The Four Scott Galloway.Scott Galloway teaches brand strategy at NYU’s Stern School of Business, but his most popular lectures deal with life strategy, not business. In the classroom, on his blog, and in YouTube videos garnering millions of views, he regularly offers hard-hitting answers to the big questions: What’s the formula for a life well lived? How can you have a meaningful career, not just a lucrative one? Is work life balance possible? What are the elements of a successful relationship?The Algebra of Happiness: Notes on the Pursuit of Success, Love, and Meaning draws on Professor Galloway’s mix of anecdotes and no-BS insight to share hard-won wisdom about life’s challenges, along with poignant personal stories.Whether it’s advice on if you should drop out of school to be an entrepreneur (it might have worked for Steve Jobs, but you’re probably not Steve Jobs), ideas on how to position yourself in a crowded job market (do something “boring” and move to a city; passion is for people who are already rich), discovering what the most important decision in your life is (it’s not your job, your car, OR your zip code), or arguing that our relationships to others are ultimately all that matter, Galloway entertains, inspires, and provokes.Brash, funny, and surprisingly moving, The Algebra of Happiness represents a refreshing perspective on our need for both professional success and personal fulfillment, and makes the perfect gift for any new graduate, or for anyone who feels adrift."
