《紐約時報》《華爾街日報》《商業週刊》暢銷書系列著作全球銷售超過5000萬本管理學大師史帝芬.柯維手把手帶你實際演練讓人生重新定向、生活品質向上提升的必讀經典!每天忙著處理工作的你,可曾想過在生命中最重要的事是什麼?而對於這些「最重要的事」,你是否投注了足夠的關心及時間?• 天天處理一堆急事,趕忙救火,而這些急事其實無關緊要。 • 老是因為拖延而把自己逼到絕境,但我會拖延,是因為我總是身陷絕境。• 我已經分不清生活與工作的界線了,總是在挖這邊的時間補那頭的空缺,結果讓情況越變越糟。• 要做的事情太多了,而且每件都很重要,該如何取捨?我們每天被各種方法、技巧、工具、資訊轟炸,告訴我們如何管理與支配時間。總有人告訴我們,只要再努力一點、學會使用新工具、把事情做得又快又好,或掌握某種歸檔與整理的方法,就能搞定所有事情。於是,我們便乖乖購入新的行程規劃表、參加時間管理課程、閱讀最新出版的相關書籍。我們確實學會也應用了學到的知識,並投入更多努力,最後只得到更多挫折感與罪惡感。這不是傳統「提高效率」的時間管理法,而是徹底改變你人生方向的時間觀!傳統的時間管理建議,你要做的是提升執行效率,進而才能支配自己的人生,獲得內心的寧靜與成就感。本書的內容顛覆時間管理的概念,將重點放在以普世準則為核心的生活態度,而不是給你更多的傳統處方箋,要求你做得更快、更努力、更聰明。因為比起把事情迅速做完,你選擇做什麼,以及為何你選擇這樣做,其實更重要。工作壓力大、每天追著時間跑,是現代人生活的一大焦慮。史帝芬.柯維認為,傳統的時間管理方式只會顧此失彼,使人愈加陷入拖延與失衡的惡性循環。他建議從生命的主導權探索事情的輕重,傾聽良知權衡工作的緩急,讓生命發展與時鐘的步調趨於和諧,以滿足人愛、生活、學習與發揮影響力的四大基本需求,與他人共創雙贏的人生。你可以將閱讀此書看成是一段內省的過程;你可以頻繁闔上書本,傾聽來自內心的聲音。在經歷深度自我認知的過程後,一定會有所改變——你看待世界的方式、看待人際關係的方式、看待時間的方式,甚至看待自己的方式,都會改變。我們堅信本書可以賦權於人,並弭平你內心的落差,從此你的時間將會運用在重要的事物上。
