Working four hours a day is a lazy man's delusion? Author Timothy Ferris doesn't think so. He experimented with himself and found that in order to work for four hours, all you have to do is learn to refuse, overcome your fears, telecommute and escape from the office. ...
In my opinion, if time is short, it is meaningless to drive any car in the future and how much money is in the bank. Time is the most precious non-renewable resource in the future world. The best people in the world always complete at least 10 times the workload in less than one third of the time. We should consider taking time as a commodity and change the past view that time is a tool (natural, non-renewable and priceless).
Of course, the author provides two ways to help you reach the future where you only work for four hours: 1. Only do important things to reduce working hours (80/20 rule). 2. Reduce working hours to do the most important things (Parkinson's Law). As for whether you can do it, it's up to you.
The second book "The Country of Freelancers" Daniel H. Pink
Daniel H. Pink pointed out: The time has come to work for yourself. In the United States, more than 25 million people regard themselves as "free men". They have the following four characteristics:
I have a responsibility (I have a responsibility)
They regard work as "participation" rather than being hired. In this way, the focus of work will shift to how to implement the project to an excellent level, and then enhance their own value.
Social network builder (social network builder)
They spread occupational risks to different projects, customers, skills and consumers. In order to get the best job combination, networking has become a very important skill.
Team player (to be a team player)
Because work is scattered in various "projects", teamwork is often the key to the success or failure of a project.
Personal growth and career development planning.
In order to distinguish themselves from their competitors, they will arrange a fixed reading time of not less than one hour every five days for personal growth, and at the same time, they will try to participate in various challenging jobs in a planned way, attend professional courses and lectures regularly, and cultivate their professional skills.
The third book, Warming? Stop it! Bjorn Lomborg Taiwan Province Boya Bookstore
Is global warming the end of the world, or is it an elaborate scam? The author thinks that these two kinds of boundaries are not supported by really tenable data. The "turn off the lights" campaign is futile, and the lighted candles push more carbon dioxide into the air; Gore believes that natural disasters such as hurricanes have become the most anticipated publicity targets of asset insurance companies. Environmental protection is an unavoidable topic for every future worker. This book will help you rethink environmental protection instead of following the trend.
The fourth book, The Influence of the Future, Alvin? Toffler Central Publishing House
This is the best of many books in toffler, and it is more fashionable than many later replicators. If you want to escape from the future and go to the countryside, you would rather live a simple and ignorant life. After reading this book, you will feel that you are soul mates. If you are a market and want to know society keenly, it won't let you down.
The fifth book, a hot, flat and crowded world, thomas l. friedman.
Every book by Friedman seems to cause a sensation, so it is better to read it as soon as possible. In his book, he used environmental problems to trigger a collision between East and West. The collision finally discussed the fatalism philosophy in the East and the complex of "man can conquer nature" in the West, saying that today the East is not like the East and the West is not like the West, so something is wrong. It is interesting to talk about cultural orientation from the perspective of environment.
The sixth "Love and Sex with Robots" david levy
Wonderful and enlightening subject matter. A book about predicting the first man-machine couple in 2050. From the perspective of artificial intelligence, the author thinks that robots can simulate the factors that 12 cause love between human beings. After reading it, you will have a new understanding of love, robots and intelligence.
The seventh book "The Design of Future Things"
You can learn how some inspiring and perfect products that cater to potential needs are simply designed.
How will superpowers, population and globalization change your way of life and work?
The author has a special status and is a member of the think tank of the new Obama administration. This newly published book deals with superpowers, population trends and globalization, and predicts the future from the fundamentals. There are not many books with such fundamentals.
Out of date: design for the future of the twentieth century, part 9
The book lists predictions that have been realized or slightly outdated today, such as egg-shaped cars, flying cities, humanoid robots, monorails, rocket ships and so on. The sense of scale of forecasting and realizing time is worth savoring.
The tenth generation: the future history of America, 1584-2069 Neil Howe, William Strauss.
I learned about American history, American times and American politics. Well, it is such a book. Published in 1992, it is quite funny that the author assumes that most of the living generation at that time died in 2069.
The eleventh mindset! Reset your mind and see the future, john Naisbitt.
Chinese translation is called "fixed opinion", which helps you to collect, analyze and judge information and predict the future in a chaotic world. I classify it as a must-see in behavioral psychology.
The first 12 book "future archives-53 survival rules for the future" Richard Watson
The "X-files" in the workplace, if you want to know what will happen in the future when there is a serious shortage of dead people, why the bath time will be longer, why the cases of witnessing death and waiting for death are increasing day by day, and why we will lose our thoughts and imagination ... just take a look.
The thirteenth book surpasses the human Ramez Naam.
This book predicts that human beings will become "artificial people" in the future. Blind people can drive by implanting chips in their brains, and pilots can fly planes with their minds through transformation. A part of the human body will become a circuit, which can stimulate people's more potential. Genetic research shows that these will gradually become a reality in the near future.
Book 14 2060: Love Story in Utopia Future
The only recommended love novel about the future. Because the virus destroyed the Y chromosome, men became a minority in 2060. In this context, a wise story unfolds slowly, and the novel's bold assumptions make people re-examine humanity, morality and equality.
The fifteenth book, the strange creature that dominated the earth after the extinction of mankind, Doug Dixon.
From a biological point of view, the future must be read. The author reasoned out a group of creatures with creative appearance and habits. Very exercise thinking.
The sixteenth book, The Final Theory: Rethinking Our Scientific Heritage
From a scientific point of view, it is a must-read in the future. Pioneering put forward a model that can easily explain frontier scientific theories such as dark matter and quantum effect to the public, which is the best in this kind of books.
The seventeenth book, The Progress of Mankind, Josh Valdes
On the future required reading from the perspective of education. The status of education in China has always been high and low, and its important role in the future has always been ignored. When reading this book.
The 18th magical voyage: live long enough to live forever.
Must-read in the future from the perspective of health preservation. It's also interesting to really know your body.
Book 19 Molly Moon, Mickey Minas,&; Georgia Bing, a thinking machine
The only recommended science fiction fairy tale about the future. What kind of future can children appreciate?
"Das Kapital" Volume 20 Karl Marx
This book, which has been published for 14 1 year, has never been more instructive than today. Time finally polished the author's inference as bright as truth. But is this a fact? We need more time and more economic crises to verify that, at least for the first time, the people of China are closer to their beliefs.
The 21st "Monica's Mango Rain" by Chris holloway
What is more dramatic than going to an excessively "exotic" African country? In the early 1990s, the author of this book joined the "Peace Corps" as soon as he graduated from university and served in Mali and the African Republic in West Africa. She lived here for three years and met her partner John and her lifelong friend, the midwife Monica. This book is written around Monica's emotions, pure thoughts and natural wisdom. In the future when more and more people participate in non-profit organizations and the world begins to understand each other, this book about friendship and "Peace Corps" workers is very interesting.
Yesterday's Tomorrow: The Past Vision of the Future of the United States Joseph J. Conal
It shows us how our predecessors predicted our present and future. Reading this book is like enjoying a science fiction movie 50 years ago. Cartoon-like whimsy is both nostalgic and romantic. Whether their dreams come true now or not, this book is full of respect for prophecy.
