Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The best thing about niksen is the absence of a goal. It doesn’t serve a purpose, but it’s wonderful.” Don’t you think it’s time for a break? Plagued—as we are!—by nonstop pings and notifications, we have lost the knack of zoning out. Kicking back. Slacking off. Even when pandemic-induced lockdowns forcibly cleared our calendars, many who thought I’m free! filled their days with Netflix and doomscrolling. How can we reclaim our free time (planned or not) to truly rest and reset? The Dutch have it figured out: with niksen. Perhaps their best-kept lifestyle secret, niksen is the art of doing, well, nothing. It’s the opposite of productivity, and it’s incredibly good for your . . . MIND—it makes you calmer. BODY—it offers rest on hectic days. CREATIVITY—it clears a space for brilliant ideas. WALLET—it’s free! If you’re waiting for an invitation to go lie down in the sunshine, this book is it.
Download or read book Life Is Too Short to Waste and Do Nothing written by Gracie Curry Holman and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of my book is one of the poems entitled Life Is Too Short. I added “To Waste” to give the title a more significant meaning. People are getting killed every day at a very young age, and a fair number of people is dying of natural causes, and I am sure they have not accomplished their goals when they were killed. I have many pieces in this book, and I hope each and every piece will be comfort and enjoyment to my readers. This is my second poetry book, and each one of them I had motivation that helped me to complete them. Writing is a passion, but I really enjoy writing poetry. Thanks so much for reading my book, and I truly hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career.

[Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column.

Download or read book Steve Jobs How To Live Your Best Life written by Skillbooks Editorial and published by Hernando Chavez. This book was released on 2022-05-14 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: STEVE JOBS: HOW TO LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE DISCOVER THE LIFE PHILOSOPHY HE USED TO GUIDE HIS DECISIONS ABOUT THIS BOOK Everyone knows that life is short, but is it objectively short? Would we still feel that life is too short if we lived ten times as long? The answer is yes, life would still seem really short to us. Does knowing that make a difference? The answer is also yes, because if life is too short to put up with something we don't want, this idea can motivate us to get rid of it as soon as possible. If you ask yourself what you waste time on in your short life, you probably know the answer right away: unnecessary meetings, pointless disagreements, bureaucracy, dealing with other people's mistakes, unsatisfactory jobs, pretending to be someone else, and so on and so forth. These kinds of things enter your life in one of two ways: they are imposed on you by others or you fall into them on your own because of an illusion. It's time to leave all that behind to better actively pursue the things that really matter and that help us get the most out of this brief existence. CONTENT Introduction What Does The Phrase "Life Is Too Short" Mean? Is Our Idea Of The Perfect Life Really Ours? Why Is Dogmatism Dangerous? How To Reconnect With Your Inner Voice? What Is Intuition?

Download or read book Finding Meaning in Life at Midlife and Beyond written by David Guttmann and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-09-30 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having been mentored by Viktor E. Frankl, the founder of logotherapy, Emeritus Professor David Guttmann authored this book so general readers may understand this approach to finding meaning in life at the point when most of us begin deeply wondering over that question, at midlife and beyond. Especially in this day and age of multiple demands on our time and seemingly non-stop obligations, we too often find that it is only when the dust settles, after a work day or work week, or even after retirement, when we begin to wonder: What is the meaning of life? The purpose? This book is a new millennium venture into those questions and their answers using logotherapy, written by a sage understudy who recalls Frankl, with his logotherapy, as the epitome of his theory even at 80 years old, wise and witty, exuding an energy, enthusiasm and youthful spirit that belied his years by decades. Aging does not diminish our power, our energy, and our quest for life, but reshapes it with new understandings, goals, and needs. But, says Guttmann, we live in a technical and machine-based world now, in which there is a danger of losing our souls. Here, readers find a new, creative perspective on aging and a fresh spiritual outlook. This book will be of interest not only to general readers, especially those at midlife and beyond, but also to their families, friends, and students or professionals in the helping professions. This unique work provides knowledge to find meaning in life derived from the fields of philosophy, psychology, religion and gerontology, with case illustrations and vignettes to give readers both intellectual pleasure and practical guidance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I believe that every man has the potential to pull himself from the mud of which he was created up to the highest point of stardom, to overcome the greatest of indignities, whatever may be served to him, and demonstrate the greatest of inspirational abilities, making mankind far better for his appearance on this earth, if he chooses, as brief as it may be. I believe that every man is sacred, and when he realizes his individual worth, he cannot help but strive for perfection, and though he cannot find it in his own strength, will realize that the God who made him loves him and will give him the strength he needs to overcome all tribulation and failure, that we were made to be happy and excited about our existence, and that we should live and learn to love life and embrace all it has to offer passionately, eliminating the bad and enhancing the good, for ourselves and our fellow man. It is our God-given responsibility to take this gift of life and the earth upon which we were given to live to learn to love God and our fellow man, and that our journey is solely our own, and affects all of us for the worse or the better according to the choices we make guided by our character. And whether we like it or not, all of our chosen activities affect each other, and should lift up our fellow man as sacred and special as we lift ourselves up individually, and to never forget that we are not here alone, that God is watching every step we take and every action in our lives, and we are held in judgment for how we treat ourselves, our fellow man, and our relationship with our Heavenly Father.”
