Neil Pasricha Livres

We are turning into an army of porcelain dolls. Cell phones show us we’re never good enough. Yesterday’s butterflies are tomorrow’s panic attacks. Record numbers suffer from anxiety, depression, and loneliness. What do we need to learn? RESILIENCE. And we need to learn it fast. Let this #1 international bestseller teach you: ⁠-The 2-minute morning practice that helps eliminate stress ⁠-What every commencement speech gets wrong ⁠-3 questions that help tell yourself a different story ⁠-The single word that keeps your options open after failure ⁠-Why you need an Untouchable Day (and how to get one) …and much, much more! Because the truth is, you really are awesome.

Model šťastného života, ktorý nám bol odjakživa vtĺkaný do hláv, je pomýlený. Mysleli sme si, že keď vyštudujeme dobrú školu, budeme dobre zarábať a spravíme ohromnú kariéru, budeme určite šťastní. Prečítali sme, samozrejme, aj mnoho kníh o tom, ako dosiahnuť spoločenský status, zdvojnásobiť príjmy, či nadväzovať správne kontakty. Lenže vytúžený pocit celkového vnútorného šťastia sa stále nedostavuje. Prečo je to tak? Lebo všetko je to len mýtus. Umelé potreby, na ktoré sa podľa výskumov skutočne šťastní a spokojní ľudia neupínajú. Čo teda máme robiť inak? V podstate nič radikálne. Celú filozofiu o šťastí a životnej rovnováhe zhŕňa Neil Pasricha do jediného vzorca: nechcieť NIČ + robiť HOCIČO = mať VŠETKO. Vo svojej knihe podrobne rozoberá tento koncept a prevedie vás deviatimi tajomstvami skutočne šťastného života či nadobudnutia životnej rovnováhy. Vďaka množstvu originálnych príkladov zistíte, čo presne autorov vzorec znamená a ako ho uplatniť aj vo svojom živote.

Aufwachen und wissen: Es ist Wochenende. Fantastisch! Das Polareis schmilzt, Hurrikane rasen über das Meer, und auf dem Arbeitsmarkt geht es ruppig zu. Kann man heute noch Bürger dieser Erde sein, ohne in Depressionen zu verfallen? Ja, man kann. Denn bei dem echten, eigentlichen Glück geht es nicht um so unerhörte Dinge wie die 'große Liebe', 'Spitzenerfolg ' oder gar 'Erleuchtung'. Neil Pasricha lenkt unsere Aufmerksamkeit auf die kleinen, wunderbaren Dinge, die nichts kosten und uns Freude bereiten: * eine Musikkassette finden, die ein Exfreund oder eine Exfreundin vor langer Zeit für uns aufgenommen hat; * der Geruch des Regens auf einem heißen Gehsteig; * der Moment, wenn in einem Rockkonzert das Licht ausgeht und der Künstler die Bühne betritt; * nach einem langen Tag nach Hause kommen und riechen, dass jemand für einen kocht; * im Supermarkt am Ende einer langen Schlange stehen und sehen, dass eine weitere Kasse eröffnet wird; * alle Socken, die man aus dem Wäschetrockner zieht, passen perfekt zusammen. Fantastisch! Das Leben ist schön.
