倘若你必須費盡力氣使某件事情發生， 那麼也許生命對你另有安排。   「我越是匆忙，越是落後。」 「不間斷的會議，讓我窒息。」 「我在不同任務之間切換，因此很少獲得完成任何一件事的滿足感。每次的勝利都有苦澀的後遺症，因為我太累了，累到不想慶祝，只是接著去完成清單上的下一個任務。」 「拼命完成工作縱使能產生成果，但我們可能到達錯誤的目的地，或者一路上造成自己和別人不必要的痛苦和折磨。」     ￭****生活如此忙碌，同時又如此空虛？ 我們活在一個「搞定事情」「效能至上」的世界   面對變動的職場現實，讓人身陷過度的忙碌之中，感覺被逼到極限、精疲力竭，受困於複雜的計畫和工作場域的諸多要求。多數人掙扎求生，逆勢而為，最終導致壓力、焦慮全盤崩潰。   當我們發現自己正在艱困地逆流而行，不妨自問我們到底想做什麼？這麼做合乎自然嗎？我們是否使用不管用的方法？強迫自己朝不管用的方向推進。一旦我們停止掙扎，不再違抗潮流，不強迫、不控制，借力使力、甚至與阻力合作，順勢而為，新的選項便有可能浮現。如同河流從源頭流向海洋，我們將發現新的生活、新的工作和新的成功模式，而展開新的行動，找到對我們真正重要的東西。   ￭****這是一本有助於將努力程度減至最低的一本書。 不要強推無法移動的物體，而要開始藉由「做」得更少，來成就更多事情。 ** **   ￭本書內容與特色： ** ** 本書散發著商管書少見的詩意，書中想要傳達的概念被包裝在一篇篇可讀性極高的短小散文故事中，好像在與讀者談心一樣，讓人無所防備地吸收作者想傳達的經驗和洞見。...
