Usually when this happens I tend to leave empty handed but I decided to see if anything new was in the Psychology section. This book caught my eye, and without taking too close a look at it I decided to give it a shot. Something about it jogged my memory but after checking my previous loans and determining that I hadn't taken it out before I couldn't think of why. After a few pages it all became clear to me. The book is written by Leo Babauta, the owner of Zen Habits, a blog which I have had a nose around in during the last year. His blog posts are relatively short and cover a broad spectrum of minimalism, Zen Buddhism, health & fitness and productivity all mashed together. I have found some of these posts useful and interesting to read, but none of them have been a massive departure from my current mindset. Having read a book based on a blog before I was a little concerned that it would be a collection of blog posts thrown together. I am happy to say that this is not the case, this is a properly written and edited book and not merely a collection of articles. This book concentrates mainly on how to be more productive in your working life be simplifying things. It is a concept that I am fairly familiar with but I had hoped the book would cover the other aspects of life in more detail. It also really only applies if you do an office job, something which doesn't apply to me. There is also a degree of confusion in the writing as he advocates concentrating on one goal at a time but then mentions doing at least 3 tasks a day and having 3 projects on the go along with various other numerical rules. I understand the basis of what he means but he doesn't communicate this very effectively. He also touches on some other things like reducing stress and things such as health & fitness. The health and fitness advice is very good, it's just a shame that it isn't covered in more depth. In my experience, the tips on improving your health are spot on but unless you are already familiar with them they will be hard to implement as they are not thoroughly explained. Overall I quite liked this book, it's easy to read and the subject is covered in a decent enough manner. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
"The Power of Less" is a blueprint for reducing the clutter, noise, and unnecessary work that fills a modern day. Babauta's lessons enable readers to do less, be more effective, get more done, and simplify their lives. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
