Blink 3 von 12 - Eine kurze Geschichte der Menschheit
von Yuval Noah Harari
The Gateway to Wealth and Prosperity
Could you say, truthfully, that you know what you want from life?
If not, you’re not alone. Most people struggle with this question. They have no trouble saying what they don’t want out of life, though! They might say that they don’t want to be lonely or poor, for instance. But when it comes to what they do want, they’re stumped.
This is a problem if you want to be successful in life. How can you be expected to make your desires a reality if you don’t even know what they are?
The key message here is: Act more intentionally and stick to your goals by identifying what truly motivates you.
If you were to start a long car journey without knowing your destination, what do you imagine would happen? Well, you’d likely end up lost and out of gas.
Similarly, if you go through life aimlessly, you won’t end up anywhere noteworthy. That’s why it’s important to occasionally take stock and remind yourself of what you’re really working toward.
In other words, you need to figure out your why. This is what drives you – what really drives you. It’s your deepest, rawest, truest desire.
Having said that, it’s not always immediately obvious what our why really is; this can take quite a bit of self-analysis to discover.
Fortunately, the author and his team have devised a technique to help expedite the process of self-discovery. This technique is called 7 Levels Deep.
Best done with a partner, the technique involves being asked a “why” question seven times. The answer you provide forms the basis for the next question. So, for example, in response to the question, “Why do you want to earn $100,000 a month?” you might say, “Because it will make me free.” The next question would then be, “Why is it important to be free?” and you might say, “So I can spend more time with my family.” Each round of questioning forces you to dig a little deeper into your motivations.
Once, during a motivational course he was giving, the author performed this exercise on a member of the audience. He was blown away by the participant’s final response. The man revealed that he’d been a drug addict when his mother passed away. Ashamed that this was the last image she’d had of him, he spent the rest of his life trying to make amends by doing good in the world.
Whatever your why is, having a sense of what truly drives you will help refine your vision of where you want to end up.
Millionaire Success Habits (2016) condenses the wisdom of Dean Graziosi’s world-renowned success courses, which teach that successful people have a more positive attitude to life and employ more productive habits than average people. But you too can achieve success, by incorporating the habits that have carried others to prosperity before you! In these blinks, you’ll find insights and exercises that you can implement right now to help you seize your full potential and achieve greater levels of wealth, freedom, and fulfillment than you ever dreamed were possible.
It doesnt matter where you come from, it only matters where you want to go.
Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.
Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.
Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll
Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.
Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
