The era of material happiness is over. Organize your life according to your own lifestyle and make it rich and interesting.
? What kind of person is Honda Naoki: triathlete, MBA, sommelier, member of World Heritage Society, small ship driver, director of securities company, prolific writer. His views are very interesting. Why are you getting richer and more unfortunate? Conversely, Nordic people have less money, a simple and happy life and a high happiness index. Reason: the era of addition has become the era of subtraction. When I was a child, I was very happy to get something. After a while, I found it was a heart disease and a burden. Now, what brings us happiness is subtraction, which reduces something and becomes much simpler. Teacher Fan Deng sold second-hand books and earned more than 500 yuan. Excluding the SF freight in 350 yuan, she earned more than 150 yuan. She is very happy, not because of that 150 yuan, but because there are many books missing from the bookshelf at home. It's called breaking up and selling things that you won't need in your life. When you lower your life goals, reduce some life constraints, reduce,
This book has two most important suggestions:
1, advocating life in two cities:
? The twin city life here is not the villa life in the past-houses in the city and luxury houses in the suburbs, but houses in the city and simple houses in the suburbs or other cities, which can completely change our weekend lifestyle without spending much money.
2. Learn to lower the threshold of happiness;
We are no longer bound by external things, thinking that others will be happy only if they have these things, so we also want to have these things, which is the so-called consumer infectious disease. In fact, you don't need to have what others have. Teacher Fan Deng often wears work clothes, and Zuckerberg wears a gray T-shirt all year round. Happiness comes faster without comparison.
This book puts forward the new happiness standard of 10:
1, enjoy the work; 2. Close friends and family; 3. Have a stable economy; 4. Physical and mental health; 5. Have exciting interests and lifestyles, such as marathon; 6. Have your own time and freedom; 7. Be able to choose the living environment that suits you; 8. Have effective thinking habits and enrich the brain; 9. Be able to look to the future; 10, I feel that I am constantly moving towards my goal every day.
In order to meet the standard of 10, the suggestion of 18 is given:
1, from saving to simple choice. ? This is a change of mind. Saving will bring you pain, and choosing simplicity will bring you pleasure.
2. Having money becomes having time. People who have a real sense of security will not make money desperately to gain a sense of security. People with a real sense of security will enjoy life, a simple life and a wandering life. For example, an American can stand up and play Allegro, travel in China, eat and live in the countryside for free, and set up a stall in the city when he has no money, saying that he can stand up and play Allegro to earn money. When you chat with him, you don't think he is a beggar, but a man with rich spirit, who often jokes happily.
3. From status to freedom. The reason why you won't come out of the government or unit is because of the hierarchy. Hierarchy can bind a person's soul. This hierarchy will make you unattainable. There is a scene worth pondering and retiring. Those identities have nothing to do with you. If you retire, nothing will happen. What really brings us a sense of security is not the position, label and all-out, but the improvement of ability and the richness and freedom of spirit.
4. Large enterprises are not as good as freelancing. In the past, big enterprises were very good. Now, the Internet has magnified everyone's ability, and more and more individuals have created miracles. For example: papi sauce, many innovations are made by individuals now, which will continue to expand your brand awareness. Fan Deng's father was bound by the hierarchy and became a professor, which was useless after retirement.
5, blind selling to provide advice. Fan Deng's wife's shop is never discounted or blindly promoted. Instead, she gave some suggestions lightly and explained the principle. When someone asked her to recommend it, the business naturally came. Now, her customers have formed a friend relationship with her, not a sales promotion relationship, because she is an expert and opinion leader of her customers.
6. Enhance your own strength. ? Watching TV all day, I feel particularly bad and have no sense of accomplishment. But I feel very happy after reading a book, because you are stronger and know more.
7, willing to face hard work. ? I often find hard work in my life, such as sports and yoga, but I enjoy it. The pain at work comes entirely from inertia, because everyone feels pain, so I feel pain, too. "The Second Bloom" once said: "Freedom is to get rid of the inertia of society." When you think hard about solving a problem at work, isn't it a puzzle game? When you write a script, you will feel very bitter. Isn't it a civilization for human beings to create a codeword? Do you want to leave one of your own works? You will be much happier when you can change your view of work again.
8. Keep thinking independently. ? Don't be easily influenced by the outside world, because more words that bring you pain are the voices of the outside world, and you can choose to keep independent choices and independent judgments. Who said 15, 16 years old can't fall in love, who said that you must fall in love at the age of 30, and you can stay married? This is all inertia. I recommend the single society. We don't compare with others in grades, figure, house and car. We don't want to be limited by our surroundings. We should learn to be independent and think independently. That's all that matters.
9. The niche market has more consumption power. You don't have to satisfy everyone, you can consider something very interesting. For example, a friend of Mr. Fan Deng found a paper: an acoustic master developed a sound system that was completely different from the previous way of sound transmission. It didn't come true later. His brother thought it was great, and it took him several years to make a sound system based on this principle. After the sound system is made, the cost is very high, 5. 1 10,000 sets. Then use logical thinking to buy, make a total match, and it will be ready at once.
10, salary increase is not as good as personal brand promotion. What most people are after now is salary increase and subsidy. If they don't get a raise, they won't work hard and will become more mediocre. They also say that the boss is not good. In fact, no matter how bad the boss is, if you are given a job opportunity, you will have the opportunity to build your personal brand and make yourself better. Even if there is no bonus, but with the reputation, this is the most remarkable. For example, the script "To Youth" only cost 50,000 yuan, but earned 1 100 million. In fact, the screenwriter of the script did not suffer, and it also allowed him to establish a personal brand.
1 1, mobile office, multiple offices. ? For example, in 1988, a little girl wrote "scorching sun". She stayed in Sanya and wrote two pages of the script after basking in the sun every day. She has a diverse lifestyle and can go anywhere as long as she submits her manuscript on time.
12, socializing with lifestyle. ? Because of running, surfing, photography and reading club, I can meet many people, and their lifestyles are the same. In this way, my social life suddenly broadened.
13, the pursuit of small fortune in life. Compared with great happiness, small happiness often has a greater impact on our lives. Such as: this breakfast is great, and I have a good sense of happiness inside; We chose the best movie location today. I'm so happy. We don't want luxury cars, luxury houses, bags, etc. We should understand that small happiness is more important, which comes from caring, smiling, hugging and interacting between people.
14, it is not convenient to pursue deliberately in life. Nordic people demand that holiday homes have no electricity, and all of them should be solved manually. This is what human instinct can do. There is a traveler, psychologist and teacher, Yang Xia, who only works 15 days a month and earns enough money. Later, I went abroad in 15 days and often went to particularly difficult places. Only when you really travel to a particularly hard place can you really relax. Why do climbers become addicted? Because that's what really relaxes them.
15, omitted
16, quality is not weight. ? Why are office workers so bitter? If the boss doesn't leave work, he won't dare to leave work, which is costly, inefficient and unproductive. It is most important for us to finish things in a short time and get them out.
17, not compared with others. ? Practice slowly and remind yourself not to compare with others.
18, actively change. You must have the meaning of change.
? In order to achieve so many changes, you need to give up something. What do you need to give up?
1, find out what is the most important thing in your life, decide what not to do, and don't decide what to do first.
2. Start trying to break away and throw away unnecessary things.
3, reset, whether my life can be reversed, an adjustment, a city job, an industry job, a new venture.
4, don't care about the small world, aim long-term, and see what happens in the world and what I can do.
5. Learn to create independently of money. In fact, many innovations do not come from money. Write a script and you'll know after you study it. Teacher Fan Deng didn't spend a penny at the beginning of his business, because of the enthusiasm of several people and their desire to change the country and improve the self-cultivation of citizens. Do it, and you will naturally create something.
6. Reduce dependence on equipment. Iphone, a mobile phone contains all the functions, so the quality of life is constantly improving.
To sum up, the final suggestion:
1, learn to pursue resumption of business, not sideline business. ? Resume: not only a teacher, but also a host; Not only company employees, but also sommeliers. Sideline: Working during the day, driving a taxi or getting a manicure at night, earning some money, and doing these so-called sideline jobs for a living will seriously consume your happiness and will not make you a professional. On the other hand, slowly cultivate your hobbies, make your identity more diversified, and find yourself with great potential. In fact, you can invest in many different industries and directions, because as long as you are willing to study it hard.
2. Advocate life in two cities
3. Promote nomadic lifestyle. Run more, run more, increase your knowledge, don't be too homesick, and keep changing.
4. Put forward a slogan: I hope you can slow down the pace of life, cut off the fetters of life, let yourself need less, let yourself have more spiritual pursuits, read more books, travel more, and let your life be rich and happy from the heart. The era of getting happiness from material things is over. You should start to pursue spiritual enjoyment, change it, make your life different and break the inertia of society.
Study in Fan Deng together, go well all the way, grow up together and meet a better self!
