Ich habe es ohne Erwartungen mir angehört. Ehrlich gesagt sollte man hier auch nicht so viele Erwartungen haben, weil es in diesem Buch wirklich nur darum geht, was für Aktionen mutig sind und welche widerum nicht.
Aber das Buch gibt einen zum Denken, dass man ggf mutiger handeln sollte....more

First, I thought "ok, he is going to just state all the facts, which all the other productivity books talk about", but no.
He talks about how to value yourself or your product. He talks about how to be a good boss. He teaches how to get rid of your bad habits - and I absolutely approve of this method.
I also liked the fact, that he talked about how important the small stuff is. Don't just look at the big picture. Put value into the smaller details, be fulfilled, enjoy the process and you will fin.
If you feel pressured, think about how you chose to have this pressure. It's easy to give up. But you are choosing to go through this challenge - and this is also part of one's happiness. Be happy about all your challenges....more
Das ist das erste Mal, dass ich ein Buch Richtung Therapie gelesen habe. Sonst lese ich eher Bücher bzgl Coaching und Selbst-Optimierung.
Was war sehr Das ist das erste Mal, dass ich ein Buch Richtung Therapie gelesen habe. Sonst lese ich eher Bücher bzgl Coaching und Selbst-Optimierung.
Was war sehr interessant. Zwischenzeitlich hatte ich auch selber kurz bemerkt, dass ich auch ein Schattenkind besitze.
Laut der Autorin besitzt jeder Mensch ein Sonnen- und ein Schattenkind. Schattenkinder haben meist eher schlechte Angewohnheiten / Charakterzüge. Diese kann man nicht unbedingt nur mit dem erwachsenen logischen Denken umgewöhnen. Stattdessen muss man schauen, wie man das Schattenkind zufriedenstellt, damit man die schlechten Gewohnheiten nicht mehr an die Oberfläche bringt....more

The author also mentions that there is no one seducing strategy that you could use with everybody. The strategy highly depends on the person you want to seduce, their upbringing, what they were lacking in their childhood, etc. It also depends on what kind of person you want to be.
Also, another interesting fact: Don't be boring ...more

Listened to the audiobook. Since I am a productivity fan and also an Ali Abdaal fan (this is the name of the author), it is a bit difficult to post an Listened to the audiobook. Since I am a productivity fan and also an Ali Abdaal fan (this is the name of the author), it is a bit difficult to post an unbiased review on this book. But let me still try.
I think this book is really amazing. It contains lots of different methods on how to be more productive and also teaches you about a less stressed mindset.
I can't give it 5 starts, though, since I already learned about all of these methods through the YouTube videos of the author. But if you haven't watched his YouTube videos and are more of a book person, then I can highly recommend it.
And I love the last advice of Ali: just try to be productive step by step and try to improve your life in an experimental way. This way, you will find out which methods will be the best for you....more

The author explains what theI am fascinated! I would never have thought that a book about dopamine and the here-and-now hormone could be so exciting.
The author explains what these two hormones do to us humans and that some people have more of one hormone than the other. The book helps you to understand more about why there are also different lifestyles and political inclinations....more

Beim Zuhören kommen einem auch Erinnerungen hoch, wo evtl Leute versucht hatten einen (unbeabsichtigt?) Zu manipulieren.
Hier wird oft das Wort Manipulation verwendet. Zufälligerweise habe ich zwei Verhandlungskurse über masterclass.com von Daniel H. Pink und Chris Voss mir angeschaut und konnte einige Ähnlichkeiten wieder finden.
Genau so konnte ich auch Ähnlichkeiten mit den Prinzipien aus "How to win friends and influence people" wiederfinden.
Letztenendes kommt man langfristig am besten heraus, in dem man sich Mühe gibt, eine gute Beziehung zu den anderen Personen zu pflegen. Gute Eindrücke können durch diese Tricks erzielt werden. Doch diese kann man sich auch selber erdenken. Aber das Buch gibt einen Gedankenstöße, falls man an bestimmte Sachen gedacht haben sollte. Einige Tricks, die man anwenden könnte:
- Parfüm auftragen, um gut zu riechen - Kleidung nach der gewünschten Wirkung anziehen - Komplimente machen Etc.
Die sprachlichen Tricks könnt ihr aus dem Buch hier entnehmen :D....more
Unexpectedly amazing book. I started this book because of its fame and initially, I just thought this will be another productivity / self development Unexpectedly amazing book. I started this book because of its fame and initially, I just thought this will be another productivity / self development book. In theory - it is. But the content was refreshingly different compared to the others.
This book focuses on ones communication skills, showing empathy and knowing ones own values.
100% recommendation if you're into self development. And please don't just listen to the summary of the book. Listen to the whole book ( ・∀・)ノ...more

Regarding the audiobook, I didn't really like the way how the book was read.
But overall, the book had some interesting points. To summarize the key points, I would say, you have to create an interesting story as specific as possible. But try to use less words, so that it becomes easily memorable.
If you ever want to create a new idea, you still have to do your work. There is no framework, which helps you to create the ideas. But the book helps you to make your ideas stick....more

Will definitely read the book / listen to the audiobook again. Lots of insights and tips on how to better help other people in their projects and other things.
I have to say, I had the luck to be taught a few of these concepts already by some of the scrum masters from work. This book is a great complementary source of information.
This book can be used now as a toolbox for me to use in my daily life as well.
Key insight: if someone asks you how to do x. Don't tell them immediately how to do it. Instead, ask questions, so that they can come up with an answer on their own. This will help both sides in the long term....more
