1
Most people read four books a year, if that, and with millions and millions of published books to choose from, picking the wrong one is easy.
2
So to help narrow your selection, I'm going to share 21 books that have changed my mind.
3
Before I read the book, I thought one way.
4
After I read the book, I thought a different way.
5
For example, number one, Grit by Angela Duckworth.
6
I always thought that talent was what mattered most.
7
And it's true, talent matters, no doubt about that.
8
But it's not the only thing, and it's often not even the main thing.
9
That's the big lesson of this book, which taught me that passion and perseverance for what you do matters even more.
10
That's grit.
11
It might be the most important driver of success.
12
Grit has four elements, Angela says.
13
Deep interest.
14
You have to love what you do.
15
Deliberate practice.
16
Work your butt off in difficult ways so you can improve.
17
And meaningful purpose.
18
Do something in the service of others.
19
And finally, resilient hope.
20
Remain optimistic in the face of setbacks.
21
Best of all, grit is something we can develop in others and nurture in ourselves.
22
That's the first book that changed my way of thinking.
23
Now let's go to number two, a book that some people might not know.
24
It's Thinking in Bets by Annie Duke.
25
Annie is a champion poker player who also has a PhD in cognitive psychology,
26
so she's a great guide to making better, smarter decisions.
27
The key takeaway from this book for me is that
28
when you evaluate your decisions you shouldn't evaluate them based on
29
the outcomes of those decisions you should evaluate them based on the process by
30
which you made
31
that decision she says too many people practice resulting they think a good outcome means you made a good decision
32
but that's not always true
33
and it can lead to making some dumb mistakes in the future
34
so treat your beliefs as bets how confident are you estimate probabilities instead of assuming certainties, know what you can't control,
35
and separate luck from skill.
36
Number three, Flow by the late Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.
37
The best books give you a way to describe something
38
that you know in your gut but don't have the words to describe.
39
That's what this book does.
40
We've all had moments when we are so absorbed in a task that we lose a sense of time, we lose a sense of self.
41
What we're doing is so exquisitely matched to our capabilities that it becomes almost a transcendent experience.
42
It's called flow, and it's a concept that Csikszentmihalyi introduced more than 30 years ago.
43
Because of this book, I always notice when I'm in flow.
44
I also notice when I'm not in flow, and I look for ways to bring flow into my life.
45
Number four, The War of Art by Steven Pressfield.
46
Whenever you sit down to create, the entire universe will conspire against you.
47
Pressfield identifies something he calls the resistance, a hidden force that keeps us from sitting down and doing our work.
48
Amateurs succumb to the resistance.
49
They procrastinate and self -sabotage.
50
Professionals look the resistance in the eye and they challenge it every single day.
51
This book had such an effect on my life that ever since reading it, I've had a sign on my desk that says, beat the resistance.
52
Number five, The Stoic Challenge by William Irvine.
53
There's been a lot written in recent years about the ancient philosophy of stoicism, including some great work by Ryan Holiday.
54
This book is by a professor of classics at Wright State University in Ohio.
55
He encapsulates Stoic philosophy elegantly in just under 200 pages.
56
Reading this helped me do a better job of reframing adversity, frustration, and setbacks in my life,
57
seeing them less as a burden I needed to bear and more as an opportunity I can use to grow.
58
The real game changer for me is the Stoic test.
59
When something bad happens, a deal craters, a project meets an unexpected delay, whatever, You have five minutes to reframe it as a test.
60
Instead of howling about the unfairness, imagine that the stoic gods are testing you.
61
They're testing your ingenuity.
62
They're testing your creativity.
63
They're testing your resilience.
64
And if you can meet that test, you can do better than before.
65
Five down, 16 to go.
66
Number six, The Sports Gene by David Epstein.
67
Some of the books I mentioned on this list describe ways to improve our performance that are under our control.
68
But certain things are not under our control.
69
And when it comes to athletic ability, some of us are inherently better than others of us, unfortunately.
70
There's some really remarkable data in this book.
71
For instance, we can't control our height, obviously, but in basketball height, even a few extra inches is a huge advantage.
72
So of all the American men above seven feet tall, one in seven is currently in the NBA or take women's gymnastics.
73
David says it's now rare to find an elite female gymnast over five feet tall.
74
I love books about sports.
75
I love books about science.
76
This book does a glorious job of changing how I think about both topics, and it's why it's one of my all -time favorites.
77
Number seven, Bias by Jennifer Eberhardt.
78
This is a really smart book on the science of implicit bias.
79
Before reading it, I believed that prejudice and stereotypes were mostly infrequent and intentional.
80
After reading it, I now believe that bias is more frequent than we realize, and most of it is unintentional.
81
It doesn't set out to be mean -spirited because we don't even see it.
82
Here's one example.
83
Decades of research have shown we more easily recognize
84
and differentiate faces of people in our own race than faces of people in another race.
85
We're not trying to be biased.
86
It's the way our brains work.
87
This has huge implications for every corner of our life.
88
Housing, employment, education, policing.
89
And what I like about this book is that it's optimistic in a hard -headed way.
90
It shows bias is less a trait than a state.
91
We can fix it.
92
We can do things to reduce myers in ourselves and overcome it in our world.
93
Number eight, Give and Take by Adam Grant.
94
This book lays out a taxonomy of how we deal with others.
95
Some of us are givers.
96
We help more than we get in return.
97
Some of us are takers.
98
We take more than we give to others.
99
And most of us are matchers.
100
We reciprocate.
101
You help me, I help you.
102
What this book reveals is that the least successful people are givers.
103
That's the bad news.
104
The good news is that the most successful people are also givers.
105
This book will teach you how to be a giver without being a doormat.
106
And that is one secret to success.
107
Number nine, The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker.
108
Have you ever gone to a meeting, a party, or a dinner that was kind of blah?
109
This book will help.
110
The reasons most gatherings are uninspiring and forgettable is that when we organize them, we're typically on autopilot.
111
But this book offers a way to bring your gatherings to life by being intentional, deliberate, and the opposite of a chill host.
112
The keys?
113
Define a purpose for your meeting or dinner or conference, not the logistics.
114
It's a very reason for being.
115
Include the right people, which means not including some people.
116
Establish a set of unique rules for the world you're creating.
117
When you do things Priya's way, you can transform ordinary gatherings into extraordinary experiences that connect people in deep and meaningful ways.
118
10. Unfair by Adam Benferrato A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I went to law school.
119
And after reading this book, I realized that a lot of what I learned was garbage.
120
Benferrato, who's a law professor himself, shows that much of our legal system is built on assumptions about human behavior and the human brain that just aren't true.
121
For instance, we believe we can tell when someone is lying, but we actually have no idea.
122
A lot of the cues we rely on, not looking you in the eye or acting jittery, have no relevance.
123
So, a nervous person may well be telling the truth, and a calm, composed person may be lying through her teeth.
124
And yet, juries put people in jail based on this mistake or eyewitness testimony, it's generally worthless.
125
The human brain is not a perfect video recorder.
126
And yet, we use eyewitness testimony over and over again to determine guilt or innocence.
127
Like a lot of books on this list, this one made me question some of the premises underneath what I believe.
128
Number 11, Influence by Robert Cialdini.
129
This is a true classic.
130
It might be the book I've recommended more than any other.
131
Cialdini is a professor, now an emeritus professor at Arizona State University, and he's considered the father of persuasion science.
132
In this book, he lays out the six principles of persuasion.
133
Six things that can help us persuade others ethically and effectively.
134
Reciprocity.
135
We return favors done to us.
136
Scarcity.
137
When there's less of something, we value it more.
138
Authority.
139
We tend to follow the lead of people with power
140
or expertise consistency we do what we say we're going to do
141
and what we've done in the past liking there's a good chance we'll do something
142
if the person who asks us is someone who's like us
143
or whom we like social proof
144
when others don't know what to do they look around for
145
cues from other people about how to behave in later editions cialdini added a seventh principle
146
but you'll have to read the book to find out that one number 12 rule makers rule Rule Breakers.
147
This book helped me understand countries, organizations, and families in an entirely new way.
148
Some cultures are tight.
149
They have a prescribed set of rules that are pretty rigid.
150
People stick to those rules.
151
It's why public clocks in Germany are always accurate, why some families insist that their kids call adults Mr. This or Mrs. That.
152
Other cultures, they're loose.
153
They have weaker social norms.
154
They're more permissive, more tolerant.
155
It's why public clocks in Brazil are often inaccurate
156
and sometimes way off why some families are totally cool on kids calling adults by their first name.
157
Tight isn't better than loose.
158
Loose isn't better than tight.
159
They're just two different ways to organize the world, two different cultures.
160
After I read this book, I see loose cultures and tight cultures everywhere.
161
It's reshaped how I interpret the world and given me a new way to talk about it.
162
Number 13, The Genetic Lottery by Katherine Page Hardin.
163
This book, I have to say, made me a little uncomfortable.
164
What it shows is that genes actually matter.
165
Genes have a big effect on the outcome of our life and that our birth is in some ways a lottery.
166
Now, that doesn't mean we throw up our hands and say we can do nothing, but it also doesn't mean that we should be ignoring the effect of genes on our life.
167
So this is a very powerful and provocative book showing that if we actually care about building a better world, we have to reckon with the fact
168
that genes have a role in our life and
169
that there is a genetic lottery that some of us do better in and some of us do worse in.
170
Number 14, The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt.
171
I used to believe that human beings make decisions, particularly about moral issues, by carefully weighing both sides of an argument
172
and then settling on the position with the greater weight of the evidence.
173
This book taught me that's nonsense.
174
Instead, people have visceral, emotional reactions to things like abortion or the death penalty, and they enlist reason to support whatever they're feeling.
175
Our rational mind isn't a neutral judge.
176
It's an advocate, a press secretary for what our emotional mind instinctively believes.
177
This book also shows that there isn't a single morality among humans, but a set of several moral foundations, some of them most of us agree with.
178
For instance, don't harm other people.
179
Others, there's less consensus.
180
For instance, always deferring to elders or maintaining purity.
181
John Haidt is now better known for his book, The Anxious Generation.
182
But here's a prediction.
183
This book will last with you and with the world even longer.
184
Number 15, Uncivil Agreement by Liliana Mason.
185
This book will help you understand the mess of American politics.
186
It's a great companion to the righteous mind.
187
We think that politics is mostly about interest.
188
People support a policy because it makes them better off.
189
Higher incomes, larger benefits, more opportunities, whatever.
190
But drawing on her own research and the research of many others, Mason shows that what's really driving politics today is identity.
191
We want our tribe to win, and we're willing to tolerate or even support policies
192
that might hurt our interests if they're advocated by people whose identity is similar to our own.
193
So in this country, the fiercest disagreements can be less about warring political policies than about two distinctly different political tribes.
194
One that is mostly white, mostly religious, and usually not in cosmopolitan areas, and one that is less white,
195
less religious, and almost always in cosmopolitan urban areas.
196
This is a tough problem to solve, but there's a solution.
197
Politicians who appeal to our higher identity, our shared identity as Americans, to what we all have in common.
198
Here's hoping.
199
Number 16, Mindset by Carol Dweck.
200
This one's been around for a while.
201
You might know about it, but it's still monumentally important.
202
Dweck says we can approach what we do with two distinct
203
mindsets a fixed mindset says our abilities math writing social skills whatever are finite and
204
when you fail at something it's a sign you're not very
205
good at it a growth mindset is the opposite it says
206
that our abilities are malleable they're not set in stone with the right effort
207
and dedication you can expand them and that means
208
that failures are actually opportunities to learn
209
and grow this book was transformative for me because I was raised very much with a fixed mindset.
210
But when I read this book in my 30s, I realized that for my own kids and for the rest of my own life, I want to cultivate a growth mindset.
211
Number 17, Scarcity by Sendhil Moulinathan and Elder Shafir.
212
When we don't have enough of something, time, money, resources of any kind, that's challenging in its own right, but it also dramatically affects how we make decisions.
213
Put simply, when you have less, when you confront scarcity, you make worse decisions.
214
For instance, if you're deeply concerned about paying this month's bills, you can develop tunnel vision.
215
You don't think long -term about health or education or other parts of your life.
216
There's even evidence that people who are dieting
217
and therefore hungry tend to be worse decision makers than people who aren't because scarcity imposes a tax on our mental bandwidth.
218
The key point here, when we see people who are struggling economically make impulsive or wrongheaded decisions about their lives,
219
we mistakenly attribute the behavior to character flaws when in fact, that's how most of us would behave in that situation.
220
This book made me much more empathetic to the lives others lead.
221
I wish every policymaker would read it.
222
Number 18, Bird by Bird by Annie Lamont.
223
This book helped me become a writer, plain and simple.
224
The story comes from a story of Annie's brother back when he was in fifth grade.
225
He had to write a report about birds.
226
He hemmed, he hawed, he delayed, he dilly -dallied.
227
And the night before the report was due, he had nothing.
228
So his father offered him some advice about how to write the report.
229
Just take it bird by bird, buddy.
230
Bird by bird.
231
It's an essential lesson for writing and for life.
232
E .L.
233
Doctorow once said that writing is like driving a car at night.
234
You can never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole journey that way.
235
That's why I take it bird by bird.
236
Number 19, Non -Zero, The Logic of Human Destiny by Robert Wright.
237
The books that can truly change your mind are those that help you see what's going on, not on the surface of our lives, but one or two layers beneath.
238
This is one of those books there are two kinds of interactions we can have.
239
In zero -sum interactions, the only way for me to win is for you to lose.
240
In positive -sum interactions, that's not the case.
241
The best way for me to win is to help you win.
242
Wright argues that most, not all, but most interactions are positive -sum.
243
That's become even more true as economies have grown larger and humans have become more interconnected, which means the key to progress is to continue moving away from the zero -sum approach
244
and toward one where there's mutual benefit.
245
This book came out in 2001 but it's even more relevant today
246
when some dark forces in our world are trying to push us toward a zero -sum dog -eat -dog pessimistic future.
247
Number 20 Moneyball by Michael Lewis.
248
Let me confess this is the only book I've ever read that I wish I'd written myself.
249
It's pretty well known now thanks to the Brad Pitt movie of the same name.
250
It tells the story of Billy Bean who was in charge of the Oakland A's, the least wealthy team in Major League Baseball.
251
Bean turned his team of misfits and cast -offs into a contender by challenging the sports conventional wisdom,
252
embracing analytics, and ultimately revolutionizing the game.
253
You don't have to be a baseball fan to enjoy it because Moneyball will leave you with a set of indelible lessons.
254
Think differently, challenge the norms of your industry or your world, and ask yourself, what if everyone else is wrong.
255
Number 21, Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.
256
You think you're too busy or stressed to find meaning in your life?
257
Tell that to Viktor Frankl, who survived three years in four different Nazi concentration camps.
258
He nearly lost his freedom, his family, everything, but he didn't lose his hope.
259
While he was in prison, he wrote on scraps of paper, a new approach to psychotherapy that doubles as a philosophy of life.
260
Franco says that human beings' primary drive isn't pleasure, but meaning.
261
And even in brutal, dehumanizing conditions, we can find purpose and significance.
262
In fact, we can use our craving for meaning to build resilience.
263
If you're struggling, read this book.
264
If you're not struggling, read this book.
265
It's that powerful.
266
These aren't the only books that will reshape your thinking, but they're a start.
267
So, power on your e -reader, crack the spine of a paperback, or hit your local library.
268
When we read books like these, we change our minds.
269
And when we change our minds, we change the world.

ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
