喚醒內心的「佛陀」與「壞蛋」,讓工作成為生活裡美好、充滿啟發的一部份!
如果你醒著的時間中,大約有百分之七十都用於工作──而且可能大多時間,都為此感到痛苦,《活出意義:10項讓人生大躍進的卓越思考》作者、網路創投公司Mindvalley創辦人維申.拉克亞尼將在本書告訴你:面對僅此一次的人生,你絕對有別種選擇。
認為汲汲營營、努力埋頭工作是通往成功的道路,這件事是現代社會的迷思。每個人都擁有不可思議的獨特力量,一旦你下定決心釋放內在力量,喚醒內心的「佛陀」與「壞蛋」──奇妙的事情即將發生,這個過程將完全破壞你現有的工作模式,並讓你獲得可以改變現實規則的工具。
「佛陀(Buddha)」代表靈性的部分,讓人能在混亂的世界中,隨著內在意識帶來的平和與心流狀態生活;「壞蛋(Badass)」則是代表著勇於挑戰常規、擁抱變革的部分。
拉克亞尼認為,無論是單純採取「佛陀」的柔軟、靈性,或是「壞蛋」的積極、全力投入,對個人來說可能都不是最佳選擇,若我們能同時結合這兩個類型的態度,便能夠在幸福、輕鬆、靈感豐富的狀態中工作、進一步邁向成功,並將人生提升到另一個層次。在本書中,拉克亞尼分享他實踐以上概念的技巧,帶領讀者一步一步,創造生活與工作的平衡狀態。(文/博客來編譯)
The New York Times bestselling author of The Code of the Extraordinary Mind challenges everything you thought you knew about how to inspire and empower your teams.
Forget hustling. This book will disrupt your deeply held beliefs about work, success, and, indeed, life.
If you're the average person in the developed world, you spend 70 percent of your waking hours at work. And if you're the average person, you're miserable for most of those hours. This is simply not an acceptable state of affairs for your one shot at life. No matter your station, you possess incredible unique powers. It's a modern myth that hard work and hustle are the paths to success. Inside you is a soul. And once you unleash it fully into the domain of work, magic happens. Awakening the Buddha and the Badass inside you is a process that will disrupt the way you work altogether. You'll gain access to tools that bend the very rules of reality.
• The Buddha is the archetype of the spiritual master. The person who can live in this world but also move with an ease, grace, and flow that comes from inner awareness and alignment.
• The Badass is the archetype of the changemaker. This is the person who is out there creating change, building, coding, writing, inventing, leading. The badass represents the benevolent disruptor--the person challenging the norms so we can be better as a species.
Once you integrate the skill sets of both archetypes, you will experience life at a different level from most people. You will operate from a space of bliss, ease, inspiration, and abundance. The Buddha and the Badass: The Secret Spiritual Art of Succeeding at Work will show you how. Author of the New York Times bestseller The Code of the Extraordinary Mind and founder of Mindvalley, Vishen Lakhiani has turned his own life and company into his research lab. He's codified everything he's learned into the how-to steps in this book. The Buddha and the Badass teaches you how to master your work and your life.
