THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER

Reject the default path, define your priorities, and achieve lasting happiness with this transformative guide to your dream life—a life centered around the five types of wealth.

“A powerful call to action to think deeply about what lights you up—and a guide for how to build a life of meaning and purpose.”—Tim Cook, CEO of Apple

Throughout your life, you’ve been slowly indoctrinated to believe that money is the only type of wealth. In reality, your wealthy life may involve money, but in the end, it will be defined by everything else.

After three years of research, personal experimentation, and thousands of interviews across the globe, Sahil Bloom has created a groundbreaking blueprint to build your life around five types of wealth: Time Wealth, Social Wealth, Mental Wealth, Physical Wealth, and Financial Wealth. A life of true fulfillment engages all five types—working dynamically, in concert across the seasons of your journey.

Through powerful storytelling, science-backed practices, and actionable insights, in The 5 Types of Wealth, you’ll learn:

• How to prioritize energy-creating tasks to unlock more time in your day
• How to create deeper bonds and build a powerful network
• How to engage your purpose to spark continuous growth
• How to maximize health and vitality through three simple principles
• How to achieve financial independence and define your version of “enough”

No matter where you are on your path—a recent graduate, new parent, midlife warrior, retiree, or anything in between—The 5 Types of Wealth will help you act on your priorities to create an instant positive impact in your daily life, make better decisions, and design the life you’ve always dreamed of.

這本書,寫給不擅長說話的所有人~~
會說話,走天下!

你是不是曾經:
‧ 不知道拿什麼來當話題?
‧ 對話無法持續下去?
‧ 一開始可以聊,但無法擴大話題?
‧ 無法炒熱氣氛?
‧ 覺得自己說的話很無聊?
‧ 不會整理談話的重點?
‧ 想表達卻不知該怎麼開口?
‧ 在眾人面前發言時腦袋空白?
‧ 無法清楚說明自己的想法?

其實
★擅長閒聊的人,會從提問開始對話
★初次見面就能順利互動的人,會以未來為對話主題
★在人前能好好說話的人,會放慢說話速度

「沒有話題」+「容易緊張」

你是哪一型人?最受歡迎的人格測驗MBTI大揭密 (The Personality Brokers)

邁爾斯―布里格斯人格類型指標(MBTI)主要關注四個領域:
(1)心理能力的走向:你是「外向」﹙E﹚還是「內向」﹙I﹚?
(2)認識外在世界的方法:你是「實感」﹙S)還是「直覺」﹙N)?
(3)倚賴什麼方式做決定:「思考」﹙T﹚還是「情感」﹙F﹚?
(4)生活方式與處世態度:你是「決斷」﹙J)還是「感知」﹙P)?

由這四大問題得出的配搭,可歸結為16種人格類型:
(1)ESTJ大男人型 (2)ESTP挑戰型 (3)ESFJ主人型 (4)ESFP表演型
(5)ENTJ將軍型 (6)ENTP發明家 (7)ENFJ 教育家 (8)ENFP記者型
(9)ISTJ公務型  (10)ISTP冒險家 (11)ISFJ照顧型 (12)ISFP藝術家
(13)INTJ 專家型 (14)INTP學者型 (15)INFJ作家型 (16)INFP哲學家

這個受到榮格啟發而發明出來的人格測驗,現在不只大眾經常用來探索自己的個性,教育界、人力招聘與培訓等專業領域亦經常運用。MBTI的分類法不僅是這個領域的始祖,還啟發了後續許許多多人格測驗,以及媒體刊載的形形色色心理遊戲。但是,發明它的其實不是專業心理學家,而是一對「素人」母女。

凱薩琳.布里格斯與女兒伊莎貝爾.布里格斯.邁爾斯都是認真的家庭主婦、小說作者兼業餘心理分析師。一九二○年代,她們設計這份測驗的目的,是為了把榮格的學說介紹給大眾。這份測驗後來快速發展,在二十世紀中葉風行全美,從煙霧瀰漫的紐約會議室到加州柏克萊,都有它的蹤跡。二十世紀眾多知名企業中創造力強大的腦袋,都接受過MBTI測驗,以釐清發展適性。後來,MBTI測驗走出美國,進一步擴散至倫敦、蘇黎世、開普敦、墨爾本、東京與台灣。最後,就連小學、修道院、療養渡假村,以及黑暗的政治顧問公司與社交網絡上,都能輕鬆找到MBTI測驗的影響。時至今日,它已是全球最受歡迎的人格測驗。

MBTI測驗廣為流傳後,甚至成為每年獲利高達二十億美元的產業。然而,此領域專家們至今仍無法證明,這項測驗結果是否可靠………。本書作者安姆瑞以原創報導及從未公開過的文件為基礎,檢視這樣擁有文化代表性的人格類型,引導讀者省思「自我」的定義。很多人堅信人格類型能夠理解我們是誰:我們為何選擇現在的工作、為什麼愛我們愛的那些人、為什麼會做出明顯矛盾的各種行為。本書試圖找出這種堅定不移的信念從何而來,探討兩位發明者又是如何為人格類型成為大眾文化現象鋪路,以及這現象背後蘊含的深意。

Scarcity Brain: Fix Your Craving Mindset and Rewire Your Habits to Thrive with Enough

Michael Easter

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The author of The Comfort Crisis asks: Are we hardwired to crave more? From food and stuff to information and influence, why can’t we ever get enough?

“Reveals the biological and evolutionary foundations behind your brain’s fixations, so you can stop seeking and start living.”—Melissa Urban, Whole30 CEO and author of The Book of Boundaries

“Michael Easter’s genius is that he puts data around the edges of what we intuitively believe. His work has inspired many to change their lives for the better.”—Dr. Peter Attia, author of Outlive


Have you ever found yourself wondering “Why do I want more than I have?” Michael Easter, author of The Comfort Crisis and one of the world’s leading experts on behavior change, shows that the problem isn’t you. The problem is your scarcity mindset, left over from our ancient ancestors. They had to constantly seek and consume to survive because vital survival tools like food, material goods, information, and power were scarce and hard to find.

But with our modern ability to easily fulfill our ancient desire for more, our hardwired “scarcity brain” is now backfiring. And new technology and institutions—from dating and entertainment apps to our food and economic systems—are exploiting our scarcity brain. They’re bombarding us with subversive “scarcity cues,” subtle triggers that lead us into low-reward cravings that hurt us in the long run. Scarcity cues can be direct and all-encompassing, like a sagging economy. Or they can be subtle and slight, like our neighbor buying a shiny new car.

Easter traveled the world to consult with remarkable innovators and leading scientists who are finding surprising solutions for our scarcity brain. He discovered simple tactics that can move us towards an abundance mindset, cement healthy habits, and allow us to live our lives to the fullest and appreciate what we have, including how to:

Detect hidden scarcity cues to stop cravings before they start, from a brilliant slot machine designer in a Las Vegas casino laboratory
  • Turn alone time into the ultimate happiness hack, from artisanal coffee-making Benedictine monks
  • Reignite your exploration gene for a more exciting and fulfilling life, from an astronaut onboard the International Space Station
  • Reframe how we think about and fix addiction and bad habits, from Iraq’s chief psychiatrist
  • Recognize when you have enough, from a woman who left a million-dollar career path to adventure the world

Our world is overloaded with everything we’re built to crave. The fix for scarcity brain isn’t to blindly aim for less. It’s to understand why we crave more in the first place, shake our worst habits, and use what we already have better. Then we can experience life in a new way—a more satisfying way.
