书籍简介

这是一份非传统的、不拐弯抹角的指南，教你如何打造一份真正与你内心所爱相契合的理想职业——一份让你“不觉得辛苦”的梦寐以求的工作。本书出自一位顶尖风险投资家之手，内容源自他广为流传的大学演讲。

如今，比尔·格利（Bill Gurley）因其对优步（Uber）等公司的成功投资而闻名。但在找到他梦寐以求的风险投资工作之前，格利也曾险些落入一个影响数百万人的陷阱：“职业后悔”。家庭压力和不完善的教育体系将太多年轻人推上了一条流水线，最终的目的地只是少数理想化的“安全”工作。但格利和沃顿商学院的最新研究表明，十分之六的人可能会在多年后后悔自己的职业选择。

人类一生中大约有8万个小时是在工作中度过的。难道这些时间不应该用来做自己热爱的事情吗？如何才能避免落入职业后悔的陷阱？

过去二十年来，格利观察了各行各业的佼佼者，从科技、酒店到娱乐，他们都攀上了事业的顶峰，并在各自的领域中散发着喜悦。为什么他们能够蓬勃发展，而其他人却步履维艰？是否存在找到理想工作的秘诀？

在《追梦不停》一书中，格利剖析了成功的要素，总结出六项关键原则，帮助年轻人开启蓬勃发展、充满意义的职业生涯：

1. 保持好奇心

2. 精进技艺

3. 寻找行业导师

4. 与同侪携手共进

5. 积极参与行业动态

6. 回馈社会

格利认为，这些是永恒的成功要素。在本书中，他以引人入胜、直言不讳的口吻，结合几位杰出人物的生动故事，将这些要素娓娓道来。

正如格利所写，“人生就是一场不用则废的博弈。”这本书对“懒惰的工作”和“悄悄辞职”的说法进行了急需的纠正，它将激励新一代人摆脱流水线式的工作，找到那些让他们充满好奇心的事物，并将这些兴趣转化为蓬勃发展的事业——让工作不再感觉像是工作。

An unconventional, no-bullshit guide to forging a rewarding career that actually maps onto the things you care about in the world--a dream job where "the hustle doesn't feel like hustle"--from a leading venture capitalist, based on his viral college talk

Today, Bill Gurley is known for his successful investments in companies like Uber. But before he found his dream job in venture capital, Gurley came close to falling into a trap that affects millions: "career regret." Family pressure and a broken education system push too many young people onto a conveyer belt where the destination is a small subset of idealized "safe" jobs. But, as new research by Gurley and the Wharton School of Business shows, 6 in 10 people are likely to regret their career choice years down the road.

Humans spend an estimated 80,000 hours of their lives at work. Shouldn't that time be spent doing something you love? How can you avoid the trap of career regret?

For the past two decades, Gurley has observed people who have climbed to the top in fields ranging from technology to hospitality to entertainment--and who radiate joy in their chosen field. Why did they thrive while others floundered? Is there a formula to finding your dream job?

In Runnin' Down a Dream, Gurley breaks down the components of success, identifying six key tenets that will set young people up for flourishing, purpose-filled careers:

1. Chase Your Curiosity

2. Hone Your Craft

3. Develop Mentors in Your Field

4. Embrace Your Peers

5. Go Where the Action Is

6. Always Give Back

These, Gurley contends, are the timeless ingredients for success. In this book, he brings them to life--through his own captivating, straight-talk voice and revealing stories of a handful of iconic individuals who epitomize them.

"Life," as Gurley's writes, "is a use-it-or-lose-it proposition." A much-needed corrective to talk of "lazy jobs" and "quiet quitting," this book will inspire a new generation to step off the conveyer belt, find the things that make them insatiably curious, and turn those fascinations into a thriving career--where the work doesn't feel like work at all.
