书籍简介

国际畅销书《从优秀到卓越》的作者吉姆·柯林斯，为我们提供了关于如何构建——以及重塑——人生的变革性启示，这些启示都源于我们每个人在人生中都会反复遇到的悬崖时刻和人生转折。

问题

人生的意义何在？

这是一个我们每个人都不止一次苦苦思索的问题。我们如何在世界中找到自己的方向？我们如何跨越人生的悬崖——那些足以彻底改变人生的重大事件？我们如何让内心的火焰永不熄灭，直至永恒？

出于永不满足的好奇心，吉姆·柯林斯花费十年时间研究这些问题，并细致分析那些人生从清晰转为迷茫，将我们抛入迷雾的时刻。

研究

他的研究将不同的人生经历并列比较，让他们在人生的悬崖边相遇，并分析他们做出的不同选择和走上的不同道路。

两位摇滚音乐家，面对着没有了曾带给他们成功的乐队的未来。

两位妇女参政论者实现了她们的伟大目标，却面临着下一步该如何走的难题。

两位身陷丑闻的公众人物不得不重新思考如何重建人生。

两位花样滑冰运动员在奥运生涯结束后，寻求新的目标。

柯林斯对作家、演员、科学家、领袖等各界人士进行了广泛的研究，构建出一个框架，帮助我们理解如何构建、维系并不断更新个人生活。

研究发现

通过考察这些杰出人物的漫长人生轨迹，柯林斯探讨了人生中的诸多问题。我们需要做些什么才能：

找到一个真正能带来满足感的人生角色——一个与生俱来的、与生俱来的角色——并在第一个角色结束后找到第二个角色？

克服人生中的重大转折点——一个迫使我们做出下一步抉择、重新构想未来岁月的转折点？

让你的个人财务状况运转良好，从而专注于一件能点燃你内心激情的大事？

当你感到迷茫甚至彻底迷失方向时，如何拨开迷雾，一步步建立自信？

如何较大限度地减少厄运的影响，并确保好运带来的较大回报？

如何逐年积累个人动力，让你较具创造力和活力的岁月贯穿你的一生？

如何实现“认识你自己”的终极目标，并将自我认知应用于人生的每个阶段？

蜕变

柯林斯以动人的笔触记录了自己的故事，揭示了这项计划如何改变了他，从根本上改变了他的思维方式和情感。“经过这项研究，”柯林斯写道，“我对生活的看法将永远改变。”

《如何看待人生》一书出人意料、故事引人入胜、研究深入、令人振奋，是一本独一无二的书，它令人信服地展现了充实而有意义的人生如何触手可及。

Jim Collins, international bestselling author of Good to Great, offers transformative lessons on constructing ― and reconstructing ― a life through the cliff moments and transitions we all will face repeatedly in our lives.

THE QUESTION

What to make of a life?

It is a question we all wrestle with more than once. How do we find our way in the world? How do we make it past the cliffs, significant events that can radically change a life? How do we keep the inner fire burning bright, long and late?

Inspired by relentless curiosity, Jim Collins devoted a decade to studying these questions and to minutely analysing those moments when life flips from clarity to confusion and casts us into a befuddling fog.

THE STUDY

His exploration compares various lives side by side, paired together at cliffs, and analyses the different choices made and divergent paths taken.

Two rock musicians confronting a future without the group that had brought them success.

Two suffragists achieving their epic goal and then left with the puzzle of what to do next.

Two public figures tainted by scandal having to make decisions about how to rebuild their lives.

Two figure skaters seeking new purpose when their Olympic careers come to an end.

What emerges from Collins’s extensive studies ― of writers, actors, scientists, leaders, and many others ― is a framework for understanding how individual lives can be built, sustained, and constantly renewed.

THE FINDINGS

By examining the long arc of these remarkable lives, Collins tackles life’s questions. What does it take to:

Discover a deeply fulfilling role in life ― one that you are naturally 'encoded' for ― and then find a second one, if the first one ends?

Overcome a major cliff ― a fracture point that forces choices about what’s next and calls for you to reenvision the years to come?

Make your personal economics work so that you can focus on One Big Thing that feeds your inner fire?

Navigate the fog when you feel uncertain or even outright lost, and build confidence step by step

Minimise the impact of bad luck and ensure the maximum return on good luck?

Build personal momentum decade upon decade, so that your most creative and energetic years are spread across an entire lifetime?

Achieve the imperative to 'Know Thyself' and apply self-knowledge to each phase of life?

THE TRANSFORMATION

For the first time, Collins movingly chronicles his own story to reveal how undertaking this project transformed him, changing his thinking and reshaping his emotions in fundamental ways. 'After this study,' writes Collins, 'I will never look at life the same ever again.'

Surprising, story-driven, deeply researched, and uplifting, What to Make of a Life is a book like no other and convincingly shows how a richly fulfilled life is within reach for us all.
