书籍简介

《如何以更少的资源创造更多价值，并利用限制来提升创造力、创新力和成功率？》——《纽约时报》畅销书榜作品《范围》作者的又一力作

我们生活在一个看似拥有无限选择、并将自由奉为圭臬的世界。我们拥有从未有过的选择，包括做什么、成为什么样的人以及如何支配时间。所有这些选择固然美好，但也令人不知所措。讽刺的是，完全的自由可能会让人束手无策，而无限的资源也未能带来大的突破。事实上，过度重视完全的自由可能会对一切都造成灾难性的后果，从创业到激发创造力，再到获得个人满足感，莫不如此。

大卫·爱泼斯坦认为，我们都能从缩小选择范围中获益。他深入探讨了限制的科学原理和实践方法，探索了在资源有限的情况下，或者通过自我设限来挖掘意想不到的专注力和创新力时，何时以及如何设置指导原则才能真正发挥作用。

《打破常规》一书原创性强、振奋人心，且研究深入，讲述了许多引人入胜的故事，涉及个人、公司和组织如何拥抱限制，取得意义深远的突破——以及一些因缺乏限制而举步维艰的案例。本书颂扬了严格的截止日期、枯燥的目标和意想不到的障碍所蕴含的惊人潜力，并揭示了如何设定合适的限制，从而激发你发挥的创造力和生产力。

    'How to do more with less and use limits to achieve greater creativity, innovation, and success, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Range

    We live in a world that gives us seemingly infinite choices and values freedom above all else. We have an unprecedented number of options regarding what to do, who to be, and how to spend our time. All that choice is wonderful; it is also overwhelming. The irony is that total freedom can be paralyzing, and unlimited resources don't necessarily lead to the biggest breakthroughs. In fact, overvaluing complete freedom can be disastrous for everything from starting a company to harnessing creativity to finding personal satisfaction.

    David Epstein argues that we could all benefit from narrowing our options. He dives into the science and practice of constraints, exploring exactly when and how guide rails can be beneficial, whether we're working with limited resources or using self-imposed boundaries to tap unexpected wells of focus and innovation.

    Original, galvanizing, and deeply researched, Inside the Box tells absorbing stories of people, companies, and organizations who embraced constraints to achieve meaningful breakthroughs—and a few that struggled from a lack of limits. It celebrates the surprising potential of hard deadlines, boring goals, and unexpected obstacles. And it reveals how to set the right constraints to enable you to be the most creative and productive version of yourself.
