7 月晨读,换个玩法。这一次我们共读英文原版书Rework,顺手练语音,学地道表达。
1. Rework 是本什么样的书?
简单来说 Rework 是一本人人都能读完的企业管理类畅销书。
全书共 88 篇文章,每篇最长不过 3 页,语言简单地道、生动有趣,金句不断;内容和职场工作相关,从思维方式入手,让我们重新审视思维上的陷阱和行动上的迷思。是一本可以提升认知,顺便学习地道口语表达的好材料。
NBA 达拉斯小牛队老板 Mark Cuban 评价这本书时说:If given a choice between investing in someone who has read Rework or has his MBA, I'm investing in Rework every time... a must-read.
比如作者反对加班,他说:
Workaholics aren't heroes. They don't save the day, they just use it up. The real hero is already home because she figured out a faster way to get things done. Rework

Rework
有些人加班其实是在摸鱼,装模作样,让老板觉得你在认真工作而已,作者称这种心理是ass-in-seat mentality。他还用到了burn the midnight oil, pull an all-nighter, a badge of honor 这些常见、形象的表达。
他还一针见血地说加班实际上是懒惰的表现:They try to make up for intellectual laziness with brute force. 这和我们常说的“用战术上的勤奋掩盖战略上的懒惰”如出一辙。
