  Tiny Habits

  Sep 24, 202625 min

  A deep dive into Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg. Only three paths lead to lasting change: having an epiphany, changing your environment, or changing your habits in small steps. The first cannot be summoned, nobody decides to have a revelation. The second depends on means and circumstances that no decision can produce: moving house takes money and an available place, changing jobs takes someone willing to hire you, rebuilding the people around you takes time and chance encounters. That leaves the third, the only one available at will, on any given day. A widespread mistake among the very people whose job is to change behavior, in prevention,… Read the full summary and listen to more books on Synopsia: https://synopsia.app

  The Road Less Traveled

  Sep 24, 202623 min

  A deep dive into The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck. Life is difficult. Once that sentence is accepted, it stops weighing on us: what makes existence unbearable is not the difficulty but the secret conviction that it should not have fallen to us. Complaint, the "why me?", adds to legitimate pain a surplus suffering that leads nowhere. Suffering is the condition of existence, not an accident of it. From there, a single question arises, and everything else follows from it: with what tools does one face this difficulty? Problems are not obstacles to growth, they are its instrument. It is by solving them that the mind is formed, and there is no othe… Read the full summary and listen to more books on Synopsia: https://synopsia.app

  The Power of Habit

  Sep 24, 202625 min

  A deep dive into The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. More than 40% of the actions we perform each day are not decisions at all but habits: the figure comes from a 2006 paper by a Duke University researcher who logged, one by one, the actions of an ordinary day. Most of what we do, then, was never chosen that morning. The mechanism is a three-part loop: a cue, a routine, a reward. The cue tells the brain to switch to automatic mode and which habit to use. The routine is the behaviour itself, physical, mental or emotional. The reward tells the brain whether the loop is worth remembering. Ann Graybiel and her team at MIT observed it in rats placed… Read the full summary and listen to more books on Synopsia: https://synopsia.app

  A Technique for Producing Ideas

  Sep 24, 202624 min

  A deep dive into A Technique for Producing Ideas by James Webb Young. Where the charts showed nothing but deep sea, an islet rises, which had the air of magic for sailors of old, when in fact the atoll is the work of countless coral builders laboring beneath the surface. Ideas appear in the same way above the surface of the mind: what shows is the emergence alone, and the work that produces it was done elsewhere, out of sight. An idea is nothing other than a new combination of old elements. The definition comes from Pareto's division of society into two types. The speculator is the one whose income depends on what he combines: constantly preoccupied with the pos… Read the full summary and listen to more books on Synopsia: https://synopsia.app

  Getting More

  Sep 23, 202626 min

  A deep dive into Getting More by Stuart Diamond. Negotiation is not a specialist's affair, confined to boardrooms and salary talks. Every time people interact there is negotiation, spoken or unspoken, conscious or not: driving, talking to your children, doing the shopping. What decides the outcome is almost never the strength of your case, but what the person across from you perceives and feels. Collaboration, attention to perceptions and emotional intelligence produce four times more value than power, leverage and logic, and twice as many deals closed: twice as many transactions, each one twice as large. The opening move is to go looking fo… Read the full summary and listen to more books on Synopsia: https://synopsia.app
