Knowing you need to listen and knowing how to listen are not enough. ![]() ![]() Desire is the motivation, the want to do.Knowledge is the theoretical paradigm, the what to do and the why.'Habits' Defined A habit is the intersection of knowledge, skill, and desire: Breaking deeply imbedded, habitual tendencies such as procrastination, impatience, criticalness or selfishness that inhibit effectiveness involves more than simple willpower or a few minor changes. Habits are deeply ingrained and we are constantly pulled in their direction. Because habits are consistent, unconscious patterns, they constantly express our character and result in our effectiveness or ineffectiveness. Our character is a composite of our habits, which factors heavily in our lives. One of the most compelling books ever written, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People®, have empowered and inspired readers for over 25 years and played a part in the transformation of millions of lives, across all age groups and professions. Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People®, continues to be a bestseller for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology and focuses on timeless principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity. ![]()

![]() I like Siddhartha's solution, but you'll have to keep reading for that.Įdit: I didn't mean to suggest that using shade three times is the reason I find the first sentence underwhelming.Įdit #2: I did a podcast episode here and a blog post here, thanks to all for the feedback! It applies to a lot more than just addiction. I keep coming back to this book and idea, Never Enough. It's almost like watching one of those billionaire kids crying about their birthday party. But what any readers will learn soon, it isn't enough. For his time, he has everything anyone could want. He is the elite class, survives to adulthood, is good looking, has falcon like physical attributes. Siddhartha wins the jackpot in the birth lottery.

Translating Peter's Lewyckyj's notes gave me enormous pleasure - and not just because I too was born and spent my childhood and youth in Ukraine. ![]() Marina has kindly agreed to contribute to E&T an exclusive essay about her Dad and his similarities (as well as differences) with Nikolai Mayevsky (see below).īut before I leave you in the engaging company of Marina and her father, I'd like to say this. "A Short History…" is moving, entertaining and profoundly human in its message. This extraordinary book, which has so far sold well over a million copies worldwide, is a story of two British-Ukrainian sisters, whose elderly father - a somewhat naive airy-fairy widower in his 80s - falls under the spell of a buxom thirty-something blonde gold-digger from Ukraine. Internationally best-selling British novelist Marina Lewycka has offered E&T readers a very special Christmas gift - notes and drawings of her late father, engineer Peter Lewyckyj - prototype of Nikolai Mayevsky, the protagonist of "A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian" - this century's most famous work of fiction with an engineer as the main character. ![]() ![]() ![]() Americans suffered through the threat of killer bees, “Deep Throat,” the Symbionese Liberation Army, a national meat boycott, “The Exorcist,” Moonies and the punishing self-help racket est, to which a hustler named Werner Erhard (né Jack Rosenberg) attracted followers as diverse as the Yippie Jerry Rubin and the Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Wade, the frantic American evacuation of Saigon, stagflation, the dawn of the “energy crisis” (then a newly minted term) - were adulterated with a steady stream of manufactured crises and cheesy cultural phenomena. The major mid-70s disruptions - the Watergate hearings and Richard Nixon’s abdication, Roe v. A period that yielded the blandest of modern presidents, Gerald Ford - “a Ford, not a Lincoln,” as he circumspectly described himself - is not to be confused with cataclysmic eras like the Civil War, the Great Depression and the Vietnam ‘60s. Next to the more apocalyptic spells of American history, the dismal span of 1973 to 1976 would seem a relative blip of national dyspepsia. ![]() ![]() ![]() As a reader, he nearly convinced me that he doesn't. He hates that she's moving on, but he feels he doesn't quite deserve her. The night is broken up by his reminisces about dates with Priyanka and her phone conversations with her prospective groom from America. ![]() Shyam is paralyzed with self-doubt and hung up on Priyanka, whom he works with and used to date. ![]() The flat language use may be a problem with the translation. I assumed that the apology would turn out to be false modesty or a foil to underscore the brilliance of his insights, but the language of the novel is straight-forward and workaday to the point of becoming boring and the brilliant insights never materialized. Shyam, the narrative character of the interior story, apologizes at the outset for his plain speech. The characters, all of whom work at the call center of the title, go to work, gossip, take breaks, and worry about the impending 'rightsizing.' Their boss speaks in impenetrable business jargon, and his incompetence may be a leading factor in the upcoming layoffs. But despite the reality-blurring frame, the story itself is average. The framing of the story was interesting - while on an overnight train, a mysterious, beautiful woman tells the author the story of the call center, but only after he agrees to the woman's terms: if she tells the story, he must use it for his next book. I didn't dislike it, but I can't think of anyone to whom I'll be recommending it either. ![]() |
