LisaBuongiorno reader, ci sono giorni in cui tutto sembra sfuggirci, ma a volte basta un buon libro per ritrovare il centro. Ecco 5 libri self-help (in inglese) che mi hanno aiutata con produttivitĂ , ADHD, ricchezza e pace mentale. Curiosi?
A volte ci sembra che la vita ci stia sfuggendo di mano e anche se ci impegniamo non riusciamo a sentirci in pace con noi stessi. Ci sono diversi modi per riuscire a sentirsi meglio. Uno di questi, nel mio caso, è leggere libri che raccontano l’esperienza o gli studi dell’autore ed i metodi che ha imparato ad utilizzare per prendere in mano il suo tempo ed esserne padrone.
Ovviamente, non tutti i libri possono rivelarsi utili per tutti, ci saranno alcuni libri che per qualcuno sembreranno ovvi e che per qualcun altro invece saranno motivo di riflessioni e cambiamenti.
Oggi vi porto quindi una lista di 5 libri self-help, in inglese, che ho letto ed ho trovato in qualche modo utili e che mi hanno aiutata in diversi momenti della mia vita.

Make Time, di Jake Knapp e John Zeratsky
From the New York Times bestselling authors of Sprint, a simple 4-step system for improving focus, finding greater joy in your work, and getting more out of every day
Nobody ever looked at an empty calendar and said, “The best way to spend this time is by cramming it full of meetings!” or got to work in the morning and thought, Today I’ll spend hours on Facebook! Yet that’s exactly what we do. Why?
In a world where information refreshes endlessly and the workday feels like a race to react to other people’s priorities faster, frazzled and distracted has become our default position. But what if the exhaustion of constant busyness wasn’t mandatory?
What if you could step off the hamster wheel and start taking control of your time and attention? That’s what this book is about.
As creators of Google Ventures’ renowned “design sprint,” Jake and John have helped hundreds of teams solve important problems by changing how they work. Building on the success of these sprints and their experience designing ubiquitous tech products from Gmail to YouTube, they spent years experimenting with their own habits and routines, looking for ways to help people optimize their energy, focus, and time. Now they’ve packaged the most effective tactics into a four-step daily framework that anyone can use to systematically design their days. Make Time is not a one-size-fits-all formula. Instead, it offers a customizable menu of bite-size tips and strategies that can be tailored to individual habits and lifestyles.
Make Time isn’t about productivity, or checking off more to-dos. Nor does it propose unrealistic solutions like throwing out your smartphone or swearing off social media. Making time isn’t about radically overhauling your lifestyle; it’s about making small shifts in your environment to liberate yourself from constant busyness and distraction.
A must-read for anyone who has ever thought, If only there were more hours in the day…, Make Time will help you stop passively reacting to the demands of the modern world and start intentionally making time for the things that matter.
