特別推薦全球商業(yè)巨頭最愛讀的書
Business leaders didn't get to where they are today without a bit of wisdom guiding them along the way.
如果沒有智慧的一路相伴,商業(yè)巨頭們就不會(huì)有今日的成就。
Many of them cite books — whether strategy guides or novels — that inspired them or changed the way they think.
不論是經(jīng)營戰(zhàn)略還是小說,他們列舉了激勵(lì)和改變他們的思考方式的一些書名。
Trump Organization CEO Donald Trump
特朗普集團(tuán)總裁唐納德-特朗普
Trump named "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale as his favorite book, according to ShortList Magazine. This book inspired Trump at his lowest moment when he was billions of dollars in debt. He told Psychology Today:
據(jù)Shortlist Magazine雜志透露,特朗普最喜歡的書是由諾曼-文森-皮爾所著的《積極思考的力量》。在特朗普處于失業(yè)最低谷,背負(fù)數(shù)十億美元債務(wù)的時(shí)候,這本書激勵(lì)了他。他告訴《今日心理學(xué)》:
"My father was friends with Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, and I had read his famous book, 'The Power of Positive Thinking.' I'm a cautious optimist but also a firm believer in the power of being positive. I think that helped. I refused to be sucked into negative thinking on any level, even when the indications weren't great. That was a good lesson because I emerged on a very victorious level. It's a good way to go."
“我的父親和諾曼-文森是朋友。我讀過他的著作《積極思考的力量》。我是行事謹(jǐn)慎的樂觀主義者,也是相信積極樂觀的力量的忠實(shí)信徒。我認(rèn)為這一點(diǎn)幫助了我。我不愿陷入負(fù)面思維里,即使種種跡象表明目前情形不容樂觀。這是很好的一堂課,因?yàn)槲夷芤詣倮叩淖藨B(tài)出現(xiàn)。這種方式值得嘗試。”

她透露她最喜歡的書是由唐納德-諾曼撰寫的《設(shè)計(jì)心理學(xué)》。
"I think a lot about design and products and how things should work. But it makes you notice things that can be infuriating. Like, why does my sandwich shop have meat all the way over there?At the same time, it makes you think about design in new ways, because when you use something everyday it needs to be absolutely efficient and not get in your way. It’s cool to be able to articulate and discuss that on a level that is really accessible and interesting."
“關(guān)于設(shè)計(jì)、產(chǎn)品和工作原理,我思考了很多。但這本書會(huì)讓你留意到能讓你抓狂的事物。比如說,為什么我的三明治店里的肉總要從那里采購?此外,它會(huì)讓你產(chǎn)生考慮設(shè)計(jì)的新思路,因?yàn)槟忝刻於家褂茫运^對是高效又不礙事的。能在可行又有趣的層面上清晰地表達(dá)和討論,這感覺很棒。”
