BUSY: HOW TO THRIVE IN A WORLD OF TOO MUCH

Book ID/图书代码： 07980013B65223

English Summary/英文概要： So many people feel far too busy - unable to work properly on the things that are important to them and stuck in a rut. This book, written by a well-connected business psychologist, puts that feeling in context and provides practical solutions for people to become happier, more motivated and more successful.

t’s difficult to ask anybody ’How are you?’ without hearing the word ’busy’ somewhere in their response. We feel overwhelmed by busyness because of the demands on our time: our inbox and our to-do list are bulging, a huge amount of people expect things from us and our organisations are trying to do more with fewer people.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. In reality, busyness isn’t essential. Yes, there is a lot to do, but believing you’re always busy because you have so much to do is both false and unhelpful. Busyness is a normal response to a world of too much, but it isn’t the only response.

In Busy Tony Crabbe draws on solid psychological research to address one of the great problems of modern life: we’re too busy. But it isn’t a time-management book. Rather than providing advice for increasing productivity and efficiency, it sets out four key strategies (corresponding to sections of the book) for thriving despite of the overload of too much:
1. Mastery - to move beyond busyness you need to regain a sense of mastery over your life. This section shows you how to build a sense of control back into your life, take responsibility for making choices and how to set boundaries to protect you from the flood of demands and information.
2. Focus - in a world of too much, success is not about doing more at work but about making an impact. This section outlines three ways to move to a career strategy that doesn’t rely on productivity alone.
3. Engagement - busyness can cause you to disengage from the people, values and activities that are important to us. This section provides you with the three keys to re-engaging with your work and life.
4. Momentum - part of the challenge to moving beyond busyness is that even if you agree you should make the change, you’re too busy to find the time and energy to do anything about it. This section is dedicated to helping you make the change, creating the impetus, energy and clarity to move to a life less busy.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 很多人都觉得自己过于忙碌了，不能在自己认为重要的事情上花心思，而被卡在一个瓶颈上。商业心理学家在书中提供了行之有效的方法使人们能更快乐，更有主动性，同时也能更成功。

当问别人“你怎么样？”别人的回答不是“很忙”就觉得很奇怪。我们的时间被各种各样的要求填满而觉得忙到透不过气来，我们的邮箱，未完成的列表，流水线般的工作，我们的团体总是想用更少的人完成更多的工作。

但其实我们并不需要这样。我们的确有很多事要做，但你的大部分工作都是虚假而毫无帮助的。忙绿并不是生活唯一的回答。

托尼•克拉布运用了很多心理调查来回答现代生活中最难解的问题：我们为什么这么忙绿。但这并不是一本时间规划的书籍，他并没有告诉你一些增加效率的建议，而是四个关键的策略教会读者如何忙里偷闲。

1. 掌控：要忙里偷闲你必须学会掌控自己的生活。学会做选择，为自己设置些界限，以免跌进要求和信息的洪流里。

2. 专注：在大量的工作量面前，成功并不是看你工作的量，而是你的工作是否有重大的影响。这个部分作者介绍了三个方法来使你不单纯依靠效率来提升工作质量。

3. 融入：忙碌使你远离了对你很重要的人，价值观和活动。这个部分使你重新认识自己的生活和工作。

4. 动力：你总是太忙碌以至于没有意识到你必须做出改变。这个部分会帮助你创作出动力，能量，清晰地做出改变，使自己再也不这么忙碌。（XAT）
