The 4-Hour Chef
WHAT IF YOU COULD BECOME WORLD-CLASS IN ANYTHING IN 6 MONTHS OR LESS? The 4-Hour Chef isn’t just a cookbook. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure guide to the world of rapid learning. #1 New York Times bestselling author (and lifelong non-cook) Tim Ferriss takes you from Manhattan to Okinawa, and from Silicon Valley to Calcutta, unearthing the secrets of the world’s fastest learners and greatest chefs. Ferriss uses cooking to explain “meta-learning,” a step-by-step process that can be used to master anything, whether searing steak or shooting 3-pointers in basketball. That is the real “recipe” of The 4-Hour Chef. You'll train inside the kitchen for everything outside the kitchen. Featuring tips and tricks from chess prodigies, world-renowned chefs, pro athletes, master sommeliers, super models, and everyone in between, this “cookbook for people who don’t buy cookbooks” is a guide to mastering cooking and life. The 4-Hour Chef is a five-stop journey through the art and science of learning: 1. META-LEARNING. Before you learn to cook, you must learn to learn. META charts the path to doubling your learning potential. 2. THE DOMESTIC. DOM is where you learn the building blocks of cooking. These are the ABCs (techniques) that can take you from Dr, Seuss to Shakespeare. 3. THE WILD. Becoming a master student requires self-sufficiency in all things. WILD teaches you to hunt, forage, and survive. 4. THE SCIENTIST. SCI is the mad scientist and modernist painter wrapped into one. This is where you rediscover whimsy and wonder. 5. THE PROFESSIONAL. Swaraj, a term usually associated with Mahatma Gandhi, can be translated as “self-rule.” In PRO, we’ll look at how the best in the world become the best in the world, and how you can chart your own path far beyond this book. -

取悦症
“取悦症”是一种强迫的甚至成瘾的行为模式——对他人的认可上瘾。取悦者会努力想让除了自己以外的每个人都满意,甚至牺牲自己的健康和快乐来取悦别人。但与人为善的结果可能会让别人利用你。 为了始终保持好人形象,你尽力不表现出愤怒和不悦,不管这样的情感表露多么正当,而且,你会避免批评别人,以免被别人批评。心理学家把这叫作“冲突避免”,你会把对抗和愤怒看作危险的情感体验。 取悦症的三种类型: 认知型“好人” 驱使你取悦于人的动力是这种思维定式:你需要并且争取让每一个人都喜欢你。而你衡量自尊和定义自我的依据,就是你为他们做了多少。如果你是一个认知型“好人”,那么你就会陷入沉重的自我亏待心态中。 习惯型“好人” 如果你是一个习惯型“好人”,那么你就会被迫牺牲自己的需求而照顾他人的需求。你会为他人做得太多,几乎从来不说“不”,很少给他人派活儿,并且会变得无力招架、疲于应付。 情感逃避型“好人” 对这一类型来说,取悦症主要是因逃避令人害怕和不安的情感而导致的。 想知道自己是不是有“好人情结”?属于哪种取悦症类型?请翻到本书第2页,直接开始测试 “我已经为别人做了一切,但是没有人给我回报。” “我对每个人都那么好,可他们把那看成是理所当然的。” 你是众人眼里的大好人吗? 你的“好人情结”有多严重?“好人指数”有多高? 是否无论你现在有多忙,只要有人提出请求、邀请,不管这会给自己带来多少麻烦、不快和高昂代价,仍会毫无原则地照单全收? 太多超出自己能力范围的任务令你应接不暇,感到分身乏术? 所有这些令别人满意的付出,却并未让你自己真正感到幸福快乐? 如果答案是“Yes”,你该读一读这本书。
