Summaries, Notes, and Reviews from Books I've Read
我读过的书的摘要、笔记和评论

Most of the important things I’ve learned have come from books, articles, speeches, and other media. After seeing how Derek Sivers publicizes his book notes, I decided I would publicize all of my summaries and notes from books, speeches, articles, and other things I was reading.
我所学会的大部分重要知识都来源于书籍、文章、演讲和其他媒体。在看过德里克·西弗斯如何公开他的读书笔记之后,我决定公开我所有的书籍摘要、笔记、演讲以及我阅读过的其他内容。

To get the notes, click on any linked title. I included short snippets and ratings to give you an idea of what you might find interesting. I’ve roughly categorized it by topic, some of these are broad, some are narrow, it’ll change with time.
点击链接标题获取笔记。我加入了简短片段和评分供您参考有趣的内容。我已粗略按主题分类,有的范围广泛,有的范围狭窄,它会随时间而改变。

The notes and summaries are meant to be concise, reminding me of high-level concepts and not trying to recreate the whole book. You can use them to remind yourself of something you read or to decide on something new to read.
笔记和摘要应该简洁明了,提醒我高层次的概念,而不是试图重新创造整本书。你可以用它来提醒你读过的东西,或者用来决定读什么新书。

Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace (10/10)
Please refer to relevant websites for more information, and feel free to ask me any other questions

凯文·西姆勒的《裙带关系信仰》(评分 10/10)

The 50th Law by Robert Greene (9/10)
罗伯特·格林《第 50 定律》(评分:九星)

《纳西姆·尼古拉斯·塔勒布的普罗克鲁斯床》(评分 9/10)

No other book can get me into a good groove of thought as quickly as this one. The joy of aphorisms is that they’re bite sized pieces of thought meant to get you going, so you can jump around and find ones that fit the moment and you’re off.
没有其他书能像这本书一样让我迅速进入良好的思考状态。格言的乐趣在于它们是思考的小块碎片,旨在让你行动起来,这样你就可以跳跃并找到适合当下的格言,然后行动起来。

How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World by Harry Browne (9/10)
《如何在不自由的世界中找到自由》作者哈利·布朗(评分 9/10)

An excellent primer on pursuing more freedom in your life. Very impersonal egoist influenced, and it makes good arguments around honesty, priorities, and the traps that we put ourselves in. One of the few self-help books I'd recommend.

Traction by Gabriel Weinberg and Justin Mares (9/10)
《Gabriel Weinberg 和 Justin Mares 的牵引力》(9/10)

The 4-Hour Chef by Tim Ferriss (9/10)
四小时厨师(Tim Ferriss 著)(9/10)

The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell (9/10)
《神话的力量》约瑟夫·坎贝尔(9/10)

On Writing by Stephen King (9/10)
斯蒂芬·金《写作》(9/10)

The Inner Game of Tennis by Timothy Gallwey (9/10)

It’s about much more than Tennis. It’s about how to get out of your own way so you can perform at your best. How to “get out of your head” so you don’t try to control your unconscious processes with your conscious mind.
Kind of like a guide to zen for people who aren’t into all of the “zen-y” parts.

Learning

The Goal by Eliyahu M. Goldratt (9/10)
《目标》(作者:艾略图·戈德拉特)(评分:9/10)

Self-Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson (9/10)
《自立》(Ralph Waldo Emerson 著)(9/10)

Fantastic modern stoic wisdom. Reading this with a bit of background in Seneca or Epictetus makes it evident where Emerson drew his inspiration from, but he adds a bit more of a "RAH! GET AFTER IT!" attitude that makes it more invigorating.
绝佳的现代坚强隐忍的智慧。对塞内卡或埃皮克提图的背景阅读会显而易见看出埃默生的灵感来源,但他以更“振作起来!再接再厉!”的态度使内容更加鼓舞人心。

Fantastic, it’s everything you expect from Peterson and more. Billed as a “self-help” style book, it beautifully interweaves history, religion, science, and philosophy into a highly pragmatic book on how to be a fulfilled, successful, better human being.

Fantastic introduction to biases and how to identify them in ourselves and others. Read it! Sort of like the other-minded companion to Paradox of Choice.

Walden by Henry David Thoreau (8/10)

Decisive by Chip and Dan Heath (8/10)
决定力:Chip 和 Dan Heath(8/10)

I love Decisive, I think it’s one of the most practical “decision theory” books out there. They break down many of the biases and heuristics covered in other books in a way that makes them easier to manage, instead of simply pointing them out and saying “well, have fun!”
我喜爱《决断力》,我认为这是最实用的“决策理论”书籍之一。它以一种更易于处理的方式解析了其他书中涵盖的许多偏见和启发式方法,而不仅仅是指出它们并说“好吧,祝你玩得开心!”

Always love Taleb. I found this book less practical than Antifragile, but it lays a conceptual groundwork for Black Swan and Antifragile to “warm you up” for his next books.
我一直喜欢 Taleb。我觉得这本书没有《抗脆弱》那么实用,但它为《黑天鹅》和《抗脆弱》设定了概念基础,让你对他的下一本书有所“预热”。

Nobody Wants to Read Your Shit by Steven Pressfield (7/10)
Please refer to relevant websites for more information, and feel free to ask me any other questions

It’s a good book for some writing tips on making your stories more compelling. Especially important in a world with so many information sources competing for people’s attention. Very readable, quick, and you’ll get some good notes from it.
这是一本很好的书,提供了一些写作建议,让你的故事更具吸引力。特别是在这个有很多信息来源相互竞争的世界里非常必要争取人们关注的情况下尤其重要。通俗易懂,篇幅短而精致,而且能从中收获不少见解独到的见解和技巧建议。

Simple Rules by Donald Sull (7/10)
《简单规则》Donald Sull(7/10)

Absolutely essential concept, and one that I’ve been a fan of for a while. The book is useful in exploring simple rules and giving examples, but I get the sense they padded it a bit because it could be much shorter.
这是一个绝对重要的概念,我一直都很喜欢。这本书在探索简单规则和提供例子方面很有用,但我感觉他们有点凑字数,因为它本可以更短。

Mate ("What Women Want") by Tucker Max (7/10)

Not as good on "dating" as Models, but a very useful book on "Being a better guy." The psychology on understanding women's POV in dating was...

Landscape Photography II: Advanced Tools and Techniques on Skillshare (7/10)
风光摄影 II:Skillshare 上的高级工具与技巧(7/10)

More good material on landscape photos, going into more detail on different situations than he did in the first part of the series. I think it rambles at times, though, could have used a bit more editing.
更多关于风景摄影的优质内容,比他在系列第一部分中更深入地探讨了不同情况。我觉得有时有点冗长,可能需要多一点编辑。

The $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau (7/10)
《一百元创业》(Chris Guillebeau 著)(7/10)

A useful book for someone getting started with microbusinesses, or lifestyle businesses, and wants some more guidance. Nothing revolutionary, though.
这是一本适合刚开始涉及微型商业或生活方式业务的人的实用书籍,他们可能需要一些更多的指导。不过没有什么革命性的内容。

Simple Numbers, Straight Talk, Big Profits! by Greg Crabtree (7/10)

A summary of Simple Numbers, Straight Talk, Big Profits! A good book on basic accounting for businesses doing less than $10M a year. It helped me make a simple spreadsheet for planning Growth Machine hiring which I appreciated a lot.

The Price of Privilege by Madeline Levine (6/10)
特权的代价 - 马德琳·莱文 (6/10)

The first 1/3 is a great primer on the problems of popular parents styles and how that leads to depression, angst, and the excellent sheep problems. The rest is how to parent better, which I (obviously) did not find quite as useful (but if you’re a parent, read it!!!)
前三分之一的内容是关于常见育儿方式的问题,以及这些问题如何导致抑郁、焦虑和‘优秀绵羊’问题的极好介绍。其余部分则是关于如何更好地育儿,我(显然)觉得这部分不太有用(但如果你是家长,一定要读!)

So Good They Can’t Ignore You by Cal Newport (6/10)
《他们无法忽视你》by 卡尔·纽波特 (6/10)

Don’t “follow your passion,” focus on getting really good at something and passion will follow. This summarizes the entire book, without offering as much tactical advice as Deep Work (to me). Many people think this is his better book though, so try it for yourself.
不要“追随你的热情”,而要专注于某件事并变得非常擅长,这样热情自然会随之而来。这句话概括了整本书的内容(对我来说,没有《深度工作》那么具体的战术建议)。尽管许多人认为这是他的更好作品,还是自己去尝试一下吧。

Entrepreneurship

What Every Body is Saying by Joe Navarro (6/10)
乔·纳瓦罗的《每个人都在说什么》(6/10)

Extremely useful for learning to interpret other people’s body language. One of the best books on the subject. After you read it you’ll be noticing these little cues everywhere--it’ll be impossible to unsee them.
这对手学习解读他人的身体语言极其有用。这是这个领域最好的书籍之一。读完后,你会在各个地方注意到这些细微的暗示——它们将无法被忽视。

The best book I've found on crafting a compelling message. Useful for speaking, marketing, writing, any time you need to make people listen, believe, and act.

Different by Youngme Moon (6/10)

The message of this book is HUGE! Do NOT try to make sure your weaknesses are up to par as everyone else, love your weaknesses and accentuate your strengths.
这本书传达的信息非常重大!不要试图让你的弱点达到其他人一样的水平,而是要爱你的弱点,突出你的优点。

The Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwartz (6/10)
巴里·施瓦茨的《选择的悖论》(6/10)

This is an excellent book for someone who is new to cognitive biases and heuristics and who wants to improve their decision making. I didn’t get much out of it since I already knew a lot of it, but if you’re just getting into the topic it’s a good place to start.
这是一本非常适合初识认知偏误和启发式方法,且希望提升决策能力的读者的优秀书籍。由于我已经了解很多相关内容,所以没有获得太多新知,但如果你刚刚接触这个主题,这是一个很好的起点。

Decision Making

Discipline & Punish: The Birth of the Prison by Michael Foucault (6/10)
《规训与惩罚:监狱的诞生》( Discipline & Punish: The Birth of the Prison),米歇尔·福柯著(6/10)

Confusing… and one of the harder books I’ve ever read. I’m not sure I recommend it, but it’s good. Definitely gave me a much better understanding of postmodernist thought than by just going off of how it’s described in the popular media.
令人困惑... 这是我读过的最难懂的书之一。我不确定是否推荐,但它确实很好。它让我对后现代主义思想有了更深入的理解,而不只是依赖流行媒体的描述。

Philosophy

What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars by Jim Paul (6/10)
《从亏损一百万美元中我学到的》吉姆·保罗 (6/10)

A more story-focused version of many of the lessons in Fooled by Randomness. If you understood that book, you won’t need this one.
这是《随机乱讲的故事》中很多故事的更加专注的故事版本。如果你已经理解了那本书,你就不需要这本书了。

Merchants of Doubt by Naomi Oreskes (6/10)
《怀疑论者》Naomi Oreskes 著(6/10)

Interesting, tough to get through at parts. It’s very “this happened, then this happened, then this happened…” Disturbing to see how few people could have such a large negative impact on the public understanding of science and health, though.
很有意思,有些部分很难理解。这就是“先发生了这个,接着发生了那个,然后发生了这个……”令人不安的是,很少有人会忽视如此大规模的负面因素对公众科学素养认知造成的影响。

Science

Smoke Signals by Martin A. Lee (6/10)
《烟波烟云》(Martin A Lee 写的书评,打分:十分之六)

An interesting history on the medical and legal history of weed in the US. I didn't realize how bad the misinformation around it has been, or how much money and energy has been wasted in fighting its spread.
美国关于大麻的医疗和法律历史十分有趣。我并未意识到围绕它的错误信息有多严重,也没有意识到在遏制其蔓延方面浪费了多少金钱和精力。

Lower rating is just because it gets a little slow at times and it's LONG.
较低的评分只是因为它有时会变得有点慢,而且它很长。

Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil Degrasse Tyson (6/10)
《给匆忙中的人们的天体物理学》尼尔·德格拉斯·泰森 (6/10)

An entertaining read on science and astrophysics, but ultimately it felt a little shallow compared to books like A Brief History of Time.
这是一本关于科学和天体物理学的有趣读物,但最终感觉与《时间简史》等书相比略显肤浅。

Unconventional Medicine by Chris Kresser (6/10)
克里斯·克雷瑟的非传统医学(六分之一)

Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin (6/10)
《极端所有权》乔克·威尔林克和莱夫·巴宾著(十颗星满分评六颗星)

While I think the ideas are compelling, and agree that leaders should take responsibility for their teams, there were plenty of cases in the book where the opposite of the concept could have been an equally valid argument.
虽然我认为这些观点很有说服力,并且同意领导者应该为团队承担责任,但书中还有很多情况正好与这个概念相反也作为了合理的论据。

Leadership

Happy Accidents by Morton A Meyers (6/10)

An interesting overview of the role of serendipity in scientific and medical breakthroughs. It got a little dry at times, though, and somewhat repetitive. Still an interesting medical and scientific history though.
对科学和医学突破中偶然性作用的有趣概述。虽然有时稍显枯燥,且有些重复,但仍然是一个有趣的医学和科学历史。

Street Photography: Capture the Life of Your City (6/10)

The heuristics for good street photos are great, but all of the editing is done with VSCO filters which was kind of annoying. Wanted to learn more about doing the editing myself.

Worldly Wisdom: Quotations and Aphorisms by Josh Kaufman (6/10)
人生智慧:《名言妙语集锦》(乔舒亚·考夫曼作品)(6/10)

An assorted collection of quotations and aphorisms on various subjects. Unrated since it didn't really introduce anything, just curate them. Good for a skim through to find interesting ideas and thinkers.
包含各种主题的引用和格言集锦。由于没有具体的评价等级,只是对这些内容进行了整理。粗略浏览一下就能发现有趣的想法和思想者。

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair (6/10)

More about capitalism than the meat packing industry, it's an entertaining book, but fails to make a compelling case for socialism.
这是一本引人入胜的书,更多讲述的是关于资本主义而非肉类加工行业的内容,但并没有令人信服地证明社会主义的主张。

Blue Ocean Strategy by W. Chan Kim (6/10)

Mental model: create blue oceans, don't fight in the "Red oceans." The figures are useful for determining how to find your blue ocean strategies.

I Used to Be a Human Being by Andrew Sullivan (6/10)
我曾经是人:安德鲁·萨利文的自传(评分为十分之六)

Technology has made us inhuman, this piece argues. I'm not sure how compelling it is since most of these habits are just deeper human desires manifest in new technology, but it's an interesting argument nonetheless.
这篇文章的论点是,技术让我们变得不像人类。我不确定这个观点有多吸引人,因为大多数习惯都只是更深层的人类欲望在新的技术中的体现,但它仍然是一个有趣的论点。

Dying Every Day: Seneca at the Court of Nero by James Romm (6/10)
《日日死亡:尼禄宫廷的塞内卡》詹姆斯·罗姆著(6/10)

An interesting story about the life of Seneca, though it made me realize that I care much more about his ideas than him as a person.
关于塞内卡的有趣故事,虽然让我意识到我更在意他的思想而不是作为一个人的他。

Biography

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark Manson (6/10)
《漠不关心的微妙艺术》马克曼森(6/10)

Some good ideas, but I would suggest an old philosophy book instead. If you enjoy his blog you'll enjoy the book, but to others, the writing style might seem unnecessarily coarse.
有些不错的想法,但我想建议一本古老的哲学书籍作为替代。如果你喜欢他的博客,也会喜欢这本书的,但对其他人来说,写作风格可能显得过于粗俗。

Daily Rituals by Mason Currey (6/10)
《每日仪式》作者梅森·库瑞(书评得分 6/10)

A little dull just reading through summaries of everyone’s routines, but it was cool to see how different famous people whose work I like worked. Lots of drugs, alcohol, bad habits, but also strong routines and rituals.
Please refer to relevant websites for more information, and feel free to ask me any other questions.

The Rational Optimist by Matt Ridley (6/10)
《理性乐观派》(作者马特·里德利)(评分 6/10)

It’s just okay. There are some interesting stats on global prosperity, but it was kind of hard to get through at parts and felt overly optimistic in others. I’d rather read a more balanced perspective on the subject.
一般般。关于全球繁荣的一些统计数据很有意思,但有些地方很难理解,而且感觉过于乐观了。我更想读一些关于这个主题的更平衡的观点。

一本关于如何为您的服务业务吸引更多客户的体面书籍。您可能只需要阅读摘要,有很多重复内容。

Obviously Awesome by April Dunford (6/10)

Sacred Cow by Diana Rodgers and Robb Wolf (6/10)
《神圣奶牛》由黛安娜·罗杰斯和罗布·沃尔夫撰写(评分 6/10)

A densely packed book of information on meat and health, ethics, and the environment. Great if you're already bought in to the benefits of meat and want some data, but it'd have a hard time convincing a skeptic.
这是一本关于肉类、健康、伦理和环境的信息密集书籍。如果你已经认同了吃肉的好处并想要一些数据,那将是非常棒的,但它很难说服一个持怀疑态度的人。

I'm also having a hard time verifying some clams, so it warrants further research.
我也很难验证一些蛤蜊,所以还需要进一步研究。

Science

Mastering the Market Cycle by Howard Marks (6/10)

A good book on trying to get a sense of where you are in the broad cycles of the market. Skip to the last chapter and read that, then go forward for the parts you wanna go deeper on.
一本试图了解自己在市场大循环中所处位置的好书。直接跳到最后一章阅读,然后按需向前阅读深入的部分。

The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn (6/10)
托马斯·库恩的《科学革命的结构》(6/10)

The beginning and end are fantastic for getting a better grip on how science is done, and understanding how it moves in cycles more than linear progress. The middle dragged a bit.
开头和结尾非常精彩,有助于更好地理解科学是如何进行的,以及它是如何以周期性的方式而非线性进步的。中间部分稍显拖沓。

The Willpower Instinct by Kelly McGonigal (5/10)

A good book on willpower, but I no longer recommend it since it seems like most of the research in it hasn't held up.

Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday (5/10)

Better than Obstacle, it has some useful advice and good stories about how ego can lead to your downfall. It’s a tangent to stoic philosophy, so if you enjoy those concepts you’ll probably get something from this book.

Money Master the Game by Tony Robbins (5/10)
《金钱:大师的游戏》 by 托尼·罗宾斯 (5/10)

Particularly useful is the “goal setting” so you know how much money you’re really shooting for.

The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande (5/10)
《检查清单宣言》by 阿图尔·葛文德 (5/10)

Checklists are good for making sure things get done, even in complex fields like medicine. Make more of them. (That's most of the book).
检查清单对于确保事情完成很有用,即使在像医学这样复杂的领域也是如此。应该制作更多这样的清单。(这就是书中的大部分内容)。

The Inevitable by Kevin Kelly (5/10)
《必然》凯文·凯利(5/10)

An interesting collection of thoughts on where the future might be headed, but I found myself bored during it. It just feels like Kevin rambling over a couple drinks about what might happen.
对未来可能走向的一些有趣的想法,但我发现自己在听的过程中感到无聊。这感觉就像凯文在喝几杯酒时随意畅想未来会发生什么。

That said, if you’re in the tech startup space (or want to be), this will probably give you a lot of ideas.
话虽如此,如果你在科技创业领域(或者想要进入这个领域),这可能会给你很多灵感。

Million Dollar Consulting by Alan Weiss (5/10)
百万美元咨询 - 阿兰·魏斯(5/10)

It’s okay, not sure why it’s so popular. Most of it felt fairly intuitive. The outline for creating a good proposal was great, though, and easy to incorporate into my own work.
没问题,不确定为什么它这么受欢迎。大部分感觉相当直观。创建一个好的提案的大纲很棒,而且很容易融入到我自己的工作中。

Entrepreneurship

Bold by Peter Diamandis (5/10)
彼得·迪亚曼迪斯的《大胆》(5/10)

The first 2/3 of the book is an excellent primer on being bold as fuck, then the last third is a confusingly placed foray into crowdfunding (??). The first 2/3 are great though if you want to start thinking bigger with your goals.
这本书的前三分之二是关于大胆行动的精彩入门,然后最后一部分突然转向众筹(??)。如果你希望为自己的目标设定更大的视野,前三分之二的内容非常出色。

这本书我没有获得太多收获,它介于《选择的悖论》和《四小时工作周》的一些心理学之间,但做得不够好...

Civilized to Death by Christopher Ryan (5/10)
《文明的终结》克里斯托弗·瑞安著(10/5)

A summary of Civilized to Death. A fine book on the decline of quality of life as a result of civilization, felt a little heavy handed at times though and I felt like I already knew most of it.
《文明的冲突与生死》。这本书论述了文明所带来的生活质量下降问题,但书中有时候觉得描写略显过分沉重,我感觉我大部分都知道了。

The Revolt of the Elites (5/10)

Unshakeable by Tony Robbins (4/10)

这基本上是《金钱游戏大师》的精华摘要,但我建议你阅读完整书籍,因为它更为详尽,值得投入时间。

This is basically a much worse version of 4-Hour Chef. Kaufman doesn’t bring nearly as much to the table as Ferriss, and it feels a little rushed and under researched. Wouldn’t recommend it if you’re trying to quickly develop skills, I’d read 4-Hour Chef instead.

You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero (1/10)

不要读它。她一开始用一些有趣的材料来吸引你,然后开始调整你的能量与宇宙相匹配,任何尊重现实的人都会在那一点上止步。
