Know this, read this book for a long time

I've been reading Effortless for a long time.

I've been trying harder.

Think the more tired = the more it works.

But this book teaches that

Maybe just "simplify" is enough.

When you start choosing to do only really important things

Life is lighter, but the results are better.

Too bad I really just came to read it now.

# Book review # Effortless # Develop yourself # Lemon 8TH

4/8 Edited to

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวหลังได้อ่านหนังสือ Effortless ที่เล่าถึงแนวคิดการทำงานและใช้ชีวิตที่ไม่จำเป็นต้องเหนื่อยหรือซับซ้อนเกินไป ทำให้นึกถึงช่วงเวลาที่เคยพยายามทำงานหนักจนตัวเองหมดแรงและเครียดมากขึ้น แทนที่จะโฟกัสที่สิ่งที่สำคัญจริงๆ แต่เมื่อได้อ่านหนังสือเล่มนี้ กลับกลายเป็นว่าเทคนิคง่ายๆ เช่น การลดสิ่งที่จะทำให้น้อยลง เลือกทำเฉพาะเรื่องที่สำคัญจริงๆ และปรับมุมมองให้การทำงานดูเบาขึ้นนั้น กลับทำให้ผลลัพธ์ดีกว่าที่เคย สิ่งที่ชอบมากในหนังสือคือการเปลี่ยนความคิดว่า “ยิ่งยากยิ่งเก่ง” อาจจะไม่ใช่เสมอไป เรื่องที่ง่ายลงแต่ได้ผลลัพธ์สูงกลับเป็นสิ่งที่ใช้ได้จริงในชีวิตประจำวัน โดยเฉพาะการบริหารเวลา การตัดกิจกรรมที่ไร้สาระออก และลดความรู้สึกผิดเมื่อไม่ได้ทำทุกอย่างอย่างเต็มที่ หรือทำงานหนักจนหมดแรง นอกจากนั้น ตัวอย่างเรื่องราวของบุคคลที่ทำงานหนักมากแต่สุดท้ายกลับหมดแรง เช่น แพทริก แมคกินนิส ที่ถูกเล่าถึงในหนังสือ ก็สะท้อนให้เห็นว่าการพยายามหนักเกินไปไม่ใช่ทางออกเสมอไป สำหรับใครที่รู้สึกเหนื่อยกับการทำงานหรือพยายามพัฒนาตัวเอง แต่ไม่รู้จะเริ่มยังไง การอ่าน Effortless จะช่วยให้เห็นภาพชัดเจนขึ้นว่า แค่เปลี่ยนวิธีคิดและลงมือทำงานให้ง่ายแต่มีประสิทธิภาพ ก็ทำให้มีชีวิตที่ดีขึ้นได้จริงๆ และยังช่วยรักษาความสุขและสมดุลในชีวิตประจำวันด้วย

This book was so long but worth it!
I’m usually a firm believer that books do not need to be more than 500 pages but I just finished this 700 page high romantasy fantasy and it was so good! Definitely check trigger warnings because it is a dark book but it was easily 4 or 4.5 stars for me. I DO feel like it could have been sp
