And may the Force be with you!

Who is this book for

For everyone who wants to develop their own recipe for productivity.

From the author

It often happens that you pick up a book with the hope that it will change something in you. It’s even possible that you came to this book for a reason, but thanks to reviews from friends who said: “Read this book! It changed my life.”

Can this (or any) book change your life? I don't have a ready answer for this, but I do have two anecdotes that suggest it.

E-mail:

“Hello, I am the Mongolian virus. Due to the poverty of my creator and the general backwardness in the development of high technology in our country, I cannot cause any harm to your computer. Please erase the few files you most need yourself, and then send me by mail to your friends.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.”

And one more:

– How many psychologists does it take to replace a light bulb?

– One is enough. But the light bulb must sincerely want to change.

I think the hint is clear - nothing will happen without your participation. Here I want to make an important point: the opposite is not true. If you don't do anything, nothing will happen. But if you want and try, this does not guarantee anything.

I have often heard the phrase from many business coaches: “If you haven’t achieved something, you just didn’t want it bad enough.” As if one desire is enough. My favorite counterexample to this phrase is insomnia. Surely each of you has at least once encountered this incomprehensible condition: you need to get enough sleep, you want to sleep, but you toss and turn half the night and just can’t fall asleep. Is it really because you weren't motivated enough to get enough sleep before the next big event?

In our world, there are no guaranteed methods to succeed, only guaranteed methods to screw up. However, many things (especially when it comes to what is in our mind) are not controlled by our desire alone. And, as will be shown towards the end of the book, this is not always a bad thing.
