A Guardian Best Book of 2014
A 2014 Brain Pickings Best Book on Psychology, Philosophy, and How to Live Meaningfully

Why is it hard to fall asleep the night before an important meeting? Or be charming and relaxed on a first date? What is it about a comedian whose jokes fall flat or an athlete who chokes?

What if, contrary to what we have long been told, spontaneity - not striving - is the answer to success? Through stories of mythical creatures and drunken cart riders, jazz musicians and Japanese motorcycle gangs, Slingerland effortlessly blends Eastern thought and cutting-edge science to show us how we can embody a spontaneous way of being and live more fulfilling lives.

Opis produktu

Recenzja

In this fascinating book, Edward Slingerland tackles one of the most infuriating obstacles we encounter in our attempts to live meaningful lives. When we try with too much conscious effort to feel happy, or achieve our goals, we sabotage ourselves - but trying to be spontaneous is equally futile. The way out of this paradox is wu-wei, the ancient Chinese ideal of effortless yet accomplished living. Trying Not to Try is both a deeply researched history of this enviable state of relaxed success, and a witty guide to achieving it yourself. Don't overthink whether you're going to read it - just read it -- OLIVER BURKEMAN ― * author of THE ANTIDOTE *

Trying Not to Try navigates the confluence of two mighty rivers: the burgeoning science of the mind and the classic wisdom of China's Taoist and Confucian traditions. This is a thoughtful, grounded book about traditions that should be better known - and more often put into practice - in the West -- DANIEL PINK, author of Drive and To Sell is Human

East meets West in Edward Slingerland's Trying Not to Try, an entertaining and thought-provoking account of how the principles of ancient Chinese thought continue to apply--indeed, may apply even more - in modern times. Slingerland will make you reconsider your approach to everyday life and will challenge you to approach success - and failure - in a new, refreshing and reenergizing light -- MARIA KONNIKOVA ― * author of MASTERMIND *

A work of seminal importance. Yet never was there such an important book that takes itself so lightly. Slingerland explains the correspondence between ancient Chinese philosophical ideas about wu-wei, or doing by not doing, and modern neuroscience. In doing so in erudite fashion, he also manages to discuss Woody Allen, magic mushrooms, his daughter's storybooks, Luke Skywalker and how hard it is to get a date when you're desperate . . . While it will surely take some effort to spread wu-wei in a Western culture saturated by the idea that emotions have to be controlled by the mind, Trying Not to Try is a great step forward. Slingerland's writing, if not wu-wei, is without a doubt effortless ― * Huffington Post *

Ancient China produced some of the greatest wisdom in human history, and Slingerland makes those riches accessible to modern readers. This book represents the humanities at their best - it's grounded in careful research about an ancient culture, yet speaks to the eternal challenges of being human in a complex and confusing world ― * JONATHAN HAIDT, author of The Righteous Mind *

Trying Not to Try is fascinating, original, and mind-expanding - it shows us a completely different way of thinking about success and happiness -- AMY CHUA ― * author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother *

Through a combination of hard science and ancient philosophy, Trying Not to Try has convinced me that my usual approach to life - smashing through walls and grinding out painful victories - isn't all it's cracked up to be. Sometimes trying hard is overrated. Slingerland has written a charming, intellectually rigorous book that can help all of us improve our lives -- JONATHAN GOTTSCHALL ― * author of The Storytelling Animal *

A fascinating read. With state-of-the art science and interesting stories, Slingerland provides key insights from the East and West for achieving happiness and well-being -- SIAN BEILOCK ― * author of Choke *

Valuable and refreshing; it illuminates traditions unfairly overlooked in the West, and does so in a way that's clear-eyed, amenable to science ― * Skinny *

Trying not to Try is an enlightening introduction to the often misunderstood mindset of wu wei, the "being in the moment" that is the key to Eastern wisdom. Slingerland's volume is an invaluable guide to anyone on the quest for a full life, lived spontaneously -- Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi ― * author of FLOW *

An insightful and lucid introduction to some of the most fruitful ideas in ancient Chinese philosophy -- JULIAN BAGGINI ― * Observer *

The thoroughness and dedication to relating these ancient Chinese concepts to a contemporary culture is admirable. The balanced portrayal of strengths and weakness is honest and refreshing . . . this text fulfils an important role by challenging a dominant cultural mindset and encouraging diversity in the schools of thought used to define effort and success ― * Psychologist *

Edward Slingerland's interesting recent book Trying Not to Try contrasts the overscheduled busywork of a modern productivity freak with what he calls "body thinking" . . . This is certainly desirable for a tennis player facing a 130mph serve, or a martial artist, or an improvising musician, but Slingerland wants to argue that social action can become just as virtuously "spontaneous" as well-drilled athletic or artistic action ― * New Statesman *

"Why is it so hard to fall asleep the night before an important meeting?"
...And yet so easy to fall asleep while reading this book?
I would never have guessed that a book about spontaneity and wu wei could be so boring.
Given the title, do I try and finish this or what?
Slingerland seems cool, though. In fact, this guy is probably so wu wei, he's not even trying to be interesting.

Well, the good news is at least he's not a charlatan like Csikszentmihalyi (who's name is really just two bad Scrabble hands back to back), who insists on his own importance page after laborious page.

4,0 z 5 gwiazdek GREAT CONTENT, horrible paperback quality
Opinia napisana w Stanach Zjednoczonych dnia 3 września 2021

I heard Slingerland on the Mindscape podcast and immediately bought this. So looking forward, but the publisher, CANONGATE, has used the same paper as you might find in a cheap Sci-fi book, or pulp detective. Slingerland has lots of value to say and now I’m going to try with the CROWN version. Let’s hope it’s better quality.
