Living for Work: Shrimp Busy Bees

I finished reading this book today. After reading it, I found out that this book was bought at the beginning of the month, and it was finished within a month.

Maybe it's too resonant, so I want to keep watching and keep watching. Some of them feel like they are about to lose their minds, but the ending is not bad. It is probably a neutral and slightly pessimistic ending, which is completely in line with my taste.

I found that the publisher of this book is not a world culture or business week, so the propaganda strength and reputation do not seem to be that strong, but the overall is not bad, slightly inferior to Yuval Harari, the source and remarks after each chapter are very rich (also where the focus is drawn).

Sort out the impressive places:

law of increasing entropy

It is interesting to use thermodynamics to explain social phenomena. I also took a look at the online course to introduce what is the second law of thermodynamics. Our life will only become more and more complicated, and the troubles will only become more and more cut. No wonder whether it is life or business environment, everyone tells everyone to follow The concept of negative entropy, otherwise it will only kill one's own people.

gathering society

What they enjoy is immediate return, and we embrace return in the future. We prefer cumulative rewards. People in the gathering society don’t spend too much time working, and only go to the wild to hunt for food when they need it, which is enough, but if you If you keep hiding food, if you don't share it with others, you will be condemned (as the book describes it). It sounds beautiful at first glance, and it should have a little socialist element. But I really like the “live in the moment” attitude of the gathering society, similar to the nomadic people or the composure of taking things with them.

busy work

 Have nothing to do but find something to do to pursue self-righteous satisfaction?

The definition of work is determined by the need for you to consume the remaining energy in your body. When you see this sentence, it sounds like a person who can work hard and then gradually becomes overworked?

We need work because of excess energy, which is the Chinese translation of this book to live for work

Think if you spend time filling your belly or dodging enemies, there shouldn't be much time for other activities.

In addition, the book mentions a word "work addiction", why do you have to work so hard, why do you want to please your boss and colleagues, why don't you just do what's cool for you? make yourself happy why not

Recently, I like to read books on anthropology because some historical stories and reasons are mentioned in the books, so that I can understand those theories in economics or any mainstream theories that I have learned before, and why those people developed these theories. One step to think about and say why should I believe the theory he advocates? Is he actually just bullshit? And what is the difference between the time and space background of those who proposed the theory and now? (Voice of Mystery: Accidentally deceived by economics for many years)

I feel that a lot of things are bullshit, and in the end, it's not just wanting to have a meal~"~

at last,

Because people's aspirations have no limits, people's desires have no limits, so there is such a ever-changing society!

Still have fun! Who knows if the next second self will fall into a box?
