レビュー
The Scariest thing I've read since Silence of The Lambs
-Malcolm Boswell
Read it before you plan to jump off the bridge..i did and its why i'm still here. Can't recommend it enough!
- Francis Moore
Will anger some people And thats good because it crushes sacred cows we never question! Loved it - hope to see another - Katie Duggan
Probably the real "Origin" is in this book...i just pushed through the new Dan Brown book "Origin" and some similarities (Brown obviously focuses on religions while this book doesn't) but this one really tries to give an answer. Likely my delusion that a fiction book would try to give a believable Origin: A Novel answer to what life is about - John Wall

Excellent food for thought - I loved it
2017年5月28日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This is a book that will really make you think. Most of us have so many commitments that get in the way of actually living our life, this will give a new perspective on that and discuss ways in which we can claim back free time. It has fun cartoons at the beginning, and charts too, but the thing I really liked about this book was the philosophical discussion. This doesn't just focus on the practical aspect of free time, but it looks deeply at our purpose and what we are doing here with our life. I really recommend it, it is something I will read again and again.

Surprised - i should be more careful in what i wish for
2017年6月8日にカナダでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Few books give me eye openers, this one did from the start. Time disappears so quickly, we hardly notice. The intro has this free time graph. Never heard of it. I tested it out and what!?...8 years free time is all i got left on this planet! Stunned - when its broken it down like that- this has been repeating in my mind now for 24 hours. Now i'm trying to figure out what to change in my life. Grigorov 's writing seems to get little heavy in some parts but those parts seem most worth reading slowly. I've long wanted to do my own thing, this is the kick i've been needing since The four hour work week by Ferriss ages back gave me a similar boost, but then it passed by, got to refocus and put down daily goals. Origin of Why: The proven Meaning and Purpose of Life actually does....stick to its title...a pleasant surprise.

What they don't teach in school - Unless i slept through it
2017年6月6日にオーストラリアでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Having studied social sciences like philosophy and others at University and now on the hunt for a job this book got my interest when it popped up.
I really didn't think it was going to give the answer to the meaning of life, but having the word "proven purpose and meaning of life" in its title did get my interest, thankfully i was wrong and no time/money wasted. Most students taught philosophy will likely agree that we never directly explore the "meaning of life" question in our studies. But when you think of it, like this book says, if you don't answer this foundational question then you wont have a good enough reason to stay alive. Leading to most life problems, especially bad ones...depression, suicide etc. Its a shame that the closest that Uni gets to an answer is "meaning is what you make it".... which is no answer at all.
Not here. To begin with the free time graph was a shock! at least to me. I never had that idea enter my brain before. It got me thinking alot. If you think you have 70+ years to live or whatever, your likely wrong, i was.
Plus upfront you see a real simple comic strip series breaking down the core concepts seen through the entire book which is heaps helpful.
Grigorov begins by tackling the meaning of life head on in the first chapter. Not in some soapy imprecise way but by rebutting many objections to why even bother exploring the question straight off the bat. He then shows what criteria the book will use to provide the answer. I should say when i read this section it was really refreshing as most books even here on amazon aimed at the topic of the meaning of life or purpose of life disappointingly don't give any answer. They just summarise all the answers out there without having the guts to say "hey this one here seems best and heres why". Sam Harris in his book The Moral Landscape The Moral Landscape comes close but it from memory doesn't take it to its inevitable conclusion - i.e -to explain why should the answer (to the meaning of life) change anything in my life and what should change, and how....
Thats what happens next. The answer (which is summarised into a sentence) is broken down into its parts and Vito Grigorov shows how it applies to all the actions in your life. To be clear- i thought of it as a filter or a pair of sunglasses for viewing the world. Much like learning a new language, new words make you see things differently than before. Same happens here.
Cool parts for me were chapters 3,4,5 as history and economics were some weak points in my past. It may be just me but i learned enough to yesterday have a chat about economics for the first time with a friend who works advisor.
Nearing the end if your on board with the meaning of life as its explained there are clear solutions both for you as a reader and also policy recommendations for governments and companies on what to do next. Sprinkled through the pages are Q/A boxes which force you to question your own life which did make me think twice on a few things.
It was hard to find things to disagree with (be critical as we're taught to) for most of the chapters connect and makes sense. All is based on science or else empirical studies and methods. The falsification method to test the books premise is pretty interesting.
Maybe i haven't read widely enough but so far what i got from Origin of Why has shifted my plans for the future. Ill update if its been for the good :)

Make Viktor Frankl proud?
2017年6月9日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I'm a fan of "Man's Search for Meaning", so seeing the description talk about Frankl and others like Keller and Ferriss got me very interested. "Interesting" is the first word that comes to mind. It's written in very direct language- you get the point- at least I did and it expands from there on into other areas of life. Not too difficult, but it sure aims to explore/explain all that's out there in the world, which is what philosophy aims to do. In summary, its mind bending questions and answers are changing my thinking about what I'm doing with my time each day. I don't usually do this, but an hour ago I emailed a link of the book to some friends - I have actually never done that!
