如果能將工作成效提升5倍、創造力提升6倍， 你想迎接什麼不可能的挑戰？ ✷✷✷✷✷✷✷✷✷✷ 透過本書提供的工具和方法， 每個人都能達成「不可能」。 ◆本書簡介◆ 如何才能完成你心目中不可能的任務？ 要怎樣才能打破我們的限制、超越我們的期望，並將我們最大的夢想變成我們最近的成就？ 作者認為，成就「不可能」有公式可循。 當我們看見不可能化為可能時，我們見證到的是4種技能交織而成的成果：動機、學習、創造力和心流，能夠熟練地運用，並經過顯著地增強。 透過大量的案例與生理學的解釋，作者解析出上述4種技能和大腦之間交互運作的關係。我們會看到這些能力是如何影響大腦和身體，運用這些知識加強心流，可讓自己在通往不可能的道路上加速前進。 ◆本書特色◆ 刻意練習真的有用嗎？ 許多人相信，想要成為某個領域的頂尖者，10,000個小時的「刻意練習」是必要的。但真的是如此嗎？許多極限運動者的案例顯示並非如此。為何有人可以在5天內學習13項困難的技能？其中是什麼祕訣有助於達成不可能的成就？ 破解創造力！ 如何讓生物機制幫助我們，而不是拖累我們？作者提出了7 種練習方式。他也告訴我們，大腦的3大網絡如何聯手產生創造力，以及它們如何以不尋常的方式合力運作，使心流發生。 奇妙的心流！ 心流就是大腦創造力的超速運轉，它能模仿4歲孩童的發明創造力，卻不會有4歲大腦的缺點。要在生命中真正地培養心流，就要把心流觸發因子納入生命中的每個面向。 不可能的成就其實就是一張檢查清單。 如果你完成了今日明確目標清單上的所有任務，這代表你又離崇高、困難目標更進1步，代表著你肩負著任務，而內在驅力正在發揮功效。持續繼續堆疊小小的勝利，其中有些勝利能產生心流，就可以增加你的衝勁，持續往前進。 ★專家推薦★ 看到書名「不可能的任務」，不曉得你會不會想：你又沒想要成為極限運動員、或是創辦跨國大企業、或者是像電影情節一樣出生入死，那這本書對你會有幫助嗎？ 答案是：很有幫助！而且在我身上，這些方法一而再，再而三的有用！讓我實現了許多原本認為「不可能」的目標，完成過去「想不到」的任務！ ——王永福《線上教學的技術》作者 原來長期穩定的進入心流狀態將引導人們在各領域超越巔峰。至於如何進入心流狀態，如何維繫心流狀態於不墜，甚至如何從普通的心流變成強大的心流，他也一一細數。 能自由進入宏心流狀態者得天下，是我為本書下的註腳。 ——楊斯棓《人生路引》作者 ★各界好評★ 史蒂芬．柯特勒不但是暢銷書作者，同時也是顛峰表現的專家，他的這本書為大家解開在運動、藝術、科學、企管……等各界精英表現者的祕密。這改變了我們對於不可能的定義，告訴我們如何探求原以為無法企及的界線，使不可能的夢想成為可能。 ——《紐約時報》 史蒂芬．柯特勒在書中精彩地說明了許多對顛峰表現者而言很直觀卻無法解釋的事實：達成不可能是有公式可循的。柯特勒解開這個謎團、破解公式，並告訴讀者可以使用哪些工具去達到夢想，不論是多遠大的夢想。 ——衝浪高手，萊爾德．漢密爾頓 (Laird Hamilton)
Speculative Everything
How to use design as a tool to create not only things but ideas, to speculate about possible futures. Today designers often focus on making technology easy to use, sexy, and consumable. In Speculative Everything, Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby propose a kind of design that is used as a tool to create not only things but ideas. For them, design is a means of speculating about how things could be—to imagine possible futures. This is not the usual sort of predicting or forecasting, spotting trends and extrapolating; these kinds of predictions have been proven wrong, again and again. Instead, Dunne and Raby pose “what if” questions that are intended to open debate and discussion about the kind of future people want (and do not want). Speculative Everything offers a tour through an emerging cultural landscape of design ideas, ideals, and approaches. Dunne and Raby cite examples from their own design and teaching and from other projects from fine art, design, architecture, cinema, and photography. They also draw on futurology, political theory, the philosophy of technology, and literary fiction. They show us, for example, ideas for a solar kitchen restaurant; a flypaper robotic clock; a menstruation machine; a cloud-seeding truck; a phantom-limb sensation recorder; and devices for food foraging that use the tools of synthetic biology. Dunne and Raby contend that if we speculate more—about everything—reality will become more malleable. The ideas freed by speculative design increase the odds of achieving desirable futures.
