Robert Rowland Smith Bücher

Dass Philosophie äußerst vergnüglich ist, das hat Precht ja hinreichend bewiesen. Dass die Mutter aller Wissenschaften auch alltagstauglich ist, das zeigt nun der smarte Philosoph Robert Rowland Smith und unterzieht die Konzepte großer Denker dem Alltagstest. Beim Aufwachen fragt Sie René Descartes: Sind Sie sicher, dass Sie wach sind? Im Fitness-Studio will Max Weber wissen: Ist Ihr Work-Out gesund oder nicht doch eitler Narzissmus? Und vor dem Einschlafen muss Sigmund Freud noch rasch seine Theorie vom Träumen loswerden. Lassen Sie sich überraschen, was Kant und seine Kollegen nicht alles über unser Leben wissen. Genießen Sie fabelhafte 24 Stunden: Mit diesem Buch wird Ihr Alltag nie mehr alltäglich sein.

How is it that the most carefully-laid business strategies can go horribly wrong when put into practice? Robert Rowland Smith's answer, based on years of experience in high-level consultancy, is that 'reality eats strategy for breakfast': strategy, based on projections and assuming business is a rational pursuit, can't deal with the messy reality of life. More helpful are these practical questions that can help you plan what to do when your business comes into contact with reality. From learning the lessons of the past (rather than fixating on the future) to finding out what your business is really about, he explains the real-life factors that lead to success or failure. Including many new examples from the front line, from all around the world, The Reality Test will help you establish yourself as more effective and distinctive than your competitors, who follow the same rigid theoretical avenues.Whether you ask 'Are you making enough of your weaknesses?' or 'Are you 100% productive 100% of the time?', it's time to stop living in strategy La-La Land and face reality.

The narrative takes readers on an engaging exploration of life's significant milestones, such as birth, learning to drive, and marriage, infused with thoughtful philosophical insights. Smith combines humor and intellect, creating a lively reflection on these universal experiences that resonate with readers.
