In an atmosphere in the publishing market that encourages readers to strive for success, “[Don’t Do List: The Least Inspiring Philosophy Book in History] (https://goo.gl/OEuOyp)” seems to be a less “politically correct” book. But I like this translation book very much, because in this era, it is actually more important to know how to prioritize and make a “don’t need to do” list than to write down a long and smelly to-do list.

Regarding success, the important thing is not the result, but the process is the truly meaningful part.

Of course it’s right to work hard, and it’s important to pursue perfection, but we don’t have to tighten our nerves all the time and pretend to be “knocking on ourselves”. As the author of “Don’t Do List: The Least Inspiring Philosophy Book in History” said, try to throw away the secular concepts! There is no need to be kidnapped by everyone’s eyes, put aside those unnecessary to-do lists, and face your life with the most comfortable attitude.

They all say “life is short”, which reminds me of numerology expert [Vivian](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%96%87%E8%96%87%E5%AE%89_\(%E8%87%BA%E 7%81%A3))died of illness, I feel that life is impermanent, and I am also a little shocked and reluctant to give up. Not only is she still very young, but she is also an alumnus of Cuigu; it is also surprising that she, who is familiar with fortune telling, cannot escape the fetters of fate. We can know from media reports that she has been busy working and making money in the past few years and only sleeps three hours a day. She is really tired. What’s the point of leaving so much real estate behind?

The emergence of this book allows us to think from a different perspective: How much positive power do we need in life? Too many people tell themselves to make progress and succeed every day… However, are these really useful? Can’t we live by our own values?

I believe that as long as you continue to do what you like, one day you will be connected to a business model that suits you.

After reading this book, I decided to start making my own “not to do list”. Of course, I also cherish those projects that are still on my to-do list more, because life is short, and we really need to cherish all the people and things that are worthy of our pursuit, and enjoy the fun brought by the process.
