Do what you enjoy doing, that will get you into flow. Then you no longer have to work hard because it is not work to you. When you make the final big commitment, and it is a cause good for the world, the world will come round to support you. And because you delight in the process and perhaps, not be so stuck in the search for the final outcome, your eyes maybe opened for the gold mine that are actually the side effects. And yet, to begin with, you have to learn to know yourself in order to know what gets you into flow!

What a horrible book 😅 there is not a word of sense in it.

Gratzon founded an ice cream company and a long distance company that each did millions in revenue, and he claimed to do it without working a day in his life. How did he pull this off?

By following his bliss.

Gratzon argues that life is too short to spend it working, and that if you do what you enjoy, and figure out ways to simplify, joy and success will follow.

He's provided food for thought for me, and this easy to read and enjoyable book will definitely get re-read every so often.

There's more at Gratzon's site, LazyWay.net.

This book title "The Lazy Way to Success" seems has failed its purpose to find the shortcut (or lazy way) to its main idea. There were too much rambling ideas and stories and it seems the writer just want to enunciate one method to gain success (you will find it after you read the final chapter). Although the book was a bit disappointment for myself, it found its way to correlate human behavior with the nature and science, which made me pull more of my attention to this book until the closing. The whole idea was great, but the closing itself gave drawbacks.

Chuckling with fulfilment.

That is my state of being whenever I remember this book.

This has singlehandedly put me into my highest performance in my professional life.

If they ask me "what is the best self-help book of all time?", I would answer "The Lazy Way To Success by Fred Gratzon".

Read only if you want to be a Director or above. Not suitable for middle management. ;-)

Useless information as 95% of people can’t make a sustainable living on their interests.

baguslah akhirnya dapat ilmu tentang Transendal meditiasi diperlajari dari buku. Tabahan perlu untuk penjelasan atau bab tentang transendal meditasi lebih rinci lagi dan pengaplikasiannya.

Buku ini menawarkan perspektif (yang benar-benar) baru tentang kemalasan. Berbeda dari kebanyakan buku motivasi yang (selalu terlihat) berusaha memompa adrenalin pembaca dengan quote-quote motivatif, kisah sukses, kalimat penggedor kelesuan dsb., alih-alih,buku ini justru menganjurkan pembacanya untuk mengikuti rasa malas. Ada konsep yang sering dilupakan orang, bahwasanya segala benda atau kejadian di semesta ini mengikuti kaidah 'daya usaha terkecil' (contohnya: air mengalir ke tempat yang lebih rendah, karena dengan begitu air hanya mengupayakan usaha terkecil). Fred Gratzon sedemikian rupa menuntun sudut pandang pembaca supaya memandang kemalasan sebagai sebuah konsep yang mampu mendobrak cara kuno dalam meraih(kesuksesan)apapun. Tidak lupa, ilustrator Lawrence Sheaff menambah keseruan buku motivasi ini. Ilustrasinya selalu membuat saya tersenyum dan tak ingin berhenti membaca. Kata 'malas' yang identik sebagai 'haram' di kamus para motivator, nampaknya telah menemukan definisi baru lewat buku ini.[]

BACALAH

I love the idea of doing nothing and being successful. This book is a fun how to book for people who want to do well in life without a lot of effort.

Very nice, not a ton of detail, but I enjoy quantum physics applied to anything.

Panduan malas untuk para pemalas.

[Deepak Singh Bisth · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book started out really great, it became a bit of a drag in the middle and ended disappointing me because I already knew the benefits of Meditation.

However, it is really funny and entertaining. A lot of people will love the information who do not already know about it.

Plus it has funny graphic art for art lovers.
