I ne pytaites'! - Slingerlend E.

Edward Slingerland tells what threatens modern man that way to achieve the goal, which is considered universally recognized - through hard grueling work. At the same time, most of the great achievements, scientific discoveries and creative breakthroughs happened spontaneously, as if by themselves, easily and at ease. In ancient China, a state in which a person seemingly does nothing, solves the most difficult tasks and achieves all the goals, was called "u-way." Slingerland explains how this effect can be achieved in modern life.
Artist Pablo Picasso and director Woody Allen, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche and musician Elton John, writer Jack Kerouac and thinker Confucius. And then there's Blessed Augustine and George Lucas, Sigmund Freud and Buddha Shakyamuni, Plato and Steve Jobs, Michelangelo Buonarotti and the Beatles. Slingerland, on the example of completely different people, their stories and concepts proves that in order to achieve the goal, you need to... not to achieve the goal.
