À propos de cet audio
#1 WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER • Discover practical steps you can take today to live a life focused on things that matter, from the bestselling author of The More of Less and The Minimalist Home.
“Things That Matter points the way to free ourselves from the distractions of everyday life so that we can build the lives we seek to create.”—Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project
Everywhere around you are distractions: That text you respond to quickly, just to get it out of the way. The newest money-making side hustle to cross your mind. The evening spent organizing your overflowing kitchen cupboards.
Disruptions are the enemies of a life well lived—both the new distractions of our generation and timeless ones that have existed for centuries. They all add up to make you feel restless, tired, and unfulfilled. They’re keeping you from living with joy, from accomplishing the good that only you can do.
But that can change today.
In Things That Matter, Joshua Becker uses practical exercises, questions, insights from a nationwide survey, and success stories to give you the motivation you need to:
- Identify the pursuits that matter most to you
- Align your dreams with your daily priorities
- Recognize how money and possessions keep you from happiness
- Become aware of how others’ opinions of you influence your choices
- Embrace what you’re truly passionate about instead of planning that next escape
- Figure out what to do with all those emails, notifications, and pings
- Let go of past mistakes and debilitating habits
Things That Matter is a book about living well. It’s about overcoming the chatter of a world focused on all the wrong things. It’s about rethinking the common assumptions of today to find satisfaction and fulfillment tomorrow.
How do we get to the end of our lives with minimal regrets? We set aside lesser pursuits to seek lasting meaning. And we discover the joy of doing it every day.

Histoire
For years Ryder Carroll tried countless organizing systems, online and off, but none of them fit the way his mind worked. Out of sheer necessity, he developed a method called the Bullet Journal that helped him become consistently focused and effective. Then it went viral. To his astonishment, Bullet Journaling is now a global movement. The Bullet Journal Method is about much more than organizing your notes and to-do lists. It's about what Carroll calls "intentional living": weeding out distractions and focusing your time and energy in pursuit of what's truly meaningful.

Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money - the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction - at work, at school, and at home - is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.

In business, the right behaviors matter. But getting it right is tricky. Even when we acknowledge the need to change what we do and how we do it, life has a habit of getting in the way, upsetting even the best-laid plans. And just how do we manage those situations that can provoke even the most rational among us into behaving in ways we would rather forget?

The human body was honed under unique conditions that no longer exist. The modern world has changed dramatically since our days as hunter gatherers, and it has caused widespread anxiety, stress, and disease, leaving our brains in disrepair. But science proves that the body and brain can be healed with the intervention of lifestyle protocols that help us to regain our cognitive birthright. In the Genius Life, Lugavere expands the Genius Foods plan, which focused on nutrition and how it affects brain health, and expands it to encompass a full lifestyle protocol.

Depression and anxiety disorders are rising, affecting more than 58 million people in the United States alone. Many rely on therapy and medications to alleviate symptoms, but often this is not enough. Now, we know there has been a missing factor. With the latest scientific advances in neuroscience, nutrition, and the mind-gut connection, we have discovered that how and what we eat greatly affects how we feel, physically, cognitively, and emotionally.

Laser focused advice
Man does this book make you think. The last couple chapters had me scribbling notes and really digging deep. So much more work to do to figure out my purpose, but I know what questions to ask myself now, and I can work to push aside the distractions to make time for new, more important pursuits. Thank you, Joshua!

Very important things to be thinking through
My husband and I really enjoyed listening to this book it is very thought provoking. I appreciate books that cause some self reflection and that is what this book did for us. I find in life we often need to be reminded about important things may times simply because as humans we do easily get distracted or are forgetful. I would recommend this book to others. Use it as a way of reflecting on your own life. You don't have to agree with every single thing an author says to take something valuable from it.

Mixed feelings
A lot of what he says ties to be minimalist or Christian. Just because you're not doing good deeds for free for others doesn't mean your life is not meaningful. what about just living a good positive life. I will take good things from this book and use them thanks btw.

Unoriginal
I feel this book shares no original ideas, but instead is a man that repeats the common life lessons/mottos we all have heard seen many times before. I get the sense he carriers a saviour complex which is likely causing harm he does not see. Overall do not recommend
