Getting More by Stuart Diamond

Getting More

How to Negotiate to Achieve Your Goals in the Real World

I like his approach with an underlying premise that people are irrational and impractical. I think his premise is quite right that especially when people get scared, angry, vengeful and fearful, it is impossible to have a rational debate with people and it has nothing to do with how hard you make an effort or how many you have objective data to try to persuade them. He proves how you can get more what you want from illogical and irrational people by showing various experiences his students have had so far.

The way this book shows is utterly different from the typical manipulative way which wins others by remarkable logic and outstanding glib. He presents the way of conversation to truly respect and understand people, so that they’d happy to help us voluntarily get what I want.

I think I like this book because this book and my view of life are on the same wave length. And yet I can see clearly a lot of mistake I’ve made that I’ve overlooked for a long time. I’m also glad that I can verify that respecting others and treating them well is the best way of getting more what I want which doesn’t only exist in the Bible but in a real world.

It is material to make a habit of offering sincere conversation, finding out others’ interest and paying attention to what’s important to others with pure curiosity about people all the time.

Problem of Pain by C.S. Lewis

Pain is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world. (Actually, I want to share every single text of this book in my blog which is impossible, so that I did my best to extract some passage to help you understand why God allow people have pain. I highly recommend you to read the whole book.) Of all evils, pain only is sterilized or disinfected evil. Intellectual evil or error may recur because the cause of the first error (such as fatigue or bad handwriting) continues to operate; but quite apart from that, error in its own right breed error – if the first step in an argument is wrong, everything that follows will be wrong. Sin may recur because the original temptation continues; but quite apart from that, sin of its very nature breeds sin by strengthening sinful habit and weakening the conscience. Now pain, like the other evils, may of course recur because the cause of the first pain (disease or an enemy) is still operative: but pain has no tendency, in its own right, to proliferate. Whe...
