Pick Three

You Can Have It All (Just Not Every Day)

De: Randi Zuckerberg

Narrado por: Randi Zuckerberg

In this motivational handbook - both a business how-to and self-help guide - the New York Times best-selling author of Dot Complicated takes on the fallacy of the "well-balanced" life, arguing that the key to success is learning to be well-lopsided.

Work. Sleep. Fitness. Family. Friends. Pick Three.

In an increasingly demanding world, we've been told that we can do everything - maintain friendships, devote ourselves to work, spend time with family, stay fit, and get enough sleep. We just need to learn to balance it all. Randi Zuckerberg doesn't believe in being well-balanced. We can't do it all every day, she contends, and trying to do so only leaves us frustrated and feeling inadequate. But we can succeed if we Pick Three.

Randi first introduced the concept of Pick Three in a tweet - "The Entrepreneur's Dilemma" - that went viral. Now, in this book, she expands on her philosophy and inspires others to follow her lead. From entrepreneurs to professionals, busy parents to students, Randi can help everyone learn to reject the unrealistic burden of balance and enjoy success in their own lives - by picking the most important areas to focus on in any given day.

This practical handbook includes stories from Randi's career learning that there's no such thing as a perfect balance - as well as insights and examples from other professionals at the top of the biggest businesses in Silicon Valley, new moms searching for permission to focus on family, and recent graduates convinced they should have it all under control, including Arianna Huffington, Reshma Saujani, Laurie Hernandez, and Brad Takei. We can't have it all every day, and that's okay, Randi reminds us. Pick Three is her much-needed guide to learning to embrace the well-lopsided life.

Helpful book!

Good to know that it's ok to pick certain things over others to be your best in what you're doing.

Perfectly unbalanced

I tried to listen to this almost a year ago and couldn't get through the first 30 minutes, fast forward to now and I couldn't put it down. it's just timing as to when you truly are ready to dove into this book. it's wonderful once you do.

Day to Day

As a photographer, this is a Great way to use these techniques day to day

A desperate and miserable attempt

I have been waiting and waiting for this book to add value but off she goes with generic stories with little to no value.

Information provided in this book isn't actionable. At times, it seemed that she wrote the book with the aim of seeking approval for her workaholic life and the readers are the antidote to her guilt conscious.

Not for me

I just felt like the entire point of this book was summed up in parts one and three. Part 2 just DRAGGED.

Bragging Too much

Oh my parents paid for education.. oh I went to Harvard ...oh my parents gave me money to start investing... oh I’m such a religious person...stop!!!! What all that has to do with time management beats me.. book is a joke. Returning!
