情態副詞

They get more informed, but their life stays exactly the same.

他們獲得更多資訊，但生活卻一成不變。

But a few books make you dangerously smart.

但有幾本書會讓你聰明到有點危險。

They rewire your brain and change how you think, how you decide,

它們會重塑你的大腦，改變你的思考方式、你的決定方式，

以及你看到別人看不到事物的角度。

I've been a CEO and board advisor to billion-dollar companies,

我曾擔任數十億美元公司的執行長和董事會顧問，

and I've distilled hundreds of titles down to four that function as a toolkit for a self-taught genius.

我從數百本書中精選出四本，它們就像是自學天才的工具箱。

But first, something more valuable than the list itself: a framework for finding the books that actually rewire you.

但首先，有個比書單本身更有價值的東西：一個找到真正能重塑你的書的框架。

Every book is an investment of time and attention.

每一本書都是時間和注意力的投資。

Most of them entertain you, some inform you, but a very few change you.

大多數書能娛樂你，有些能提供資訊，但極少數能改變你。

Before you commit to a book, ask three questions.

在你決定閱讀一本書之前，先問三個問題。

Will this book change how you think, or just change what you think?

這本書是會改變你的思考方式，還是隻改變你思考的內容？

If a book can install new mental moves, new ways to see, to reason, to decide, then it'll make you a better operator.

如果一本書能植入新的心理招式、新的看待、推理、決定的方式，那它就會讓你成為一個更好的操作者。

Because it will bring the kind of system upgrade that we're talking about here.

因為它會帶來我們在這裡談論的那種系統升級。

You know, the best books don't confirm what you know.

你知道嗎，最棒的書不會跟你確認你已經知道的。

They dismantle everything you're certain about, page by page, permanently.

它們會逐頁地、永久地拆解你所有確定的事。

If you finish a book and you feel validated, you've learned nothing new.

如果你讀完一本書，感覺被肯定，那你什麼新東西都沒學到。

I always ask myself, will this book stop me from doing dumb things with confidence?

我總是問自己，這本書會不會讓我自信地做出蠢事？

它會不會阻止我犯下昂貴的錯誤？

Great books hand you tools that stop you from confusing confidence from competence.

很棒的書會給你工具，讓你不會把自信跟能力搞混。

If a book passes any of these three gates, it will upgrade your inner operating system.

如果一本書通過了這三個關卡中的任何一個，它就會升級你的內在作業系統。

Now, of course, I love books like Grid, or Atomic Habits, or So Good They Can't Ignore You.

當然，我超愛《Grid》、《原子習慣》或《So Good They Can't Ignore You》這類書。

They're brilliant for building tactics and changing your daily behavior.

它們對於建立策略和改變日常行為非常棒。

We want to go beyond just behavioral shifts.

我們想要的不只是行為上的轉變。

We want to upgrade and scale our entire way of thinking.

我們想要升級並擴展我們整個思考模式。

大多數的書只會改變你的速度。

It forced me to ask a terrifying question: Are my heroes visionaries, or just lottery winners?

它迫使我問了一個令人害怕的問題：我的英雄是個有遠見的人，還是隻是個幸運兒？

Naseem Taleb talks about it in our first book, Fooled by Randomness.

Nassim Taleb 在我們第一本書《隨機的騙局》裡有提到。

He shows why randomness manufactures geniuses, and it changes the way we think about outcomes.

他說明瞭隨機如何製造出天才，並改變我們對結果的看法。

Imagine you invite 10,000 traders from Wall Street to a stadium once a year.

想像一下，你每年邀請一萬名華爾街的交易員到體育館。

They flip a coin, heads, they double their money.

他們擲硬幣，正面就翻倍他們的錢。

After one year, half of them will go home, 5,000 will come back.

一年後，一半的人會回家，五千人會回來。

If you keep doing this for five years, then five years later, 312 of those traders will be left in the stadium.

如果你這樣做五年，五年後，這三一二名交易員就會留在體育館裡。

Now, these 312 people will be on the cover of Forbes.

現在，這三一二人就會出現在富比士雜誌的封面上。

They'll write books, they'll sell you systems, they'll start a YouTube channel.

他們會寫書，賣你係統，開 YouTube 頻道。

他們是被這個系統「製造」出來的。

這就是為什麼塔雷伯的觀點令人不寒而慄。

You cannot distinguish a master from a lucky idiot simply by looking at their track record.

你無法單憑看他們的紀錄，就分辨出高手和幸運的笨蛋。

At the AI company where I was CEO, we were one of the fastest-growing firms in the U.S.

在我曾擔任執行長的 AI 公司裡，我們是美國成長最快的公司之一。

I was surrounded by some of the smartest minds, exceptional talent.

我身邊都是一些最聰明、最有才華的人。

But we also got a once-in-a-decade tailwind we didn't control.

但我們也遇上了十年難得一見、我們無法控制的順風。

The internet was overwhelmed at that moment with the cyber threat of fake transactions and bots that acted like humans.

當時網際網路充斥著假交易和像人類一樣運作的機器人所帶來的網路威脅。

It had become an existential crisis for the internet.

這對網際網路來說，已經變成了一個生存危機。

So we were the right company at the right time.

所以我們是恰好在對的時間點，對的公司。

But without that existential threat, without that tailwind, all of my visionary strategies would have been a forgotten footnote somewhere.

但如果沒有那種生存危機，沒有那股順風，我所有有遠見的策略，都只會變成歷史上被遺忘的一小段註記。

Because we often confuse a tailwind with our own talent.

因為我們常常把順風誤認為是自己的才華。

Stop trying to be a better forecaster of your future.

Start trying to be less fragile, more resilient to randomness.

開始試著讓自己變得不那麼脆弱，更能應對隨機發生的事情。

Now, what if you've read this book already?

那如果你已經讀過這本書了呢？

Then the graduate-level upgrade would be a book from a Nobel Prize winner, Daniel Kahneman, Thinking Fast and Slow.

那進階一點的，就是諾貝爾獎得主 Daniel Kahneman 的《快思慢想》。

Kahneman shows you exactly what's happening in your brain when you are being fooled by randomness.

Kahneman 在書裡清楚地告訴我們，當我們被隨機事件愚弄時，大腦裡到底發生了什麼事。

His book shows the exact wiring: System 1, that makes you jump to conclusions immediately, and

他的書精確地呈現了這個架構：系統一，會讓你立刻下結論；

System 2, which helps us avoid those mistakes.

系統二，則能幫助我們避免這些錯誤。

要怎麼把這些東西付諸實踐呢？

Every Friday, audit your wins into two columns.

每週五，把你的勝利成果抽成兩欄。

If column B is empty, then your ego is doing all the driving,

如果 B 欄是空的，那就代表你的自負在操控一切，

Find the people who made your exact bet and didn't make it.

找出那些跟你做了一樣投資、但沒有成功的人。

Because if your plan only works in the calm seas, it's not a plan.

因為如果你的計畫只在風平浪靜時才有效，那它就不是計畫。

Book number two is about the biggest mistakes successful people make.

第二本書探討成功人士會犯的最大錯誤。

When you win, you stop searching, and you somehow start defending what you already know.

當你成功時，你會停止尋找，然後不知不覺開始捍衛你已知的一切。

Adam Grant calls this out in his book, Think Again.

Adam Grant 在他的書《Think Again》中點出了這一點。

The smarter you are, the harder it is to change your mind.

There was a study done on tax professionals.

有一個針對稅務專業人士的研究。

Researchers gave complex tax code and problems to both junior students and seasoned CPAs.

研究人員讓初級學生和經驗豐富的註冊會計師（CPA）處理複雜的稅法和問題。

When the rules changed just a little, the experts failed three times more often than the students.

當規則稍微改變時，專家們失敗的次數是學生的三倍。
