The Not-To-Do List

The Surprisingly Simple Art of Success

Rolf Dobelli , Trans. Isabel Adey
Drift through the day, cling to your bad habits, live in the past, catastrophize – Rolf Dobelli argues that by seeing the world from a negative perspective we are better equipped to understand the positive actions needed to build a better life, and follows each of his 52 pieces of bad advice with an explanation of how and why they should be overcome. Slightly off-mint.

PERFECT FOR FANS OF Mel Robbins' THE LET THEM THEORY and THE COURAGE TO BE DISLIKED

The new book from the multi-million-copy bestselling author of The Art of Thinking Clearly

Have you ever:
Got stuck in your career?
Said 'yes, sure' when you should have said 'sorry, no'?
Tried to change someone?
Listened to your inner voice?

These are all examples of habits, decisions and behaviours that will derail your efforts to build a life of success - of better decisions, career and relationships; of happier and healthier living.

In his new international bestseller, Rolf Dobelli reveals 52 of life's biggest mistakes, and shows why the key to living well is so much simpler than you might think. Just understand what the pitfalls are... then avoid them.
