全新收錄：成功投資人的三大特質《華爾街日報》、亞馬遜書店暢銷書現代社會最重要、卻被嚴重被低估的技能世界上有賺很多錢卻破產的人，也有賺很少錢卻有辦法捐大錢做慈善的人。為什麼？因為理財結果與運氣和風險有關，而且不受才智與個人努力影響，更重要的是，與其了解許多理財專業知識，適當的言行舉止更加關鍵。這就是致富心態，這是現今社會不可或缺的軟實力。《華爾街日報》知名專欄作家摩根‧豪瑟發覺，我們是用理解知識的方式在思考、學習金錢觀，而不是用理解心智與行為模式的方式在學習投資與理財。不過，我們的理財行為卻深受各種情緒的影響。每個人看待世界運作的方式各不相同，所以看待金錢運作的觀點天差地別，結果是有人成為富翁，有人卻窮困潦倒。在《致富心態》中，摩根‧豪瑟分享許多短篇的理財故事，探討人們思考金錢的方式，並傳授致富的技巧，你會學到：‧巴菲特成為億萬富翁的真正理由‧致富與守財是兩種不同的技巧，但都非常重要。‧有許多事情不管潛在獲利有多龐大，都不值得冒險。‧了解長尾效應與複利效果的本質與威力。‧掌控你的時間，就是金錢付給你最高的紅利。‧預留安全邊際的重要性。‧財富自由真正的本質。看穿投資與理財的本質，改進理財的缺陷、偏見與不良行為人人都能邁向財務自由的人生國內外理財專家好評推薦：科克蘭資本董事長 楊應超暢銷財經作家 安納金暢銷財經作家 綠角價值投資者／財經作家 雷浩斯知名作家 吳淡如橡樹資本創辦人 霍華‧馬克斯《原子習慣》作者 詹姆斯‧克利爾《未來在等待的人才》作者 丹尼爾‧品克《高勝算決策》作者 安妮‧杜克這本書可以讓你對金錢的看法有新的角度及啟發，很推薦讀者多次閱讀。建議大家養成對錢正確的態度，要不然有再多的錢也是沒有意義的。相信我，只要你的態度對了，錢就自然可以很容易賺進來。――科克蘭資本董事長　楊應超《致富心態》以嶄新觀點，描述投資人應該知曉的重要財務觀念，是本值得一看的好書。――暢銷財經作家 綠角豪瑟的寫作風格令人喜愛，其對故事的描述生動而流暢，又能夠有效的大量引用相關數據以及重量級人士對話，使得其論述具有極佳的說服力；此外，他能夠直指要害同時又不失幽默感的筆觸，也讓此書增添了不少閱讀上的趣味！――暢銷財經作家 安納金豪瑟的觀察往往有一舉兩得的效果：它們都是第一次呈現世人眼前，而且鞭辟入裡。――橡樹資本創辦人 霍華‧馬克斯（Howard Marks）每個人都該人手一冊。――《原子習

杜拉克被譽為有史以來最偉大的管理學思想家，以他撰寫的39 本書聞名於世。2005 年，他與世長辭。那些有幸聆聽過他演講和講課的人們，得以看見他的另一面。杜拉克的演講內容廣泛，或許是其涵蓋的時間範圍，證明了杜拉克悠長而特別多產的一生。本書以每十年做區分，收錄彼得˙杜拉克生前發表的33篇演講的講稿，編者在每一部的開頭提供簡短的評論，讓讀者能對杜拉克思想體系的演進有所了解。這是一本哆啦A 夢式的杜拉克講稿集！哆啦A夢所構築的文創王國，「時光機」應該是跨世代讀者都不陌生的一集，時光機也是我們作為一個人在修復過往悔恨與連結未來期待的重要工具。本書集結了管理宗師彼得．杜拉克一甲子大跨距的時光書寫，以每十年作為一個單元，集結了33 篇講稿譯文而成的專書，有別杜拉克其他以主題式呈現的管理專書。許多杜拉克的思想脈絡，對於杜拉克的忠實讀者而言都不陌生，但從編年史的視角呈現，令讀者讀來別有一番滋味。本書具有三個特徵：（一）時間的穿透力請讀者不要按著順序閱讀，要根據主題閱讀杜拉克在不同時代的思想進化，從中揣摩這位一代宗師如何與時俱進的在同一個主題上優化。提綱挈領地進行系統思考會影響所有工作的效能，閱讀杜拉克的文章就具有這種建立思想框架的收穫。（二）知識的生產力杜拉克說：「管理的精髓是提升知識的生產力。」本書中有兩部論及知識相關的內容，這也是杜拉克留給當代最重要的啟示！（三）社會的影響力杜拉克從不自稱「管理大師」，他最喜愛的稱謂是「社會生態學家」，兼顧社會性與永續性的老人家思想歷久彌新，他的管理哲學沒有營利與非營利的差別。杜拉克說人們難以預測未來，只有開創它。這是穿越各年代智慧層所開發的智慧。本書亦收錄有關教育、健保、政府、非營利組織、世界經濟與全球化的講稿內容，都值得讀者搭乘時光機，穿梭在各時代承載杜拉克思想的文字！
