Useful wisdom. Simple profound mental models to guide your decisions.Overwhelmed? If you feel anything less than "hell yeah!" about something, say no. We say yes too often. By saying no to almost everything, you leave space and time in your life to throw yourself completely into the few things that matter most.After Derek Sivers' "hell yeah or no" rule was adopted by podcasters, bloggers, and investors, he compiled related ideas into this useful, profound, and surprising book around the themes of what's worth doing, fixing faulty thinking, and making things happen.Examples:Be proud to be a slow thinker.Goals shape the present, not future.Assume you're below average.Life has no speed limit.What's obvious to you is amazing to others.Relax for the same result.The first 15,000 early buyers of 'Hell Yeah or No' have posted hundreds of 5-star reviews at sive.rs/n - but it is now being released to a wider audience.

Wer sich bei einer Sache nicht ganz sicher fühlt, sagt Nein. In vielen Angelegenheiten sagen wir allerdings zu oft Ja. Indem wir zu fast allem Nein sagen, schaffen wir Raum und Zeit im Leben, um uns ganz auf die wenigen Dinge zu konzentrieren, die am wichtigsten sind. Aber wie erkennen wir, was es wert ist, getan zu werden?Nachdem Derek Sivers »Ja oder Nein«-Regel von Podcastern, Bloggern und Investoren übernommen wurde, hat er erstmals seine wichtigsten Ideen in diesem tiefgründigen wie nützlichen Buch zusammengefasst: was es wert ist, getan zu werden (und was nicht), wie sich fehlerhaftes Denken korrigieren lässt und wie wir Dinge geschehen lassen. Kurz, prägnant, einfach und gleichsam tiefgreifend.Hell Yeah Or No ist ein Einblick in die geradezu geniale Gedankenwelt des Entrepreneurs, Musikers und Speakers Derek Sivers - was ihn bei seinen Entscheidungen antreibt, wie er über den "Erfolg" oder "Misserfolg" eines Projekts entscheidet und welche Lehren er aus jedem Projekt zieht, um seine bereits beeindruckenden Methoden weiter auszubauen.
