Franz Kafka, frustrated with his living quarters and day job, wrote in a letter to Felice Bauer in 1912, “time is short, my strength is limited, the office is a horror, the apartment is noisy, and if a pleasant, straightforward life is not possible then one must try to wriggle through by subtle maneuvers.”
Kafka is one of 161 inspired—and inspiring—minds, among them, novelists, poets, playwrights, painters, philosophers, scientists, and mathematicians, who describe how they subtly maneuver the many (self-inflicted) obstacles and (self-imposed) daily rituals to get done the work they love to do, whether by waking early or staying up late; whether by self-medicating with doughnuts or bathing, drinking vast quantities of coffee, or taking long daily walks. Thomas Wolfe wrote standing up in the kitchen, the top of the refrigerator as his desk, dreamily fondling his “male configurations”. . . Jean-Paul Sartre chewed on Corydrane tablets (a mix of amphetamine and aspirin), ingesting ten times the recommended dose each day . . . Descartes liked to linger in bed, his mind wandering in sleep through woods, gardens, and enchanted palaces where he experienced “every pleasure imaginable.”
Here are: Anthony Trollope, who demanded of himself that each morning he write three thousand words (250 words every fifteen minutes for three hours) before going off to his job at the postal service, which he kept for thirty-three years during the writing of more than two dozen books . . . Karl Marx . . . Woody Allen . . . Agatha Christie . . . George Balanchine, who did most of his work while ironing . . . Leo Tolstoy . . . Charles Dickens . . . Pablo Picasso . . . George Gershwin, who, said his brother Ira, worked for twelve hours a day from late morning to midnight, composing at the piano in pajamas, bathrobe, and slippers . . .
Here also are the daily rituals of Charles Darwin, Andy Warhol, John Updike, Twyla Tharp, Benjamin Franklin, William Faulkner, Jane Austen, Anne Rice, and Igor Stravinsky (he was never able to compose unless he was sure no one could hear him and, when blocked, stood on his head to “clear the brain”).
Brilliantly compiled and edited, and filled with detail and anecdote, Daily Rituals is irresistible, addictive, magically inspiring.

評分深深為自己的 fruitless 人生感到後悔
評分像海明威一樣站著工作
評分"I always thought that inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work." // "The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it’s a form of mesmerism. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind.”
評分天纔們的工作狂.
花了两天时间读完了这本书,前些日子看到很多文章发布的题目,主题大致是只有律才能成就人生。 可真的是这样吗? 看完这本书你一定会有答案。 梅森挑选了161的创作者,对于他们的日常生活进行了轻描淡写的描述,好吧,我们也能看到这真的不是一本成功的励志书,如果说你试图通...
評分我是个业余写作者,写作是我的爱好之一。每次静下心来写东西,如果能进入全身心沉浸其中的“心流”状态,就会物我两忘、浑然不觉身外之事,那种感觉畅快无比。写成了一篇文字,不管质量好坏,内心都会充盈着快乐。 但更多的时候是抓耳挠腮、绞尽脑汁,思路在某些地方被反复卡住...
評分总结来说,成就只来源于不断坚持的持续产出。至于生活习惯,并不重要。 有早晨5点起床的,有7点迎接朝阳的,有10点太阳晒屁股才起床的,有混过中午起来喝一杯的,甚至有不定时睡觉起床的。如果不知道这些人的成就,都可视为凡人。 越读越偏,每个作家我都算了一下寿命,然后看...
評分本来以为会是一本励志书籍,结果发现一个个作家不是靠喝酒就是靠吸烟吸大麻汲取创作源泉?!!臣妾做不到啊! 本来以为伟人们的生活习惯一定都特别规矩,早起早睡,结果还不是有好些人每天睡很晚一样搞创作。 好吧的确大多数人是早起创作的。。但也不是全部啊啊亲! 恩好像散步...
