本集主題：「拖延有理：從達爾文、達文西的拖拉歷史，看見被低估的人生智慧」新書介紹 專訪企劃： 沈嘉悅 內容簡介： ★達爾文發現「物競天擇」理論二十年後，《物種起源》才得以出版，因為達爾文深怕得罪了基督徒父親以及創造天地萬物的上帝。 ★達文西的第二幅「岩窟聖母」畫像，在教會委託的二十五年之後才完成，並掛上祭壇。其實第一幅只遲了二年，但達文西賣給了出更高價的人，以示對教會的抗議。 ★法蘭克‧萊特接下富豪委託的設計案。九個月之後，萊特在兩小時內火速繪出「落水山莊」設計圖，迎接突然來訪的雇主。 我們可以在「拖延」和「才智」之間，找到連結嗎？ 拖延行為可以引領我們走向創新嗎？ 在分秒必爭、時間就是金錢的普世價值裡，「拖延」似是懶散見不得光的行為。本書作者安德魯‧桑提拉一開始就表明自己是「拖延主義」的信奉者，總是花盡心思去做無關緊要的事，眼看著截止日期即將來臨，卻放任自己的恐懼加深，仍然無所作為。 為了探索自己的拖延行為無獨有偶，桑提拉開始進行研究，並從歷史名人中找例證，如：達爾文、達文西、雨果、詩人泰德休斯、美國國父富蘭克林、建築師萊特……，把他們在面對重大事件時，花招百出的拖延理由，以及分析拖延、擊敗拖延的方法，以流暢的文筆，描述成一篇篇如喜劇般的故事。之後再透過心理學家、哲學家和行為經濟學家的文獻，解釋為何普羅大眾如你我，何以會拖延重要的事情，卻不需要有太大的罪惡感。信手拈來盡是博學的知識、妙趣橫生的軼聞和真實故事，文字淺白，娛樂性十足。 ★拖延不是病，是人性 ▶ 「拖拉的人通常很聰明，畢竟他們得隨時找到讓人信服的理由，來把事情拖個沒完沒了。」 ▶ 「拖拉者，寧願讓人以為他們缺乏的是努力，而不是能力。」 ▶ 「拖延造成失敗，也為失敗找到了藉口。」 ▶ 「拖延，是因為擔心聽到他人的評價。」 ▶ 「拖延，是因為害怕達不到對自己高期許的完美主義。」 ▶ 「事情延宕下來，是因為對於被交付的工作規模和數量，給嚇得不知所措。」 ▶ 「或許是因為拖到最後一刻，腎上腺素狂飆的刺激，吸引了我。」 ★拖延是種「抗議」，也是種「掌控」 只有在以「選擇」為最高價值的世界裡，才有拖延和耽擱這回事。 作者簡介：安德魯‧桑提拉（Andrew Santella） 作品散見於《GQ》雜誌、《紐約時報書評》和《石板》線上雜誌。住在紐約布魯克林區，此刻或許又找出什麼鬼理由，拖延重要的正事不做了。

Having heard the diverse stories from our season one guests, I've reflected on curiosity, mental health, and serendipity. However, in this final reflection, I want to focus on something that weaves through all three previous musings. Time; its value, it's scarcity and power. We recently interviewed Carmen D'Alessio, Impresario behind Studio 54 and one of our first guests in Season 2. In the interview she references a great quote on time; The past is history, the future is a mystery, today is a gift, and that's why we call it the present. The concept that time is a precious gift was possibly best expressed bythe 17th Century Preacher, Jonathan Edwards, as he laid our reasons why. Time is precious in proportion to its importance or the degree it affects our welfare. Time is short and limited. We have no insight into its continuance or how long we haveAnd when it is past, it can not be recovered. Although serendipity has impacted the different journeys of all our guests, it's their value of time and the patterns that emerge around how they've used time that defines them. Psychologist Philip Zimbardo set out the optimal perspective on time - called the Optimal Temporal Mix that combines a positive view of the past with a life goal-orientated view of the future with a joyful view of the present. But critically it's the mental flexibility to shift between perspectives that lead to success. I witnessed this with Ryder Carroll and the focused intentionality of his Bullet Journal method, with and Andrew Santella during his interview on procrastination and in Shantell Martin through her enlightened and powerful insights into what is being human actually is, on her journey through time. So if there is one thing I'd urge all listeners to take from season one. It's to avoid squandering, undervaluing, or giving away our gift of time. As the Preacher said, once that moment is past it's never coming back. Every moment matters. All of us, regardless of age, education or experience have an innate and bountiful supply of creativity and imagination, and in every moment, with intentionality, we have an opportunity to mine it, nurture it and apply it to craft the future we desire. Whatever age you are, think about the aggregated moments of time you have on this blue planet we call Earth. Our time is precious, we can't earn more, we can't buy more, we can certainly save it, avoid wasting it but day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment we are spending it. Reflecting on our guests' impact has made me question my application of time. The past is the past, but it's made me more focused on becoming more intentional with how I spend my time in the future. It's why I am so concerned by how our time is increasingly controlled by technology that commands our attention in a manner that not only dilutes our intentionality but threatens to destroy our identities and societies. Whether we value it or not, our time has immense value, to what the center for humane technology call, the extractive attention economy, which mines our time and attention through well-designed mechanisms of mass distraction. To a greater or lesser degree, as we surrender our time without heed, to the digital addiction apps, we struggle to separate fact from fiction, fall victim to political manipulation and ideological polarization and increasingly suffer from social superficiality of shallow media that impacts the mental health of ourselves and our children. Instead of being distracted by the superficial commercial or transient content that bombards us, It is time for us to re-evaluate the preciousness of moments and the power we have to craft the future we...

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Today our guest is Andrew Santella, author of Soon: An Overdue History of Procrastination, from Leonardo and Darwin to You and Me, published by Del Rey books just last month. Andrew has written for GQ, the NYT Book Review, Slate and Atlantic. He probably could have written more. Soon is a book that will resonate with the vast majority of us. Because most of us are procrastinators. I know Andrew is one because he tells us and because he even postponed this interview and I know I am one because I am reading the last page of his book as I give this introduction. The question is why do we not do what we should be doing and do something else instead or just lay in bed. For instance, while getting ready for this interview, I took off some time to read my email, look at my desk calendar and doodle in the margins, get up to get a sparkling water and rearrange my library. I even checked my bank balance and my Vanguard account, much to my dismay. (I wish I hadn’t). I then ordered new checks. Well Andrew brings us a lot of information and more than a little bit of solace regarding our tendency to put off that which should be done. We get lumped in with such great procrastinators like Charles Darwin, Leonardo Da Vinci Frank Lloyd Wright. Many of these guys and women have done great things while they put off that which they had intended to do. We learn about St. Expedite and his shrine in New Orleans, a shine that we have to wait for since it took so long for Mr. Santella to get there. Even St. Augustine gets into the act.
