‧你以為，知道哪些事情有意義，就夠了；你以為，把現在該做的事做完，將來總有時間實踐理想。本書作者說，未必。假如不更換思惟，不採取另一種行動方式，你會繼續做著自己覺得沒意思、但以為非做不可的事；你會繼續困在現在的工作和生活模式裡，懷疑人生有沒有意義。
‧本書作者是資深的管理顧問專家，他認為當今的文化太過注重實用和效率，使得我們根本不知道自己在乎哪些東西。他鼓勵讀者往內心挖掘，問自己：什麼是我人生裡最重要的東西？然後對著這些重要的事物說「Yes」，採取行動，付諸實踐。
‧書分四篇，第一篇談的是如何問出正確的問題。遇到變化，不要馬上問「怎麼做」，因為這種問題不會帶來深刻的思考，也因為這是一種防衛姿態。
第二篇說明，理想主義、親密關係、思想深度，這三項特質可以帶領我們改變心態，準備行動。而它們也是在實踐要務過程中必然會出現的難題、練習與養分。
第三篇探討今日的文化是多麼注重工具性，進而討論如何有所為有所不為。並把對「我」很重要的事，提高為對「我們」很重要的事。
第四篇解釋四種工作原型。「工程師」和「經濟學家」代表社會文化的主流心態；「藝術家」在職場越來越少見；而「社會建築師」是前面三種角色的綜合。作者期許人人能以建築師的角色自居，與其他人一起建構世界，實踐人生要務。

ALL THAT IS SOLID MELTS INTO AIR (BERMAN )
The new approach to change management that is presented here will completely flummox control freaks. Block posits a refreshing series of truths that, if adopted, will transform workplaces into journeys of meaning. The best-selling author of
Flawless Consulting (1981) and
Stewardship (1993) insists that we ask the wrong question about accomplishing the important things in our lives, particularly in our place of employment. We too often ask "How?" which focuses too closely on the practical way of getting something done and is actually a subconscious expression of society's emphasis on control of people, time, and cost. Instead, our concentration should be focused on "Why?" In other words, we need to pay attention to what really matters to us personally, from heart-felt commitments in our private lives to the creation of projects in the workplace. To be able to act on what matters, explains Block, we must reclaim specific qualities, such as intimacy and idealism. Then we can tackle purposeful work as if we were social architects seeking engagement and change. Provocative and stimulating reading.

Product Description
People keep asking "How?" as a defense against living their life, says best-selling author Peter Block. In this witty, insightful award-winning book, Block shows that many standard solutions and improvement efforts, reinforced by most of the literature, keep people paralyzed. Here he places the "how to" craze in perspective and teaches individuals, workers, and managers ways to act on what they know. This in turn allows them to reclaim their freedom and capacity to create the kind of world they want to live in. Block's "elements of choice" - the characteristic of a new workplace and a new world based on more positive values - include self-mentoring, investing in relationships, accepting the unpredictability of life, and realizing that the individual prospers only when the community does.
