邁爾斯―布里格斯人格類型指標（MBTI）主要關注四個領域：
(1）心理能力的走向：你是「外向」﹙E﹚還是「內向」﹙I﹚？
(2）認識外在世界的方法：你是「實感」﹙S）還是「直覺」﹙N）？
(3）倚賴什麼方式做決定：「思考」﹙T﹚還是「情感」﹙F﹚？
(4）生活方式與處世態度：你是「決斷」﹙J）還是「感知」﹙P）？

由這四大問題得出的配搭，可歸結為16種人格類型：
(1）ESTJ大男人型　（2）ESTP挑戰型　（3）ESFJ主人型　（4）ESFP表演型
(5）ENTJ將軍型　（6）ENTP發明家　（7）ENFJ 教育家　（8）ENFP記者型
(9）ISTJ公務型 　（10）ISTP冒險家　（11）ISFJ照顧型　（12）ISFP藝術家
(13）INTJ 專家型　（14）INTP學者型　（15）INFJ作家型　（16）INFP哲學家

這個受到榮格啟發而發明出來的人格測驗，現在不只大眾經常用來探索自己的個性，教育界、人力招聘與培訓等專業領域亦經常運用。MBTI的分類法不僅是這個領域的始祖，還啟發了後續許許多多人格測驗，以及媒體刊載的形形色色心理遊戲。但是，發明它的其實不是專業心理學家，而是一對「素人」母女。

凱薩琳．布里格斯與女兒伊莎貝爾．布里格斯．邁爾斯都是認真的家庭主婦、小說作者兼業餘心理分析師。一九二○年代，她們設計這份測驗的目的，是為了把榮格的學說介紹給大眾。這份測驗後來快速發展，在二十世紀中葉風行全美，從煙霧瀰漫的紐約會議室到加州柏克萊，都有它的蹤跡。二十世紀眾多知名企業中創造力強大的腦袋，都接受過MBTI測驗，以釐清發展適性。後來，MBTI測驗走出美國，進一步擴散至倫敦、蘇黎世、開普敦、墨爾本、東京與台灣。最後，就連小學、修道院、療養渡假村，以及黑暗的政治顧問公司與社交網絡上，都能輕鬆找到MBTI測驗的影響。時至今日，它已是全球最受歡迎的人格測驗。

MBTI測驗廣為流傳後，甚至成為每年獲利高達二十億美元的產業。然而，此領域專家們至今仍無法證明，這項測驗結果是否可靠………。本書作者安姆瑞以原創報導及從未公開過的文件為基礎，檢視這樣擁有文化代表性的人格類型，引導讀者省思「自我」的定義。很多人堅信人格類型能夠理解我們是誰：我們為何選擇現在的工作、為什麼愛我們愛的那些人、為什麼會做出明顯矛盾的各種行為。本書試圖找出這種堅定不移的信念從何而來，探討兩位發明者又是如何為人格類型成為大眾文化現象鋪路，以及這現象背後蘊含的深意。

Scarcity Brain: Fix Your Craving Mindset and Rewire Your Habits to Thrive with Enough

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The author of The Comfort Crisis asks: Are we hardwired to crave more? From food and stuff to information and influence, why can’t we ever get enough?

“Reveals the biological and evolutionary foundations behind your brain’s fixations, so you can stop seeking and start living.”—Melissa Urban, Whole30 CEO and author of The Book of Boundaries

“Michael Easter’s genius is that he puts data around the edges of what we intuitively believe. His work has inspired many to change their lives for the better.”—Dr. Peter Attia, author of Outlive

Have you ever found yourself wondering “Why do I want more than I have?” Michael Easter, author of The Comfort Crisis and one of the world’s leading experts on behavior change, shows that the problem isn’t you. The problem is your scarcity mindset, left over from our ancient ancestors. They had to constantly seek and consume to survive because vital survival tools like food, material goods, information, and power were scarce and hard to find.

But with our modern ability to easily fulfill our ancient desire for more, our hardwired “scarcity brain” is now backfiring. And new technology and institutions—from dating and entertainment apps to our food and economic systems—are exploiting our scarcity brain. They’re bombarding us with subversive “scarcity cues,” subtle triggers that lead us into low-reward cravings that hurt us in the long run. Scarcity cues can be direct and all-encompassing, like a sagging economy. Or they can be subtle and slight, like our neighbor buying a shiny new car.

Easter traveled the world to consult with remarkable innovators and leading scientists who are finding surprising solutions for our scarcity brain. He discovered simple tactics that can move us towards an abundance mindset, cement healthy habits, and allow us to live our lives to the fullest and appreciate what we have, including how to:

Detect hidden scarcity cues to stop cravings before they start, from a brilliant slot machine designer in a Las Vegas casino laboratory

• Turn alone time into the ultimate happiness hack, from artisanal coffee-making Benedictine monks
• Reignite your exploration gene for a more exciting and fulfilling life, from an astronaut onboard the International Space Station
• Reframe how we think about and fix addiction and bad habits, from Iraq’s chief psychiatrist
• Recognize when you have enough, from a woman who left a million-dollar career path to adventure the world

Our world is overloaded with everything we’re built to crave. The fix for scarcity brain isn’t to blindly aim for less. It’s to understand why we crave more in the first place, shake our worst habits, and use what we already have better. Then we can experience life in a new way—a more satisfying way.

The Optimist : Sam Altman, OpenAI, and the Race to Invent the Future

Keach Hagey

From an acclaimed Wall Street Journal reporter comes the first biography of the enigmatic leader of the AI revolution, charting his ascent within the tech world as well as his ambitions for this powerful new technology.

In The Optimist, the Wall Street Journal reporter Keach Hagey presents the most detailed account yet of Altman’s rise, from his precocious childhood in St. Louis to his first, failed startup experience; his time as legendary entrepreneur Paul Graham’s protégé and successor as head of Y Combinator, the start-up accelerator where Altman became the premier power broker in Silicon Valley; the founding of OpenAI and his recruitment of a small yet superior team; and his struggle to keep his company at the cutting edge while fending off determined rivals, including Elon Musk, a former friend and now Altman’s bitter opponent.

Hagey conducted more than 250 interviews, with Altman’s family, friends, teachers, mentors, co-founders, colleagues, investors, and portfolio companies, in addition to spending hours with Altman himself. The person who emerges in her portrait is a brilliant dealmaker with a love of risk, who believes in technological progress with an almost religious conviction―yet who sometimes moves too fast for the people around him. With both the promise and peril of AI increasing by the day, Hagey delivers a nuanced, balanced, revelatory account of the individual who is leading us into what he himself has called “the intelligence age.”

Altman is a figure out of Isaac Asimov or Neal Stephenson. Or he is the author himself: if it feels as though we have all collectively stepped into a science fiction short story, it is Altman who is writing it.

屍骨辯證 : 法醫人類學家的生死沉思

李衍蒨

人的死亡可以有五花八門的原因，世上亦不一定有因果循環這回事，善良的人也可能無辜慘死。在法醫人類學來說，無論逝者是誰或是被誰滅聲，我們都會落力為他尋回身份，細心聆聽那埋葬在六呎以下的聲音。不論歷史背景、政治、宗教，一個人的死，總會為世界帶來一點有關人性的啟示。

法醫人類學家的其一工作就是令死者家屬清楚了解至親死前的一刻是怎樣的，縱然死者的人生沒辦法倒帶重來，但當中的答案可以為家屬帶來重新振作的力量。發掘真相是相當困難的事，因為真相與事實不一定相等，而法醫或法律的程序都沒有需要特別去了解犯案者的故事及背後緣起，因此，法庭上的判決，無論是有罪或無罪，也不代表真相的全部。我們能推敲事情的始末，回答你悲劇是如何發生，卻往往不能告訴你為甚麼會造成這悲劇。

要透徹了解一宗案件，就必須要理解「人」。我們與其他人之間，我們與善惡的距離，其實比你我想像中還要近。

作者說：「本書名義上是《骨子裏的話》的修訂版，但意義上是我審視自己的一個過程。修訂版中增添了黑暗的故事及內容的同時，也帶來災害後人們互相為大家增添希望及溫度之舉。」

希望讀者可以從這本書看到現實的殘酷、人類文明的有趣、歷史的啟示，以及最重要的——光與希望。
