不是只有天才才能想出有創意的好點子,只要做你自己就可以了!這本書要告訴你:創意無所不在,人人都可以玩創意......
2011年,作者受邀到紐約一所藝術學院演講,跟年輕學子分享身為藝術家的人生經驗,演講的內容就是他希望有人能在他年輕時告訴他的事。結果那場演講大為轟動,網路上瘋狂轉貼演講影片,點閱人數突破百萬,許多年輕人紛紛留言告訴他,聽了這場演講讓他們更了解如何從事創意工作。於是,這場演講啟發了作者寫下這本書,結果發現這些道理不只適用於想從事藝術創意工作的人,而是所有的人。
《點子都是偷來的》提出10個能改變一生的原則,幫助讀者發掘自己的藝術天份,讓生活更有創意。

2. 不要等到了解自己才開始
3. 寫你想讀的書
4. 雙手萬能
5. 空閒計畫和嗜好很重要
6. 絕招:做好東西就要與人分享
7. 網路無國界,距離帶來靈感
8. 要做好人(世界很小)
9. 要耐無聊(只有這樣才能把事情做好)
10. 創意是一種減法

帶著幽默和洞察力,魯賓循序記錄了這十二個月的生活歷險,親身嘗試種種年老的智慧、現今科學的研究,以及大眾文化中有關如何更快樂的各種課程。從希臘哲人伊比鳩魯到自然散文家梭羅,到電視主持人歐普拉到心理學家塞利格曼,還有達賴喇嘛;看哪些建議是真正管用的。
她的結論往往出人意表──她發現金錢的確能買到快樂,只要花得明智;她發現如果你認為自己是快樂的,你就能快樂;她發現挑戰是快樂的活力泉源;她發現「正確的吵架」甚至比不吵架好;她發現失敗中也藏有樂趣;還發現當我們有所成長時,就會快樂。
更棒的是,她發現快樂的神奇魔力是:即使遇上糟糕的一天,那也是「好的」糟糕一天……
本書特色
★ 作者法學院畢業的背景,讓這場快樂實驗,交織理性思維的辯證與柔軟感性的生活想像。
★ 找回快樂,不需要改變人生。不是人人都具有冒險家精神,作者也是,她所提倡的快樂實驗,是實踐在生活中的各處小地方,微小的變化就能帶來巨大的影響。
★ 作者同時在部落格上經營她的快樂提案,書中收錄作者與眾多網友互相激勵、成長的精彩互動。
★ 每個人的快樂提案肯定都是獨一無二的,但是啟發快樂的點子無所不在,誰能保證這本書不會是讓你開啟快樂的關鍵呢。

獨特的城市,孕育獨特的作家和作品;金庸在香港寫小說,我們也就不能忽視這個城市的社會和歷史背景,對他有何影響。
金庸生於內地,移居香港,他在小說中展現了什麼樣的中國文化,並隱藏了對中國和港英殖民統治,以至香港人身分的複雜態度?
本書收錄的文章,跳出刀光劍影的緊湊情節,嘗試發掘小說中隱含的社會課題,包括身分認同、民族大義、兩性關係、父權主義崩潰等等。
