……翻開《水樣的春愁──名家筆下的愛情世界》，我們立刻又進入了另一方男女情愛的多彩天地，心弦感到微微的顫抖戰慄，撥動它的是愛的憧憬，愛的歡樂，愛的悲傷，和愛的痛苦。對於愛情，古今中外的哲人有過許多精癖的論述：愛使人成為人；愛是通向真理之路；愛讓心靈擁抱世界……。總之，兩性間的情愛，是一種極其高尚美好的情感，它能使人在塵世望見天堂。深諳愛的滋味的作家們，用一支支飛揚靈動的筆，給予人心中這一方聖域的千種風光以充分的展示描繪，或宛曲逶迤，脈脈不盡，或激情澎湃，熾烈炙人。愛情有多少種面貌，筆下就有多少樣色彩。這裡既有敏感孤獨的少年對愛情最初的向往，朦朧迷茫，哀愁淡淡，如夢如烟 (郁達夫《水樣的春愁》)。又有大半生恩愛與共的夫妻，憶昔歲月蹉跎多，惟有數十載風雨同舟，甘苦共嘗，才使得這份鉛華洗淨的愛情，具有了即使地老天荒不會湮滅的堅定與深摰 (黃宗英《快樂的阿丹》)。作為一名極富才情個性的詩人，徐志摩以其“濃得化不開”的詩風揚名天下。他的寫情散文也同樣飽蘸激情，讀他寫給陸小曼的情書《愛眉小札》，分明能感受到一顆渴盼愛情的靈魂的急切的悸動。而一旦相愛多年的伴侶撤手人寰，孤雁單飛，千種掛念，萬般思量，都來心上，那種落寞哀傷，即便是淡淡寫出，也實在是令讀者為之黯然的，巴金的《再憶蕭珊》，孫犁的《亡人軼事》，便都是這類以平實之辭寫沉痛之情的佳作。

The Good Among the Great: 19 Traits of the Most Admirable, Creative and Joyous People offers an in-depth look at the qualities that make a few high achievers also good people. Using lively stories drawn from his more than 25 years interviewing prominent leaders for CNN, CNBC, and other television news programs, author Donald Van de Mark illustrates the 19 personality traits of self-actualized people, as originally identified by psychologist Abraham Maslow.

Van de Mark shows how the traits are exhibited by wonderful, successful people in all walks of life, spanning the famous (Meryl Streep, Charles Schwab, and Andrew Weil) to the great but not well known (Poosie Orr, mother and housewife; Rachel Walton, pediatric hospice nurse; and Andrew Ferguson, teacher).

Practical, common-sense guidelines and Takeaways after every chapter show readers how they can identify and nurture the traits in themselves and others, creating the shortest route possible to personal and professional achievement and fulfillment.
