廿一世紀是寫作的時代,不論是寫作文、寫情書、寫e-mail、交報告,這本書都可以幫助你。
本書作者芭芭拉.明托(Barbara Minto),為麥肯錫等世界各大顧問公司開設過寫作課程。《金字塔原理》自1973年出版以來,經過多次修訂,建立了不朽的名聲,成為顧問界乃至學術界的必讀書籍。大前研一《思考的技術》書中所提到的金字塔結構思考法,也源於此書。本書提供讀者最完整、最經典的關於思考與表達技巧的重要觀念。透過學習金字塔結構,對於提升寫作、思考、解決問題的專業能力,必將大有幫助。
本書分成四個部分:
Part1:寫作的邏輯。解釋何謂金字塔原理,同時告訴你如何利用它來建構一個基本的金字塔結構。讓你了解並能運用這個技巧到簡單的文書工作上。
Part2:思考的邏輯。告訴你如何仔細評估並組織你的想法,確保你所寫出來的文章能完全表達你的想法。這個部分提供許多例子,並且強調:強迫自己經歷這個「冷靜思考」過程,對於清楚表達你的想法來說非常重要。
Part3:解決問題的邏輯。主要針對撰寫諮詢報告的人,或是必須對複雜的問題進行分析後,提交結論給行動者的人。說明如何利用各種基礎架構,在解決問題過程中的不同階段去建構你的分析,如此一來你的觀點可以有效地預先組織好,方便組成金字塔結構。
Part4:簡報的邏輯。介紹一些技巧,幫助你在以簡報方式報告時,讀者或觀眾能清楚看到金字塔結構,並能快速理解你的想法。
運用金字塔原理還需要相當的訓練。然而,按照書中建議的方式,刻意強迫你自己先想後寫,你可以:(a)減少完稿通常需要花費的時間;(b)讓文章更清楚;(c)縮短文章的長度。在極短的時間內寫出簡潔又清楚的文章。

本書通俗地討論了一個簡單的道理,這個道理有時對我們來說顯而易見。注意這裡我說的是“有時”!有時我們認識到,只要我們積極地思考和行動,就能得到肯定的和理想的結果。如果你早已認識到這種人生態度的神奇力量,那麼你是幸運的,這本書對你來說可能就不重要了。但是,對於那些還沒有樹立積極生活觀的人來說,探索積極的生活方式,滿懷希望地生活,把握生活的細節……都意義重大。如果能從中學到這些,他們的生活就會告別沉重和平庸,從此將變得更加充實而富有意義。

人生的真諦 (Man's Search for Meaning)
維克托. E. 弗蘭克爾 (Viktor E. Frankl) 著

本書作者維克托·E·弗蘭克爾博士是奧地利著名的神經病學和精神病學教授,維也納第三心理治療學派創始人。二次世界大戰期間,他被囚禁納粹集中營整整三年,轉輾於奧斯威辛、達豪等四所集中營,是少數幸存者之一。他的父母、兄弟、妻子等全家人除了一個妹妹以外全部死於集中營。集中營的非人生活使囚犯從活生生的人成為一個個號碼,除了自身赤裸的軀殼以外,喪失了所有一切。作者就是在這種一無所有狀況下,發現人擁有選擇人生態度的自由,這是任何人都無法剝奪的。當一個人領悟到生命的意義和目的,就有意想不到的無窮無盡力量,能夠毫不畏懼地經受任何艱辛困苦。作者從親身經歷體驗,根據存在主義哲學思想,提出了意義療法,發展成為繼弗洛伊德和阿德勒之後又一心理治療學派。
本書共分三個部分。第一部分為集中營經歷自述,描述囚犯從進集中營到獲釋的各個階段心理反應。第二部分用實際病例生動地闡述了意義療法概要。第三部分為1984年再版時增加的一章補充理論性總結。在悲劇性的樂觀主義主題下,用普通語言闡明了心理學理論,深入淺出通俗易懂。全書敘述生動,寓意深刻,引人入勝,同時具有文學和哲學價值,在美國成為享有盛譽的暢銷書。

For The Love of Music: Invitations to Listening
Michael Steinberg and Larry Rothe
online access from ProQuest Ebook Central
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind
The power of music, the way it works on the mind and heart, remains an enticing mystery. Now two noted writers on classical music, Michael Steinberg and Larry Rothe, explore the allure of this melodious art--not in the clinical terms of social scientists--but through stories drawn from their own experience. In For the Love of Music, Steinberg and Rothe draw on a lifetime of listening to, living with, and writing about music, sharing the delights and revelatory encounters they have had with Mozart, Brahms, Stravinsky, and a host of other great (and almost-great) composers. At once highly personal and immediately accessible, their writings shed light on those who make music and those who listen to it--drawing readers into the beautiful and dangerous terrain that has meant so much to the authors. In recounting how they themselves came to love music, Steinberg and Rothe offer keys for listening. You will meet the man who created the sound of Hollywood's Golden Age and you will learn how composers have addressed issues as contemporary as AIDS and the terrorist attacks of September 11.
