《智者的洞察:心理學經典名言的智慧》的立意為心理學經典名言的智慧,但並不局限於選取心理學家的格言,而是以心理學家為主,廣泛摘取社會學家、文學家、哲學家、成功人士以及社會影響深遠的言論,從各個角度帶給讀者關於生活、健康、友誼、個性、求知、愛情、青春、事業等多緯度的閱讀享受。願此書能伴隨讀者諸君,常讀常新,撫慰疲憊的心靈,拭去心靈的塵埃。

這世界上,最難的理解,恐怕還不是外向的,而是內向的;也就是說,最困難的,不是人與人之間的理解,而是人對自己的理解——不斷地去觸摸重重表象下的心理暗流,這個過程是困難的、充滿了危險的,但也是引人入勝、饒有趣味而叫人欲罷不能的。

從心理學視角理解名人格言,會促使你去發現自身的特質,更加了解自己的氣質、性格、人格,了解自己的性格或某一方面的特質是從什麼時候、在什麼樣的環境下逐漸形成的,有哪些因素對它的形成和發展產生了影響,它現在對自己的人格、行為舉止以及所從事的事情都有哪些影響;有哪些特點可以發揚,哪些弊端需要改進,需要怎樣改進,改進的策略是哪些。

臺灣當代旅行文選

旅行寫作創造了旅行的記憶、或甚旅行的意義,但旅行寫作絕不只是旅行行為的副作用產品而已。這本文選所收錄的作品自有其美學素質,十八位作家各自呈現其別緻風貌……讀者閱讀的美感經驗將使這些旅行寫作成為永久的珍藏。

「旅行文學」的定義是什麼?我們是否已經建構對「旅行文學」的認知?「旅行文學」是否可以無限上綱,涵蓋各種書寫?──觀光、出走、考古、田野調查、自傳、回憶錄、返鄉、流放、流浪、流離與移居遷徙、親身的實証經驗與憑空的想像遨遊?對於定義、認知、結構、主題與文類等種種問題,我們則談得太少又太淺。旅行寫作創造了旅行的記憶、或甚旅行的意義,但旅行寫作絕不只是旅行行為所成就的一項副作用產品而已。

關於旅行與旅行文學,我們似乎談得太多又太少。
