The Bullet Journal Method is about much more than organizing your notes and to-do lists. It's about what Carroll calls "intentional living": weeding out distractions and focusing your time and energy in pursuit of what's truly meaningful, in both your work and your personal life. It's about spending more time with what you care about, by working on fewer things. His new book shows you how to...

* Track the past: Using nothing more than a pen and paper, create a clear and comprehensive record of your thoughts.

* Order the present: Find daily calm by tackling your to-do list in a more mindful, systematic, and productive way.

* Design the future: Transform your vague curiosities into meaningful goals, and then break those goals into manageable action steps that lead to big change.

Carroll wrote this book for frustrated list-makers, overwhelmed multitaskers, and creatives who need some structure. Whether you've used a Bullet Journal for years or have never seen one before, The Bullet Journal Method will help you go from passenger to pilot of your own life.

「這本書具有魔力，遠勝近期所有討論時間的出版品。」──德國《焦點》雜誌
時間是什麼？從哪裡來、又要流向何方？
德國當代哲學大師邀你走入這場如詩如畫的時光之旅，一探最難解的永恆之謎

★《明鏡週刊》、《法蘭克福匯報》、《時代週報》等眾家媒體評論一致盛讚

★耿一偉︱臺北藝術大學戲劇系兼任助理教授 專文導讀

「時間究竟是什麼？沒有人問我，我倒清楚，有人問我，我想說明，便茫然不解了。」──奧古斯丁，《懺悔錄》
為什麼無聊的時候，總是度秒如年，快樂的時候，時間卻又倏忽即逝？
時鐘的刻度呈現的只是客觀的時間衡量標準，
是其中發生的事件改變了我們對時間的主觀感受，
而時間的社會化與金錢化，更讓我們的世界彷彿不斷加速快轉。

德國當代哲學大師薩弗蘭斯基帶領我們走進時間的迷宮，
巧妙交織哲學、文學、歷史、藝術、科學和個人省思，以生命的各個切面來了解時間，
從無聊、憂慮的時間，一直到社會化、世界、宇宙的時間，
探索時間到底對我們做了什麼，而我們又用時間創造出什麼。
人類縱然無法左右時間的流向，卻能與時間玩場遊戲，
用創作的靈光來留住永恆的瞬間。

The Implications of Brexit for East Asia

This book is the first comprehensive exploration of the impact Brexit might have on both Britain’s and the EU’s role in a rising East Asia. From the internationalization of the renminbi to Hong Kong's fraught political status quo, and from former British colonies exploring their place in the world to America's place in East Asia in the Trump era, the EU plays an influential role in Asia today. However, much of this derives from Britain’s role and interests, even as Asian models were explicitly cited as models for post-Brexit Britain, particularly the Singaporean model. This book will be of value to scholars, policymakers, and journalists seeking to understand what role the EU and Britain will play in the Asian century.

請帶我穿越這片海洋 : 記敘利亞、伊拉克、阿富汗、北非難民, 以及跨地中海的悲劇航程

他們為什麼不留下來，為自己的國家奮戰到底？
為什麼那些難民父母自己不工作，卻讓小孩負責打工賺錢養家？
明明是難民，竟然人手一支手機，也有辦法付給人蛇好幾萬美元？
橫越地中海的那些「死亡之船」上，究竟都發生了什麼事？

自2011年爆發內戰以來，敘利亞人民平均壽命整整降低了20年，760萬人流離失所，400萬人逃出敘利亞、成了你我口中的「難民」。

從兩伊戰爭到最近的內戰，伊拉克有4％的人口「被消滅了」；2014年初，約250萬伊拉克人在ISIS的武裝攻擊下逃離家園……

這波「第二次世界大戰以來最大的難民潮」，已經成了一齣日常的悲劇，淹沒在每分每秒攫取我們注意力的大小即時事件中。但如果他們不再只是一個數字，如果你可以聽見他們的故事，你會知道他們和我們沒什麼不同......
