真的相信眼睛所看到的一切嗎？
事實是最不容易產生爭議的客觀存在嗎？
或許，我們對事實的瞭解，還不夠全面。
或許，我們是被表象或經驗欺騙、迷惑，導致看不透事情的本質。

唯有透過「底層邏輯+環境變數」，
才能讓你在千變萬化的世界中，認清所有真相！

當一個人持有的不是觀點而是立場時，你應該做的事情，是對他說「It’s good for you」（這對你有益）。
反過來，我們也要時刻反省自己：我說的話、我的表述，是事實，是觀點，是立場，還是信仰？

請運用以下幾點：
一.拋棄經驗，不要輕易下結論，懷著空杯心態去看問題。
二.運用「假設—驗證—結論—調整」，大膽假設，小心求證，得出結論，做出調整。
三.不要被利益、立場左右，就事論事。

能做到以上三點，再複雜、繁瑣的事，你也能抽絲剝繭、洞察本質。

為什麼我們要懂「底層邏輯」？

如果你是學生，透過底層邏輯能學會：思考問題的邏輯
˙懂得辯證真理
˙獲取解決問題的方法
˙洞察事情的本質

如果你是職場新鮮人，透過底層邏輯能學會：個人進化的方法
˙做好時間管理
˙讓事情產生最大效益，創造十倍價值
˙培養良好人脈

如果你是創業者或企業管理者，透過底層邏輯能學會：公司營運的順暢
˙獲取正確的戰略
˙掌控利潤
˙留住優秀員工

Hidden Japan : An Astonishing World of Thatched Villages, Ancient Shrines and Primeval Forests

"A sharp-tongued spokesman for Japan's environment and traditions" --The New York Times

In Alex Kerr's critically acclaimed Lost Japan and Dogs and Demons, he documented the decline of the traditional landscapes of Japan, his adopted home of many years. Here, in Hidden Japan he makes a journey of rediscovery to find the wonders that still remain.

Originally published in Japanese as a call to preserve disappearing facets of Japan's rich and ancient culture, Hidden Japan records Kerr's travels to various remote and lesser-known places where pockets of traditional culture can still be found. Some are faraway--like Aogashima Island, 200 miles south of Tokyo--while others are easy to reach, such as Mii-dera temple just east of Kyoto.

Kerr's sharp eye for detail and exquisite descriptions of Japanese, arts, architecture and foods will inspire readers who already appreciate his unique look at the "reality" of Japan beyond the romance. His personal involvement and obvious love for his subjects encourage us all to think more carefully about our own traditions and environment, and to challenge ourselves to search for better solutions to preserve what is of value all around us.

Reveals how we can tap the intelligence that exists beyond our brains—in our bodies, our surroundings, and our relationships

Use your head.

That’s what we tell ourselves when facing a tricky problem or a difficult project. But a growing body of research indicates that we’ve got it exactly backwards. What we need to do, says acclaimed science writer Annie Murphy Paul, is think outside the brain. A host of “extra-neural” resources—the feelings and movements of our bodies, the physical spaces in which we learn and work, and the minds of those around us— can help us focus more intently, comprehend more deeply, and create more imaginatively.

The Extended Mind outlines the research behind this exciting new vision of human ability, exploring the findings of neuroscientists, cognitive scientists, psychologists, and examining the practices of educators, managers, and leaders who are already reaping the benefits of thinking outside the brain. She excavates the untold history of how artists, scientists, and authors—from Jackson Pollock to Jonas Salk to Robert Caro—have used mental extensions to solve problems, make discoveries, and create new works. In the tradition of Howard Gardner’s Frames of Mind or Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence, The Extended Mind offers a dramatic new view of how our minds work, full of practical advice on how we can all think better.
