煤氣燈操縱 : 辨識人際中最暗黑的操控術, 走出精神控制與內疚, 重建自信與自尊 (The Gaslighting Recovery Workbook)

為什麼明明是最重要的一段關係，他卻總讓我覺得自己毫無價值？
到底是我做錯，還是被他操縱？

情緒虐待、PUA、職場霸凌、邪教洗腦……都運用了「它」！

如果你也曾被「煤氣燈操縱」，有些疑問你一定深埋心中許久，卻不一定說得出口。
本書將解開你內心長久的困惑，並告訴你抵抗這種精神操縱的最佳解決之道。

◣ 什麼是「煤氣燈操縱」？
煤氣燈操縱是一種精神虐待，藉由否定、謊言、誤導，甚至恩威並施地加以情緒剝削，使受害者懷疑自己的現實、記憶、判斷力、自我認知，在極端情況下，甚至能使他們懷疑自己的精神狀態。煤氣燈操縱的本質是操弄與控制另一個人，讓受害者以操縱者的真實、利益、判斷為優先。

◣ 「煤氣燈操縱」會發生在什麼環境與條件之下？
各種人際關係都有可能發生煤氣燈操縱，但最常發生的環境往往是：①親友關係、②親密伴侶關係、③職場關係。

◣ 「煤氣燈操縱者」具有特定人格嗎？
煤氣燈操縱雖然經常與自戀型人格疾患、邊緣型人格疾患，與反社會人格有關，但並不代表所有施虐者都有人格疾患。事實上，無論是誰，都有可能虐待他人。

◣ 為什麼「煤氣燈操縱」會發生在你身上？
在尋找受害者時，施虐者的目標人選往往有這兩種特質：「易受傷害」與「值得擁有」。但有時，你只是被有施虐傾向的人找上了，不代表你具有某種人格缺陷。

◣如何辨識煤氣燈操縱？
一個人是否受困於受剝削的操縱關係，要辨識的重點不在於對方有沒有精神病態，而是在於自己與對方是否處於「明顯失衡的權力關係」。

▶▶▶ 從煤氣燈操縱者的目的與手段來看，有五大目標方向：①讓受害者喪失判斷力；②讓受害者噤聲；③樹立自身「有資格」這樣對待受害者的權威；④貶低並懲罰受害者，讓受害者覺得自己低他一等；⑤把他們對受害者所做的行為合理化，或美化為「愛」。

▶▶▶ 若從受害者的感受來判斷，則通常會有以下特點：①你會感到內疚；②你覺得自己被當成反應過度的那個人；③你會開始覺得你的（合理）要求是造成別人的麻煩，甚至對別人不公平；④你覺得被指責和羞辱；⑤你擔心要為此事付出代價，甚至被報復。

International Best Seller

"Being You is an exhilarating book: a vast-ranging, phenomenal achievement that will undoubtedly become a seminal text." (The Guardian)

Anil Seth's quest to understand the biological basis of conscious experience is one of the most exciting contributions to 21st-century science.

What does it mean to “be you” - that is, to have a specific, conscious experience of the world around you and yourself within it? There may be no more elusive or fascinating question. Historically, humanity has considered the nature of consciousness to be a primarily spiritual or philosophical inquiry, but scientific research is now mapping out compelling biological theories and explanations for consciousness and selfhood.

Now, internationally renowned neuroscience professor, researcher, and author Anil Seth is offers a window into our consciousness in Being You: A New Science of Consciousness. Anil Seth is both a leading expert on the neuroscience of consciousness and one of most prominent spokespeople for this relatively new field of science. His radical argument is that we do not perceive the world as it objectively is, but rather that we are prediction machines, constantly inventing our world and correcting our mistakes by the microsecond, and that we can now observe the biological mechanisms in the brain that accomplish this process of consciousness.

Seth has been interviewed for documentaries aired on the BBC, Netflix, and Amazon and podcasts by Sam Harris, Russell Brand, and Chris Anderson, and his 2017 TED Talk on the topic has been viewed over 11 million times, a testament to his uncanny ability to make unimaginably complex science accessible and entertaining.

Lost Hong Kong: A History in Pictures

Peter Waller

Hong Kong is one of the world's most exciting cities and its story is one of almost constant change. From a sleepy fishing community, Hong Kong now a Special Administrative Region of China following its return from Britain to China in July 1997 has grown into one of the most significant financial and trading centres of the world.

Hong Kong Island itself has witnessed massive rebuilding over the years. The Kowloon peninsula and the New Territories have also experienced development, whilst the construction of the new airport saw the destruction of an entire island. Over the years photographers have recorded the changing face of Hong Kong its street scenes, buildings and people.

This new book, drawing upon images from a wide range of sources (most of which are previously unpublished) provides a pictorial tribute to this lost Hong Kong. Once familiar, but now long-gone, scenes are recorded offering a tantalising glimpse into an era that in chronological terms may be relatively recent, but which today seems to be a distant age, given the astonishing rapidity of change over more than 100 years.

世界上沒有兩棵相同的樹
它們的差異是在訴說更大的世界
★美國獨立出版年度大獎Foreword INDIES自然類決選入圍★

樹木渴望告訴我們許多事。
它們會告訴我們土地、水源、人類、動物、天氣和時間的故事。
它們還會告訴我們自身的生活，點點滴滴、酸甜苦辣。
樹木述說著故事，不過只有那些懂得閱讀的人才能聽到。

比如這棵「彆扭之樹」：
「河邊那棵高大的楊樹，在南側擁有更粗大的樹枝，樹枝數量也更多，整個樹冠也在好幾十年間，受到盛行的西南風形塑。但是，當我抬頭望去時，便能看見樹木正在對抗一種不是每天都會見到的風。
「這是一棵彆扭的樹，它的外觀因強大的東北風而扭曲。風向將樹冠吹往盛行風的反方向。楊樹正在低聲說著——壞天氣就要來了。
「我在打雷前先一步回到山谷，坐在一根柏樹樹樁上，並帶著感激的笑容，從衣物上拍掉刺柏的針葉。⋯⋯」

自然領航員崔斯坦．古力，
以數十年自然觀察經歷與豐富的自然知識，
帶你成為專業的樹木偵探，
展開一場樹木與自然生態間的解謎遊戲。
