Following the success of Lean In and Why Women Should Rule the World, the authors of the bestselling Womenomics provide an informative and practical guide to understanding the importance of confidence—and learning how to achieve it—for women of all ages and at all stages of their career.

Combining cutting-edge research in genetics, gender, behavior, and cognition—with examples from their own lives and those of other successful women in politics, media, and business—Kay and Shipman go beyond admonishing women to "lean in". Instead, they offer the inspiration and practical advice women need to close the gap and achieve the careers they want and deserve.

　　你可能不知道，你限制了自己。
　　如果你毫無畏懼，你會怎麼做？

　　你是不是也曾質疑自己的能力、壓抑自己的表現，
　　在該積極進取時反而退縮？
　　你是否也因要兼顧工作與家庭感到分身乏術？

　　生涯，從來不是只有上下的單向道階梯！
　　這本書將幫助你，
　　看到壓抑自己的盲點、突破限縮自己的內心障礙，
　　讓你自信表現，挺身而進！

桑德伯格是臉書營運長，自2007年起連續6年獲選為《財星》雜誌50大最有權力的商業女性，並榮登2012年及2013年《時代》雜誌全球百大影響力人物。2010年12月，她在TEDTalks發表激勵人心的演說，談到很多女性在無意間縮限了自己的工作生涯。她鼓勵女性「往桌前坐」、接受挑戰、積極追求各種目標。這場精彩演講掀起了一股風潮，至今累積330萬次的點閱。

桑德伯格從她自己二十年工作經歷，問了一個最關鍵的問題：為什麼到了今天，位居高階領導位置的女性，還是如此稀少？在已開發國家中，包括台灣在內，女性大學畢業生早已超過50％，在競爭最激烈的法學院的比例也超過男性，但女性在全球議會、企業高層、董事席次所佔的比例都不到20％，除了一些社會制度因素、女性生育的生理條件之外，女性是不是自己限制了自己？

在本書中，桑德伯格延續她在TEDTalks掀起的話題，首度完整公開從成長背景、哈佛求學經驗、世界銀行助理、麥肯錫顧問、美國財政部幕僚長、谷歌副總裁到臉書營運長，一路觀察、體驗到的職場問題，並點出關鍵應對心態，同時旁徵博引扎實的研究資料，釐清職場女性在生活與各種選擇中所面臨的層層迷霧和偏誤。桑德伯格詳述個人的選擇與錯誤，大方分享她為自己、事業及家人做抉擇所面對的日常交戰、掙扎。此外，她也針對談判技巧、尋找人生導師，以及如何打造令人滿意的工作生涯等議題提出實用的建議。桑德伯格鼓勵女性設下界線，別再相信「兼顧一切」的迷思。對於女性如何結合事業成就與自我實現，桑德伯格提供了具體的建議，並證明男性如果支持女性同事和伴侶，也能跟著受惠。

Accidental Genius: Using Writing to Generate Your Best Ideas, Insight, and Content

When it comes to creating ideas, we hold ourselves back. That’s because inside each of us is an internal editor whose job is to forever polish our thoughts, so we sound smart and in control, and so that we fit into society. But what happens when we encounter problems where such conventional thinking fails us? How to get unstuck?

For Mark Levy, the answer is freewriting, a technique he’s used for years to solve all types of business problems, and generate ideas for books, articles and blog posts.

Freewriting is deceptively simple: Start writing as fast as you can, for as long as you can, about a subject you care deeply about, while ignoring the standard rules of grammar and spelling. Your internal editor won’t be able to keep up with your output, and will be temporarily shunted into the background. You’ll now be able to think more honestly and resourcefully than before, and will generate breakthrough ideas and solutions that you couldn’t have created any other way.

Levy shares six freewriting secrets designed to knock out your editor and let your genius run free. He also includes fifteen problem-solving and creativity-stimulating principles you can use if you need more firepower—seven of which are new to this edition—and stories of problems he and others have solved through freewriting.

邏輯思考法圖解 : 思考, 書寫, 談話有邏輯的 35 條致勝準則

西村克己 作; 柳俊帆 譯

本書網羅了大部份的邏輯思考方式及方法，可說是「思考聖經」。而書中所謂的邏輯思考，就是依事物道理思考。一般人或許以為理工出身的數理高手，就很擅長邏輯思考，但他們不能算是真的懂邏輯。他們或許很擅長狹義範圍的邏輯思考（垂直思考），但遇上廣義範圍、講究整體性的水平思考就不見得了。

在本書中，除了邏輯的思考方式及方法之外，還解說了應用在「思考」、「寫」、「說」上的方法。只要學會了如何邏輯思考，即使是在職場以外，日常生活中的任何場合都必定能派上用場。
