Based on his TEDx talk "Everyday Leadership (the Lollipop Moment)"--voted one of the 15 most inspirational TED talks of all time--This Is Day One is leadership expert Drew Dudley's guide to cultivating the behaviors that will help you to succeed and empower those around you.

If you're intimidated by the mystique surrounding leadership, this book is for you. Dudley simplifies leadership without denying its complexity, demonstrating that leadership in all its forms begins at the same clear and accessible place for everyone: what he calls "Day One."

Day One is when you discover, define, and start to consistently deliver on your foundational leadership values. Living that day over and over is what creates leaders, and Dudley provides the key tools necessary to craft and commit to your own personal Day One, including:

• A step-by-step process designed to surface your core leadership values and embed them into your daily behavior
• A roadmap to behavioral changes proven to increase commitment, pride, productivity, and happiness
• Insights into key leadership values that drive performance and impact

Sharing the process that led him through battles with alcohol, obesity, and personal tragedy, Dudley shows you how to develop a relentless commitment to the daily behaviors that will make you a better executive, coach, or teacher, and how you can inspire others to do the same.

《橡皮擦計畫》是麥可‧路易士備受好評的作品，講述這兩位重要心理學家之間，如何長期緊密合作、探究人類心智秘密的故事。

這兩位科學史上最偉大的夥伴，有人形容他們是心理學界的「約翰‧藍儂與保羅‧麥卡尼」。兩人雖然合作無間，但卻擁有鮮明的人格特質──特沃斯基（Amos Tversky）絕頂聰明、極度自負，生性好鬥，個性外向，無論走到哪裡，必定是所有人注目的焦點；康納曼（Daniel Kahneman）小時候為了逃離納粹而成了難民，個性內向，習慣自我懷疑。如此之天差地遠，為這個故事增添趣味，也帶來淚水......

2017誠品書店銷售總冠軍；

明明是最愛的家人、伴侶，與信任的朋友、同事，
但為什麼我們卻總是感到委屈、想逃？

你未曾覺察的「情緒勒索」，正在你的日常裡，一步步逼你就範。
眼淚與憤怒，往往就是一種情緒勒索！
6道關鍵練習，擺脫被情緒勒索，重新掌握人生！

情緒勒索是一種操控，只會讓彼此的關係崩壞。
因為當對方一再屈服與退讓，那是因為懼怕，而不是因為親密、信任與愛。

‧媽媽：「我把這輩子希望都放你身上。你怎麼忍心讓我失望？」
‧婆婆：「你把孩子給保母帶。你真自私，你會毀了孩子的一生。」
‧女友：「如果你敢回公司加班，我們就分手。」
‧上司：「我看你資質不錯，才想讓你多做一點事，栽培你。別忘了，你試用期還沒過。」

以上這些例子，你是否非常熟悉？這些我們習以為常、不以為意的對話，其實就是緩緩掐住我們脖子，讓我們無法呼吸的「情緒勒索」......

周慕姿心理師以精準且層次分明的角度，剖析情緒勒索的面貌，以及何種人最容易陷入情緒勒索的困境，並且針對華人文化，提出提升「自我價值感」為避免情緒勒索的最主要關鍵。此外，適時建立情緒界限，搭配練習，重新掌握自己的人生，因為，這是你的人生，你不該為滿足別人的需求而活。

The Lean Startup : How Today's Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically Successful Businesses

Most startups fail. But many of those failures are preventable. The Lean Startup is a new approach being adopted across the globe, changing the way companies are built and new products are launched.

Eric Ries defines a startup as an organization dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty. This is just as true for one person in a garage or a group of seasoned professionals in a Fortune 500 boardroom. What they have in common is a mission to penetrate that fog of uncertainty to discover a successful path to a sustainable business.

The Lean Startup approach fosters companies that are both more capital efficient and that leverage human creativity more effectively. Inspired by lessons from lean manufacturing, it relies on “validated learning,” rapid scientific experimentation, as well as a number of counter-intuitive practices that shorten product development cycles, measure actual progress without resorting to vanity metrics, and learn what customers really want. It enables a company to shift directions with agility, altering plans inch by inch, minute by minute.

Rather than wasting time creating elaborate business plans, The Lean Startup offers entrepreneurs - in companies of all sizes - a way to test their vision continuously, to adapt and adjust before it’s too late. Ries provides a scientific approach to creating and managing successful startups in a age when companies need to innovate more than ever.

謝幕 : 中區警署建築群

建於十九世紀的中區警署、中央裁判司署、域多利監獄組成了香港的「執法鐵三角」，隨着香港城市發展和人口膨脹，其他地區新的設施取代了這組中區警署群。中區警署群於一九九五年列為法定古蹟，未來將受保護地翻新為一文化商業綜合場所。本攝影集的照片轉眼之間已成為消失的場景，再不可尋。

本攝影集是著名攝影師梁家泰二零零六年在中區警署群停用後，深入、走遍每一個角落，全面地拍攝了整群建築的裏裏外外，並盡可能地訪問了曾在那裏工作過的警員和懲教署人員，甚至釋囚，這是香港難得一見的集體回憶。攝影集追尋的不只是史實和年份，而是在那裏工作、生活或者被囚禁時的感覺。

"These are not boring black-and-white photographs with no people in them but images that are subtly evocative of former denizens and their stories." ― May Holdsworth, Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society Hong Kong
