從故事啟航的內在探索之旅~
★以奠基於榮格的深度心理學解析「愛麗絲夢遊仙境」、「小王子」、「黑貓」、「綠野仙蹤」等11個故事的象徵。
★釐清「童年、青少年、中年、以及老年」4大人生階段的心靈任務。


「那些我們視之為童話或兒童青少年文學的故事至少向我們提供了兩座橋樑,
一座通往我以外的他人,一座通往內心的自己。」
我們能夠很容易地從故事得到向外的啟發,
而通往內在的途徑,則能靠心理學來幫我們指認出來。

在故事之中,我們會與自己相逢,乃至與更大的整體相逢。
誠摯地邀請每個大人一起用深度及存在心理學的眼光重讀一遍書裡的故事,
在掩卷之後,走入自我的個體化旅程。

在上集 (潛意識與永恆少年),【夢與潛意識】、【永恆少年】這兩大篇章,
為我們指出「孩子如何跨越至青春期」,「青少年期的重要原型」等成長時期的重要主題。

在下集 (陰影與個體化),【陰影】、【個體化】這兩大篇章,
指出「中年危機的首要功課」,「人生下半場的最終追尋」等,
這些屬於成人的重要任務。

First Person Singular: Stories

Haruki Murakami

“Some novelists hold a mirror up to the world and some, like Haruki Murakami, use the mirror as a portal to a universe hidden beyond it.” —The Wall Street Journal

A mind-bending new collection of short stories from the internationally acclaimed Haruki Murakami.


The eight stories in this new book are all told in the first person by a classic Murakami narrator. From memories of youth, meditations on music, and an ardent love of baseball, to dreamlike scenarios and invented jazz albums, together these stories challenge the boundaries between our minds and the exterior world. Occasionally, a narrator may or may not be Murakami himself. Is it memoir or fiction? The reader decides.

Philosophical and mysterious, the stories in First Person Singular all touch beautifully on love and solitude, childhood and memory. . . all with a signature Murakami twist.

生時間 : 高績效時間管理術 (Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day)

你可曾在夜深人靜時納悶,我今天到底做了什麼?可曾夢想「有朝一日」可以著手什麼計畫、展開什麼行動──但那「有朝一日」永遠不會到來?

我們都努力為要事騰出時間。我們信心滿滿地開啟每一天──然後時間就被接連不斷的會議、沒有盡頭的email和永無休止的社群媒體動態吞沒。有時彷彿疲憊不堪和注意力不集中已成為我們的預設狀態。要是你可以跳出倉鼠輪、開始掌控你的時間和專注力,該有多好!

身為Google Ventures「設計衝刺」(design sprint)的開創者,傑克‧納普和約翰‧澤拉斯基已透過重新設計「工作週」,協助數百支團隊解決重要問題。根據從設計衝刺汲取的教訓,他們花費數年以自己的習性和慣例進行試驗,尋找將活力、注意力和時間最佳化的方式。現在,他們已將最有效的策略歸納成一個四步驟的日常架構──精華、雷射、提振活力、反省──任何人都可以用來有系統地設計自己的每一天。

「生時間」不是關於提高生產力或給更多待辦事項打勾,也不是提出像是扔掉智慧型手機或發誓戒除社群媒體等不切實際的解決方案。「生時間」提供的是一套可量身訂作、有87個迷你策略的選單,包括:

●擬辦清單
●讓自己不方便
●不要一早就上線
●把盤子中央公園化
●把自己鎖在外面
●……還有其他更多

如果你希望一天之中有更多自由時間可以運用,《生時間》是你必讀之作,它能協助你開始以真正重要的事情為中心,刻意設計你的日子。假以時日,你必能讓你的生活歸你所有。

「《生時間:高績效時間管理術》是魅力四射的宣言──也是大膽無畏、打造聰明長久習慣的DIY指南。如果你想要完成更多(而不發瘋),請讀這本書。」──查爾斯‧杜希格(Charles Duhigg),暢銷作家,著有《為什麼我們這樣生活,那樣工作?》(The Power of Habit)、《為什麼這樣工作會快、準、好》(Smarter Faster Better)

The Tyranny of Merit: What's Become of the Common Good?

The world-renowned philosopher and author of the best-selling Justice explores the central question of our time: What has become of the common good?

These are dangerous times for democracy. We live in an age of winners and losers, where the odds are stacked in favor of the already fortunate. Stalled social mobility and entrenched inequality give the lie to the American credo that "you can make it if you try". The consequence is a brew of anger and frustration that has fueled populist protest and extreme polarization and led to deep distrust of both government and our fellow citizens - leaving us morally unprepared to face the profound challenges of our time.

World-renowned philosopher Michael J. Sandel argues that to overcome the crises that are upending our world, we must rethink the attitudes toward success and failure that have accompanied globalization and rising inequality. Sandel shows the hubris a meritocracy fosters among the winners and the indignities it inflicts on those left behind. And he offers an alternative way of thinking about success - more attentive to the role of luck in human affairs, more conducive to an ethic of humility and solidarity, and more affirming of the dignity of work. The Tyranny of Merit points us toward a hopeful vision of a new politics of the common good.
