Sometimes it only takes a stranger in a dark place... to say we have the right to be here, to make us warm in the coldest season. In 2019, Neil Gaiman asked his Twitter followers: What reminds you of warmth? Over 1,000 responses later, Neil began to weave replies from across the world into a poem in aid of the UNHCR's winter appeal.It revealed our shared desire to feel safe, welcome and warm in a world that can often feel frightening and lonely. Now publishing in hardback and illustrated by a group of artists from around the world, What You Need to Be Warm is an exploration of displacement and flight from conflict through the objects and memories that represent warmth. It is about our right to feel safe, whoever we are and wherever we are from.It is about holding out a hand to welcome those who find themselves far from home. Featuring new, original illustrations from Chris Riddell, Benji Davies, Yuliya Gwilym, Nadine Kaadan, Daniel Egneus, Pam Smy, Petr Horacek, Beth Suzanna, Bagram Ib

重返生命之流，悟在柴米油鹽中突破修行套路，重拾純粹與自由《當下覺醒》作者史帝芬．鮑地安，正念之外另闢蹊徑，引介通向覺知與愛的直接方法正念禪修蔚為風潮，許多人以此尋求內心的清明，但兼具修行與心理學背景的作者鮑地安，卻在長期的正念修習中遇到瓶頸：他感受到平靜，卻流失了靈動與能量。他看見了正念的盲點，也發現有一種更直接、簡單的方法，通往「覺醒的覺知力」，能更持久地感受平靜與喜悅。鮑地安肯定傳統正念在覺察念頭與思緒、培養開放性覺知上的助益。但他指出，正念強調專注力，恐讓「努力保持正念」成為忙碌生活的另一項「任務」，還可能使人為了保有平靜而超然物外，因而疏離了有情的生活世界。在本書中，鮑地安展示另一條直達心靈覺醒的道路。覺醒的覺知不需透過「努力練習」去追求，而應洞悉我們的本質──你就是覺知力。鮑地安的方法以佛法不二論為基礎，巧妙揉和西方心理學，以現代語彙闡述難以言傳的佛學教法，讓人耳目一新。他更提供毫無門檻的冥想練習，提示我們如何不費力地保持覺知。讀者將發現，禪修不再只是蒲團上的靜坐，而是以更積極的態度享受生活；喜樂與愛並非必須苦苦追求的崇高境界，只需回到真實的自己就能擁有。鮑地安並不反對正念禪修，但他提供的直接方法超越了正念練習，令我們鬆一口氣，在日常柴米油鹽中沐浴本然的覺知之光。────────────────────正念減壓創始人卡巴金曾提到禪修的兩種途徑：方法論（instrumental）和非方法論（non-instrumental），大部分正念夥伴可能較熟悉前者，但很高興本書作者點出了後者。卡巴金在《當下，繁花盛開》（Wherever you go, there you are）三十週年版中強調：「超越自我中心之覺性本質，正是修習的關鍵心要；而身心的覺性早就存在，人類覺知的真實本質就由它構成，這項本質無邊無際，亦為永恆，身而為人的你已經擁有。」這個觀點剛好與本書論述不謀而合，更是深得我心。在此推薦所有想體解當代正念更深入意涵的朋友好好品嘗此書。──陳德中／台灣正念工坊創辦人覺知即是超越一切，包含正念，以及一切能所對立的狀態。本書與佛教中大手印不謀而和。大手印：「在專注與覺知中無造作地安住於本然之心，超越能所的覺知中。」在此推薦想要進一步深入正念禪修的朋友。──林隆璇／知名音樂人，台南應用科技大學流行音樂系副教授兼系主任，正念導師書中提到的「覺醒的覺知力」是一個事實，
