每個人的心中,都有個理想人生的圖像,但再怎麼努力,總有一步之遙,總是領悟太遲。知名的哈佛跨世代人生研究,穿越上千人的一生,窺見人生終局的祕密,讓你別再錯過。★《紐約時報》暢銷書 ★The Next Big Idea Club推薦必讀★亞馬遜編輯精選最佳非文學、分類榜TOP1 ★TED Talk TOP10★國際媒體重磅推薦:《紐約時報》、《華盛頓郵報》、《時代雜誌》、《波士頓環球報》、《衛報》、Kirkus、TODAY、CNN、CNBC、NPR、《哈佛商業評論》、《哈佛校報》(Harvard Gazette)、《哈佛深紅報》(Harvard Crimson)我們最不擅長的,就是經營自己的人生。每個人都充滿矛盾又極為複雜,在追求滿足的路上,經常誤入歧途,僅靠自己的閱歷,摸索不出人生的全貌。哈佛成人發展研究是最著名的跨世代幸福研究,從1938年開始,橫跨三個世代、持續近百年,研究躋身贏者圈的哈佛菁英,也追蹤波士頓貧民區的弱勢人生,連美國前總統甘迺迪也是研究個案,是史上歷時最久的龐大人類境況研究。研究記錄參與者從兒時煩惱、初戀、一路上做的選擇,直到生命最終的時光,翻閱每個研究檔案,就像快轉人生,窺見未經剪輯、也不受回憶扭曲的真實人生經歷。人生充滿轉折,上千個真實的人生境遇,揭露影響一生的重要關鍵。本書作者沃丁格博士與修茲博士,是哈佛研究第四任主持人。兩人從這涵蓋過千人、持續近百年的研究中,得出意想不到的結論:贏在起跑點不是成功人生的保證,童年經驗、個性、出身,都不能決定幸福,最能確保一生品質的,只有最重要的一件事,就是培養正向的人際關係,這是風雨人生的溫暖保護。沒有人的命運被刻在石頭上。人生是沙地上的畫,現在改變,就畫出美好。我們一生中最重要的身份、行為、與經驗,都與人際關係緊密相關。但人際關係既麻煩、捉摸不定、更難以掌控,我們很容易選擇與人保持距離、靠自己就好,或者認為自己的人際關係已經沒救了、一切都太遲了。兩位作者在書中深入挖掘不同的關係類型,包括哪些事對於長期親密關係很重要、早期家庭經驗對身心的影響以及我們可以如何應對、職場上常被忽略的人際交流機會,以及各式各樣的友誼可以帶來哪些驚人的好處。書中也分享許多研究洞見與方法,面對人生中的各種關係,我們都有能力促成正向改變。親密關係――最懂我們的人,也是能傷我們最重的人。伴侶是我們人際宇宙的核心角色,與另一半的關係也會

A sweeping history of and meditation on humanity's relationship with machines, showing how we got here and what happens nextFaith in technological fixes for our problems is waning. Automation, which promised relief from toil, has reactivated the long-standing fear of job redundancy. Information technology, meant to liberate us from traditional authority, is placing unprecedented powers of surveillance and control in the hands of a purely secular Big Brother.And for the first time, artificial intelligence threatens anthropogenic disaster – disaster caused by our own activities. Scientists join imaginative writers in warning us of the fate of Icarus, whose wings melted because he flew too close to the sun. This book tells the story of our fractured relationship with machines from humanity’s first tools down to the present and into the future.It raises the crucial question of why some parts of the world developed a ‘machine civilisation’ and not others, and traces the interactions between
From celebrity author Kevin Hart comes the laugh-out-loud highly illustrated sequel to Marcus Makes a Movie about a young boy who has big Hollywood dreams―and the hustle to make it happen.“Everybody, grab a ticket and run for a front row seat to Marcus Makes a Movie!” ―Judd Winick, New York Times bestselling author of the Hilo series Marcus’s movie, Toothpick vs. the Doom, is a HIT! But the only thing harder than making a movie is making a SECOND one. Marcus needs to come up with another great idea fast. Too bad his film crew (aka friends) are too preoccupied with their MeTube channels to notice. An invite to The Helen Show has Marcus thinking they’ll be back on top, but will nerves, unchecked ambition, and a rivalry between friends shut down this show before it even begins? In the laugh-out-loud sequel, actor and comedian Kevin Hart delivers a message about being creative, working hard, and learning that sometimes the best dreams are the ones you achieve with your friends.
