Based on their workshops and counseling experience, psychologists Jane B. Burka and Lenora M. Yuen offer a probing, sensitive, and at times humorous look at a problem that affects everyone: students and scientists, secretaries and executives, homemakers and salespeople. Procrastination identifies the reasons we put off tasks—fears of failure, success, control, separation, and attachment—and their roots in our childhood and adult experiences. The authors offer a practical, tested program to overcome procrastination by achieving set goals, managing time, enlisting support, and handling stress. Burka and Yuen even provide tips on living and working with the procrastinators you may know.
Wise, effective, and easy to use, this new edition shows why for 25 years Procrastination has been an immediate must-have for anyone who puts things off until tomorrow.
Procrastination is a problem that strikes millions of people in every walk of life. California psychologists Jane B. Burka and Lenora M. Yuen pinpoints several causes of procrastination and show how to shake this fascinating tendency once and for all.

How to Lie With Statistics
8.6 (7 个评分)
作者:
Darrell Huff
W. W. Norton & Company
1993
- 10
"There is terror in numbers," writes Darrell Huff in How to Lie with Statistics. And nowhere does this terror translate to blind acceptance of authority more than in the slippery world of averages, correlations, graphs, and trends. Huff sought to break through "the daze that follows the collision of statistics with the human mind" with this slim volume, first published in 1954. The book remains relevant as a wake-up call for people unaccustomed to examining the endless flow of numbers pouring from Wall Street, Madison Avenue, and everywhere else someone has an axe to grind, a point to prove, or a product to sell. "The secret language of statistics, so appealing in a fact-minded culture, is employed to sensationalize, inflate, confuse, and oversimplify," warns Huff.
Although many of the examples used in the book are charmingly dated, the cautions are timeless. Statistics are rife with opportunities for misuse, from "gee-whiz graphs" that add nonexistent drama to trends, to "results" detached from their method and meaning, to statistics' ultimate bugaboo--faulty cause-and-effect reasoning. Huff's tone is tolerant and amused, but no-nonsense. Like a lecturing father, he expects you to learn something useful from the book, and start applying it every day. Never be a sucker again, he cries!
Even if you can't find a source of demonstrable bias, allow yourself some degree of skepticism about the results as long as there is a possibility of bias somewhere. There always is.
Read How to Lie with Statistics. Whether you encounter statistics at work, at school, or in advertising, you'll remember its simple lessons. Don't be terrorized by numbers, Huff implores. "The fact is that, despite its mathematical base, statistics is as much an art as it is a science." --Therese Littleton

The Power of Now 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者:
Eckhart Tolle
New World Library

Eckhart Tolle's message is simple: living in the now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment. And while this message may not seem stunningly original or fresh, Tolle's clear writing, supportive voice and enthusiasm make this an excellent manual for anyone who's ever wondered what exactly "living in the now" means. Foremost, Tolle is a world-class teacher, able to explain complicated concepts in concrete language. More importantly, within a chapter of reading this book, readers are already holding the world in a different container--more conscious of how thoughts and emotions get in the way of their ability to live in genuine peace and happiness.
Tolle packs a lot of information and inspirational ideas into The Power of Now. (Topics include the source of Chi, enlightened relationships, creative use of the mind, impermanence and the cycle of life.) Thankfully, he's added markers that symbolise "break time". This is when readers should close the book and mull over what they just read. As a result, The Power of Now reads like the highly acclaimed A Course in Miracles--a spiritual guidebook that has the potential to inspire just as many study groups and change just as many lives for the better. --Gail Hudson

曾经,有一位乞丐在路边坐了三十多年。
一天,一位陌生人经过。
这位乞丐机械地举起他的旧棒球帽,喃喃地说:“给点儿吧。”
陌生人说:“我没有任何东西可以给你。”
然后他问:“你坐着的是什么?”
乞丐回答说:“什么都没有,只是一个旧箱子而已,自从我有记忆以来,我就一直坐在它上面。”陌生人问:“你曾经打开过箱子吗?”
“没有。”乞丐说:“有什么用?里面什么都没有。”
陌生人坚持:“打开箱子看一看。”
乞丐这才试着打开箱子。这时令人意想不到的事情发生了,乞丐充满了惊奇与狂喜:箱子里装满了金子。
那些没有找到他们真正财富——存在的欢乐以及与它紧密联系在一起的深深的不可动摇的宁静——的人就是故事中的那个乞丐,即便已经拥有很多物质上的财富,他们依然在四处寻找欢乐、成就、安全或爱情的残余,他们不知道,自己不仅已经拥有了所有这些,还拥有了比这些更为珍贵的东西,那就是——当下的力量。

Offering an abbreviated, accessible, and lively narrative history of the United States, this erudite volume contains the essential facts about the discovery, settlement, growth, and development of the American nation and its institutions. Robert V. Remini explores the arrival and migration of Native Americans throughout the Western Hemisphere and their achievements; the discovery of the New World by Europeans and the establishment of colonies by the Spanish, French, English, and Dutch; the causes of the American Revolution; the founding of a republic under the Constitution; the formation of political parties; the War of 1812 and the resulting economic and cultural changes; the democratic impetus during the Jacksonian era; westward expansion and the Mexican War; the struggle over slavery, which led to the Civil War; Reconstruction and the rise of big business; the emergence of the United States as a world power; the descent into the Great Depression; the global conflicts of the twentieth century; the rise of conservatism; and the outbreak of terrorism here and abroad. In addition, Remini illustrates how former English subjects slowly transformed themselves into Americans, and shows how a collection of sovereign, independent colonies united to create a workable, constantly evolving republican government whose democratic principles reflect the changing mores and attitudes of the citizens it represents. He explains the reasons for the nation's unique and enduring strengths, its artistic and cultural accomplishments, its genius in developing new products to sell to the world, and its abiding commitment to individual freedoms.

日本神户,渡边博子在未婚夫藤井树的三周年祭日上又一次陷入到悲痛和思念之中。博子在藤井树的中学同学录里找到了他在小樽市读书时的地址。由于抑制不住对爱人的怀念,博子按着这个地址给远在天国的藤井树寄去了一封充满问候和思念的书信。 不可思议的是,不久博子竟然收到了署名为“藤井树”的回信。经过进一步了解,这个藤井树是一个年轻的女子,而且她还曾经是男性藤井树的同班同学,原来是博子从同学录中误抄了她的地址。为了多了解一些男友在中学时代的情况,博子继续与女性藤井树保持书信来往。而藤井树在不断的回忆中,竟逐渐发现中学时代那个和自己同名同姓的少男曾经对自己产生过一段真挚的感情…… 《情书》由一个同名同姓的误会开始,通过两个女子书信的交流,以含情脉脉的笔触舒缓地展现了两段可贵的爱情。女主角博子对藤井树的眷恋,两个藤井树之间朦胧的情感,都没有由于藤井树的意外死亡而枯萎,而通过细腻感人的影象深深地印在每一个观众的心里,永远不变。 在精心描绘爱情的同时,岩井俊二还着意表现了对逝去岁月的怀念和追忆。《情书》正象普鲁斯特那本小说的名字,追忆着似水的年华。过往的爱情和青春也正是在主人公的回忆中才逐渐清晰、复活。与现实相比,影片中的过去更为明快优美。在那一幅幅唯美的画面中,漫天飞舞的片片樱花,暗生情愫的少男少女,都唤起我们的无限遐想。而《情书》中所构筑的那个美好的中学时代,可能也正是岩井俊二和很多人最为温馨纯洁的回忆。 《情书》中对过去的追忆和有关生死的描绘都极具东方气质,含蓄优美、感而不伤地表达了故事的主题——珍惜有限的生命和宝贵的爱情。
