Emotional Agility 豆瓣 谷歌图书 Goodreads
作者: Susan David Avery Publishing Group 2016 - 9
<b>The counterintuitive approach to achieving your true potential, heralded by the <i>Harvard Business Review</i> as a groundbreaking idea of the year.</b><br />  <br /> The path to fulfillment, whether at work or at home, is almost never a straight line. Ask anyone who has achieved their biggest goals or who thrives in their relationships, and you’ll hear stories of many unexpected detours along the way. What separates those who rise to these challenges and those who get derailed? The answer is agility—emotional agility.<br /><br />Emotional agility is a four-step approach that allows us to navigate life’s twists and turns with self-acceptance, clear-sightedness, and an open mind. In her more than twenty years of research, Susan David has found that no matter how intelligent, resilient, or creative people are, when they ignore how situations or interactions make them feel, they miss opportunities to gain insight, getting hooked by thoughts, emotions, and habits that prevent them from reaching their full potential. Emotionally agile people experience the same stresses and setbacks as anyone else, but they know how to adapt, aligning their actions with their values and making small changes that lead to a life of growth.<br /><br />Drawing on her extensive professional research, her international consulting work, and her own experiences growing up in Apartheid-era South Africa and losing her father at a young age, David shows how anyone can become more emotionally agile and thrive in an uncertain world. Written with authority, wit, and empathy, <i>Emotional Agility</i> will help you live your most successful life, whoever you are and whatever you face. <br /><br />Take the FREE Emotional Agility Insights Quiz here: https://bitly.com/ea-quiz

Unaccustomed Earth 豆瓣
作者: Jhumpa Lahiri Knopf 2008 - 4
From the internationally bestselling, Pulitzer Prize—winning author, a superbly crafted new work of fiction: eight stories that take us from Cambridge and Seattle to India and Thailand.
In the stunning title story, Ruma, a young mother in a new city, is visited by her father, who carefully tends the earth of her garden, where he and his grandson form a special bond. But he’s harboring a secret from his daughter, a love affair he’s keeping all to himself. In “A Choice of Accommodations,” a husband’s attempt to turn an old friend’s wedding into a romantic getaway weekend with his wife takes a dark, revealing turn as the party lasts deep into the night. In “Only Goodness,” a sister eager to give her younger brother the perfect childhood she never had is overwhelmed by guilt, anguish, and anger when his alcoholism threatens her family. And in “Hema and Kaushik,” a trio of linked stories–a luminous, intensely compelling elegy of life, death, love, and fate–we follow the lives of a girl and boy who, one winter, share a house in Massachusetts. They travel from innocence to experience on separate, sometimes painful paths, until destiny brings them together again years later in Rome.

The Adventures of Wu : The Life Cycle of a Peking Man
作者: 罗信耀 译者: 罗进德 文津出版社 2020 - 8
本书是部英译汉的译著。经埃德加斯诺的介绍,罗信耀先生在《北平时事日报》用英语向外国人介绍北京文化,后结集为The Adventures of Wu: The Life Cycle of a Peking Man,先后有英语版本和日语版本出版,在国外影响很大,一版再版,被认为是外国研究北京民俗的必备书籍,遗憾的是因为大量民俗的专业名词,以及涉及的领域太广,翻译烦难,所以一直没有中译本。吴晓铃、葛兆光等名家曾阅读日文本,力主翻译。罗进德先生秉着对北京文化的爱,以及父亲的嘱托,根据初版和日文本相对照,花了10余年的功夫终于翻译出来,同时又参照近百种北京文化类书籍对其中的民俗文化进行与时俱进的注释和考订。本书以20世纪一位老北京人从生到死的日常生活为主线,包括生子、婚丧嫁娶,也包括进香、赛马、上朝等,忠实记录了老北京多姿多彩的生活方式。尤其难得的是作者自身是旗人,他隐性地写出了一幅生动翔实的满族旗俗的风情画卷。这对我们理解北京文化的多民族形成和巨大包容性,勾勒中国乡愁的北京特色极具意义。本书以叙述为主,不仅趣味性高,可读性极强,罗信耀先生又善于版画,本书通过大量的生动插图,对我们还原那些老北京消逝的绝活极有启发意义。

A Promised Land
8.7 (11 个评分) 作者: Barack Obama Crown 2020 - 11
A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making—from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy
In the stirring, highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency—a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil.
Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation’s highest office.
Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. We are privy to his thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis, takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune’s Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden.
A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective—the story of one man’s bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of “hope and change,” and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible.
This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama’s conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.

AOC 豆瓣
作者: Lynda Lopez (ed.) St. Martin's Press 2020 - 8
In the vein of Notorious RBG, seventeen writers explore the multiple meanings of a young Latina politician who has already made history.
From the moment Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez beat a ten-term incumbent in the primary election for New York’s 14th, her journey to the national, if not world, stage, was fast-tracked. Six months later, as the youngest Congresswoman ever elected, AOC became one of a handful of Latina politicians in Washington, D.C. Just thirty, she represents her generation, the millennials, in many groundbreaking ways: proudly working class, Democratic Socialist, of Puerto Rican descent, master of social media, not to mention of the Bronx, feminist—and a great dancer.
AOC investigates her symbolic and personal significance for so many, from her willingness to use her imperfect bi-lingualism, to why men are so threatened by her power, to the long history of Puerto Rican activism that she joins. Contributors span a wide range of voices and ages, from media to the arts and politics:

8.4 (91 个评分) 作者: [日] 角田光代 译者: 杨明绮 浙江人民出版社 2020 - 1
新手妈妈里沙子,被选为了一名陪审员,接受审判的是一名杀害幼女的“恶母”。随着庭审的深入,里沙子却发现被告和自己是如此相似……
为了育儿放弃职业生涯,却因此失去了最后一点属于自己的空间;再多的辛苦都被认为是理所应当,丈夫帮忙再少都会被外界赞扬;育儿中有无数的疑问和困难,却只会被敷衍“大家都是这么过来的”。
里沙子开始怀疑:“是不是每个母亲,都有可能因为这些遭遇,变为被告席上的嫌犯?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
我是妈妈,是女儿,是妻子,可是我也想做自己。
年度女性发声之作,你不得不读的5大理由:
1.新京报、界面文化、澎湃等主流媒体刷屏报道
2.武志红、反裤衩阵地、萝严肃等KOL大号争相热议
3.Sir电影、独立鱼、乌鸦电影等影视公号相见恨晚
4.同名改编剧作蝉联豆瓣微博话题榜,数十万网友齐声打Call
5.郝景芳、侯虹斌、库索、张怡微等七位文化女性走心推荐
女子本弱,为母则刚,是世界对女性最大的恶意。
揭露丧偶式育儿困局,探究女性生存真相。
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
郝景芳 —— 作家
现代社会往往鼓励母亲、赞扬母亲,却鲜少有人看到并理解女性的孤独和倦怠。家庭内部的日常琐碎而繁复,社会的压力无形而持续,而这些本不该由她们独自背负。
侯虹斌 —— 媒体人、作家
虽然说的是日本的故事,但是,中国女性仍然心有戚戚。水穗和里沙子这样的人生,表面光鲜漂亮,实则压抑、窒息、绝望,无从逃脱。年轻妈妈们需要被看见、被理解、被接纳。
库索 —— 旅日作家、媒体人
现代社会把“母亲”和“妻子”默认为一种义务劳动,普通女性想要摆脱这两个标签的束缚而拥有自己的生活,是一件非常困难的事情。比起社会环境的不宽容,让女性更为崩溃的是家庭和职场的不兼容。
张怡微 —— 作家、学者
《坡道上的家》带着平实的情感和真诚的困惑提醒年轻女性,人生目标的设定、亲密关系的沟通、自我教育的准备不应只做到婚前为止。生活的考验静水流深,幸福的旅程是漫长的上坡路。
顾湘 —— 作家、画家
生活真是又苦又累啊。为什么不能叫苦叫累呢?哪怕是叫一叫,或者只是听见同样的别人叫一叫,心里也会好过不少,才能够继续活下去吧。有时候听不见别人的声音,自己也叫不出声,就在寂静里面坏掉了。
戴潍娜 —— 作家、诗人
世上没有天生的母亲。那些犹疑的笔触所带出的,婚姻和育儿生活中难于澄清,却无处不在的微妙的“不公感”,令人毛骨悚然。
匡匡 —— 作家、日文译者
这部小说不是什么恶母的故事,是所有女性从同类的苦难中照见和救赎自身的洞口。

What We Talk About When We Talk About Love
7.8 (28 个评分) 作者: [美] 雷蒙德·卡佛 译者: 小二 南海出版公司 2020 - 10
我们当中有谁真正懂得爱情吗?
特芮说,之前和她生活在一起的男人非常爱她,爱到想杀死她。她坚称那是爱情,尽管在大多数人眼里那并不正常。
尼克和劳拉说,他们知道什么是爱情。他们因工作相识,彼此欣赏,如今已一起度过一年半,仍处于甜蜜的热恋中,因爱而发光。
而我曾经有一段时间, 爱我前妻胜过爱我的生命。但现在,我从心里恨透了她。
大家都说,人和人不一样,爱的方式也各不相同。这点我不该否认。
但我要告诉你们一件事,它会让我们感到羞愧。
我们在谈论爱情时,说起来就像知道自己在说什么一样。

文化失忆 豆瓣
Cultural Amnesia: Notes in the Margin of My Time
8.1 (18 个评分) 作者: [澳] 克莱夫·詹姆斯 译者: 丁骏 / 张楠 北京日报出版社 2020 - 10
我们生活的世纪脱胎于二十世纪,正如一道黑烟从石油大火中升起。
如果不能记住所有的事情,我们至少应该知道自己忘记了什么。
.
克莱夫·詹姆斯用了四十年时间完成《文化失忆》,一部介绍自由人文主义传统“独出机杼的核心纲要”,由百篇历史人物评论组成,除了那些醒目的路标式人物,更多的是被留存在遗忘边缘的名字。二十世纪几次大灾难历尽生死存亡,无数人消失在晦暗的断裂中,更多不合时宜的事实经过筛选淬炼,重组为我们所知的历史。詹姆斯提醒人们,使文明成其为文明的人文主义若要在新世纪得以留存,继承者们就不能放弃对过去的记忆。本书试图召回、感知和审视二十世纪动荡的精神生活,捕捉“一场盛大对话的边角”,以此抵抗遗忘,并重新建立联结。
詹姆斯通晓七种语言,贯通哲学、历史、政治和艺术,打磨出一份警句频出的现代文明回忆清单。从阿赫玛托娃(A)到茨威格(Z),作者写的不仅仅是闪耀的群星,还有人类一切创造力之间错综复杂的勾连及其周围环绕的黑暗,它们共同构成时间之海上一道明灭相间的星辉:或许会黯淡,但永不消逝。作为一名真正的人文主义者和现实主义者,詹姆斯热诚的书写让历史回到当下的脉搏之中,并获得回应当下的能力:对于一切削弱人文主义联结的势力,任何创造性的活动都是必要的抗争。
.
充满格言警句、极具启发的文明史速成课程。——J. M. 库切(诺贝尔文学奖得主)
一颗惊人的星星迸发出炽烈的光辉。——西蒙·沙玛(英国历史学家、哥伦比亚大学艺术史讲师)
詹姆斯获得“折衷高眉与浅俗的大师”这一声誉,当之无愧。——《洛杉矶时报》
詹姆斯证明了自己不仅拥有卓越的才智,而且还拥有非凡的能力来传达自己的激情。——《观察家报》
当英国失去克莱夫·詹姆斯,就好像一架有五六名最优秀的作家乘坐的飞机坠毁了。——德怀特·加纳(评论家)
诙谐、深刻、博学,关于二十世纪文化与政治丰富驳杂的一流文集。——《星期日泰晤士报》
极具天赋,博学多才到令人嫉妒,他慷慨的书写包罗万象。——约翰·班维尔,《纽约书评》
再也没有人能够像他这样博识地,用这样幽默、精简的文字去写出他所见证过的这个逝去的世纪……他对于古典自由人文主义的信仰,使得他能够获得更大的动力,在晚年经历了许多病痛的阶段,仍然持续创作。这部书虽然是在他得悉自己生病之前就开始的,但你仍然可以看到,在这些看来非常轻简的文字,有时候非常有趣的段落之外,背后持续关注、持续投入的热情,那种不可能失去焦点、不可能转移视线的洞察的持续。我想这就是克莱夫·詹姆斯留给我们最大的一个教益。我们在《文化失忆》这部书里面读到的,是前几个世纪持续的声音跟倾向的一种回响。——梁文道
虽然需要相当知识储备,但本书极具可读性:不仅构思颇为用心,文辞(因为翻译)亦美轮美奂,几乎可以说 ,从头至尾洒满了警句、金句。可惜作者去年11月底在伦敦去世,否则我差不多敢说,这本《文化失忆》,是在世作家写出的不朽经典。——刘苏里
作者推崇古罗马的塔西佗,他说塔西佗是他这本书写作的源头,正是这位古罗马的历史书写者,在一个专制恐怖的时代,发展出一种新的文体,来容纳他的绝望,一种坩埚般熔化一切的文体。这种文体会在专制恐怖的时代之后依旧长久地存活下去。他说,自己这本书里写到的这些现代和前现代的英雄们,从孟德斯鸠到戈洛·曼,正是以塔西佗凝练的表达能力作为标杆,来衡量自己在多大程度上完成了任务。我想,克莱夫·詹姆斯本人,在这本书中也完成了这个任务。——张定浩
克莱夫对于知识分子、政治家、文化名人有一个评价的尺度,那就是面对权力和恐怖时表现的勇敢、独立和良知。他深知我们时代的健忘并不是因为大脑记忆能力的退化,而是因为文化的话语权从来都是在隐而不显地将一些东西秘密排除到我们的记忆之外。打败文化失忆症,当然最好要有克莱夫·詹姆斯那种百科全书式的博学,但如果你和我一样无法在智识和阅读面上效仿他的这种才子风格,那起码可以认真抱起这本他花了四十年写的书,让他带我们去进入一个有着无数秘密分岔的花园。——但汉松
这是我最向往的一种读者跟书籍、跟文字、跟思想相处的方式:分心与专注之间的悖论。首先他是贪得无厌的,任何形式的才华都能吸引他,不顾一切地扑上去尽情纠缠;更为重要的是,在享受这种脆弱的才华的时候,时刻担心着毁坏它的力量。克莱夫·詹姆斯在这本书里展现出来的自我教育是如此的迷人,以至于我以后看到不是这样看书、这样写作的人,总觉得有什么缺憾。——陈以侃

7.5 (77 个评分) 作者: [以] 尤瓦尔·赫拉利 译者: 林俊宏 中信出版集团 2018 - 8
四年前,尤瓦尔•赫拉利的《人类简史》横空出世,颠覆了我们关于人类进化的认知。2016年,他的《未来简史》再度惊艳四座,刷新了我们对未来的想象,掀起了全球关于人工智能讨论的新思潮。现在,“简史三部曲”收官之作《今日简史》推出,将目光聚焦到当下,直面今天关乎我们每个人命运的问题和挑战。
尤瓦尔•赫拉利认为,智人之所以能够崛起成为地球的主宰者,主要原因在于其具备了虚构故事的能力。然而,在当前这样一个分化的世界,我们对旧故事已失去信心,对新故事亦远未达成共识。
《今日简史》提出,当前人类社会面临着科技颠覆、生态崩溃和核战争三大挑战。“国家”这一身份认同已不足以应对今天的挑战,任何一个国家都无法独立解决全球性问题。人工智能和生物技术正在颠覆原有的社会结构和分配方式,数据成为最重要的资源。
当数据巨头比我们更了解自己,当“在线”成为一种生存方式,如何规范数据的所有权?能否建立起一个维护人类自由和平等的全球社群?人工智能和生物技术已使人类掌握了重塑和重新设计生命的能力。我们该如何运用这种能力,上演另一出全新大戏?
在一个信息爆炸却多半无用的世界,清晰的见解就成了一种力量。对于关乎人类命运的种种议题,尤瓦尔•赫拉利在《今日简史》中没有简单给出答案,而是引发了我们进一步思考。

Published in 1782, just years before the French Revolution, "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" is a disturbing and ultimately damning portrayal of a decadent society. At its centre are two aristocrats, former lovers, who embark on a sophisticated game of seduction and manipulation to bring amusement to their jaded existences. While the Marquise de Merteuil challenges the Vicomte de Valmont to seduce an innocent convent girl, the Vicomte is also occupied with the conquest of a virtuous married woman. But as their intrigues become more duplicitous and they find their human pawns responding in ways they could not have predicted, the consequences prove to be more serious, and deadly, than Merteuil and Valmont could have guessed.

Good Talk 豆瓣 Goodreads
8.5 (6 个评分) 作者: Mira Jacob One World 2019 - 3
A bold, wry, and intimate graphic memoir about American identity, interracial families, and the realities that divide us, from the acclaimed author of The Sleepwalker’s Guide to Dancing.
“By turns hilarious and heart-rending, it’s exactly the book America needs at this moment.”—Celeste Ng
“Who taught Michael Jackson to dance?”
“Is that how people really walk on the moon?”
“Is it bad to be brown?”
“Are white people afraid of brown people?”
Like many six-year-olds, Mira Jacob’s half-Jewish, half-Indian son, Z, has questions about everything. At first they are innocuous enough, but as tensions from the 2016 election spread from the media into his own family, they become much, much more complicated. Trying to answer him honestly, Mira has to think back to where she’s gotten her own answers: her most formative conversations about race, color, sexuality, and, of course, love.
“How brown is too brown?”
“Can Indians be racist?”
“What does real love between really different people look like?”
Written with humor and vulnerability, this deeply relatable graphic memoir is a love letter to the art of conversation—and to the hope that hovers in our most difficult questions.

Black Lies Matter 豆瓣
作者: Taleeb Starkes CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform 2016 - 4
In Chicago a.k.a "Chiraq," the first ten days of 2016 yielded 120 people shot. Baltimore's 2015 ended as its bloodiest and deadliest year -- on a per-capita basis. In 2014, Detroit's police chief called upon law-abiding citizens to take arms against its burgeoning, violent, criminal subculture.
Unfortunately, these cities aren't anomalies. Year after year, a seemingly unshakable reality of violence plagues black communities nationwide.
In fact, since 1980, blacks have routinely accounted for almost half of America's annual homicide victims, and more than half of the perpetrators -- all while being a minor thirteen percent of the national populace.
Yet, a certain black-based industry -- which specializes in nurturing comfortable lies while burying uncomfortable truths -- propagates a notion that "racism" is the foremost issue facing black Americans, and white cops are blood-thirsty enforcers.
Moreover, this cunning, race-peddling entity knows that it's easier to lie to blacks than to convince blacks that they've been lied to.
Thus, black "lies" are good for business... black "lives" are good for nothing (except exploitation).
And presently, business is booming.
