《海胆》是一本人物特写集，收录了十篇文章，写出了十个人的秘密。
附赠朴树亲笔信。
之所以取名“海胆”，是因为这十个人都和海胆一样：有尖利的刺，也有柔软的心。
除了刷爆朋友圈的《和李安一起午餐》——对李安而言，电影的秘密可以讲，生活的秘密不可说。但他把生活秘密藏在电影里，看懂了，才是真正理解他了——还有：
《Hello，朴树先生》：用两万字告诉你，一个40多岁的男人要“天真做少年”，需要付出怎样的代价？
《刘若英：每个女人心里都卧虎藏龙》：是做循规蹈矩的俞秀莲，还是自由肆意的玉娇龙？如果两个都想，就是太贪心吗？
《侯孝贤：一根老骨头，知道自己的样子》：《刺客聂隐娘》为什么会拍成这个样子？下一部电影会是什么？还有，他为什么从来不拍中老年人？
……
十篇文章，写了十个成功者内心的欲望、恐惧和挣扎。当你理解了他们，会更能应对自己在生活中碰到的难题。

<b>In her own words, Ruth Bader Ginsburg offers an intimate look at her life and career, through an extraordinary series of conversations</b><b> with the head of the National Constitution Center.</b><br /><br />This remarkable book presents a unique portrait of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, drawing on more than twenty years of conversations with Jeffrey Rosen, starting in the 1990s and continuing through the Trump era. Rosen, a veteran legal journalist, scholar, and president of the National Constitution Center, shares with us the justice's observations on a variety of topics, and her intellect, compassion, sense of humor, and humanity shine through. The affection they have for each other as friends is apparent in their banter and in their shared love for the Constitution--and for opera.<br /><br />In <i>Conversations with RBG</i>, Justice Ginsburg discusses the future of <i>Roe v. Wade</i>, her favorite dissents, the cases she would most like to see overruled, the #MeToo movement, how to be a good listener, how to lead a productive and compassionate life, and of course the future of the Supreme Court itself. These frank exchanges illuminate the steely determination, self-mastery, and wit that have inspired Americans of all ages to embrace the woman known to all as "Notorious RBG."<br /><br />Whatever the topic, Justice Ginsburg always has something interesting--and often surprising--to say. And while few of us will ever have the opportunity to chat with her face-to-face, Jeffrey Rosen brings us by her side as never before. <i>Conversations with RBG</i> is a deeply felt portrait of an American hero.
