★ 当知识分子遇上许知远,从审美的共鸣到知识共同体的重建,将时代观察呈现为更辽阔与深沉的表达
受访者皆是我们时代中,他们有各自独特的生命体验和见识,所以有料;从访谈窥人,他们或谦和,或洒脱,或深情,风格迥异,所以有趣;他们为同一种逝去而叹息,为同一种精神而欣喜,所以有同一种温度:同样关心广阔的人类命运,并奋不顾身投身其中。
★ 树立人物访谈的新典范,以个体为样本,探寻智性生活的无限可能:
作为 “智识上的同路人”,许知远对话10余位我们时代里的标志性的知识分子,涵盖文学、历史、哲学、考古学、经济学、人类学等领域,探讨人文与求真,追问意义与价值;也通过不断对话安顿自我,观察世界,寻回精神生活的力量。
★ 《十三邀》在割裂的时代重建对话精神,极大地扩展了知识分子的可能性:
对话到底意味着什么?在《十三邀》中,许知远通过对话的形式,将个人思想、时代精神与众多人物巧妙地编织在一起,既跨界又自由,构筑了我们时代迄今为止最为盛大的一场对话的欢宴:从每一个人物视角,切入历史与当下的议题,从每一份珍贵的个人经验出发,抵达一个更宽阔的世界。
★ 与视频截然不同的阅读美学:对话历时4年,文稿打磨历时1年,内容体量远超节目呈现;
跟剪辑后的视频相比,图书版《十三邀》更为细腻、全面地呈现访谈内容,记录下多个未能被视频呈现的精彩瞬间;
嘉宾个人年表+访谈视频二维码+新增大量注释+现场照片,构筑更为纵深的阅读场景;
许知远审视与每位对话者的关系,撰写点睛式人物侧写,亦可视为进入访谈之前的一次导览
通过书籍这一更为人性的中介,读者将不再只是对话的旁观者,而是深度的参与者。
★ 彩蛋! 王小波特别篇,李银河等人深情忆小波;
谭嗣同特别篇,历史学家与新青年对谭嗣同从各种角度的动人解读!
许倬云夫人孙曼丽谈婚姻生活中的趣事,六千字长文首发,带你认识一个不一样的许倬云。

你们做(《十三邀》)节目,经过网络发散出去,是可以代替学校教育的。我希望更多人做。传播知识,刺激思想,引导风气。
——许倬云(历史学家)
作为观众,十三邀让我看到了一系列有趣的心灵;作为被访者,十三邀让我直接进入公共讨论,打开了新的思考空间。
——项飙 (人类学家)
十三邀影响很大,批评也不少,正常。我喜欢许知远不惮显露自己,包括自己的弱处,这想来也是真诚对话的应有之义。

之前对许知远不感冒。图书馆有这么一本我随手就借回来了,还不错。项飙那篇有意思,有机会我想找他的书来读一读。
不过我感觉让许自己一个人在那儿表达,就能看见油花隐隐浮上水面哈哈。

“送給真係好鍾意香港的人們”。
我常常觉得自己对香港是没什么特别的感情的,最近读书,却意外地意识到我留了很多细枝末节在心里。这里面有一条线路,我最为熟悉。里面的每个店铺我都进去玩耍过,浪荡过。年轻的时候,感觉时间无穷无尽。
读完之后闭上眼睛想象,似乎冥冥之中灵魂回到了二十岁的我身上,小声地说,“你且珍惜眼前风景”。

这本书的质感很好,字超大,看着很舒服。严格意义上说我没怎么经历过书里描述的情绪,但是他的描述,“我不再和别人待在一块儿,因为我对什么都提不起兴致。我所剩不多的精力都用来尽力保持在一天结束的时候还不至于崩溃上。从早上挨到晚上对我来说就跟爬一座大山一样。” 仅仅读一读,看着图想象一下,就很难过。
精神上的异象用图像来表达非常生动。

豹变 豆瓣
8.4 (21 个评分) 作者: 木心 理想国 | 广西师范大学出版社 2017 - 10
(1) 《豹变》——木心生前的“心愿之作”,木心身后的“木心小说选”
木心的短篇循环体小说《豹变》十六篇,属于汇集而成的长篇作品,不是短篇小说集,而是现代主义文学常见的一个类别。可参照海明威短篇汇成的《在我们的时代》(In Our Time)。同类书在国内出版的较少,但在20世纪世界文学里,已有安德森、海明威、福克纳的著作,这样结构成书。
相比海明威,木心也是擅长短篇的作家。2011年,好友童明翻译的英文版木心小说An Empty Room(《空房》)在美国出版,而这个短篇循环体小说计划,则早在1993年夏天,木心与童明(今《木心诗选》编选者)即已全部酌定中文版《豹变》这十六个短篇,在挑选并重新组合之后,就是一本完整的小说,木心的心愿也在此。这是飞越二十多年的“文学之约”。
(2) 《豹变》——木心的“一本薄薄的厚重礼物”,隐含“一个艺术家的精神成长史”
《豹变》首版的印刷纸张,自欧洲引进,触感自然,色泽柔和,便于纸质版的翻阅,也接近木心早年的民国书籍体验。书名“豹变”,源自《易经》“君子豹变”,隐含一个艺术家的精神成长史,是由弱到强的过程,全书则交织着《哥伦比亚的倒影》、《温莎墓园日记》、《即兴判断》、《巴珑》、《爱默生家的恶客》等木心著作,这是一本薄薄的厚重礼物。
木心有俳句,“我常与钻石宝石倾谈良久”,其眼光独到,看重的多是思想家,如老子、孔子、耶稣、蒙田、爱默生、尼采等。这碎片体也是欧美先锋派的创新之一,现代诗歌最突出的碎片体,当属艾略特的《荒原》,它以审美的陌生感挑战惯性思维,唤回现代生活时常忘却的美学经验,又在美学思维的探索中将碎片接了起来。短篇循环体小说,妙处也可相参。
木心的短篇循环体小说《豹变》,不是短篇小说集,而是一种特殊类别的长篇小说,根植于欧美现代主义的先锋派。
按木心生前的心愿,《豹变》 依次收入十六个短篇——《SOS》、《童年随之而去》、《夏明珠》、《空房》、《芳芳No.4》、《地下室手记》、《西邻子》、《一车十八人》、《同车人的啜泣》、《静静下午茶》、《魏玛早春》、《圆光》、《路工》、《林肯中心的鼓声》、《明天不散步了》、《温莎墓园日记》。各篇既相对独立,又彼此相连,成为有着自己的结构原则的特殊作品,海明威著作即有此类 a short story cycle,照英语译为“短篇循环体小说”。
《豹变》的故事描写的是个体的人,大致看得出童年、少年、青年、中年几个人生阶段。私人经历又对应着战前、二战、二战后、建国后、打开国门等阶段,需要在这些历史背景中思考。当然,还有一个重要的阶段:走出国门后的西方世界。
此外,《豹变》收入编选者童明的长篇代序,在世界文学的视野下,如何看木心文学的世界性,从中也可见童明跟木心从1993年夏酝酿,先有美国英文版An Empty Room(《空房》)的十三篇出版,到木心诞辰九十周年,终有中文版全貌十六篇问世,这是飞越二十多年的“文学之约”。
书名源自《易经》:“大人虎变,小人革面,君子豹变。”豹变是由弱到强的过程,隐含一个艺术家的精神成长史。

借这本书是因为前一天看偶像剧,男主角说女主角像一只豹子,还有就是读骆以军的时候读到了木心。
我喜欢看木心写纽约。不过总体来说不如小时候喜欢读他的文字了。

Why We Sleep 豆瓣
9.0 (22 个评分) 作者: Matthew Walker PhD Scribner 2017 - 10
The first sleep book by a leading scientific expert—Professor Matthew Walker, Director of UC Berkeley’s Sleep and Neuroimaging Lab—reveals his groundbreaking exploration of sleep, explaining how we can harness its transformative power to change our lives for the better.
Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life—eating, drinking, and reproducing—the purpose of sleep remained elusive.
An explosion of scientific discoveries in the last twenty years has shed new light on this fundamental aspect of our lives. Now, preeminent neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker gives us a new understanding of the vital importance of sleep and dreaming. Within the brain, sleep enriches our ability to learn, memorize, and make logical decisions. It recalibrates our emotions, restocks our immune system, fine-tunes our metabolism, and regulates our appetite. Dreaming mollifies painful memories and creates a virtual reality space in which the brain melds past and present knowledge to inspire creativity.
Walker answers important questions about sleep: how do caffeine and alcohol affect sleep? What really happens during REM sleep? Why do our sleep patterns change across a lifetime? How do common sleep aids affect us and can they do long-term damage? Charting cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs, and synthesizing decades of research and clinical practice, Walker explains how we can harness sleep to improve learning, mood, and energy levels; regulate hormones; prevent cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes; slow the effects of aging; increase longevity; enhance the education and lifespan of our children, and boost the efficiency, success, and productivity of our businesses. Clear-eyed, fascinating, and accessible, Why We Sleep is a crucial and illuminating book

听完深深感激老天让我成年之后睡眠很好,我应该更珍惜而非挥霍它的。读了一半立刻买了中文版回家,感觉爸爸妈妈近年开始失眠变严重了。回忆一下,在我成长的过程中,睡觉睡得多这个特质,一直是不被看好的,人们宣扬并且尝试更少的睡眠来彰显自己“精力充沛”,同样,睡的多的人十有八九会被冠上“懒”的标记。其实现在回想,明明就应该鼓励大家,有的睡,多睡!
推荐给想对睡眠多了解一点的朋友。如果没时间读完就去实践一下作者的建议吧,一两个也是好的。
尽量每天入睡和醒来的时间一致,
睡前洗热水澡,
睡前两个小时不要剧烈运动,不要大吃大喝,
不要喝酒,
在做完其他的尝试之前尽量不要轻易尝试安眠药,
多接触日光,
减少咖啡因和尼古丁的摄入,
下午三点之后就别午睡了,
尽量别用闹钟,用了也避免snooze的功能,
电子设备远离睡觉的房间,
钟不要放在手边避免半夜醒来看到增加焦虑,
睡不着就起来做点事,好过在床上狂想,
睡前最好只做听音乐或是看书等轻缓活动。
还有一点,就是醒来之后,去看早晨的日光。

怎么说呢,感觉从旁观者的角度,全程观察了一个(号称)男作家的顶级&低级意淫,比质量差的网文大概差一百本地摊文学吧,问题是我还看到有疑似抄袭的部分。
这里面跟电影最大的关联可能是用了点所有人都知道的台词,和一些非常好莱坞的剧情,感觉这本书的存在,我不知道是更侮辱作家,还是更侮辱影迷。让人生气,还标价58块钱,漂洋过海来到了加拿大的图书馆,这纸拿去做成compost垃圾袋都更有价值。

感受到了主人对猫的爱。
发达国家对动物的感受真是尽量照顾得细致入微。书里说带猫去看医生,医生建议主人安抚的时候不要说“没事”,因为平时在家主人说“没事”一般都表示“是猫不喜欢的事”,所以一直说“加油棒棒好乖”就好。。。我读这里的时候感慨,可能很多小孩都没有被这么体贴地安抚过。。。

A Quantum Life 豆瓣
作者: Hakeem Oluseyi / Joshua Horwitz Ballantine Books 2021 - 6
In this inspiring coming-of-age memoir, a world-renowned astrophysicist emerges from an impoverished childhood and crime-filled adolescence to ascend through the top ranks of research physics.
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY KIRKUS REVIEWS •“You’ll encounter one extraordinary turn of events after another, as the extraordinary chess player, puzzle solver, and occasional grifter works his way from grinding poverty and deep despair to worldwide acclaim as a physicist.”—Bill Nye, CEO of The Planetary Society
Navigating poverty, violence, and instability, a young James Plummer had two guiding stars—a genius IQ and a love of science. But a bookish nerd is a soft target, and James faced years of bullying and abuse. As he struggled to survive his childhood in some of the country’s toughest urban neighborhoods in New Orleans, Houston, and LA, and later in the equally poor backwoods of Mississippi, he adopted the persona of “gangsta nerd”—dealing weed in juke joints while winning state science fairs with computer programs that model Einstein’s theory of relativity.
Once admitted to the elite physics PhD program at Stanford University, James found himself pulled between the promise of a bright future and a dangerous crack cocaine habit he developed in college. With the encouragement of his mentor and the sole Black professor in the physics department, James confronted his personal demons as well as the entrenched racism and classism of the scientific establishment. When he finally seized his dream of a life in astrophysics, he adopted a new name, Hakeem Muata Oluseyi, to honor his African ancestors.
Alternately heartbreaking and hopeful, A Quantum Life narrates one man’s remarkable quest across an ever-expanding universe filled with entanglement and choice.

这本传记可以当悬疑小说看。因为你看开头二十章,家庭贫困,妈妈有精神疾病+嗑药,孩子上了小学才知道有爹这玩意,爹呢是又吸毒又贩毒,他自己也深陷毒圈……怎么看这本书本应该不是黑帮大佬的回忆录,就是如何成为breaking bad主人翁的指南。所以作者是怎么一步步成为了天体物理学家,和大学教授呢?
作者其实没有写太多他有多刻苦,多勤奋……但是你看他经历的困境和创伤就能很容易想象出来。读完觉得好学校真好啊,哪怕有些favor少数族裔的机制看着像装装样子,至少真的有渴求机会陷于困境的人得到帮助,奋力一跃,改变了整个人生。
话说地狱笑话是真的存在,作者说他第一次见他爹挺意外的,因为他认识的黑人小孩都是没有“爹”这个概念的。

The Cult of We 豆瓣
作者: Eliot Brown / Maureen Farrell Crown 2021 - 6
The definitive inside story of WeWork, its audacious founder, and what its epic unraveling says about a financial system drunk on the elixir of Silicon Valley innovation—from the Wall Street Journal correspondents (recently featured in the WeWork Hulu documentary) whose scoop-filled reporting hastened the company’s downfall.
WeWork would be worth $10 trillion, more than any other company in the world. It wasn’t just an office space provider. It was a tech company—an AI startup, even. Its WeGrow schools and WeLive residences would revolutionize education and housing. One day, mused founder Adam Neumann, a Middle East peace accord would be signed in a WeWork. The company might help colonize Mars. And Neumann would become the world’s first trillionaire.
This was the vision of Neumann and his primary cheerleader, SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son. In hindsight, their ambition for the company, whose primary business was subletting desks in slickly designed offices, seems like madness. Why did so many intelligent people—from venture capitalists to Wall Street elite—fall for the hype? And how did WeWork go so wrong?
In little more than a decade, Neumann transformed himself from a struggling baby clothes salesman into the charismatic, hard-partying CEO of a company worth $47 billion—on paper. With his long hair and feel-good mantras, the six-foot-five Israeli transplant looked the part of a messianic truth teller. Investors swooned, and billions poured in.
Neumann dined with the CEOs of JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, entertaining a parade of power brokers desperate to get a slice of what he was selling: the country’s most valuable startup, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a generation-defining moment.
Soon, however, WeWork was burning through cash faster than Neumann could bring it in. From his private jet, sometimes clouded with marijuana smoke, he scoured the globe for more capital. Then, as WeWork readied a Hail Mary IPO, it all fell apart. Nearly $40 billion of value vaporized in one of corporate America’s most spectacular meltdowns.
Peppered with eye-popping, never-before-reported details, The Cult of We is the gripping story of careless and often absurd people—and the financial system they have made.

像把皇帝的新衣拿出来,把里面的细节添添改改,然后就是WeWork和Adam Neumann的从发家到众人推的故事。这本书前前后后听了得有一年,因为听着听着会觉得太蠢了,要喘口气。
这个和bad blood给我是类似的感觉,就是按照书里的写法,这俩CEO一看就是心理有问题,做事不靠谱,全靠一张嘴的,怎么那么多华尔街投资界的资深行家和大佬就看不出来,还上赶着给这俩混蛋vouch兼送钱送人呢。读到很后面我突然意识到,他们是真的不知道吗,不见得的。也许他们觉得,不过只是送这样(能骗更多人)的人&企业一段路,撑到下一个阶段或是上市,只要等到后面有更大的冤种接盘,他们就赚了。
WeWork筹备上市期间,各投行轮流舔Adam Neumann的那一章读完,我觉得我从此之后不用再读写太监的文章了。

My Stroke of Insight 豆瓣
作者: Jill Bolte Taylor Viking Adult 2008 - 5
在线阅读本书
A brain scientist's journey from a debilitating stroke to full recovery becomes an inspiring exploration of human consciousness and its possibilities
On the morning of December 10, 1996, Jill Bolte Taylor, a thirty-seven-year-old Harvard-trained brain scientist, experienced a massive stroke when a blood vessel exploded in the left side of her brain. A neuroanatomist by profession, she observed her own mind completely deteriorate to the point that she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life, all within the space of four brief hours. As the damaged left side of her brain--the rational, grounded, detail- and time-oriented side--swung in and out of function, Taylor alternated between two distinct and opposite realties: the euphoric nirvana of the intuitive and kinesthetic right brain, in which she felt a sense of complete well-being and peace; and the logical, sequential left brain, which recognized Jill was having a stroke, and enabled her to seek help before she was lost completely.
In My Stroke of Insight , Taylor shares her unique perspective on the brain and its capacity for recovery, and the sense of omniscient understanding she gained from this unusual and inspiring voyage out of the abyss of a wounded brain. It would take eight years for Taylor to heal completely. Because of her knowledge of how the brain works, her respect for the cells composing her human form, and most of all an amazing mother, Taylor completely repaired her mind and recalibrated her understanding of the world according to the insights gained from her right brain that morning of December 10th.
Today Taylor is convinced that the stroke was the best thing that could have happened to her. It has taught her that the feeling of nirvana is never more than a mere thought away. By stepping to the right of our left brains , we can all uncover the feelings of well-being and peace that are so often sidelined by our own brain chatter. A fascinating journey into the mechanics of the human mind, My Stroke of Insight is both a valuable recovery guide for anyone touched by a brain injury, and an emotionally stirring testimony that deep internal peace truly is accessible to anyone, at any time. Questions for Jill Bolte Taylor Amazon.com: Your first reaction when you realized what was happening to your body was one you would expect: "Oh my gosh, I'm having a stroke!" Your second, though, was a little more surprising: "Wow, this is so cool!" What could be cool about a stroke? Taylor: I grew up to study the brain because I have a brother who is only 18 months older than I am. He was very different in the way he perceived experiences and then chose to behave. As a result, I became fascinated with the human brain and how it creates our perception of reality. He was eventually diagnosed with the brain disorder schizophrenia, and I dedicated my career to the postmortem investigation of the human brain in an attempt to understand, at a biological level, what are the differences between my brain and my brothers brain. On the morning of the stroke, I realized that my brain was no longer functioning like a "normal" brain and this insight into my brother's reality excited me. I was fascinated to intimately understand what it might be like on the inside for someone who would not be diagnosed as normal. Through the eyes of a curious scientist, this was an absolutely rare and fascinating experience for me to witness the breakdown of my own mind. Amazon.com: What did you learn about the brain from your stroke and your recovery that your scientific training hadn't prepared you for? Taylor: My scientific training did not teach me anything about the human spirit and the value of compassion. I had been trained as a scientist, not as a clinician. I can only hope that we are teaching our future physicians about compassion in medicine, and I know that some medical schools, including the Indiana University School of Medicine, have created a curriculum with this intention. My training as a scientist, however, did provide me with a roadmap to how the body and brain work. And although I lost my left cognitive mind that thinks in language, I retained my right hemisphere that thinks in pictures. As a result, although I could not communicate with the external world, I had an intuitive understanding about what I needed to do in order to create an environment in which the cells in my brain could be happy and healthy enough that they could regain their function. In addition, because of my training, I had an innate trust in the ability of my brain to be able to recover itself and my mother and I respected the organ by listening to it. For example, when I was tired, I allowed my brain to sleep, and when I was fresh and capable of focusing my attention, we gave me age-appropriate toys and tools with which to work. Amazon.com: Your stroke affected functions in your left brain, leaving you to what you call the "la-la land" of your right hemisphere. What was it like to live in your right brain, and then to rebuild your left? Taylor: When the cells in my left brain became nonfunctional because they were swimming in a pool of blood, they lost their ability to inhibit the cells in my right hemisphere. In my right brain, I shifted into the consciousness of the present moment. I was in the right here, right now awareness, with no memories of my past and no perception of the future. The beauty of La-la land (my right hemisphere experience of the present moment) was that everything was an explosion of magnificent stimulation and I dwelled in a space of euphoria. This is great way to exist if you don't have to communicate with the external world or care whether or not you have the capacity to learn. I found that in order for me to be able to learn anything, however, I had to take information from the last moment and apply it to the present moment. When my left hemisphere was completely nonfunctional early on, it was impossible for me to learn, which was okay with me, but I am sure it was frustrating for those around me. A simple example of this was trying to put on my shoes and socks. I eventually became physically capable of putting my shoes and socks on, but I had no ability to understand why I would have to put my socks on before my shoes. To me they were simply independent actions that were not related and I did not have the cognitive ability to figure out the appropriate sequencing of the events. Over time, I regained the ability to weave moments back together to create an expanse of time, and with this ability came the ability to learn methodically again. Life in La-la land will always be just a thought away, but I am truly grateful for the ability to think with linearity once again. Amazon.com: What can we learn about our brains and ourselves from your experience, even if we haven't lived through the kind of brain trauma you have? Taylor: I learned that I have much more say about what goes on between my ears than I was ever taught and I believe that this is true for all of us. I used to understand that I had the ability to stop thinking about one thing by consciously choosing to preoccupy my mind with thinking about something else. But I had no idea that it only took 90 seconds for me to have an emotional circuit triggered, flush a physiological response through my body and then flush completely out of me. We can all learn that we can take full responsibility for what thoughts we are thinking and what emotional circuitry we are feeling. Knowing this and acting on this can lead us into feeling a wonderful sense of well-being and peacefulness. Amazon.com: You are the "Singin' Scientist" for Harvard's Brain Bank (just as you were before your stroke). Could you tell us about the Brain Bank (in song or not)? Taylor: There is a long-term shortage of brain tissue donated for research into the severe mental illnesses. Most people dont realize that when you sign the back of your license as an organ donor, the brain is not included. If you would like to donate your brain for research, you must contact a brain bank directly. There is also a shortage of "normal control" tissue for research. The bottom line reality is that if there were more tissue available for research, then more scientists would be dedicating their careers to the study of the severe mental illnesses and we would have more answers about what is going on with these disorders. The numbers of mentally ill individuals in our society are staggering. The most serious and disabling conditions affect about 6 percent--or one in 17--adults and 9-13 percent of children in the United States. Half of all lifetime conditions of mental illness start by age 14 years, and three-fourths by age 24 years. For more information about brain donation to the Harvard brain bank, please call 1-800-BRAINBANK or visit them at: www.brainbank.mclean.org If you would like to hear me sing the brain bank jingle, please visit www.drjilltaylor.com!

这本书是一个brain scientist记录了自己脑中风之后以及漫长恢复的过程。前半部分还挺有意思的,老实说后半部分有点儿太唯心,神叨叨了。
读完最大的感触,原来大脑出问题后,曾经一切“合理”的部分可能都不复存在。举例来说,察觉到自己可能有stroke之后理所当然就是打电话911求助,但是脑子那个时候可能已经不能把“我的身体出了严重的问题”和“我应该立刻打电话求助”联系起来了。她的大脑功能在中风后迅速退化,从给同事打电话还能蹦一点词,到再给自己的医生打电话已经一句话都说不出来了。逐渐感受到自己受伤更严重,没有办法有足够的能力求助,而且因为她独居,中风发生在她要出门上班之前,所以没有人能立刻注意到并且伸出援手,这个感受很可怕。她后来的恢复过程,让我很是感慨人类身体的resilience。
最打动我的是她妈妈从外地赶来照顾她,虽然那个时候她因为中风有点儿模糊和妈妈之间的关系,但是妈妈一把抱过她,让她回到小时候妈妈的温暖怀抱。

The Almanack of Naval Ravikant Eggplant.place 豆瓣
8.8 (24 个评分) 作者: Naval Ravikant / Eric Jorgenson Magrathea Publishing 2020 - 9
Getting rich is not just about luck; happiness is not just a trait we are born with. These aspirations may seem out of reach, but building wealth and being happy are skills we can learn.
So what are these skills, and how do we learn them? What are the principles that should guide our efforts? What does progress really look like?
Naval Ravikant is an entrepreneur, philosopher, and investor who has captivated the world with his principles for building wealth and creating long-term happiness. The Almanack of Naval Ravikant is a collection of Naval’s wisdom and experience from the last ten years, shared as a curation of his most insightful interviews and poignant reflections. This isn’t a how-to book, or a step-by-step gimmick. Instead, through Naval’s own words, you will learn how to walk your own unique path toward a happier, wealthier life.
This book has been created as a public service. It is available for free download in pdf and e-reader versions on Navalmanack.com. Naval is not earning any money on this book. Naval has essays, podcasts and more at Nav.al and is on Twitter @Naval.

短小精悍,我挺喜欢,甚至觉得可以隔一段时间再拿出来读一下。
关于人生的鸡汤我读的也不少,他这个绝对是最真诚的,没有之一。
不过我喜欢还有一个私心是他也吐槽宏观经济学,但是觉得微观有趣又有用哈哈。当年学高级微观的时候是我脑子最活跃也是最开心的时候。
另外他的推荐书单也非常合我的胃口,把李小龙当哲学家看,对基础学科数学和物理的重视,还有他强推了姜峯楠和费曼。
我喜欢的两句,一个是内心的平和和幸福更多是选择,是长期锻炼brain muscle之后得来的。还有If you can’t decide, the answer is No.

Remember that the people we are talking to are a hundred times more interested in themselves and their own problems than they are in us and our problems. 哈哈这句足矣。什么时候意识到社交场合里人家根本不那么在乎你,出糗的压力就会小很多啊。
另外我是能亲身体会酒精take the edge off的效应的,我这么个超级社恐,喝了几杯酒连婚礼都能主持,想想看有多诱惑。不过幸亏我平日里也不喜欢酒精,没有沉溺于酒精能带来的放松感中,不然真是得不偿失了。

La Différence invisible
8.6 (23 个评分) 作者: [法]朱莉·达什 著 / [法]卡罗琳小姐 绘 译者: 万洁 北京联合出版公司 2019 - 3
玛格丽特27岁,是个很普通的女孩。她喜欢动物,喜欢阳光灿烂的天气,也喜欢她的小猫发出的呼噜呼噜的声音。从外表上,你看不出她和其他女孩的区别,但玛格丽特的确与众不同。她不喜欢生活里的变动,上下班要走一样的路,甚至早餐都要吃一样的东西。她对人群和噪声格外敏感。她很难听懂同事开的玩笑,也不理解其他人委婉的表达。她不知道自己为什么和其他人不同,直到有一天,她知道了一个名词——孤独症。

有点伤感的是,接纳自我最终也还是靠医生的一纸论断。另外看这书里的内容,职场也好,男朋友也好,亲戚家人也好,垃圾男邻居也好,烂起来全世界都一个狗样,可不分什么文明社会。书里有点点刻画成因为女主人翁是阿斯伯格病症才遭到了这样的对待,哎。
不过女性更难被诊断这个科普的点我记下来了。

袁枚
7.7 (11 个评分) 作者: 陈伟明 / 袁枚 中华书局 2010 - 9
身为乾隆才子、诗坛盟主,袁枚一生著述颇丰。作为一位美食家,《随园食单》是其四十年美食实践的产物。作者以随笔的形式,细腻地描摹了乾隆年间江浙地区的饮食状况与烹饪技术,用大量的篇幅详细记述了我国14至18世纪流行的326种南北菜肴饭点,也介绍了当时的美酒名茶,是我国清代一部非常重要的饮食名著。
全书分为须知单、戒单、海鲜单、江鲜单、特牲单、杂牲单、羽族单、水族有鳞单、水族无鳞单、杂素单、小菜单、点心单、饭粥单和菜酒单十四个方面。自问世以来,这部书被公认为厨者的经典。

三百年前的人啊,感觉比咱们大部分人吃得精细多了!很多菜式听着很熟悉哎。
话说比起书里的食不厌精,感觉袁枚无意间提到在X大官X将领X文人吃的私厨XXX,暗搓搓秀出来的交游广阔更让人印象深刻= =
居然没有讲水果哎,可能过去保鲜长途运输能力不太行吧哈哈。

梵高 豆瓣
Vincent
8.9 (11 个评分) 作者: [荷]芭芭拉·施托克 译者: 郭腾杰 人民文学出版社 2018 - 11
《梵高》是荷兰漫画家芭芭拉•施托克所绘著图像小说,也是荷兰被翻译最多的图像小说。
画家文森特•梵高一生的起伏,至今仍是人们不竭的灵感源泉。在这个故事中,漫画家芭芭拉•施托克带领读者一窥梵高居住在法国南部的岁月,同时也是其生命中的最后几年。
这是一个紧凑的时期:梵高在阿尔勒的梦想,是为自己和他的艺术界朋友们成立一间“艺术家之家”。但是,在一次精神病发中,他突然彻底迷失了自己,病情在不光彩的割耳事件后达到高潮,也使得这个梦想分崩离析。
梵高对对他的专业充满了热情。他对成功、挫折和有意义的人生的想法,在我们充斥着个人主义和经济思想的当代,型塑了一种有趣的抗衡。
怕魚的男人 豆瓣
作者: 李隆杰 時報出版 2015 - 6
我很怕魚,非常怕魚,當我看見魚類的眼神時,我確定牠們正在吞噬我的靈魂。-
台灣首次以魚類恐懼症為靈感發想的原創故事!
「Ichthyophobia」這複雜的英文字最直接的翻譯就是「魚類恐懼症」。
全書沒有任何對白的《怕魚的男人》,是近年在國際獲得眾多矚目的傑出青年漫畫家李隆杰的半自傳式最新代表作。共收錄了:《信仰-Faith》、《愛情-Love》、《狩獵-Hunt》、《決鬥-Duel》、《威脅-Threat》、《逃亡-Escape》和《安息-Rest in peace》七篇在《亞細亞原創誌》長達兩年的精彩連載內容。在每一回精彩的人魚大戰故事背後,其實都隱藏著一位憂鬱青年、以極細膩的、認真的、深情的透過漫畫的每一格畫面傳達屬於他內心深處的刻骨銘心感受。
《怕魚的男人》中,作者放棄了電腦繪圖,維持最純粹的手繪方式,每一格充滿強烈戲劇張力的畫面,都是作者一筆一畫在一張張畫紙上淬鍊出的動人精華。全書完美展現了屬於台灣漫畫原創作者的堅毅個性和藝術魅力。

翻开书回忆扑面而来。没想到这里面很多地方我好熟悉的,有的是住过的街道,有的是出门买小吃要经过的路,有些是每日上班走过的路,有些是买菜买花买甜品买烧味的菜市场,有些看照片和画很亲切,不过我不记得是夜晚散步偶遇,还是只在梦里去过了。也许我真遇见过,只是不知未来何时,能再去验证一番啦。
最近听月球上的人,有句歌词是,“从未来再见 遗憾旧时不太会恋爱”。遗憾恋爱说不上,但是遗憾没能更好地去游历还是有的。我想自己也是搬来搬去住过一些地方的人了,年轻时有时间有腿脚,若是多点心思,也许可以走过更多,了解更多当地的角落和旧事。读毕小小声叹息,当时只道是寻常,或许现在也不迟。
