by 馬修.李卡德, 克里斯多福.安得烈, 亞歷山大.喬連安
Language: Chinese
Release Date: May 1, 2017

★榮獲誠品選書推薦 ★橫掃法國各大暢銷榜冠軍,上市一週再刷15萬冊!銷售逾35萬冊! ★全法最推崇,合計坐擁400萬追隨者的科學家僧侶、精神科醫師、暢銷哲學家, 10天暢談80個小時,關於生命重要問題的精采問答! 三個老朋友, 三種關於「人」的專業、三種面對人生的智慧, 從不同的生活經驗中叩問: 是什麼帶給生命喜樂和痛苦? 應該如何安住此生? 哲學家、精神科醫師和佛教僧侶,多年來一直想合寫一本書。 三人因為這個企畫而相聚十天,就他們認為生命中最重要的問題促膝長談。 不是辯論,而是傾盡真心的深度交會。 他們的觀點意見不盡一致,但目的都是盡可能減少人生的痛苦和消極情緒,啟發人追求幸福的潛能,發現和發掘「利他」的人生動機,從而獲得真正自由幸福的人生。 希望讀者能從這本書裡感受到我們在交流時的勤奮認真,以及歡樂氣氛,感受到我們即席而發的精神。 我們竭力使談話具有一貫性,不致散漫無章。也希望把想法充分向讀者傳達。 現在就請在我們身邊坐下來,坐在一張椅子上,或者是更靠近我們一點,和我們一起坐在舒適的舊沙發上。 壁爐裡的火畢畢剝剝響著,窗外是隨河谷開展的景色。 冬天的太陽漸漸變蒼白,茶壺裡的茶冒著熱氣,暖了手,也刺激了我們的心神。 亞歷山大淘氣起來,說了個笑話;馬修扶一扶他的眼鏡,擊掌叮嚀大家專心一點;克里斯多福再看一眼他前一天晚上寫在小筆記本上的筆記(他知道他狡猾的伙伴經常會轉頭看他,要他第一個發表意見)。 談話就要開始了,現在就只缺讀者您了…… 關於「與身體同行」──克里斯多福 *像尊重大自然一樣地尊重我們的身體。 身體並不屬於我們專有,就像大自然不屬於我們。我們不過是地球的房客,好比我們是身體的房客。我們的身體在死後會被收回,就如同大自然在我們死後會繼續存在一樣。 *接受並愛惜我們的衰老。 把「老」看做是一個幫助,協助我們不再依戀自己的身體,並藉此準備離開它。沒有遺憾地、輕輕緩緩地離開,就像離開一個暫時借我們的東西那樣,我們的身體也將為未來的世代所回收。 關於「好好運用情緒」──馬修 *讓你的注意力變銳利,以便在負面情緒浮現之時就能有所意識。熄滅星星之火比撲滅森林大火容易。 *學習更了解自己的情緒。訓練自己分辨對自己和他人身心安泰有益的,以及會摧毀這些的事物。 *一旦負面情緒明顯帶來了不良後果,那就快向它的解藥靠攏,也就是尋求正面情緒的幫助。 *持續培養正面情緒,直到正面情緒成為我們不可分離的一部分。 關於「面對自我」──亞歷山大 *照顧好自己。 為了擺脫「自我」,或至少讓「自我」沉靜,確實將自己照顧好,並且辨別出真正感到喜樂的事物。否則在我們挫折、痛苦、忿忿不平的時候,「自我」便會激盪起來。 *「我是誰?」 覺得焦慮時,立刻問自己:是「誰」在害怕?辨別出那即使是在騷亂中也總是藏在內心深處的安寧所在。 *把感激他人當做「精神操練」。 以具體行動幫助他人,投入團結互助這個無限迴圈裡。 【各界好評】 詹宏志(PChome...
