内容简介:
精致的小书,大面的空白,每页一句简短又不简单的问题。有关爱情、生活、成长、家庭与信仰的诘问,一刻不停地充斥在读这本书的过程中。这就是这本有趣的书。
精彩书摘:
-For a person you loved deeply, would you be willing to move to a distant country knowing there would be little chance of seeing your friends or family again?
-You discover your wonderful one-year-old child is ,because of a mix-up at the hospital, not yours. Would you want to exchange the child try to correct the mistake?
-If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the body or the mind of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life ,which would you want?
-What is the worst psychological torture you can imagine suffering? Anything causing even minor physical injury should not be considered.
-What if you had to choose the 10 people who would die? Would you rather have someone else in the group make the decision even though you might be picked to die?
写作分析:
作者斯多克发表过许多有关天性的书,这本书是他选取了最讨喜的角度的杰作。没有目录,只有简要的介绍,每页纸空白占了绝大的比例,这就像是在和读者讲,问题就在那,也许很短,而答案这块,只能由你来写。
这点可以借鉴在日常设计和交流演讲中,留白有时远比灌输效果要好,不管有没有答案,自己总能说服自己,而自己也要承担结果。
感受评价:
这是一本要人花费心思、不停地扪心自问的小书,我想说,在这些问题里,没有是非,没有对错,没有答案,它一直在问:你是谁?你从哪里来?你要到哪里去?
也许隔开每个人的不是现实中的问题,而是心中的选择。我们没必要一定给出答案,但要记得随时,心中的那些矛盾、秘密和欲望都有可能冲涌而出,希望来时,不要逃避。
一直认为存在两个自己,一个理性睿智,一个感性丰富,在遇到任何问题的时候他们都会冲出来争个你死我活,究竟哪个才是真的我呢?还是 我不能接受真实的自己?
突然想起这些问题可以用于辅助行测的面试,虽然未必能得到可参考的答案,但却真实能看穿面试者的思考。人的内心总有像海一般深沉的时候,如果这样,我们拿什么去找寻那条珠光斑斓的鱼?很多时候如果我们不去揭开自己心绪的伤疤,那里就会永远一片狼藉,真相就再也不见。
问自己问题吧,就算没人共鸣,也要自己确信。
