[内容简介] ☆ 一个你认为颇有价值的决定在别人眼里可能一文不值,一个人眼中的恐怖分子可能是另一个人心中的自由战士——为什么人与人、群体、党派、政府与民众、宗教派别、甚至国家之间总是存在不可调和的矛盾?虽然人类社会被划分为不同的道德阵营,但人们真的就不能好好相处吗 ? ☆ 美国当代最伟大的心理学家、纽约大学商学院教授、TED演讲人乔纳森•海特认为,我们并非像自以为的那么理性和正义,正义之心凝聚人心,但也具有盲目性。“道德”有时会是制造纷争的根源,因为人人都以为自己是正义的化身,这让我们轻易去批评、厌恶、甚至干涉相异于己的信念,这也正是造成人与人之间隔阂和冲突的原因。 ☆ 在《正义之心》中,海特教授从道德的社会直觉模型讲到道德的6个基础,继而详细阐述我们具有群体归属性的正义之心,书中立足于详尽的科学研究回答了人们该如何跨越宗教与政治分歧,从而达成互相理解以促成合作型社会的建立这一目标。这是一本令人惊奇又极富挑战性和说服力的经典著作,读者会在阅读过程中瞠目结舌,最后恍然大悟、心服口服。 [编辑推荐] ☆ 著名心理学家、坦普尔顿积极心理学奖获得者、伟大的思想家、积极心理学先锋派领袖、畅销书《象与骑象人》作者、TED演讲人乔纳森•海特最新力作。 ☆ “人类认识自我本性的里程碑著作。”——《纽约时报书评》 ☆ 道德心理学的革命。 ☆ 为什么人类会因政治与宗教产生分歧?人类的正义之心到底从何而来,又将往何处而去? ☆ 涵盖道德心理学、社会心理学、神经系统学、遗传学、发展心理学和认知科学的经典著作,汇集了这些领域中最新的科学研究与成果。 ☆ 湛庐文化出品。

最令我有所收获的,是作者发现的道德的六个基本模块,关爱,公平,自由,权威,忠诚和圣洁。这分别对应人与弱小,同侪,强者,群体和超自然力量之间的关系。

他应用这六个模块的道德框架到政治派别的分析上,又给政治心理学做出了贡献。
结合着道德的直觉先行和美国政治自由派和保守派的区别,海特解释了美国政治派别的道德地图和权重,以及弥合两党分歧所面临的困难。

海特的写作,挺善于运用比喻的。在 象与骑象人中 他把人的 理性控制过程 和 情感反应过程 分别比喻为骑象人和大象,对于他阐述幸福假设就非常有用。本书里,他又将人类的个体性群体性的双重性,用了蜜蜂和黑猩猩做比喻,也非常生动的描述了人类时而自私时而又陷入“群体欢腾”状态为集体风险的状态的图景。

Douban
This Program Will Change the Way You Think About Work (And Everything Else . . . )   Imagine going to work each day feeling energized, excited, and ready for anything that comes your way. No more struggling with stress or burnout. No more personality clashes. Impossible? Not according to Michael A. Singer, who served as founding CEO of a billion-dollar corporation where this fantastic vision became a reality every day of the week. Before he was the author of The Untethered Soul and The Surrender Experiment, Singer was working at his own company exploring and refining the spiritual insights and tools he would share with millions through his bestselling books. With The Untethered Soul at Work, join him for a rare audio presentation on applying these insights in your own workplace. This two-part program brings you practical wisdom on ten common business challenges including finding fulfillment at work, the art of conscious communication, creativity and problem-solving, and much more. “Everything that happens at work is a chance for us to offer our full selves—our love, our passion, our creativity—in service of the miraculous moment unfolding before us,” explains Singer. The Untethered Soul at Work will transform the way you think about the concept of work, while opening you to greater joy, connection, and satisfaction in your own chosen field.

On Bullshit
Douban Goodreads Skybridge
★ 8.3 7 ratings
Harry G. Frankfurt publishing house: Princeton University Press 2005 - 1
One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted. Most people are rather confident of their ability to recognize bullshit and to avoid being taken in by it. So the phenomenon has not aroused much deliberate concern. We have no clear understanding of what bullshit is, why there is so much of it, or what functions it serves. And we lack a conscientiously developed appreciation of what it means to us. In other words, as Harry Frankfurt writes, 'we have no theory'. Frankfurt, one of the world's most influential moral philosophers, attempts to build such a theory here. With his characteristic combination of philosophical acuity, psychological insight, and wry humor, Frankfurt proceeds by exploring how bullshit and the related concept of humbug are distinct from lying. He argues that bullshitters misrepresent themselves to their audience not as liars do, that is, by deliberately making false claims about what is true. In fact, bullshit need not be untrue at all. Rather, bullshitters seek to convey a certain impression of themselves without being concerned about whether anything at all is true. They quietly change the rules governing their end of the conversation so that claims about truth and falsity are irrelevant. Frankfurt concludes that although bullshit can take many innocent forms, excessive indulgence in it can eventually undermine the practitioner's capacity to tell the truth in a way that lying does not. Liars at least acknowledge that it matters what is true. By virtue of this, Frankfurt writes, bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.
Feline Philosophy
Feline Philosophy Douban Goodreads
John Gray / John N. Gray publishing house: Farrar, Straus and Giroux 2020 - 11 other title: Feline Philosophy: Cats and the Meaning of Life
The author of Straw Dogs, famous for his provocative critiques of scientific hubris and the delusions of progress and humanism, turns his attention to cats―and what they reveal about humans' torturous relationship to the world and to themselves. The history of philosophy has been a predictably tragic or comical succession of palliatives for human disquiet. Thinkers from Spinoza to Berdyaev have pursued the perennial questions of how to be happy, how to be good, how to be loved, and how to live in a world of change and loss. But perhaps we can learn more from cats--the animal that has most captured our imagination--than from the great thinkers of the world. In Feline Philosophy, the philosopher John Gray discovers in cats a way of living that is unburdened by anxiety and self-consciousness, showing how they embody answers to the big questions of love and attachment, mortality, morality, and the Self: Montaigne's house cat, whose un-examined life may have been the one worth living; Meo, the Vietnam War survivor with an unshakable capacity for "fearless joy"; and Colette's Saha, the feline heroine of her subversive short story "The Cat", a parable about the pitfalls of human jealousy. Exploring the nature of cats, and what we can learn from it, Gray offers a profound, thought-provoking meditation on the follies of human exceptionalism and our fundamentally vulnerable and lonely condition. He charts a path toward a life without illusions and delusions, revealing how we can endure both crisis and transformation, and adapt to a changed scene, as cats have always done.
Finite and Infinite Games
Douban Goodreads Skybridge
James P. Carse publishing house: Free Press 2013 - 1
“There are at least two kinds of games,” states James P. Carse as he begins this extraordinary book. “One could be called finite; the other infinite.” Finite games are the familiar contests of everyday life; they are played in order to be won, which is when they end. But infinite games are more mysterious. Their object is not winning, but ensuring the continuation of play. The rules may change, the boundaries may change, even the participants may change—as long as the game is never allowed to come to an end. What are infinite games? How do they affect the ways we play our finite games? What are we doing when we play—finitely or infinitely? And how can infinite games affect the ways in which we live our lives? Carse explores these questions with stunning elegance, teasing out of his distinctions a universe of observation and insight, noting where and why and how we play, finitely and infinitely. He surveys our world—from the finite games of the playing field and playing board to the infinite games found in culture and religion—leaving all we think we know illuminated and transformed. Along the way, Carse finds new ways of understanding everything, from how an actress portrays a role to how we engage in sex, from the nature of evil to the nature of science. Finite games, he shows, may offer wealth and status, power and glory, but infinite games offer something far more subtle and far grander. Carse has written a book rich in insight and aphorism. Already an international literary event, Finite and Infinite Games is certain to be argued about and celebrated for years to come. Reading it is the first step in learning to play the infinite game.

我见过的不幸太多了,从来没有沮丧过。 ——陈年喜 这本书收录了陈年喜21篇非虚构故事集。 书中写了一群平凡而朴素的劳动者的故事。 他们是爆破工、运石工、乡村木匠、农夫、农妇、小作坊老板…… 而作家自己的故事,贯穿始终:在地下五千米开山炸石,在烟尘和轰鸣中养家糊口,在工棚和山野中写下诗篇,记录命运的爆裂和寂静。 他们虽历经生活的磨砺,却淳朴而硬扎,沉静地诉说关于亲情、爱情、死亡、欲望的生活主题…… 这是一本生命的书,也是死亡的书,归根到底,是一本生活的书。 世界是什么样子?生活是什么样子?我的感觉里,除了绵长、无处不在的风,其余都是尘埃,我们在其中奔突,努力站稳,但更多的时候是东倒西歪,身不由己。

不要去想那个广袤的世界,只要为自己而活就好。 能够做自己,真的是件奢侈又幸福的事情! 生活的每一刻都是平常却也特别的,因为每一刻的我们都是新的自己,反复地感受生活的进行,反而成了最有趣的事。 主角麦本三步是在大学图书馆工作的二十来岁的女生。早上爱赖床,喜欢奶酪发糕、波路梦的零食,还有书。周遭其他人对她的形容是“总是在发呆”“总是在狂吃”“是个小糊涂虫”等。然而,三步很擅长在理所当然的日常生活中,将喜欢的事物串联起来,让自己的每一天都过得耀眼又愉快。这样的三步令人倍感亲切,从三步的世界能看到日常没有留意过的纯粹与感动。也许,那些乍看无聊乏味的生活,如果我们用显微镜看,每一个时刻都正在闪闪发亮呢。

轻松写就58本书和上百篇论文的卡片盒笔记写作法! 德国著名学者卢曼基于学习心理学的洞察,借鉴久经考验的笔记技术,使用卡片盒笔记写作法,积累了 9万张知识卡片,一生中写了 58本书和上百篇论文。 本书是该系统的第一本中文综合指南和说明,本书分为三个部分,第一个部分从写作知识、写作准备、写作能力和注意事项四个角度概述写作的基本问题;第二部分总结了有效写作的四个原则;第三部分是成功写作的六个步骤。详细解释了卡片盒笔记写作法的工作原理和具体写作方法,这一方法可以帮助我们将精力集中在真正重要的事情上——思考、理解和提出新的写作思路,而不用将时间浪费在寻找笔记、资料或参考文献上。 无论你喜欢用笔和纸,还是喜欢在Windows、Mac或Linux上做笔记都没关系,这个方法都能够轻松应用。  德国的卢曼被称为“当代黑格尔”,是马克思和韦伯之后,百年一遇的具备天才卓识的大师。作为20世纪社会理论界的一颗明星,卢曼以其辉煌作品的灿烂光芒,照耀着整个20世纪下半叶西方当代社会理论的发展进程。他的写作方式别具一格,37岁才投身学术界,并只用了一年时间就获得了在德国很难获得的博士学位。他生前发表了58本书,及数百篇文章,不仅高产,而且《社会的社会》、《社会的艺术》等都成为影响深远的新经典。在本书中详细公开他成就背后的秘密——卡片笔记写作法,即使普通人不一定能够著作等身,但一定不再为写作发愁。  从根本上改变写作难,学会卢曼的卡片笔记写作法,将会发现无论是写论文、还是写书都不再是不可能实现的任务。传统先定写作目标和计划,自上而下地写,所以会感觉被逼无奈、事倍功半,而卡片笔记法是从平日就已经在构建自己的知识库,等有灵感的时候,才提取储备的知识,所以写起来兴致盎然。  本书的作者借鉴了卢曼的卡片笔记写作法,所以这本书也算是一个学习成果,每个见解都综合了许多商业、心理学的相关研究,不仅提高了写作技能,也全面提升学习技能。英文版豆瓣评分8.8,想读近3000人,受欢迎程度可见一斑。 2020年,有两件事情深刻影响了我。阅读本书的英文版,便是其中的一件。多少年记笔记过程中的痛点,都被这本书娓娓道来,并且采用了令人信服、可执行的方法来破解。笔记不再是那“被忘却的纪念”,而是构成了一张硕大的思维之网,可以找到,可以积累,可以偶遇。这种方法升级的快感,我已经多年没有体会到了。感谢译者陈琳将本书原汁原味地翻译成了中文。让更多读者有机会重新找回记笔记的激情与乐趣。 ——王树义,天津师范大学副教授,玉树芝兰公众号主理人 卢曼的“盒中笔记”通常很简短,因为这些只是他庞大繁杂研究中的索引,等需要时,他会借由这些线头进行延伸思考,然后不断链接知识要点,从而形成自己的知识树。你也可以试试。 ——姬十三 果壳CEO 很有趣的书,用这个方法可以不断积累笔记,形成终身学习、提高自我的习惯。 ——亲子手帐达人、笔记大V温言 每天写6张卡片笔记,一年就可以完成博士论文,你信吗?20世纪最伟大的社会理论学家卢曼教授就是这样做的。这本书详细地介绍了卢曼从阅读到记笔记到写作的整个工作流程及其背后的认知原理。真希望十年前的自己知道这个卡片盒笔记法,强烈推荐每一个学生、科研工作者、作家、终身学习者都阅读这本书并认真地实践它。 ——李娟 北京大学博士,加州大学伯克利分校博士后,雪小豹说公众号主理人 卡片写作有很多流派,卢曼卡片盒写作法尤其合适学术写作与信息密度大的写作。本书是国内第一本系统介绍如何将卢曼盒卡片写作法应用到写作中的图书,值得向读者推荐。期待你从此成为一名卡片写作爱好者,享受写作的乐趣。 ——阳志平 安人心智董事长,心智工具箱公众号作者 这是一本教会你如何从思考到整理,最后形成个人知识结构过程的书。让信息生长并自然地形成网络,如同人类大脑一样,你会重新认识“笔记”这件事。 ——马锐拉,wolai我来笔记 创始人 把《卡片笔记写作法》当作一本写作书籍看,当然不错,但如果把它看作一本思考方法书,可能收获更多。不过,我认为它最有价值的地方在于给我们展示了一种可能性:如何建立一个有生命的组织系统来应对不确定的未来。我从这个视角的阅读中受益良多,相信你也能从这本书中找到自己的乐趣。 --成甲《好好思考》作者

看到有的短评说书里没有具体讲怎么记笔记。我想了想,书里说的很清楚,就是用自己的话把读到的书里有启发的地方详细阐述清楚。这种训练,上过小学初中的人,都接受过这种训练:就是我们上语文课时的总结段落大意,中心思想。这里不同的是,你记得笔记没有标准答案,一切以你自己的答案为准。本书的重点是,在有了笔记之后,如何使用它们,使其成为思考,研究,和表达的有力辅助工具。简单来说,就是将笔记之间建立联系,并且时时回顾之。在这套流程里,新想法会因为笔记的丰富而产生,新文章会因为笔记的联系而自己冒出来,也会让人更容易查漏补缺,完善自己的思想。 这套笔记系统,就是让卡片帮助大脑完成其不擅长的记忆功能,从而解放大脑,让其做其擅长和不可替代的任务:思考!

多数人向往良好的生活,却只有少数人了解它的前提。你的人生也许就差这本哲学书,牛津大学出版社畅销哲学普及读物,不朽经典《沉思录》当下生活践行版。古老的斯多葛智慧赋予你全新的目光,让你重新审视和把握生活,增强行动力,获得内心的愉悦与宁静。 西方哲学不朽名作《沉思录》践行版! 像古罗马人那样高贵地生活! 人生最大的焦虑之一就是:无论我们如何努力,在人生的终点我们都有可能发现自己虚耗了生命。而在《像哲学家一样生活:斯多葛哲学的生活艺术》一书中,作者威廉· 欧文教授运用斯多葛主义哲学深邃的心理探索与有效的实践技巧,为我们描绘了新生命的路线图。 几千年来,世界改变了许多,但人类心灵的变化却非常有限,今日人们饱受各种消极情感之苦,和前人面临一样的羞辱、悲伤、衰老,我们甚至比前人面临更多的焦虑、诱惑、竞争,但我们仍然束手无策。斯多葛哲学是古罗马最流行、最成功的思想流派,作为人类行为敏锐的观察者,他们深谙世事以及人性之幽明,因此斯多葛哲学家们的实践技巧和生活忠告对现代生活有着高度的适用性和神奇的指导性,其生活的艺术能让我们减低焦虑,释怀过去,把心力聚焦于生命中能够控制的事务上;能让我们更好地对付羞辱、悲伤、衰老,坦然地面对声名与诱惑。我们从马可·奥勒留那里学会取舍,从爱比克泰德那里学会从有限的生活中获得更大的满足,当然,这种生活的艺术还能彻底治愈折磨现代人的心理慢性病症——对生活无休无止的不满足感,让我们的心归于从容和安宁。 本书虽是哲学读物,却没有学究气息,没有高言大志,没有玄思幻想,有的是简洁、明晰、流畅。因为建基于博大精深的哲学思想之上,因而它不提供廉价的励志泡沫,而把古圣先贤行之有效的深刻洞见一一呈现。斯多葛哲学家的过人之处正在于,他们不但是深刻的思想家,而且是行之有效的实践者。本书即聚焦于斯多葛哲学的实践方面。阅读《像哲学家一样生活》是一个不断与欣喜相遇的过程,先贤们所提出的疗治之法,简单明了,直击要害,代价微而功效巨,如消极想象、控制的两分法、宿命论等技巧,虽称为技巧,其实植根于深厚的人类心理,一见之下,便豁然开朗、永难忘怀。 《像哲学家一样生活:斯多葛哲学的生活艺术》还能教会读者如何成为自己生命的观察者与哲人。在生命的历程中注意观察并基于观察反思自己,我们就能更好地找到焦虑的源头,避免种种痛苦,真正创造快乐的生命。 你若渴望生活的改变,请拿起这本《像哲学家一样生活》。 大多数哲学作品都将自己的内容定格在其理论介绍上,试图研究学派的逻辑性和实体性,而本书《像哲学家一样生活:斯多葛哲学的生活艺术》则更多地将关注点锁定在斯多葛主义哲学的实践应用上。斯多葛哲学是古罗马最流行、最成功的思想流派,其生活的艺术能让我们减少焦虑,释怀过去,能让我们更好地对付羞辱、悲伤、衰老,坦然地面对声名与财富的诱惑,还能彻底治愈折磨现代人的心理慢性病症——对生活无休无止的不满足感,让我们的内心归于从容和安宁。 斯多葛哲学家的过人之处在于,他们不但是深刻的思想家,而且是行之有效的实践者。本书即聚焦于斯多葛哲学的实践方面,诸如:消极想象(能发生的最坏结果是什么),控制的二分法(论变得无敌),宿命论(放下过去……以及现在),自我否定(论应对快乐的阴暗面),责任(论热爱人类),社会关系(论与人交往),侮辱(论容忍奚落),悲伤(论用理性战胜眼泪),愤怒(论战胜反快乐),个人价值观(论沽名钓誉),老年(论被赶到养老院),死亡(论良好生活的善终)……本书可谓斯多葛哲学不朽巨著《沉思录》的践行版。

George Packer publishing house: Farrar, Straus and Giroux 2013 - 5
American democracy is beset by a sense of crisis. Seismic shifts during a single generation have created a country of winners and loser s, allowing unprecedented freedom while rending the social contract, driving the political system to the verge of breakdown, and setting citizens adrift to find new paths forward. In The Unwinding, George Packer, author of The Assassins’ Gate: America in Iraq, tells the story of the United States over the past three decades in an utterly original way, with his characteristically sharp eye for detail and gift for weaving together complex narratives. The Unwinding journeys through the lives of several Americans, including Dean Price, the son of tobacco farmers, who becomes an evangelist for a new economy in the rural South; Tammy Thomas, a factory worker in the Rust Belt trying to survive the collapse of her city; Jeff Connaughton, a Washington insider oscillating between political idealism and the lure of organized money; and Peter Thiel, a Silicon Valley billionaire who questions the Internet’s significance and arrives at a radical vision of the future. Packer interweaves these intimate stories with biographical sketches of the era’s leading public figures, from Newt Gingrich to Jay-Z, and collages made from newspaper headlines, advertising slogans, and song lyrics that capture the flow of events and their undercurrents. The Unwinding portrays a superpower in danger of coming apart at the seams, its elites no longer elite, its institutions no longer working, its ordinary people left to improvise their own schemes for success and salvation. Packer’s novelistic and kaleidoscopic history of the new America is his most ambitious work to date.
Ghosting the News

Margaret Sullivan publishing house: Columbia Global Reports 2020 - 7
An Epidemic of News Deserts and Ghost Papers Ghosting the News tells the most troubling media story of our time: How democracy suffers when local news dies. From 2004 to 2015, 1,800 print newspaper outlets closed in the U.S. One in five news organizations in Canada have closed since 2008. One in three Brazilians live in new deserts. The absence of accountability journalism has created an atmosphere in which indicted politicians were elected, school superintendents were mismanaging districts, and police chiefs were getting mysterious payouts. This is not the much discussed fake-news problem—it’s the separate problem of a critical shortage of real news. America’s premier media critic, Margaret Sullivan, charts the contours of the damage, and surveys a range of new efforts to keep local news alive—from non-profit digital sites to an effort modeled on the Peace Corps. No nostalgic paean to the roar of rumbling presses, Ghosting the News instead sounds a loud alarm, alerting citizens to a growing crisis in local news that has already done serious damage.

A celebrated writers irresistible, candid, and eloquent account of her pursuit of worldly pleasure, spiritual devotion, and what she really wanted out of life Around the time Elizabeth Gilbert turned thirty, she went through an early-onslaught midlife crisis. She had everything an educated, ambitious American woman was supposed to wanta husband, a house, a successful career. But instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed with panic, grief, and confusion. She went through a divorce, a crushing depression, another failed love, and the eradication of everything she ever thought she was supposed to be. To recover from all this, Gilbert took a radical step. In order to give herself the time and space to find out who she really was and what she really wanted, she got rid of her belongings, quit her job, and undertook a yearlong journey around the worldall alone. Eat, Pray, Love is the absorbing chronicle of that year. Her aim was to visit three places where she could examine one aspect of her own nature set against the backdrop of a culture that has traditionally done that one thing very well. In Rome, she studied the art of pleasure, learning to speak Italian and gaining the twenty-three happiest pounds of her life. India was for the art of devotion, and with the help of a native guru and a surprisingly wise cowboy from Texas, she embarked on four uninterrupted months of spiritual exploration. In Bali, she studied the art of balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence. She became the pupil of an elderly medicine man and also fell in love the best wayunexpectedly. An intensely articulate and moving memoir of self-discovery, Eat, Pray, Love is about what can happen when you claim responsibility for your own contentment and stop trying to live in imitation of societys ideals. It is certain to touch anyone who has ever woken up to the unrelenting need for change.

They make the trek not to learn about technology but to witness a radically different approach to company culture. CEO and “Chief Storyteller” Rich Sheridan removed the fear and ambiguity that typically make a workplace miserable. His own experience in the software industry taught him that, for many, work was marked by long hours and mismanaged projects with low-quality results. There had to be a better way. With joy as the explicit goal, Sheridan and his team changed everything about how the company was run. They established a shared belief system that supports working in pairs and embraces making mistakes, all while fostering dignity for the team. The results blew away all expectations.

一本拖了15年才写成的小书 资深拖延者兼堂堂哲学家佩里教授,在这本风趣机智的小书中为拖延者翻了案。其实,大部分拖延者都不是一事无成的窝囊废,在逃避那些“本该做的事情”的同时,拖延者们还是卓有成效地完成了不少其他事情嘛。 在这本充满哲思的小书中,佩里慷慨地分享了他多年来得出的一套战“拖”心法。比如,拖延者可以利用自己的畏难心理,调整待办事项清单,办成不少不那么重要但也挺重要的事情,例如:第一项,学外语;第二项,翻修厨房;然后你就可以很骄傲地说,我做完了第三项,遛狗。 拖拖拉拉不是罪。最重要的是,佩里希望拖延者们能够不再从心理上“对抗”拖延,而是学会“接受”自己的做事习惯,并聪明地利用它。毕竟,沮丧和罪恶感只会加重我们拖延的欲望。 多年来,佩里一直有心要为《结构化拖延法》添加内容,不料积习难改。如今,沿着这篇短文的思路,同时拖着作业不改,论文不看,佩里终于为自己正了名——他确实写完了这本书,在首次提出该理论仅仅15年之后。
