跑外卖 Douban
★ 8.1 (16 ratings) author: 王晚 publishing house: 广西师范大学出版社 2025 - 9
我们说外卖骑手“被困在系统里”,说他们是“赶时间的人”,标签之外,他们具体如何工作,他们的真实生活是什么样的?
本书作者王晚是一名女骑手,她19岁高中辍学外出打工,十几年来干过许多工作,印刷工、医院外送员、服务员、文员、网络推广员、快递员、保洁……这十几年来,她也写过许多东西,十部长篇,几十个短篇,可能有几百万字,但都没有出版过。2024年,王晚再次失业,跑起了外卖。这本书就是在她奔跑的间隙所写。
从被罚的新手到业绩不错的熟练工,她写下送外卖途中遇到的形形色色的人,无端遭逢的恶意,顾客的理解带来的慰藉,为了不被系统罚款而撒下的谎言,愤怒与自我调适的微妙平衡,以及,作为女性和离异者,她额外面对的那些异样目光与挑战。一句话,她写出 了外卖员尤其是女外卖员不为人知的生活处境。而始终困扰她的,是她作为底层打工者的身份困境,面对家人和故乡的复杂情感。
书中描述了两个世界:一个是算法里的世界,那是在北京的城中村与大型商场里不断穿梭的世界;一个是山东老家的人情世界,是她既害怕被拒之门外又担心被吸附其中的世界。悬浮其间,王晚始终在寻求安心之所,而意外地,跑外卖,令她暂时获得了安全感。
“尽管时间支离破碎,身体日渐磨损,我却感到安心,因为有那样一个活儿我随时都能干,这是我可以掌控的人生。”

对于未来,他们有些什么指望?总而言之,一个外卖员,他(她)的完整的世界,是什么样的?
…………
这本书没有知识分子式的审视,却处处透露出生活的质感,以切身经历,让我们了解到一个外卖员真实的苦与乐,冷与暖,以及底层打工者的安身立命之道。
★ 少见的女骑手视角——
作为女性骑手,王晚在这一高度男性化的行业中,不仅面临与男性一样的制度困境,还要承受更多的挑战:家人羞于启齿她的职业、男顾客只穿内裤开门的尴尬和威胁感,甚至那些规劝她换行的好意,也成为一种压力;而更直接的挑战,是对女性身体的磨损:过度劳累导致的经期紊乱、雨天送单导致的宫寒、长期戴头盔导致的脱发……这些鲜活的经验,为我们理解骑手的世界,提供了不可或缺的性别维度,亦展示了平台经济中女性的双重困境。
★ 独特的城乡双线叙事——
王晚高中辍学,出身农村,漂泊于城市,在两种生活经验之间切换。书中不仅描写了她在北京跑外卖的生活,也写到了返乡期间山东观城老家的人与事:直播创业梦失败的堂弟、曾经是学霸如今在摆摊的高中同学、被家暴的隔壁婶子,喜欢读书而陷入家庭琐事的表姐,一生操持坚韧的母亲,不断相亲的自己……以一个个普通人的境遇,描绘出乡土的现状。
“从观城到北京”不仅是地理上的跨越,也是心理上的断裂。王晚始终被困在“农村—城市”之间的缝隙中:在乡村格格不入,在城市又难以扎根。这种“无根性”在她的住房选择、工作漂流、家庭关系等方面都有体现,映照出一代年轻人悬浮于城乡之间的归属困境。
★ 强烈的个人声音表达
从因离婚承受乡村舆论压力而逃离,到在大城市的职场中辗转,再到被迫选择外卖行业初期的惶恐、羞涩,最终在日复一日的奔跑中磨砺出韧性、学会规则、克服恐惧、主动沟通,王晚终于在经济独立和相对自由的工作状态中获得对人生的些许掌控感。
这是王晚的第一本非虚构作品,她将这些变化坦然呈现,不矫情不苦情,不乏幽默与自嘲,以写作的方式“夺回自己的人生叙事权”。
★ 41张纪实彩色照片
从春天到冬天,除了文字,王晚也用照片记录下自己跑外卖的四季。这些照片是她送单途中随手所拍,不加修饰地展现了在北京跑外卖的生活状态和工作环境。

本书应该算是带些自传性质的纪实文学,写的是作者王晚在2024年的经历,主线是她的外卖员工作,穿插了她被妈妈叫回家与家人朋友的一些互动。

跑外卖这份工作,和网约车类似,是随着“零工经济”和网络点餐团购平台的发展,开始出现并爆发的。这份工作不需要学历,需要手机,电动车,外卖服,头盔和送餐用的餐箱,经过简单的培训,就可以开始做众包骑手。一次性接多个单子,规划递送顺序与路线,取餐,送餐,应付不同的天气,路况,交警,保安,商家,顾客。

难度没有多大,但跑多了,会发现其中门道也挺多的。作者说,跑外卖越久,就越容易把它当成一个限时游戏,每完成一单,就得倒及时的反馈。不超时就是收入,超时就会扣钱。收入与自己的行动的关联性非常强,比日结工的奖惩更能获得即时满足。努力与思考的付出会得到短平快的反馈,有点让人上瘾,“根本停不下来”。高峰的时候,作者一个月能收入一万多,淡季也有6000。

但这一行,无论天气好坏,都在外边跑,对女性的身体来说,也确实是体力与精力的高消耗。要想挣钱多,一天得工作12个小时左右,会让人失去出了吃饭睡觉外的任何欲望。作者认为,很少人会把女骑手当成女的,她自己也往往忘记自己的的性别,成为没有性别的人。即便如此,在求助的时候,还是能得到很多帮忙。

作者,从19岁开始工作了十几年,打过十几份工。这么算起来,她是哪个也做不长久。人际关系上,她跟自己的妈妈和大哥的情感链接较多,表现出的却是怒其不争哀其不幸的怜悯,甚至有些看不起和反感。她能说上话的,是一个结婚早但爱读书的表姐。作者在婚姻上似乎遇人不淑,不长久。可推测,不懂得识人,也没有暖和的亲密关系。

外卖行业,我想她也做不太长。外卖“游戏”挺适合她:相对自由,想做就做;为平台打工,但没有人管束,没有与人的牵绊拉扯。“那里我只有自己,这让我感到自在。”但,这似乎也不该常玩儿。她说自己“跑外卖后,好像每天都在生气”。不到一年,她就觉得“已经忘了怎么生活”。我更觉得爱生气抱怨,是她的人格底色。不过她说“从2024年开始,我就习惯早晨5点起来打坐、读经或是冥想”,如果能坚持,或许能软化一下她的自我。

相比较而言,外卖可能是王晚的又一份临时职业,她所长情投入的事情,似乎是读书,写作。能跟她交朋友的人,是能与她谈论这些话题的。她对自己的自我评价比较低,相信此书的出版能带给她一些信心。

祝好。

Being Ram Dass Goodreads
author: Ram Dass / Rameshwar Das publishing house: St. Martin's Essentials / Sounds True 2021 - 1
“Ram Dass lived a full life and then some. His final statement is thorough and, yes, enlightening.” ― Kirkus Reviews

Perhaps no other teacher has sparked the fires of as many spiritual seekers in the West as Ram Dass. If you’ve ever embraced the phrase “be here now,” practiced meditation or yoga, tried psychedelics, or supported anyone in a hospice, prison, or homeless center―then the story of Ram Dass is also part of your story.

From his birth in 1931 to his luminous later years, Ram Dass saw his life as just one incarnation of many. This memoir puts us in the passenger seat with the one-time Harvard psychologist and lifelong risk-taker Richard Alpert, who loved to take friends on wild rides on his Harley and test nearly every boundary―inner or outer―that came his way.

Being Ram Dass shares his life’s odyssey in intimate how he struggled with issues of self-identity and sexuality in his youth, pioneered psychedelic research, and opened the doorways to Eastern spiritual practices. In 1967 he trekked to India and met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba. He returned with a perspective on spirituality and psychology that changed millions.

Featuring 64 pages of color photographs, this intimate memoir chronicles the cultural and spiritual transformations Ram Dass experienced that resonate with us to this day, a journey from the mind to the heart, from the ego to the soul.

Before, after, and along these waypoints, readers will encounter many other adventures and revelations―each ringing with the potential to awaken the universal, loving divine that links us to this beloved teacher and all of us to each other.

Ram Dass 是西方有名的非二元灵性导师,2019年去世。本书2021年出版,算是给其生平画个句号。他的教导是爱与奉献,也就是奉爱瑜伽,师承是印度教上师 Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaj-ji)。

Ram Dass俗名Richard Albert,生于波士顿的上层富裕犹太家庭,有两个哥哥,父亲有钱有地位。儿时是家里的开心果,被妈妈喂得圆滚滚。上大学的时候违背父亲意志去读了心理学,病在斯坦福获得博士学位,研究方向涉及学业动机,同时做心理咨询。毕业后在斯坦福教了一年课后,去了哈佛做教授,可谓意气风发。

在哈佛,他结交Timothy Leary 并开始研究致幻蘑菇和LSD对意识的影响。他自己也服用这些致幻剂,并宣传致幻剂的用处。他开始这些因研究成名。因为致幻剂被认为有害,造成他被哈佛开除。他和Leary则成了反文化斗士,在嬉皮运动时期引领潮流。LSD带来的灵性体验,总有一些未尽之处。于是他像许多嬉皮士一样,去印度朝圣,并遇到了他的上师,并结束了作为Richard Albert的生活。

他踏上了印度的土地,去寻找灵性的答案。他遇到了Maharaj-ji。Maharaj-ji 启发他开悟的方式,类似于禅宗:给了头脑以无法用理性处理的一段信息,直接让头脑宕机,得见实相。在体验无条件的爱之后,他皈依Maharaj-ji,修习瑜伽。并得赐名Ram Dass,意思是“神的仆人”。

在印度学习半年后,Maharaj-ji让他返家,两年之后再回印度,并准许他写一本书。这就是美国灵修届非常有名的《Be Here Now》。

皈依Maharaj-ji之后,他在美国四处宣讲。但同时自己仍旧同自己的权力欲和双性恋生活中。然而这一切皆在Maharaj-ji之中。Ram Dass一辈子服务大众的方式,可以说是法布施。他的生活,就是修炼。他的主要项目,是叫人认识死亡与老去。在写年老与灵心的书时,他得了脑出血,失去语言能力和行动能力,反而给该书添加了真实的体验。

Maharaj-ji 的教导,浓缩起来是两点:“Love people;tell truth”。Ram Dass 做到了。RamDass 留给人们的,则是“Love everyone, Serve everyone, remember God”。Maharaj-ji原是奉爱瑜伽传统,是将一生奉献给神的。虽然Ram Dass说他仍是这个传统,但他行的其实是业力瑜伽或者行动瑜伽。二者的结合点,是像服务神一样服务世人。

Gender Queer Google Books Douban Goodreads Skybridge
★ 8.8 (17 ratings) author: Maia Kobabe publishing house: Lion Forge 2019 - 5 other title: Gender Queer / Gender Queer: A Memoir
In 2014, Maia Kobabe, who uses e/em/eir pronouns, thought that a comic of reading statistics would be the last autobiographical comic e would ever write. At the time, it was the only thing e felt comfortable with strangers knowing about em. Now, Gender Queer is here. Maia's intensely cathartic autobiography charts eir journey of self-identity, which includes the mortification and confusion of adolescent crushes, grappling with how to come out to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic gay fanfiction, and facing the trauma of pap smears. Started as a way to explain to eir family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual, Gender Queer is more than a personal story: it is a useful and touching guide on gender identity—what it means and how to think about it—for advocates, friends, and humans everywhere.

e一方面渴望与众不同,一方面却不敢冒缺乏群体认同的风险。最终接受了洗脑却认为是自己的选择。内心不够强大,仍然为别人叫错其性别而光火。

e觉得自己一路走来,很难。于是作此书以激励同侪。其实,e走的是一条简单的路,因为这条路需要别人为e而改变。

什么更难? 认识现实。什么最难?接受现实。

Switched On Google Books
author: John Elder Robison publishing house: Random House Publishing Group 2017 - 02
An extraordinary memoir about the cutting-edge brain therapy that dramatically changed the life and mind of John Elder Robison, the New York Times bestselling author of Look Me in the Eye

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST

Imagine spending the first forty years of your life in darkness, blind to the emotions and social signals of other people. Then imagine that someone suddenly switches the lights on.

It has long been assumed that people living with autism are born with the diminished ability to read the emotions of others, even as they feel emotion deeply. But what if we’ve been wrong all this time? What if that “missing” emotional insight was there all along, locked away and inaccessible in the mind?

In 2007 John Elder Robison wrote the international bestseller Look Me in the Eye, a memoir about growing up with Asperger’s syndrome. Amid the blaze of publicity that followed, he received a unique invitation: Would John like to take part in a study led by one of the world’s foremost neuroscientists, who would use an experimental new brain therapy known as TMS, or transcranial magnetic stimulation, in an effort to understand and then address the issues at the heart of autism? Switched On is the extraordinary story of what happened next.

Having spent forty years as a social outcast, misreading others’ emotions or missing them completely, John is suddenly able to sense a powerful range of feelings in other people. However, this newfound insight brings unforeseen problems and serious questions. As the emotional ground shifts beneath his feet, John struggles with the very real possibility that choosing to diminish his disability might also mean sacrificing his unique gifts and even some of his closest relationships. Switched On is a real-life Flowers for Algernon, a fascinating and intimate window into what it means to be neurologically different, and what happens when the world as you know it is upended overnight.

Praise for Switched On

“An eye-opening book with a radical message . . . The transformations [Robison] undergoes throughout the book are astonishing—as foreign and overwhelming as if he woke up one morning with the visual range of a bee or the auditory prowess of a bat.”—The New York Times

“Astonishing, brave . . . reads like a medical thriller and keeps you wondering what will happen next . . . [Robison] takes readers for a ride through the thorny thickets of neuroscience and leaves us wanting more.”—The Washington Post

“Fascinating for its insights into Asperger’s and research, this engrossing record will make readers reexamine their preconceptions about this syndrome and the future of brain manipulation.”—Booklist

“Like books by Andrew Solomon and Oliver Sacks, Switched On offers an opportunity to consider mental processes through a combination of powerful narrative and informative medical context.”—BookPage

“A mind-blowing book that will force you to ask deep questions about what is important in life. Would normalizing the brains of those who think differently reduce their motivation for great achievement?”—Temple Grandin, author of The Autistic Brain

“At the heart of Switched On are fundamental questions of who we are, of where our identity resides, of difference and disability and free will, which are brought into sharp focus by Robison’s lived experience.”—Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Effect
June 22, 2023 read
作为一名自闭症患者和为自闭症群体代言的积极分子,作者参加了一次用穿颅磁刺激(TMS)实验,意图激活自闭症缺失的情绪识别和处理功能。

一般情况下,TMS的效果并不持久。但,实验在他的身上出现了超出预期的效果:在TMS刺激之后,他出现了超验体验:他的感官变得极其敏锐鲜活;对过去的记忆纷纷苏醒,且犹如身临其境般;对他人的情绪,他忽然能本能的识别并应对得当。
面对TMS,他的生活发生了一系列积极和消极的变化。一方面,他对TMS的热情和深入研究,甚至让他成为NIH自闭症相关委员会的成员,参与科研基金的审议。另一方面,对他人情绪的认知和共情造成了他无法和深度抑郁的妻子一起生活,因而离婚。

TMS给他带来的改变,非常长久。

然而,我个人认为,而作者所经历的长期变化,并不是TMS带来的,而是灵性觉醒带来的。TMS充其量是他觉醒的契机。

作者的自传式的写作方式很对我的胃口。

★ 8.2 (9 ratings) author: 马修·麦康纳 publishing house: Headline 2020 - 10
From the Academy Award®-winning actor, an unconventional memoir filled with raucous stories, outlaw wisdom, and lessons learned the hard way about living with greater satisfaction.
I've been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me.
Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries. I found stories I experienced, lessons I learned and forgot, poems, prayers, prescriptions, beliefs about what matters, some great photographs, and a whole bunch of bumper stickers. I found a reliable theme, an approach to living that gave me more satisfaction, at the time, and still: If you know how, and when, to deal with life's challenges - how to get relative with the inevitable - you can enjoy a state of success I call 'catching greenlights.'
So I took a one-way ticket to the desert and wrote this book: an album, a record, a story of my life so far. This is fifty years of my sights and seens, felts and figured-outs, cools and shamefuls. Graces, truths, and beauties of brutality. Getting away withs, getting caughts, and getting wets while trying to dance between the raindrops.
Hopefully, it's medicine that tastes good, a couple of aspirin instead of the infirmary, a spaceship to Mars without needing your pilot's license, going to church without having to be born again, and laughing through the tears.
It's a love letter. To life.
It's also a guide to catching more greenlights-and to realising that the yellows and reds eventually turn green too.
Good luck.

How to Catch a Mole Douban
author: Marc Hamer publishing house: Greystone Books 2019 - 10
At once a highly original memoir and an ode to the mole, this unexpected—and delightfully strange—book reveals, at its core, a rare vision of the natural world. Kneeling in a muddy field, clutching something soft and blue-black, Marc Hamer vows he will stop trapping moles—forever. In this earnest, understated, and sublime work of nonfiction literature, the molecatcher shares what led him to this strange career: from sleeping among hedges as a homeless teen, to toiling on the railway, to weeding windswept gardens in Wales. Hamer infuses his wanderings with radiant poetry and stark, simple observations on nature’s oft-ignored details. He also reveals how to catch a mole—a craft long kept secret by its masters—and burrows into the unusual lives of his muses. Moles, we learn, are colorblind. Their blood holds unusual amounts of carbon dioxide. Their vast tunnel networks are intricate and deceptive. And, like Hamer, they work alone.
