《觉醒之后》编辑推荐：不要搞错了，开悟是个毁灭性的过程，它与变得更好或者更幸福没有任何关系。它是所有假象的土崩瓦解。它是对虚假表相的看穿。它是对我们信以为真的一切的彻底根除。
灵性觉醒是一种忆起。它不是变成我们所不是的某样东西。它不是转变我们自己。它是忆起我们的真实自性。在一个人能够持续地从真理的角度来看待一切事情之前，他的心是不会彻底满足的。终究，每个人，无论他知道与否，都处在通往全然觉醒的轨道上——通往全然地知道，通往全然地经验自己的真实自性，通往合一，通往一体境界。

觉醒不是一件一劳永逸的事，它的效果可能只会持续一瞬间，它能维持的长度并不依靠我们的意志力，我们无法通过努力来让它延续”但我们可以不断地做出觉醒的努力，不断地、毫不气馁地一再重新来过，将焦点放在付出努力，而非对结果的执著上。这种心态就是一种觉醒。

“我不知道我从哪里来，也不知道我是什么生物。这本书试图找到这两个问题的答案。
我不相信书本会给我任何答案——你也不应该相信这本书。我走出书房，走进荒野，尽可能回到了过去。”
作者亲身模仿獾、水獭、狐狸、赤鹿、雨燕的生活方式，写出了Being a Beast（《动物思维》），而在本书Being a Human中，作者也想通过某种方式（带着儿子，茹毛饮血，荒野生存），模拟重回三个人类历史上的关键时段：
①旧石器时代晚期（大约3.5万到4万年前）——那时人类首次表现出了考古学家所说的“行为现代性”，那时的人，与土地和许多物种有着亲密、虔诚和令人欣喜的联系。他们活得很长，少有疾病，而且几乎没有人类暴力的证据。最早的人类艺术出现在欧洲南部的洞穴墙壁上，是有史以来最好的艺术之一。作者认为，旧石器时代晚期是最有利于人类繁荣的时代。“野蛮人”比起现代人，更快乐、更高贵。
②新石器时代（约始于10000年前）——人类开始管理土地，种植自己喜欢吃的果树。流浪者停止流浪，他们的地理世界变小了。他们不再需要了解大量的物种。人类与自然的关系开始从对一切事物的敬畏和依赖转变为对少数事物的控制。人类开始被控制。他们必须待在自己的居住地，定居带来了政治、等级制度和法律。生命缩短，瘟疫蔓延。人类不再被季节的循环所推动，而是被供需所压制。编纂和束缚扼杀了思想。艺术中出现了窒息的痕迹。在新石器时代，我们开始变得无聊和痛苦。
③启蒙运动时期（17-18世纪）——启蒙运动继续并系统化了新石器时代开始的革命。在新石器时代，人类和自然正式分离。作者认为，在那之前，一切都孕育着某种灵魂。启蒙运动将灵魂从非人类世界中清除出去。宇宙现在是一台机器，基督教思想的革命让人类被允许在一段时间内依附自己的灵魂。达尔文最终把它拿走了，让我们成为机器中的机器。
现在，将人类视为经济人是非常合乎逻辑的。世界上只有物质，我们也只是物质。我们身处假定我们是原子实体的经济结构中，我们想知道为什么感到不快乐。我们是需要灵魂的，与自然有连接的人，我们能有的，是沉闷的、贬低人的自由市场辩证法。
这本书是一个人类尝试去感受这种联系。作者来到荒野之地，在恶劣的环境下生存与思考，将这种亲身地模拟过去人类历史中不同时期的生活方式，以讲故事的方式，描述了出来。同时，作者将对人类历史的思考，融入了这种描述——我们什么时候发现“自我”的？这种发现对我们有什么影响？我们是怎么一步步走向原子化、物质化的？我们在何时丢失了灵魂？！作者用亲身经历，强烈地批判了现代性，甚至批判了自柏拉图以来的理性主义，号召我们与自然，重新发生联结，找回生而为人的旧石器时代的灵魂。

你是否想过，头脑明明是工具，为何会反客为主，成为生命的主人？
你是否想过，人要如何做，才能把自己全部的生命找回？
你是否想过，从何种路径入手，人才能活出清醒？
本书是杨定一博士为现代人高度发达的头脑，准备的一堂清醒成长功课。通过现代的语言，运用无时无刻的念头与感受，帮助我们把注意力从“脑”回到“心”，体会“在”，甚至古人所谈的“空”。

Eleven Minutes is the story of Maria, a young girl from a Brazilian village, whose first innocent brushes with love leave her heartbroken. At a tender age, she becomes convinced that she will never find true love, instead believing that “love is a terrible thing that will make you suffer. . . .” A chance meeting in Rio takes her to Geneva, where she dreams of finding fame and fortune.

Maria’s despairing view of love is put to the test when she meets a handsome young painter. In this odyssey of self-discovery, Maria has to choose between pursuing a path of darkness—sexual pleasure for its own sake—or risking everything to find her own “inner light” and the possibility of sacred sex, sex in the context of love.

Finalizes and further clarifies the true nature and core of the condition termed "Enlightenment." It is primarily an instruction manual for the serious spiritual devotee, and reveals information only known by those who have transcended the ego to reach Divine Realization. This is the inner route from the self to the Self. The subjective states of the mystic are of great interest, but historically never have been clarified to the degree presented in this semi-autobiographical account that also provides the means by which to identify their rare occurrence, and thus describe the core characteristics of Spiritual Truth. Devoid of ecclesiastical doctrine or religious belief systems, the pristine essence of all spiritual Truth is revealed in its purity with unprecedcented clarity.

He shows us the connection between personal inner peace and peace on earth." - -H.H. The Dalai Lama Known and loved worldwide for his teachings on mindfulness and compassion, Thich Nhat Hanh was once nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King Jr. On Peacemaking, this beloved Zen master returns to the theme that first brought him to the world's attention: peace, and how to embody it. Looking deeply into the roots of anger, Thich Nhat Hanh emerges with real solutions to the violence we commit against ourselves and each other. Thich Nhat Hanh uses the philosophy of non-dualism to show that we are not separate, but one with our feelings and the world. He teaches that the awareness of anger, not its suppression, - is key to its control. From the keys to transforming anger through meditation to putting kindness into action to heal the wounds between nations, here is Thich Nhat Hanh's personal testament to the spiritual and practical power of nonviolence, with Peacemaking. Topics: Interbeing; the effects of awareness; liberation through insight; cultivating nonviolence toward self; understanding your enemies; what the Vietnam War taught us; mindfulness and ecology; restoring yourself; kindness in action; ideal solitude; teaching children peacemaking; and more

★★★内容简介
什么是不合理的快乐？快乐，一定要合理吗？
学习了很多快乐法则，却为何始终不能真正快乐起来？
为何财权名利所带来的快乐，总是短暂而不持久？
想通过谈恋爱、吃东西、购物来获得快乐，为何过后却更加空虚和失落？
是否为自己找了太多种不快乐的理由，无奈地认为快乐是人生奢侈品？
本书综览人类历史以来对快乐的追求，读者会发现身心的快乐必然受制于“享乐适应”的原则，即便用尽“合理”的方式来追求，“合理的快乐”早晚会疲乏，甚至带来更多的不快乐。
杨定一博士从医学及科学的角度，为你揭示出快乐的终极奥秘：生命原本快乐。
★★★本书特色
1.独家提出全新快乐理念，彻底颠覆读者原有的快乐认知
作者通过医学、生理学、神经科学、社会学、心理学、哲学等多个视角及大量案例，帮助读者逐步地认识到，我们身心的快乐必然受制于“享乐适应”原则，即使用尽所有看似“合理”的方式去追求，所得到的快乐迟早也会造成身心疲乏，甚至带来不快乐。
而真正的快乐会有一个“不合理”的层面。它不是纯粹理性的产物，而是身心综合的产物，既离不开大脑、也离不开身体，从感受中产生。只要让身心保持平衡，让注意力回到自身，我们就能超越内外的局限，找回永恒的快乐。这种观点，相对于头脑而言，正是不理性、不合理的。
在作者看来，快乐是一种“存在”，本就存于我们自身，无需刻意追求——获取快乐其实是个简单的事。
2.高阶人生智慧，拥有不凡见解
想获得生命的不凡进化，就要让自己的智慧不断升级，进阶到更高的层次。本书作者作为世界顶级科学家、2020年东京奥运会冠军郭婞淳的伟大人生导师，将自己的广博学识及对精神世界的多年探索，毫无保留地分享在本书中，帮助读者快速穿越自己思维的局限，更新观念，成为更智慧更精进的自己。
★★★本书卖点
1.全新快乐理念，让你走出狭隘而错误的快乐认知
作者从医学、生理学、神经科学、社会学、心理学、哲学等多学科角度及大量案例，帮助我们彻底看清：
人天生可以快乐，我们的大脑及生理架构原本支持快乐。只可惜，现代人过于看重头脑及理性，关注环境及外在世界的经验，反而远离了自己内在的真正快乐。这种长期的失衡，才是不快乐的根源。
尽管快乐有时离不开外在的成就，比如财富、名气、地位、影响力等等，但其并非永恒。只有来自于内在更深层面、与物质无关的快乐才是永恒的，也是每个人原本就有的快乐。
这种快乐科学独家理念的提出，已超越了当前市面上绝大多数快乐书籍，完全颠覆了原有认知，令人震撼和备受启迪。
2.多个随时随地可操作的小练习，助你快速进入永恒快乐
本书没有任何空洞的说教，而是在生动、细腻及富有逻辑性的表达中，通过大量简单、易操作的小练习，帮助我们边学边练，边操作边思考，逐步真切地感受到自己身心的真正快乐。
比如通过“臣服”与“参”的多种小练习，使我们学会运用丰富的感受来彻底打开内心，从而看清自己内在的快乐源头等等。
3.从更开阔的视野和更高的层面探讨快乐主题，掌握其真理
本书作者杨定一博士作为“天才科学家中的天才”、奥运冠军人生导师，几十年来一直专注探索人类的精神世界及快乐真相。在他的循循善诱之下，每个人都能够轻松而简单地掌握永恒快乐的终极奥秘，在真正的高阶智慧中，让自己的生命实现完美进化。

帮助父母与孩子建立深层次情感纽带，实现父母与孩子的互助成长。
《当下的力量》《新世界：灵性的觉醒》作者埃克哈特•托利、专业权威媒体《心理月刊》《父母世界》《母子健康》《中华家教》《父母堂》等联袂倾力推荐！
《父母的觉醒》是一本从心理与情感层面讲述教养之道的书。“觉醒”意味着对我们经历的一切事情保持清醒，按照现实的本来面目去接受和应对它，而不去妄图控制或改变它。也就是说，我们在教养孩子的时候，要依从他们的本性，接纳他们的本真。父母的觉醒与改变是教育的真正开始。父母只有安顿好自己的身心，才能帮助孩子成长为一个健全的人。
作者萨巴瑞博士提出，父母与孩子是人生旅途中的伙伴，平等互助是亲子关系的核心内容。如果父母能够放弃虚荣心、自负感、控制欲，尊重孩子的天性，就能与孩子建立起亲密和谐的关系。如果父母愿意敞开胸怀，在实践中学习，在与孩子的互动中找寻答案，就能与孩子一起获得进步与拓展。
萨巴瑞博士运用心理学领域的研究成果，鼓励广大父母用爱意与真诚穿越家庭教育的困境，破解亲子关系的难题，实现精神的觉醒；其深刻的教养之道不仅将孩子身体、思维、心灵的培养融为一体，也让父母得到完整的成长。
《父母的觉醒》具有不可估量的价值。它既向父母展示了教养孩子过程中将会遭遇的种种挑战，也指导他们如何将挑战转化为巨大的机会，从而获得精神的觉醒。成为彻底觉醒的父亲或母亲，对你的孩子来说是一份巨大的馈赠。
——埃克哈特•托利（Eckhart Tolle），《当下的力量》与《新世界：灵性的觉醒》作者
当父母带着一种清醒的觉察眼光来看待自身以及最亲爱的孩子时，就能发现生命本身具备的美好而独特的力量，也就能用尊重、支持、欣赏的态度来对待自己与孩子，进而创造出相互支持而又各自独立的美景。萨巴瑞博士在《父母的觉醒》一书中，以对生命和爱的真实理解与温暖信念，与我们分享了一条实在且美好的路径，让父母与孩子同时获得滋养与成长，共同创造出爱与自由并存的关系。这正是任何一种爱的真义，也是陪伴孩子活出丰美明亮生命的最佳引领。
——胡慧嫚，《心理月刊》执行主编
我们自诩为新父母，因为我们自认为比上辈人更注重亲子关系，更强调爱与尊重。但当我们真实地面对孩子时，却会不由自主地受到习惯力量的驱使，以致在新旧之间苦苦挣扎。之所以有这份挣扎，是因为我们尚未读懂自己的情感与精神，尚未参透自己与孩子之间的关系。《父母的觉醒》帮助我们读懂自己、与自己积极对话，也帮助我们获得觉醒，并与孩子一道绽放生命的光彩。

A groundbreaking exploration of the neuroscience of spirituality and a bold new paradigm for health, healing, and resilience—from a New York Times bestselling author and award-winning researcher

“A new revolution of health and well-being and a testament to, and celebration of, the power within.”—Deepak Chopra, MD

Whether it’s meditation or a walk in nature, reading a sacred text or saying a prayer, there are many ways to tap into a heightened awareness of the world around you and your place in it. In The Awakened Brain, psychologist Dr. Lisa Miller shows you how. 
 
Weaving her own deeply personal journey of awakening with her groundbreaking research, Dr. Miller’s book reveals that humans are universally equipped with a capacity for spirituality, and that our brains become more resilient and robust as a result of it. For leaders in business and government, truth-seekers, parents, healers, educators, and any person confronting life’s biggest questions, The Awakened Brain combines cutting-edge science (from MRI studies to genetic research, epidemiology, and more) with on-the-ground application for people of all ages and from all walks of life, illuminating the surprising science of spirituality and how to engage it in our lives:  
 
• The awakened decision is the better decision. With an awakened perception, we are more creative, collaborative, ethical, and innovative.
• The awakened brain is the healthier brain. An engaged spiritual life enhances grit, optimism, and resilience while providing insulation against addiction, trauma, and depression. 
• The awakened life is the inspired life. Loss, uncertainty, and even trauma are the gateways by which we are invited to move beyond merely coping with hardship to transcend into a life of renewal, healing, joy, and fulfillment.

Absorbing, uplifting, and ultimately enlightening, The Awakened Brain is a conversation-starting saga of scientific discovery packed with counterintuitive findings and practical advice on concrete ways to access your innate spirituality and build a life of meaning and contribution.

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

"我们越觉醒，离孩子的心便越近，也越能给孩子温柔而有力的教养。
从控制孩子，转向培养孩子成为真正的自己，带领整个家庭走上觉醒之路。
觉醒的教养方式打破了传统的游戏规则：要改变的不是孩子，而是父母自身。
每一位父母都有能力培养出具有高度适应能力并在情感上与父母保持深度联结的孩子。但实际上，很多父母都无法做到这一点——因为我们被现代社会对养育子女的误解和自身内在的局限蒙蔽了双眼。
这本书因融汇西方心理学和东方哲学而充满洞见。作为一名经验丰富的临床心理学家和家庭教育专家，作者为读者提供了极具实用性的引导。她向父母展示了如何更好地培养与孩子的关系，让他们成长为真正的自己；同时也带领父母踏上一段觉醒之旅，超越对为人父母的恐惧和幻想，进入更平静、更有同情心和智慧的状态。
•你可以结束教养子女中的所有纠结
•你可以学会为人父母却不用恐惧或焦虑
•你可以结束和孩子的冲突
•你能在家庭里创造亲密的关系

Eckhart Tolle's message is simple: living in the now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment. And while this message may not seem stunningly original or fresh, Tolle's clear writing, supportive voice and enthusiasm make this an excellent manual for anyone who's ever wondered what exactly "living in the now" means. Foremost, Tolle is a world-class teacher, able to explain complicated concepts in concrete language. More importantly, within a chapter of reading this book, readers are already holding the world in a different container--more conscious of how thoughts and emotions get in the way of their ability to live in genuine peace and happiness.
Tolle packs a lot of information and inspirational ideas into The Power of Now. (Topics include the source of Chi, enlightened relationships, creative use of the mind, impermanence and the cycle of life.) Thankfully, he's added markers that symbolise "break time". This is when readers should close the book and mull over what they just read. As a result, The Power of Now reads like the highly acclaimed A Course in Miracles--a spiritual guidebook that has the potential to inspire just as many study groups and change just as many lives for the better. --Gail Hudson

这是一部可以穿透时间的个人成长方法论。通过“大脑构造、潜意识、元认知”等思维规律，你将真正看清自己；通过“深度学习、关联、反馈”事物规律，你将洞悉如何真正成事！
如果对自己不了解，我们就会被人的原始天性束缚，这往往会让我们感到很痛苦。然而，如果了解大脑知识，我们就可以观察并指导自己，运用认知的力量去克服天性，从而获得长久而清晰的内在动力，让我们告别绝大多数人生痛苦。
一个人的认知越清晰，行动就越坚定。本书解答了很多问题：
为什么我们做事总是急于求成、避难趋易？
所谓耐心，就是要“咬牙坚持、死磕到底”吗？
如何彻底告别用“三分钟热情”和“打鸡血”的方式做事？
如何保持极度专注？如何消除焦虑？如何提高学习能力？……
一个人真正的耐心从来不是苦哈哈的毅力支撑，而是具有长远目光的结果。只要了解大脑规律，并知晓诸如“复利效应、舒适区边缘、学习权重比、学习平台期”等规律，我们就可以大幅提升我们的耐心水平。

Who Are The Finders?
The average person lives with an experience of the world that is rooted in fear, worry, and anxiety. The most common way this manifests is in a persistent sense of discontentment. Something just doesn't feel quite right.
That something is usually hard to put a finger on. It's often just a feeling that haunts us in the background, one that leads to endless soul searching and goal striving. Although it can disappear when a desire is achieved, or a piece of our life that was believed to be missing falls into place, ultimately the relief is only temporary. Before long, the background feeling that something is not okay returns and the search begins anew.
You may be surprised to learn that life doesn't have to be this way. Since 2006, our global scientific research project has been on the trail of the tiny fraction of the population that seems to have escaped this fate. We found thousands of them, and what we learned has been nothing short of astonishing. It will revolutionize your life for the better, if you'll let it.
