编辑推荐 《以自己喜欢的方式过一生》中记录的，是这样一些人，和他们各自不同的命运： 在母亲失望的眼神里坚持玩收藏，终于玩成办个人展览的收藏家； 一位敢年近30才走进美术课堂的电工，现在是国内某知名设计师； 一位亿万富翁回忆，妈妈从名媛跌落到洗衣妇，依然坚持每晚给他把衣服 熨平。让他穿得破旧却干净，那时他不懂，他只是朦朦胧胧感觉到，即便做洗衣妇，他的母亲也和别人不同…… 他们的坚持是生命里自顾自的模样；人来人往中，只有这样的心灵才能做到旁若无人。他们专注的样子，很自由。 作者没有写远大的理想，锦绣的前程。她把生活里的拧巴、纠结一一融化在淡淡的笔尖。写那些最朴素的人、最朴素的生活。偏偏让你嗅到理想应该有的味道。 合上书，你也许会忽然发现，原来一直误解了理想的意义。生活不应是为了周遭的人对自己满意而已。 就算怀揣世上最伟大的梦想，也不妨碍我们得到一个普通人的快乐。这世上只有一种成功，就是以自己喜欢的方式过一生。
