Surrender

比爾蓋茲推薦書單傳奇愛爾蘭U2樂隊主唱波諾完整個人回憶錄，親筆設計中文版書封 波諾，藝術家、社會運動家，同時為世界知名樂團U2主唱，開誠布公地寫下關於自己的回憶錄，紀錄他這一路精彩不凡的人生，紀錄那些他面對的挑戰，以及紀錄那些人生路上的美好相遇。 「我生來不按牌理出牌。」這是一本出色的好書，出自一位好鬥的藝術家之手，他發現自己理解屈服之道後，成為了最好的自己。這本書以未必連貫的片段組成、有著桀傲不遜的氣質，既帶有自省的成分、又具有強烈的啟發性。《Surrender》是波諾的人生故事，儘管擁有一定的架構，與40首歌呼應，卻又不那麼工整齊一。波諾在都柏林的北邊成長，父親是天主教徒、母親則是新教徒，那個年代愛爾蘭不同教派間的暴力活動愈發劍拔弩張。14歲時失去母親的他，因為親近之人的缺席形塑了自我對家庭的追尋。人生剛起步時，他感覺自己相當平庸，但最後看來，他一路的人生旅程，挑戰了人人本皆平凡的想法。他的創造力非常混亂，但一直都在……不管在錄音室、在舞台、在抗議現場、在議事廳的會堂、還是在巷口酒吧都是。我們讀到他易怒的情緒問題，這件事替他對愛情及非暴力倡議的描寫增色，還聽見他自承自己的自尊「比自信更膨脹」。橫跨40載，U2從一群渴望成名的青少年變成世界上最成功的知名樂團，而波諾則從兼差的運動人士進化成全心全意戰鬥的一股勢力，目標是取消貧困國家的債務以及說服各國、特別是美國政府，對全球愛滋病的危急狀況作出回應。我們和他一同來到了總統愛滋病緊急救援計畫（PEPFAR）的誕生時刻，在當時這可是醫學史上針對單一疾病規模最大的公衛干預計畫。他還描寫了ONE的參與者，這個非政府組織也由他聯手創立，期望以事實為基礎展開行動，至於姊妹組織(RED)則是入門版的行動良藥。U2的粉絲將會了解，為何U2在數十年間，經歷了各種個人的困境以及火藥味十足的創作分歧後，波諾相信樂團始終都團結一心，還能找到一把把鑰匙，可以解鎖樂團最出名、最有影響力那些歌曲背後的故事。想要一探究竟波諾內在的生活，大門都已經打開了。恣意揮霍身而為人的潛能是貫穿全文的主題，而他的信念也是，他認為信念就像是在雜音中找到一道信號，聽起來就像是「微小卻堅定的聲音」，他在婚姻、自己的音樂創作，還有對抗極端貧困中聽到最清晰的呼喊。綜合以上所述，《Surrender》是一篇愛的故事，對象是他的妻子艾莉，當年樂團第一次團練的那個星期，他開口邀
