The incredibly buzzy debut that everyone is talking about -- a love story about two people pulled apart by the same force that draws them together: music.It’s a Friday night in a campus bar in Berkeley, fall of 2000, and Percy Marks is pontificating about music again. Hall and Oates is on the jukebox, and Percy—who has no talent for music, just lots of opinions about it—can’t stop herself from overanalyzing the song, indulging what she knows to be her most annoying habit. But something is different tonight. The guy beside her at the bar, fellow student Joe Morrow, is a songwriter. And he could listen to Percy talk all night.Joe asks Percy for feedback on one of his songs—and the results kick off a partnership that will span years, ignite new passions in them both, and set Joe on a path to indie-rock stardom. But it also bruises Joe’s ego, and traps Percy in a role she resents. How long can Percy ignore the roars of her heart, and of her own unique talent, to protect their thrilling col

From one of our foremost psychologists, a trailblazing book that turns the idea of a good life on its head and urges us to embrace the transformative power of variety and experience.For many people, a good life is a stable life, a comfortable life that follows a well-trodden path. This is the case for Shigehiro Oishi's father, who has lived in a small mountain town in Japan for his entire life, putting his family's needs above his own, like his father and grandfather before him. But is a happy life, or even a meaningful life, also a good life?InLife in Three Dimensions, Shige Oishi enters into a debate that has animated psychology since 1984, when Ed Diener (Oishi's mentor) published a paper that launched happiness studies. A rival followed in 1989 with a model of a good life that focused on purpose and meaning instead. In recent years, Shige Oishi's award-winning work has proposed a third dimension to a good life:psychological richness,a concept that prioritizes curiosity, exploration

現代主義文學經典力作。《兒子與情人》被評論家視為「第一部佛洛伊德式的英語小說」。這部帶有明顯自傳性的作品首次透過藝術手法和作者自我剖析的形式對佛洛伊德的「戀母情結」理論做了深入的探索。諾貝爾文學獎得主T. S. 艾略特認為《兒子與情人》儘管在某些方面存在瑕疵，但確實是一部重要作品，展現了D. H. 勞倫斯獨特的情感深度和對人類內心世界的非凡描寫。英國小說家兼評論家 E. M. 福斯特，稱D. H. 勞倫斯為「我們這一代最偉大的富有想像力的小說家」。英國詩人菲利浦．拉金認為D. H. 勞倫斯透過《兒子與情人》這部小說探索了人類內心最本質的情感和心理衝突，使其成為20世紀初期英國文學中的經典。英國文學評論家 F. R. 利維斯 (F. R. Leavis) 也稱讚D. H. 勞倫斯的藝術操守和嚴謹的道德觀。《兒子與情人》描述了莫瑞爾一家的故事，特別聚焦於母親莫瑞爾太太和次子保羅之間的複雜關係，生動地描寫了主角保羅在人生道路上的困惑、內心思緒與心理障礙。保羅出生於英國諾丁漢郡的礦區，父親華特．莫瑞爾是個性格粗魯、沒有文化的煤礦工人；而擁有中產階級家庭背景的母親莫瑞爾太太則具有文化修養又有相當志趣。由於性格和文化背景上的差異，莫瑞爾夫婦在感情上出現了嚴重危機，婚姻名存實亡，莫瑞爾家的子女也對父親愈來愈厭惡，尤其是長子威廉和次子保羅。莫瑞爾太太轉而將她全部的愛傾注在長子威廉和次子保羅身上，希望他們將來能有出息，為她爭光。長子威廉不幸早逝後，莫瑞爾太太便將保羅視為生活的唯一希望與寄託。保羅結識了農場主人的女兒米莉安，兩人志趣相投，交往密切。然而，保羅和母親的親密關係，加上莫瑞爾太太不喜歡米莉安，使得他無法跟米莉安建立正常的情侶關係。隨後，保羅投入了與先生分居的有夫之婦克拉拉的懷抱。但他與母親的關係再次成為他與克拉拉之間關係的阻礙。莫瑞爾太太罹癌過世後，保羅頓失精神支柱……。

英國小說家兼評論家 E. M. 福斯特，稱D.
