在本書中，好萊塢不再只是造夢工廠，而是一個高度自我保護、彼此勾連的封閉體系。作者以犀利筆法，描寫明星如何在金錢、崇拜與媒體放大的環境中，逐漸失去自我節制。書中涵蓋兒童教養、成癮文化、政治表態與網路輿論等面向，呈現娛樂產業與美國流行文化之間的相互影響。閱讀過程充滿震撼與諷刺感，也促使讀者反思：當名人被視為道德指標，社會究竟付出了什麼代價。Hollywood, Interrupted is a sometimes frightening, occasionally sad, and frequently hysterical odyssey into the darkest realms of showbiz pathology, the endless stream of meltdowns and flameouts, and the inexplicable behavior on the part of show business personalities.Charting celebrities from rehab to retox, to jails, cults, institutions, near-death experiences and the Democratic Party, Hollywood, Interrupted takes readers on a surreal field trip into the amoral belly of the entertainment industry. Each chapter ― covering topics including warped Hollywood child-rearing, bad medicine, hypocritical political maneuvering and the complicit media ― delivers a meticulously researched, interview-infused, attitude heavy dispatch which analyzes and deconstructs the myths created by the celebrities themselves.Celebrities somehow

本書以藏傳佛教修行中極為重要的「四種思惟」為架構，帶領讀者重新看待此生的價值：人身難得、無常必至、輪迴苦、因果不虛。Khandro Rinpoche以清楚而直接的語言，提醒我們反思日常中被浪費的時間與情緒，並指出修行並非逃離世界，而是學會更清明地生活。書中穿插多則觀修練習，引導讀者體會身心所具備的潛能，學習將此生視為一份珍貴的禮物。由於作者熟悉西方文化背景，使本書能自然連結當代生活經驗，讓古老智慧貼近現實。Tenzin Gyatso亦肯定本書對「四種思惟」的詮釋，認為其清新而具現代意義。Using the traditional Tibetan Buddhist framework of the Four Reminders—the preciousness of human birth, the truth of impermanence, the reality of suffering, and the inescapability of karma—Khandro Rinpoche explains why and how we could all better use this short life to pursue a spiritual path and make the world a better place. The book includes contemplative exercises that encourage us to appreciate the tremendous potential of the human body and mind.
