Lessons Learned

吳念真、劉軒、蘇益賢、李霈瑜（大霈）、海苔熊、吳崟睿誠摯推薦◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆我們都渴望被理解，只是不知道該從哪裡開始。當潔絲．詹茲（Jess Janz）面臨工作的挫折，卻受困於人際之間的疏離與隔閡，渴望得到真正的理解，因此做出了一個大膽的企劃──「與陌生人共進晚餐」，而且「今晚，絕對不能聊工作！」人們圍坐一桌，在自我介紹時不提工作，只分享工作頭銜之外的自己。沒有預設期待、沒有相互比較，只有好奇、勇氣，以及願意理解彼此的真心。兩個失去摯愛的女人，發現自己原來不孤單；遲暮之年的女性，分享自己終於一圓兒時的演員夢；一個男人花了18年，終於能夠面對自己的真實性向；分別來自以色列與烏克蘭的人，在戰火的恐懼與和平的渴盼中找到共同語言……。在這些故事中，我們了解如何提出更好的問題、如何讓人卸下防備，如何與人建立更深層的連結，以及我們為何比想像中更相似。當一段段幽默、心碎、遺憾的故事得到聆聽我們的距離才能真正瓦解，心靈才能真正靠近。◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆‧雖然我們比以往任何時候都更容易聯絡對方，但我們卻不斷忘記如何真正靠近彼此。‧我們用來衡量自己是誰的那些統計資料，幾乎容納不了一個生命的任何真相。‧我們的提問多半出於善意，想找到對話的起點，也真心想了解對方，但我們選擇的問題，往往反而讓我們離目標更遠。‧讓我們毫不猶豫地，用那些不夠完美卻能持續下去的方式，去觸碰彼此吧！我們都應該竭盡全力，用言語、用行動，或是用任何我們所知道的方式，去把愛說出來。‧我們的光陰足夠漫長，生命卻太過匆忙。‧或許，這世界以一種扭曲的方式展現了慈悲：任何醜陋且超乎想像的事，都不必由某個人獨自面對。‧讓我們守護這樣一個世界：在那裡，我們都能以最真實、最柔軟、也最完整的姿態，與彼此相遇。‧比起承認失望，比起面對尚未抵達理想的事實，或是承認我們正因為某事或某人而感到心碎、孤單或失望，「冷漠」要來得舒服且方便得多。‧「在乎」永遠是更艱難的選擇。「在乎」需要付出浩大的努力與熾熱的樂觀，那種樂觀有時會灼傷你，且大多數時候讓你感到焦慮、挫敗與渺小。

人生自古誰不魯？留取擔心照汗青，且看歷代溫拿如何走上癲峰！ 萬千網友讀後真心話：如果當年的歷史課有這麼有趣就好了！回顧歷史，你會發現──原來初次登場有多麼重要（下次先把浸過你香水的東西送過去吧）原來天生臭臉其實很有市場（所以不用勉強自己笑，驕傲地擺出它）原來幽默感真的能救你一命（像是被綁架的時候，你可以說笑話給綁匪聽）原來求愛和分手都不一定要用LINE（你可以選擇吃腋下的蘋果，或帶把劍）原來跟有權有勢的女人上床並不是個好主意（你可能會被驗身，或直接翹辮子）IG粉絲４８萬、推特追蹤超過１０萬，人氣歷史研究家船長先生，用歡樂搞笑、明智理性、殘酷誠實的文字，賦予了歷史新的生命，連接起了過去和現在，將歷史帶入你的生命中，讓那些奇葩離奇的事蹟，都成為你做出下個選擇的參考和指引。─ 有人愛兔成痴到自以為能生出兔子，你還覺得那些寵物把拔馬麻太誇張？─ 英國男人會把愛人的恥毛插在帽子上示愛，你還只想用刺青就打發你的愛？─ 愛德華八世為了愛人而放棄王位，而你卻在大賣場的垃圾出清區找情人節禮物？─ 愛迪生夫婦用摩斯密碼安靜傳情，你們這對情侶居然還在公共場合大聲曬恩愛惹人嫌？─ 奧地利畫家和前女友造型的娃娃處了二十三年才走出情傷，你不趕快把前任的東西丟了，還在妄想他會回來找你？歷史總是意外地相似──古代的人們和我們其實有著令人驚奇的關聯性，而不了解歷史的人，注定要重蹈覆轍。與其向命運認輸，不如向歷史上的溫拿前輩們學習，並仿效那些狠角色，給命運點顏色瞧瞧！方法都告訴你了，還他X的楞在那邊做什麼？是時候該做出改變了！【本書適合】☑ 總是對歷史昏昏欲睡的你☑ 對奇葩史料興致勃勃的你☑ 對人生感到倦怠厭世的你☑ 想要翻身掌握精彩人生的你☑ 還有那邊那個你！不要懷疑、不要轉頭，就是你！

An analysis of the lessons learned from tuberculosis control in Shanghai. Tuberculosis Control and Institutional Change in Shanghai, 1911-2011 is the first book on the most widespread and deadly infectious disease in China, both historically and today. Weaving together interviews with data from periodicals and local archives in Shanghai, Rachel Core examines the rise and fall of tuberculosis control in China from the 1950s to the 1990s. Under the socialist work unit system, the vast majority of people had guaranteed employment, a host of benefits tied to their workplace, and there was little mobility--factors that made the delivery of medical and public health services possible in both urban and rural areas. The dismantling of work units amid wider market reforms in the 1980s and 1990s led to the rise of temporary and casual employment and a huge migrant worker population, with little access to health care, creating new challenges in TB control. This study of Shanghai will provide valu

She sang before she talked and learned to play piano at a very young age. With the support of her family and community, she received music lessons that introduced her to classical composers like Bach who remained with her and influenced her music throughout her life. She loved the way his music began softly and then tumbled to thunder, like her mother’s preaching, and in much the same way as her career. During her first performances under the name of Nina Simone her voice was rich and sweet but as the Civil Rights Movement gained steam, Nina’s voice soon became a t
