For the past eight decades, we have lived in "the American Century" - a period during which the US has enjoyed unrivalled power - be it political, economic or military - on the global stage. Born on the cusp of this new era, Joseph S. Nye Jr. has spent a lifetime illuminating our understanding of the changing contours of America power and world affairs. His many books on the nature of power and political leadership have rightly earned him his reputation as one of the most influential international relations scholars in the world today. In this deeply personal book, Joseph Nye shares his own journey living through the American century. From his early years growing up on a farm in rural New Jersey to his time in the State Department, Pentagon and Intelligence Community during the Carter and Clinton administrations where he witnessed American power up close, shaping policy on key issues such as nuclear proliferation and East Asian security.

Traumatic experiences leave a "living legacy" of effects that often persist for years and decades after the events are over. Historically, it has always been assumed that re-telling the story of what happened would resolve these effects.However, survivors report a different experience: Telling and re-telling the story of what happened to them often reactivates their trauma responses, overwhelming them rather than resolving the trauma. To transform traumatic experiences, survivors need to understand their symptoms and reactions as normal responses to abnormal events. They need ways to work with the symptoms that intrude on their daily activities, preventing a life beyond trauma.Dr. Janina Fisher, international expert on trauma, has spent over 40 years working with survivors, helping them to navigate the healing journey. In Transforming the Living Legacy of Trauma, she shows how the legacy of symptoms helped them survive and offers: Step-by-step strategies that can be used on their own o

「這些事都已聽見了，總意就是敬畏神，謹守祂的誡命，這是人所當盡的本分。」（傳道書十二章13節）壞事發生時，神到哪裡去了？我該如何面對生命中的不確定？當神的旨意曖昧難明，我該何去何從？是因為我信心不夠，壞事才發生嗎？ 基督徒可以享樂嗎？在一個無常的世界裡，我們如何憑信心而活？環顧整個人類歷史，不論男女，都在思索同樣的問題。倘若神造了我們，祂理當不會任憑我們對於這麼重要的問題茫然不知。因此，祂呼召所羅門寫了傳道書，他在書中不僅處理惡的問題，也解答了其他人生中的疑難。這些問題曾讓幾千年來的哲學家和邏輯學者百思不得其解，或許現在也正困惑著你。生命的奥祕如果讓你深感不解，就讓本書帶領你到所羅門的内心深處走一遭！以信心的眼睛來看，你必會發現，其中處處透露著神的智慧。好評推薦：「診斷出罹患轉移性乳癌不久後，湯米特別讓我有幸讀到本書手稿。在悲傷、病痛裡，我努力接受自己生命中發生的事。這本書完美地說明湯米對傳道書與所羅門智慧的洞見，既清楚又完整。他教導上帝話語裡的真理，顯示他深深瞭解神的特質和人心的需要。這本書曾帶給我平靜和安慰。神全權的計畫都是為了我們最終的益處。」——珊卓．麥克敏（Sondra McMinn）「我認為每一個人都應該讀讀這本書，特別是那些人生才剛開始的年輕人。我們每個人，特別是基督徒，有時會覺得人生令自己失望、幻滅，想知道事情為什麼會這樣。我們努力尋找自己人生的意義與目的，特別是身處逆境時。這是一本為上帝話語裡的真理帶來生命的書，幫助我們發現人生真正的目的，過我們應過的生活，讓我們更親近神，並在祂掌管萬有的主權裡安息。湯米，謝謝你用我們每個人都懂的方式，傳遞了這份信息。」——尤妮絲．費雪（Eunice Fisher）

Wisdom That Transforms Lives Twenty-five centuries ago, a man who had once lived in royal luxury walked barefoot across the dusty plains of India, sharing insights that would forever change human history. The Buddha—“the Awakened One”—dedicated forty-nine years of his life to illuminating the path beyond suffering for all who would listen. This first volume presents 36 stories from the Buddha’s life and the lives of his disciples, each revealing the Buddha’s remarkable ability to meet people where they were and guide them toward realization. Readers will discover the Buddha’s insights on the importance of kindness, right speech, right actions, and community living that remain profoundly relevant to our lives today. Each story concludes with “Words of Wisdom” that connect ancient guidance to contemporary challenges. Throughout the collection, we see how the Buddha’s gentle yet powerful approach led others to profound insights, inspiring many to become his disciples and continue their sp

「等我賺夠錢了就……」這或許是對生活最大的誤解。生活從來不是過渡階段，我們不必選擇等到未來才快樂。見證過無數生死的醫生告訴你如何過一個不留遺憾的人生《跟錢好好相處》作者薇琪・魯賓專序推薦這世上最珍貴的快樂，莫過於在有限的生命裡，做真正想做的事。然而，要弄清內心真正渴望的是什麼，往往比努力賺錢更困難。於是，當「賺錢」成為人生目標，我們便擁有了一張免於深思的擋箭牌，讓生活的每一天都淪為過渡期，人生始終「在路上」，卻遲遲未曾抵達真正的歸屬感——這也正是許多人不快樂的原因。安寧照護醫師喬丹・格魯米特（Jordan Grumet）長年經營探討財務獨立與健康的部落格，並創立Podcast節目 Earn & Invest，該節目曾於2020年獲提名為年度最佳個人理財頻道。身為醫師的他，陪伴過無數病患走過人生最後一程，聆聽他們傾訴內心的遺憾、錯過的機會與未能實現的夢想……然而，令人意外的是，「錢」從未在這些後悔清單之中。回顧自己過去不斷追逐財富的歲月，喬丹驚覺：原來，他只是用物質慾望來掩蓋對死亡的恐懼。在本書中，他帶領我們重新審視金錢、工作與幸福的本質，幫助我們找回內心真正的渴望，並即刻對生活做出積極改變。他見證過太多生命倒數時的頓悟與遺憾，也因此提出了一個問題：既然我們終將面對人生復盤，為何不提早開始，及時調整方向，活出無憾的人生？在這本書中，喬丹不僅顛覆傳統對金錢、工作、財務自由、投資與時間管理的思維，更提供了具體可行的改變方法。每章末設計的「人生復盤問卷」，條理分明且實用，幫助我們一步步釐清內心真正的目標；他所提出的三種財務自由概念及實踐策略，則能幫助我們打造最適合自身的財務自由之路。現在，或許正是時候重新認識生活、認識自己了。人生這場旅程，沒有終點線，沒有掌聲與獎牌，只有一條又一條岔路，等待著我們做出抉擇。也許這本書將徹底改變你的選擇，甚至你的人生。
