【內容簡介】◎在這些情境裡，你更有可能採取怎樣的行動？半夜被鄰居的電音搖滾趴吵醒，這時你會：A、馬上起身去敲對方的門，警告他不准再製造噪音，否則就要報警。B、才不想在大半夜跟別人吵架，還是先想辦法睡著比較重要。一夜未有好眠的你才踏進辦公室，就有同事找你聊八卦，這時你會：A、跟同事說自己沒睡好，對八卦也沒興趣，現在只想好好把工作處理到一個段落再說。B、一邊假裝聽他說話，一邊動手處理工作，希望同事自動結束話題。主管臨時交辦不加班就趕不出來的急件，這時你會：A、坦言今天已有其他計畫，一定要準時下班。B、萬一被主管拉黑就完了，還是把自己的事延後吧！和朋友約好下班後去健身房，但朋友依然慣性遲到，這時你會：A、告訴朋友遲到是很不尊重人的行為，下次再這樣絕對會翻臉。B、都認識這麼久了，用幾個無傷大雅的玩笑戳他兩下，應該就夠了吧！回家後，媽媽來電提醒你週末出席某個討厭親戚的壽宴，這時你會：A、坦言已有其他計畫，而且自己跟那位親戚完全不對盤。B、不想被爸媽碎念，還是去露個臉吧，到時候看情況再說。──小心！你選擇的「B」越多，越表示你的善良可能已傷己入骨！◆德國亞馬遜職場類冠軍書、《明鏡周刊》暢銷書，近千筆★★★★★好評！◆豐富範例 × 實用檢測 × 情境練習 × 解決方案，德國知名職涯顧問教你辨識各種「好人陷阱」，幫你揪出盲點、調整行為，讓你不再做連狗都想欺負的軟爛好人！ ◆陳志恆、洪仲清、洪培芸、律師娘（林靜如）、瑪那熊──不軟爛大推你的善良很珍貴，不要隨便送給誰！當個有底線、更有底氣的強大好人！你以為，當個好人不過是：同事希望你分擔工作？算了，看他可憐，幫個忙又不會怎樣。友人向你借錢度危機？算了，也沒多少錢，說不定他真的有需要。朋友期望你無償協助？算了，至少表示對方信賴我的專業。親戚臨時要求你幫忙？算了，畢竟是親人，我可不想被嘴碎！但「人太好」的損失，遠比你想像的更可怕：升遷加薪沒你的分，只能爆肝幫人收爛攤！別人一開口就心軟，借的錢永遠收不回來！義氣為友赴湯蹈火，朋友卻當你免費勞工！難敵親人情緒勒索，被當隨傳隨到宅急便！善良應該是你身上的光，而不是行為的框。善良好人最大的問題，是沒人會認真把你當一回事。作者以大量實證及分析，指出為什麼好心往往沒好報，並透過案例與練習，告訴讀者如何為自我設下邊防、為個人需求挺身而出，進一步變得更強大、更有自覺、更務實、更成功。每一章並附有「人太好」

會說故事的人，不需要說服對方，而是讓對方說服他們自己 想勸家人不要開車看手機，你會：A.舉出官方統計的死亡數字 B.轉車禍新聞給對方看 想吸引大家購買自家的保健食品，你會：A.放上各種厲害的研究數據 B.推出不同優惠方案並送贈品 想呼籲大眾重視環保議題，你會：A.提出資料展現問題的嚴重度 B.抨擊特定團體以炒高討論度 以上問題，如果你都不假思索地選A，那可能達成目標的機率不太高。因為硬性的數據、資料、圖表對人類大腦而言，並沒有實質意義，多數人聽過就忘。 這些「客觀事實」必須透過故事加以詮釋，激起情緒，目標受眾才會對你的觀點產生記憶點。 但這並不表示B選項就是好的選擇。搞不清楚目標受眾的價值觀和真正在意的事，就算成功引出他們的情緒，也可能適得其反，讓他們把你的商品、訴求直接打入黑名單。 無論你是社群小編、個人品牌經營者、文字工作者、廣告行銷人員，甚至只是一般人，都需要學會如何利用正確的故事，讓他人卸下防衛心，聽進你的觀點。在《勾引大腦》中，資深故事教練麗莎‧克隆帶你了解故事與大腦密不可分的關係、人類做決定時又是受到何者的左右，以及教你一步步寫出對的故事。最終，你將擁有能夠扭轉他人腦內風向的能力，將影響力輕鬆擴散出去！ ★透過本書，你將學到的觀念：˙「誤信+真相+發現+轉變」是故事主角世界觀必經的四階段。 ˙想觸及「所有人」只會扼殺你的創造力，創造出平庸的故事。 ˙情緒是你的盟友，但只知道訴諸「恐懼」將無法持續成功。 ˙直接進行意見調查仍會有誤區，因為受眾也未必知道自己想要什麼。 ˙小心混淆故事CTA中「對你的好處」與「對受眾的好處」。

But The Revolutionary Science of Sex Selection does more than explain how the technology works — it prepares the reader for the personal experience of fertility drugs, artificial insemination, and/or in vitro fertilization. A bonus chapter details the added medical benefits of genetic testing, including preimplantation screening for single gene defects like cystic fibrosis, B thalassemia, Tay-Sachs disease
