Behavior

Jane Austen’s timeless tale of sisters navigating love and loss in a new film adaptation starring Daisy Edgar-Jones.Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby, she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behavior leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love — and its threatened loss — the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love. Austen’s classic wit and timeless themes that have enamored generations of readers will once again make their way to the big screen in a fresh film adaptation starring Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People, Where the Crawdads Sing).

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK - A BOOKER PRIZE NOMINEE - From the Nobel Prize-winning author of Never Let Me Go and The Remains of the Day, a magnificent novel about the wondrous, mysterious nature of the human heart. "A masterpiece that will make you think about life, mortality, the saving grace of love: in short, the all of it." --Maureen Corrigan, NPR Here is the story of Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, who, from her place in the store, watches carefully the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside.

A thrilling feat of world-building and a novel of exquisite tenderness and impeccable restraint, Klara and the Sun is a magnificent achievement, one that offers a look at our changing world through the eyes of

心理學大師、REBT（Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy）理情行為治療法創始者亞伯．艾里斯親傳弟子力作本土首部將理情行為治療應用於親子教養的著作AI世代的父母是比以往更焦慮的父母。家長們們非常用心的想給孩子所有的好處，把一切可以預先除去的學習障礙物都挪走，讓孩子安穩地長大成為卓越人物。街頭櫛次鱗比的補習班廣告，網路上令人眼花撩亂的訊息，家長要如何選擇呢？真令家長頭痛啊！然而，家長現在的投資與付出的努力，真的有助於提升孩子面對未來世界的能力嗎？父母根據過去自己的經驗能夠勾勒出未來世界的面貌嗎？是不是該先想一想未來世界是什麼狀況？需要什麼樣的條件才能適應生存呢？是不是需要先瞭解一下未來世界的工作環境及人際關係的狀況，再來規劃孩子的學習呢？現代父母也非常用心經營親子關係，希望跟好好孩子溝通，培養如同朋友般的關係。但是家長往往也有面對孩子的問題，難以控制自己的負面情緒而十分自責的困擾。現代父母真是難為！對自己期待高越高的家長，失望相對就越大。其實情緒是有辦法學習認識的。藉著瞭解與轉換想法，可以降低情緒對親子關係的影響。這便是REBT（理情行為治療）的基本概念。作者武自珍老師是心理學大師、REBT創始者亞伯．艾里斯親傳弟子，也曾在生命線和學生諮商中心，做過各式各樣的個案輔導。她從任教東海大學社工系以來，便經常進行各種親子關係講座，也因為諮商心理師的身分，她輔導過各式各樣的家庭和親子案例。因為師承艾里斯，所以她將REBT應用於親子關係上，用REBT理情行為治療法來解除親子的各式焦慮情緒與緊張關係，成效卓著。REBT中所謂的ABCDE，簡單來說分別指：A　（Activating Event ，引發事件） ：每天碰到的事情，也就是情緒引發事件。例如，王小姐走在路上，被人撞了，東西被摔壞了，是一件很不愉快的事情。B　（Belief， 信念） ：對A引發事件相關的想法。碰到一個引起情緒的事情，人自然在腦中浮起一連串的想法。一般我們意識到的，大概是這些直接的反應。但是我們會自然地繼續想下去。這時候對行為的解釋，假定他的動機、對你的意義等等就開始出現。例如，王小姐認為撞到她的人是故意的，是有意傷害她的等等。C　（Consequence Emotion，情緒結果） ：就是A加上B引起你的心情反應和結果。例如，王小姐原先的生氣，以及後來發現原來對方是因為有急事而
