你的對手不是別人，是你自己！ ★傳說中的經典，暢銷50年的「教練聖經」，全球銷量突破150萬冊！★特別收錄比爾‧蓋茲（Bill Gates）的序言、以及出版50週年的後記感言 ★前世界網球球后比莉‧珍‧金（Billie Jean King）稱這本書是她的網球聖經；美國前副總統高爾（Al Gore）用這本書來凝聚他的競選團隊；偉大的小提琴家帕爾曼（Itzhak Perlman）也推薦這本書給年輕的小提琴手 比爾‧蓋茲：「這本書我看了很多次，是我所讀過最棒的網球書籍，當中提到的深刻建議可以應用在生活的許多領域。我到今天還是會買這本書送給朋友。」 50年來，這本書不僅陪伴讀者贏得比賽，更鼓舞他們的人生！------本書於1974年首次出版時，可說是開先河，是第一本談論「運動心理學」的書。作者提摩西‧高威運用了接近「禪學」的思想，為運動選手缺乏自信、緊張、無法專注等問題，提出了全新的學習方法。 他提倡要用引導（而非技術指導）的方式，拋棄評判之心、練習專注、學會如何觀察自己，進而達到「自然而然的進步」。 之後，他將「內心比賽」的概念帶到企業界，開展出「教練式領導」（coaching leadership）這個新領域。高威也因此被稱為「教練之父」。 ------------------------------這本書不談技巧，只談心態、心理素質。 無論是什麼比賽，其實都分成兩部分：一個是外在比賽（outer game），一個是內心比賽（inner game）。 「外在比賽」，你面對的是一個實際存在的對手，你必須克服這個障礙，達成一個具體的目標。市面上大部分的書會教你如何克服「外在比賽」，給予各種各樣的指導，來幫助你達成勝利，例如打網球的時候，你要如何揮拍、你手臂的高度、你的腳步要如何等等。但是，這些原則很容易記，卻不容易「用出來」。 事實上，我們真正面對的是「內心比賽」，這個比賽是發生在選手的心裡，他們要克服的是無法專注、緊張、自我懷疑、患得患失。也就是，所有心中冒出來的「碎碎唸」。 他們時常會碰到，為什麼昨天比賽打得很好，但是今天就打得一塌糊塗？ 他們時常的困擾是：「我不是不知道該怎麼做，問題是，我就是做不好。」「我在練習的時候打得很好，但是到了比賽就不行。」

In Christianity and Education in Modern China, Wong Man Kong, George Kam Wah Mak, and other contributors demonstrate how Christianity served as a driving force in the development of modern education in China. Each of the chapters offers new insights into Christian involvement in different issues concerning education in modern China.

Also explored are the Christian legacies of higher education in mainland China and Taiwan, as well as how the spirit of Christian higher education in modern China has been carried on in Asia. This volume suggests that Western missionary and Chinese Christian perspectives of higher education were complementary with each other in modern China.

Data-fixated readers will enjoy unpicking its main content: a series of elegantly produced maps, graphs and other visualisations.

In this open access book, Carlos Montemayor illuminates the development of artificial intelligence (AI) by examining our drive to live a dignified life. He uses the notions of agency and attention to consider our pursuit of what is important. His method shows how the best way to guarantee value alignment between humans and potentially intelligent machines is through attention routines that satisfy similar needs.Setting out a theoretical framework for AI Montemayor acknowledges its legal, moral, and political implications and takes into account how epistemic agency differs from moral agency. Through his insightful comparisons between human and animal intelligence, Montemayor makes it clear why adopting a need-based attention approach justifies a humanitarian framework. This is an urgent, timely argument for developing AI technologies based on international human rights agreements.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycolle
