隨想集續 一些踩踏在虛空中的足跡 願我們心無波瀾，澄澈如天空。願我們彼此護慰，以度過這暫時的黑暗。 在出版了《隨想集》（2013-2022 年）三年之後，現在又集結了別冊《隨想集續》（2023-2025 年），以與心靈相契的朋友在靈魂的暗夜中互通款曲。這三年中，時代丕變！我們被催逼著隨著時代的鼓聲急速前行！將去往何方？不可確知，無法掌控。回顧身後？我們所熟悉的世界已一去不返了。這不僅是當代、也是古今共通的情境。思及此，我又要吟誦英國詩人馬修‧阿諾德（Matthew Arnold, 1822-1888）的詩句了，當時他與新婚妻子漫步在英國多佛海邊，遙見對岸法國的熠熠燈火：（這是最後的一段）Ah, love, let us be trueTo one another! For the world, which seemsTo lie before us like a land of dreams,So various, so beautiful, so new,Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,Nor certitude, no peace, nor help for pain;And we are here as on a darkling plainSwept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,Where ignorant armies clash by night.馬修‧阿諾德所處的十九世紀，是一個變動劇烈的時代，工業革命的浪潮如海嘯般湧來，作為心靈與生活支柱的宗教信仰也受到人們的質疑，他身處其中，內心感到極度的惶惑不安 ―如此紛繁，如此美麗，如此新穎，其實沒有歡樂，沒有愛，沒有光，沒有明確，沒有和平，沒有對痛苦的救贖；詩人是先知吧？德國詩人海涅（Heinrich Heine, 1797-1856）早已警告世人：德意志的民族主義將為人類帶來大禍，果然。馬修‧阿諾德的惶惑不安也非無病呻吟，他謝世之後不到三十年，爆發了第一次世界大戰，他詩中描述的爭戰相殘不幸成真。現在，二十一世紀在驚濤駭浪中走過了四分之一，網路、人工智能、商業與消費主義……撒下漫天巨網，傳統價值與既有體制正在崩壞瓦解，我們心中的惶惑不安較諸十九世紀的先賢們更為猛烈。我的讀者朋友們―願我們心無波

【這場戲，誰才是真正的壞女巫？】一場夏日營隊、一齣音樂劇，以及一場醞釀了六年的友誼崩塌。對 Eowyn 來說，藍普萊特湖夏季營隊是她唯一的避難所。在那裡，她可以暫時忘記喪母之痛，並與她最好的朋友 Jules 重逢。她們曾約定要一起演出最愛的音樂劇《女巫前傳》(Wicked)。 Eowyn 是壞女巫 Elphaba，而 Jules 則是好女巫 Glinda。但在第六個夏天，一切都變了。Jules 變得冷漠、避而不見，甚至成了最熟悉的陌生人。「每個故事都有兩面，如果你想知道真相，就得聽聽兩個人的說法。」透過兩位少女交替的視角與橫跨六年的回憶剪輯，《Take It from the Top》 像是一場情感的解謎遊戲。作者 Claire Swinarski 犀利地剝開了友誼中隱藏的特權、偏見與誤解。Set at a camp over the course of six summers, this novel dives into the falling-out of two girls from different backgrounds who thought they'd be friends forever...until a production of Wicked brings all their buried issues to the surface.

數位社會如何改變了我們？我們現在缺少的是空閒。稍事休息，人生就會改變。數位排毒，為生活帶來積極的改變！「工作不順心」、「感情出問題」、「最近睡多久還是睏」、「總是焦慮或不耐煩」、「頭痛、腰痛」等現代人面臨的許多問題，都是因為「腦疲勞」造成的！由於數位技術的快速發展，我們人類正在經歷「大腦疲勞」。為了擺脫現代人特有的無用感和生活艱辛，並憧憬一種更幸福的生活方式，重要的是抽出時間休息一下。誠如約翰．藍儂所唱的歌〈Living is easy with eyes closed〉，「人生若閉上眼睛而活就很容易」。大家都處在思考停止狀態而忙得不可開交時，只有自己一個人在休息是需要勇氣的。我們就生活在這樣的時代中。其實如何休息才是最重要的！透過閱讀本書，你可以組織自己的休息方式！為了在高地社會過著充實的生活，現在是我們奪回被時間竊賊偷走的「空閒時間」的時候了。我們之所以不能如願地發揮自己的能力，不是因為缺乏「能力」，而是因為缺乏「容量」。很多人的智慧型手機已經充滿電，但卻無法為自己的裝置充電。但，那將是一種遺憾。本書借鑒了來自世界各地過去和現在的大量研究和經典著作，以思考「人們為什麼會失去充實的時間？」這個問題。並鳥瞰現代社會。在現代，「閒暇」被視為是沒有任何產出、沒有效率的存在──「應該要填補閒暇的時間」──因而被擠壓到角落去。可是透過將閒暇放置在人類社會的中心，並思考其創造法以及活用法，就能讓更多人獲得休息，並自動產生出改變人生的能量。而且在忙碌的現代生活中，我們其實也能簡單採用那樣的休息。在過勞成為社會問題的現今，市面上有許多關於休息的方法論，但多數都是說到「該如何休息（How）」，幾乎沒有從本質提問到底「為什麼要休息（Why）」的。那麼，為什麼要休息呢──如果要回答這個問題，那就是在自己人生中，甚至是社會中「能引起積極正面的變革」。不是單純讓明天、後天都做出相同思考、工作、維持現狀才「休息」。不論是要改變自己還是改變社會，都需要有許多能量，所以要「休息」。為什麼我們無法抵抗數位的誘惑？數位社會如何改變了我們的身心？生活在現代的我們是被什麼所束縛著？該如何從置身的體制轉以富足的閒暇社會為目標，並找出能讓眾人都獲得幸福的策略性「閒暇」具體實踐法。我們所需要的「策略」是找回屬於自己的閒暇，並能將由那分閒暇所培育出的思考以及能量往對個人以及社會來說都是好的方向去發揮。而展示那分

如果知識也能像冒險一樣好玩，那會是什麼樣子？在《Cute FACTopia!》裡，200個關於世界「最可愛的一面」的知識，串成一條意想不到的探索旅程。你會認識睡覺時耳朵會抖動的侏儒河馬 Moo Dheng，發現世界上最迷你的泰迪熊，還會知道大象其實會在雨中跳舞，而人類寶寶在媽媽肚子裡就可能打嗝。旅程甚至一路延伸到太空——那裡有像橡皮鴨的彗星，還有表面出現巨大愛心冰原的矮行星。最有趣的是，每一個知識都會連到下一個，有時還會出現分岔路線，讓你跳到另一個完全不同卻又奇妙相關的主題。翻開這本書，就像展開一場沒有終點的好奇心冒險。A super-cute adventure through 200 adorable facts, in an irresistible pocket-sized book.Follow an ingenious trail of 200 facts about all things cute, cosy and sweet.
