每個當下，都是你領受豐盛的機會。當你以「無限領受」的意識過生活，愛與豐盛只是必然結果。顯化要有效，關鍵在於，必須先清除內在的不配得感，這是一本教你如何掃除無意識中「拒收願望」的書。列清單、許願，只是我們在意識上踩油門；若潛意識裡不敢「領受」，就如同緊踩剎車，抵銷油門。顯化的進展自然就停滯不前！你是很會給，卻不太會收的人嗎？對於他人的讚賞，你常害羞地拒絕嗎？你習慣親力親為，對依靠他人感到不放心嗎？請大大方方地收下，發自內心地說聲謝謝。今後你會越來越習慣，好事會發生在你的身上。學習做一個領受者，當你允許自己收下，生命只會給你更多！【本書簡介】「無限領受」是一種意識狀態，當你在能量上與之對齊，將會開啟一個喜悅豐盛的新世界。你知道人生中發生的每件事，都受到宇宙全然的支持，這個世界會善意地回應你，而不是跟你作對，因而體驗到澈底的放鬆與信任。本書是提升領受能力的指引手冊，告訴我們如何顯化事業、財富和夢想，一切從釋放內在的恐懼、羞愧、罪惡與批評開始。透過書中的冥想練習與肯定句，練習覺察自己的能量頻率──是保持在領受，還是執著、控制和費力追求？書中的第一部分，先重構我們對於財富的概念；第二部分，談論如何透過四大支柱的架構，在個人領域開拓豐盛。書中收錄作者多年來的親身實證及個案分享，也透過問答形式，對常見錯誤觀念做出釐清，讓讀者獲得最完整的指導。【財富的三元素】從無限領受的觀點來看，財富是由三個不同的元素所組成：・內在財富：你的內在對於價值與豐盛的感受，你對錢的安全感。不論我的外在環境為何，不論我周遭發生什麼，我是否感覺富裕、安全與穩定？・體驗財富：你對美好生活的體驗，以及你的生活方式。你是否有能力也有意願，去選擇你想要的事物，無須克制退縮？・可槓桿財富：常被誤認為是財富的唯一定義。你的銀行戶頭裡有多少錢，以及你賺錢與累積金錢的容易程度？【無限領受的顯化步驟】步驟一・聚焦於你渴望的事物步驟二・真心知曉你的顯化其實「已經完成」步驟三・決定你要成為怎樣的人步驟四・享受並且感激這個過程步驟五・採取對齊所願的實際行動【無限領受的四大支柱】・無限偉大之柱：接受你就是生命本源的獨特神聖表達。你此刻就是完滿的、完整的，而且也是夠好的，無需透過外在的肯定與否定，認同與不認同。 ・無限支持之柱：接受他人的支持與幫助，別再獨自攬下一切。下一次有人想要替你開門，幫你提袋子，送你禮物，請感謝地說「好」，而不

Fox--the beloved and popular trickster character featured in the Geisel Award-winning books Fox Has a Problem, Fox at Night, and Fox the Tiger--is on the move! But Fox knows that life is about the journey, not the destination, and if his untraditional transportation methods get him in a bit of trouble, he can always try again tomorrow. Kirkus Reviews calls Corey R. Tabor "a master of the early reader."Where is Fox going? But more importantly, how is he getting there?A train? A bus? A surfboard? A waterfall? Fox's travel methods may be a bit unusual, but we would expect nothing less from our terrific, trickster friend.Wry, repetitive text with carefully chosen language and a limited vocabulary allows for an accessible read while charming illustrations provide context and comedy in Corey R. Tabor's award-winning Fox series, making it a perfect choice for emerging readers and their caretakers. The Fox series, which is comprised of both picture books and beginning readers, has received thr

[名家名著] 37 Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs中文版：掌握軟體開發中的錯誤、取捨與關鍵決策 Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs: How to make good programming decisions ❝Teddy長期研究Pattern Language，有一個很深的體會：每一個設計決策，都只是「局部的回應」。真正困難的，是把這些局部組織成一個和諧的整體。 AI可以提供大量「局部解法」，但整合這些解法需要的，是對「這個團隊、這個市場、這個時間點」的情境理解。這種情境沒辦法完全寫成規格書，因為它牽涉到人的能力邊界、組織的演進節奏、技術債的承受極限。這些東西每個專案都不一樣，而且會隨時間改變。這不是AI的context window再怎麼變大就能解決的問題。 要看見整體，不能只盯著零件。AI幫你把門檻拉低之後，真正稀缺的能力，是在眾多可能性之中，做出有脈絡、能長期承擔的選擇。不是盲目的節制，而是清楚知道代價之後，有意識地決定扛下哪些、放掉哪些。 如果鄉民們希望自己在AI時代，不只是會下提示詞的PM，而是能為系統負責的架構師，那麼這本書值得細細品味。❞ ────「搞笑談軟工」板主Teddy Chen　專文推薦 ❝在軟體工程的實務現場，幾乎沒有哪一個決策是「免費」的。每一次選擇某種架構、某種設計模式、某種API風格，或某種錯誤處理策略，實際上都意味著放棄其他可能性。這些放棄，往往不會在當下立即顯現代價，而是潛伏在未來的維護成本、效能瓶頸、擴充困難、組織協作摩擦與技術債之中。 《Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs中文版》所關注的，正是這些在實際上線系統（production systems）中反覆出現的取捨問題。本書並不試圖建立一套抽象理論，而是從具體情境出發：在特定背景、限制與壓力之下，團隊如何做出選擇？有哪些替代方案？當時忽略了什麼？哪些後果在事後才浮現？哪些判斷其實是合理的，只是代價延後到未來？ 這樣的視角，使本書成為一本極具實務厚度的工程決策紀錄。❞ ────博碩文化資深編輯與翻譯　盧國鳳 ❝真希望我能在職涯更早期就讀到這本書。書中濃縮了許多從實務中得來的寶貴經驗。❞ ────Dave Corun，Avanade ❝清楚而精準地總結了多年軟體工程實務的精華，新手與老手都值

Winner of the 2026 International Booker PrizeWinner of the 2024 National Book Award for Translated LiteratureWinner of the 2024 Baifang Schell Book Prize for Outstanding Translated Literature from Chinese LanguageA bittersweet story of love between two women, nested in an artful exploration of language, history, and powerMay 1938. The young novelist Aoyama Chizuko has sailed from her home in Nagasaki, Japan, and arrived in Taiwan. She's been invited there by the Japanese government ruling the island, though she has no interest in their official banquets or imperialist agenda. Instead, Chizuko longs to experience real island life and to taste as much of its authentic cuisine as her famously monstrous appetite can bear.Soon a Taiwanese woman--who is younger even than she is, and who shares the characters of her name--is hired as her interpreter and makes her dreams come true. The charming, erudite, meticulous Chizuru arranges Chizuko's travels all over the Land of the South and also prov

佛洛姆版《夢的解析》夢是超越時空的共通語言，神話、童話與儀式則是通往心靈的窗口。最具洞察力的社會心理學家佛洛姆，告訴我們：人如何在夢中看見最真實的自我人每晚都會做夢：死去的人復活、人可以任意穿越時空……這些在睡夢中出現的超現實場景，在清醒時往往被我們視為毫無意義、轉瞬即逝的影像。心理學大師佛洛姆主張：夢並非毫無意義，而是一種以「被遺忘的語言」所表達的重要訊息。這種「被遺忘的語言」就是「象徵語言」：以感官體驗與外在事件來表達人的感受與思想，其邏輯不受時間與空間的支配，以情感強度與意象聯想為核心。無論古希臘人的神話，還是今日紐約人的夢境，都用象徵語言來表達。對古代人而言，不懂得詮釋神話與夢境，形同文盲。然而現代人已遺忘這門語言――不是在睡著做夢時，而是在清醒時。佛洛姆在本書回顧佛洛伊德與榮格的釋夢理論，並提出更完整觀點。他認為夢既揭露人的非理性欲望，也展現人在清醒時難以企及的智慧。透過豐富實例，從個人夢境到伊底帕斯神話、小紅帽童話、卡夫卡的小說《審判》，佛洛姆指出，這些故事竟與我們的夢境擁有相同的語法與象徵，因此也能用理解夢的方式來閱讀與詮釋。正如《塔木德》所說：「未經理解的夢就像一封未打開的信件。」讀這本書，就像打開一扇通往人類集體心靈的門，讓我們重新看見：夢境並非毫無意義的影像，而是潛藏著文化記憶、個人心聲與生命智慧的訊息。本書特色夢是什麼？對於這個問題，不同的心理學家有不同的答案。佛洛依德說：「夢是被壓抑欲望的實現。」榮格說：「夢是集體無意識的象徵。」而佛洛姆身為心理學家與精神分析師，同樣經常以「釋夢」來治療患者。在他看來：「夢是心理活動的有意義表現，我們能運用象徵語言讀懂人的內心世界。」在《被遺忘的語言》中，佛洛姆不僅提出許多臨床案例，說明精神分析師如何運用象徵語言的原理為患者釋夢，更將這套方法擴展到更廣的領域。他指出，神話、童話、卡夫卡的小說等文學作品，都能像釋夢一樣來理解――透過象徵語言，我們能讀懂這些作品背後真正反映的內心世界。
