★　《今日美國》暢銷書★　The Next Big Idea Club 推薦必讀「這本書充滿了我希望自己在四十年前就知道的事。」――里德・海斯汀（Reed Hastings），Netflix 共同創辦人，暢銷書《零規則》作者「關於職涯成長的終極指南。」 ――亞當・格蘭特（Adam Grant），華頓商學院教授，暢銷書作者源自哈佛商學院領導課，匯聚千位工作者的生涯經歷職涯進步，不等於照既定階梯升遷。卡關不是因為不努力，而是套用了別人的成功標準。 用一套可操作的框架，重新設計你的職涯成長方式。想轉換跑道，卻不知道該怎麼選，害怕走錯方向、浪費時間？換了工作、薪水提高，卻發現時間更少、壓力更大，離理想生活反而更遠？在AI快速重塑職場的時代，開始懷疑現在的努力，是否真的能帶來想要的未來？ 這些問題，都是現代職場人共同面臨的困境。全球每年有十億工作者轉換跑道或工作異動，然而多數人都對結果不滿意，甚至感到後悔。本書三位作者伊森‧伯恩斯坦、麥可‧霍恩以及鮑伯‧莫伊斯塔透過哈佛商學院課程「培養自己成為領袖」（Developing Yourself as a Leader）追蹤上千位工作者的職涯超過十年，試圖解開一個關鍵問題：為什麼有些人能持續推進職涯，有些人卻反覆卡關？他們提出一個顛覆性的觀點：工作，不只是公司雇用你；而是你主動「雇用」一份工作，來推進你的人生。 ★用一套有效的方法，讓每一個職涯決定都帶來你想要的進步★Q1：我已經很努力，為什麼人生沒有更接近我想要的樣子？A：關鍵問題不是努力，而是方向。本書帶你釐清當下真正的優先順序，找出驅動你選擇的核心因素，讓努力對準「想要的進步」，而不是消耗在錯誤目標上。Q2：升遷、加薪都有了，為什麼還是沒有成就感？A：因為你忽略了工作的「整體回報」。除了薪資與職稱，一份工作同時消耗你的時間、精力與心理資源。本書教你評估「能量成本」，避免用短期報酬交換長期耗損。Q3：對現在的工作感到厭倦，但也不知道下一步要做什麼？A：不要從答案開始，而是從動力開始。透過分析讓你想離開的「推力」與吸引你的「拉力」，建立更有依據的選擇，而不是憑感覺做決定。Q4：我過去的經歷，真的對未來有用嗎？A：重點不在經歷本身，而在你如何使用它。本書提供「職涯資產負債表」，幫助你盤點可轉移的能力與關鍵經驗，重新組合成對未來有價值的資產。Q5：想換工作，但怕選錯，反而更糟？A：降低

A delightful and inspiring picture book about making time for the little things that make life rich and beautiful, from author Paola Quintavalle and award-winning illustrator Miguel Tanco Watching a flower grow. Taking time to say goodbye. Giving yourself the chance for another try. Holding hands and letting go. And welcoming the night when the moon is up. These are all things for which we need to make time--things that involve both imagination and intention, even though they are ordinary. By sharing these small moments, this playful, conceptual book inspires us not to waste but to fill the precious time we have on our hands.“A sunny look at living life with intention... Stresses the importance of making space not only for the momentary encounters in life but also for the emotions involved. Tanco’s pen illustrations are delicate and textured... A reminder to embrace the smaller moments in life with purpose.”-Kirkus Reviews"Short, evocative lines of text accompanied by loosely sketched,

我們無法停止壓力，但可以控制壓力對我們的影響。活用FREEDOM模型與SOS法則，科學地管理壓力，改變大腦對壓力的反應方式，調整至最佳狀態，讓保護生命的「生存腦」與理性思考的「學習腦」成功合作，與壓力共生，完成想追求的目標。每個人的大腦中都有一個警鈴，在感應到緊急時，警鈴就會啟動身體的壓力反應系統，進入自我保護的狀態，幫助面對挑戰、保持警覺並生存下去。壓力不是敵人，壓力真正的問題在於人們不知道大腦警鈴「啟動」後該如何緩和，使警鈴變得過於敏感，容易過度反應甚至誤報，讓大腦陷入長期且不必要的壓力反應，引發各種失控行為。失敗的壓力管理，會讓人在「生存腦」的影響下持續緊張，失去自控力，無法運用「學習腦」正常思考與解決問題。真正有效的壓力管理不只是放鬆，而是明確感受到自己握有掌控權。想成功管控壓力，就必須知道如何正確安撫、緩和並重設大腦警鈴，阻止壓力反應惡化成情緒崩潰，不讓極端活躍的大腦警鈴綁架你整個大腦、身體以及生活。過度把重點放在抑制壓力反應，告訴自己「要放鬆」、「不要擔心」、「別再抱怨了」，只是在發送「我無法掌控目前的壓力源」的訊息，只會加劇警鈴發作。大腦警鈴唯有在確定我們已經安全，或即便無法完全解決眼前危機但可以掌控時，才會停止輸送壓力化學物質、交還身體控制權。我們需要告訴警鈴，你知道它在擔心什麼，知道該做什麼並有能力處裡，才能從生存模式切換到學習模式，這就是壓力管理最重要、也是最容易遺漏的步驟──刻意專注在對你而言最重要的事情上，搞清楚最要緊的是什麼，找到核心價值與目標。專精情緒控管的心理醫師朱利安．福特博士，與長期輔導遭受重大壓力創傷者的喬恩．沃特曼結合腦神經科學研究、多年臨床與諮商經驗，說明大腦在壓力之下會如何變化，以及如何控制與巧妙運用大腦警鈴，改變大腦對壓力的反應方式：►以FREEDOM模型優化大腦，調整至最佳狀態•專注（Focusing）•辨識導火線（Recognizing triggers）•發揮情緒力量（Empowering your emotions）•實踐核心價值（Exercising your core values）•制定最佳目標（Determining your optimal goals）•做出最佳選擇（Optimizing your choices）•做出貢獻（Making contribution）►運用SOS法則，幫助大腦進入壓力控制
