內容提內容提要根據自己原來的樣子，審時度勢，隨機應變，選擇一種可以安身立命的生活方式。本來面目，不忘初心：在天地穹蒼之中，以本來面目擘劃願景。見自己之心性，見天地之大化，見眾生之悲憫。審時度勢，隨機應變：後現代的生涯發展面臨科技與職場的急劇變化，生涯諮商與輔導強調順時而動，因機以發。安身以和，立命以德：安身立命是華人獨有的生涯實存狀態。安身之道，中為體，和為用；立命之道，誠為體，德為用。本書系統的介紹了生涯諮商與輔導的相關理論與實踐方法，適用於心理學、教育學、心理諮商與社會工作等專業的大學生與研究生研習，亦可供學校輔導老師、諮商師、社工師與職涯指導人員培訓之用。三版序 這是個烏卡 (VUCA) 時代，一個充滿著波動性 (Volatile)、不確定性 (Uncertainty)、複雜性 (Complexity) 和模糊性 (Ambiguity) 的世界。在二十世紀，人類關注的是可預測和穩定性的生涯目標。然而在二十一世紀，「不確定性」就是這個時代的關鍵詞，科技有不確定性，職場有不確定性，乃至明日的種種，都有高度的不確定性。 正如狄更斯 (Charles Dickens, 1812-1870)《雙城記》(A tale of two cities) 的卷首所描述的，這是最好的時代，也是最壞的時代；失序與秩序並存，典型的混沌時代。諺云：「一隻站在樹上的小鳥，從來不擔心樹枝會斷裂，因為它相信的不是樹枝，而是它自己的翅膀。」狂風、暴雨、乾旱等意外，都是造成樹枝斷裂的不可控變化。我們接受變化的真實，認識到穩定和變化是生命的一體兩面，有成功就有失敗，有陰霾就有機會，如同生涯混沌理論蝴蝶效應的雙翅。 我們相信的是自己的翅膀。當代諮商心理學本土化的思潮風起雲湧，強調文化的自覺與自信。我們憑藉鳥瞰東西方文化的視野，從多元文化的殊性與共性中，思索生涯發展的大哉問：我是誰？我從哪裡來？我要往哪裡去？在這個前提之下，「何謂生涯規劃？」「為何要生涯規劃？」「生涯如何規劃？」文獻上怎麼說固然重要，重點是站在這塊土地上的我們自己怎麼想？ 我在授課的講義上，寫下了我的想法：「根據自己原來的樣子，審時度勢，隨機應變，選擇一種可以安身立命的生活方式。」這個理念，也成了我充實 本書第三版的基調。 願景規劃就是實現「我的夢」，必須以自己的樣子為基礎。若將願景的「願」字拆開來看，正體字 (願) 左「原」右

From the Pulitzer-Prize-winning New York Times reporter who has defined Donald J. Trump's presidency like no other journalist: a magnificent and disturbing reckoning that moves beyond simplistic caricature, chronicling his rise in New York City to his tortured post-presidency and his potential comeback.Few journalists working today have covered Donald Trump more extensively than Maggie Haberman. And few understand him and his motivations better. Now, demonstrating her majestic command of this story, Haberman reveals in full the depth of her understanding of the 45th president himself, and of what the Trump phenomenon means.Interviews with hundreds of sources and numerous interviews over the years with Trump himself portray a complicated and often contradictory historical figure. Capable of kindness but relying on casual cruelty as it suits his purposes. Pugnacious. Insecure. Lonely. Vindictive. Menacing. Smarter than his critics contend and colder and more calculating than his allies

What are genes? What do genes do? These questions are not simple and straightforward to answer; at the same time, simplistic answers are quite prevalent and are taken for granted. This book aims to explain the origin of the gene concept, its various meanings both within and outside science, as well as to debunk the intuitive view of the existence of 'genes for' characteristics and disease. Drawing on contemporary research in genetics and genomics, as well as on ideas from history of science, philosophy of science, psychology and science education, it explains what genes are and what they can and cannot do. By presenting complex concepts and research in a comprehensible and rigorous manner, it examines the potential impact of research in genetics and genomics and how important genes actually are for our lives. Understanding Genes is an accessible and engaging introduction to genes for any interested reader.
