好書共賞《從心再出發》/安德魯.馬修斯
'We don't make our lives meaningful with one great deed. We have to see meaning in lots of little deeds, and find a connection amongst them. Fred makes his million and asks: "What's it all about?" Mary scales the corporate ladder and says: "Where's the meaning in all this?" Sarah has her baby, but she is still depressed. There's no actual meaning in a million or in being company president or in being a mother. Meaning is in the present. Being "there" is no better then being "here." If you want to find meaning, you pay attention to the moment--and it's in the moment that you find the rewards.' (p. 141) 《從心再出發:決定成功人生的10大觀念》/安德魯.馬修斯/譯者 張艾茜/培根文化出版,2000年4月初版/ISBN 957-788-131-9/NT$150 Follow Your Heart: Finding Purpose in Your LIfe and Work / written and illustrated by Andrew Matthews / New York: Price Stern Sloan, 1997 / ISBN 0-8431-7491-9 / US$14.95 《從心再出發》(Follow Your Heart)是一本富於人生智慧、令人愛不釋手的小書。誠如作者安德魯.馬修斯(Andrew Matthews)所說,這本書的目的是在幫助我們思考人生的意義,找到生命的價值。他以風趣流暢的文筆、淺顯生動的例子,配上幽默活潑的插畫,來探討幾乎人人都理解、卻經常被我們忽略了的人生哲理。譬如:人只有一生,為甚麼不用來做你真正在乎的事?又譬如:外在的環境與他人,是我們無法改變和控制的,要想活得和諧快樂,我們唯一能做的是改變自己的思想、行為和態度。本書作者雖然是一位澳洲人,他的思想卻含有人生無常、以柔克剛、虛室生白、無蓬之心的老莊哲學,讓人讀來感到特別貼切。這本內容雋永、深入淺出的好書,告訴我們如何與他人和自我相處,如何保持內心的寧靜喜悅,能幫助我們活得踏實又快樂。 安德魯.馬修斯(Andrew Matthews)是一位藝術家與演說家,他為許多雜誌畫插畫,並曾贏得澳洲數項藝術獎座。他的口才靈活便捷,演講引人入勝,經常在世界各地演說,而且邊講邊畫卡通,非常受到觀眾的歡迎。他的其他著作包括《我變快樂了!Being Happy!》、《輕鬆自在交朋友Making Friends》,以及《Get Faxed!》,被翻譯成十八種語言,在全球五十個國家,銷售超過一百萬冊。
