★榮獲誠品選書推薦 ★橫掃法國各大暢銷榜冠軍，上市一週再刷15萬冊！銷售逾35萬冊！ ★全法最推崇，合計坐擁400萬追隨者的科學家僧侶、精神科醫師、暢銷哲學家， 10天暢談80個小時，關於生命重要問題的精采問答！ 三個老朋友， 三種關於「人」的專業、三種面對人生的智慧， 從不同的生活經驗中叩問： 是什麼帶給生命喜樂和痛苦？ 應該如何安住此生？ 哲學家、精神科醫師和佛教僧侶，多年來一直想合寫一本書。 三人因為這個企畫而相聚十天，就他們認為生命中最重要的問題促膝長談。 不是辯論，而是傾盡真心的深度交會。 他們的觀點意見不盡一致，但目的都是盡可能減少人生的痛苦和消極情緒，啟發人追求幸福的潛能，發現和發掘「利他」的人生動機，從而獲得真正自由幸福的人生。 希望讀者能從這本書裡感受到我們在交流時的勤奮認真，以及歡樂氣氛，感受到我們即席而發的精神。 我們竭力使談話具有一貫性，不致散漫無章。也希望把想法充分向讀者傳達。 現在就請在我們身邊坐下來，坐在一張椅子上，或者是更靠近我們一點，和我們一起坐在舒適的舊沙發上。 壁爐裡的火畢畢剝剝響著，窗外是隨河谷開展的景色。 冬天的太陽漸漸變蒼白，茶壺裡的茶冒著熱氣，暖了手，也刺激了我們的心神。 亞歷山大淘氣起來，說了個笑話；馬修扶一扶他的眼鏡，擊掌叮嚀大家專心一點；克里斯多福再看一眼他前一天晚上寫在小筆記本上的筆記（他知道他狡猾的伙伴經常會轉頭看他，要他第一個發表意見）。 談話就要開始了，現在就只缺讀者您了…… 關於「與身體同行」──克里斯多福 ＊像尊重大自然一樣地尊重我們的身體。 身體並不屬於我們專有，就像大自然不屬於我們。我們不過是地球的房客，好比我們是身體的房客。我們的身體在死後會被收回，就如同大自然在我們死後會繼續存在一樣。 ＊接受並愛惜我們的衰老。 把「老」看做是一個幫助，協助我們不再依戀自己的身體，並藉此準備離開它。沒有遺憾地、輕輕緩緩地離開，就像離開一個暫時借我們的東西那樣，我們的身體也將為未來的世代所回收。 關於「好好運用情緒」──馬修 ＊讓你的注意力變銳利，以便在負面情緒浮現之時就能有所意識。熄滅星星之火比撲滅森林大火容易。 ＊學習更了解自己的情緒。訓練自己分辨對自己和他人身心安泰有益的，以及會摧毀這些的事物。 ＊一旦負面情緒明顯帶來了不良後果，那就快向它的解藥靠攏，也就是尋求正面情緒的幫助。 ＊持續培養正面情緒，直到正面情緒成為我們不可分離的一部分。 關於「面對自我」──亞歷山大 ＊照顧好自己。 為了擺脫「自我」，或至少讓「自我」沉靜，確實將自己照顧好，並且辨別出真正感到喜樂的事物。否則在我們挫折、痛苦、忿忿不平的時候，「自我」便會激盪起來。 ＊「我是誰？」 覺得焦慮時，立刻問自己：是「誰」在害怕？辨別出那即使是在騷亂中也總是藏在內心深處的安寧所在。 ＊把感激他人當做「精神操練」。 以具體行動幫助他人，投入團結互助這個無限迴圈裡。 【各界好評】 詹宏志（PChome...
