★暢銷書《過得還不錯的一年》、《安靜,就是力量》作者盛情推薦!

這本書是改變遊戲者!

有時候,一個最簡單的想法就能為我們的生活創造最大的改變。

越來越多人對生活感到疏離、不滿意,也有不少人陷於遺憾悔恨、健康每況愈下的困境。當每個關於提升生活的善意建言蜂擁而至時,我們根本不知道自己適用哪個,更不清楚從哪開始做起,因為我們希望自己艱難執行那些宣稱能帶來希望的建議,最後只是消耗我們的時間與精力,撲了個空。

這本書現在正是解決這些疑慮的靈丹。作者從心理學、文學、哲學(東、西方並進)煉取關於美好生活的想法,並揉和自己多年來追尋大師角度的真實經歷,提出一個簡單又有力量的「美好生活桶」(good life buckets)。

作者提出一個人的生活是由三個桶子構成:第一桶是活力(vitality),說明你的身、心狀態;第二桶是聯繫(connection),意指你與人相處的關係;第三桶是貢獻(contribution),代表你對世界的付出。只要我們每天為美好生活桶注入一個新穎、易行與有意義的想法,並且重複地做,便能塑造我們理想的美好生活。

當你的三個桶子裝得越滿,生活也就越美好。

《過得還不錯的一年》作者葛瑞琴.魯賓盛讚:每天例行生活的壓力,很容易讓我們忘記什麼是最重要的事,而我們都渴望擁有一個更有能量、樂觀、良好互動的生活,卻不知從何開始?本書作者現在告訴我們。

The book will help those who want to give their life more meaning, value and deep breaths.”──A. J. Jacobs, New York Times best-selling author of Drop Dead Healthy and My Life As an Experiment

"With his trademark warmth, intelligence, and awesome sense of humor, Jonathan Fields does more than explain how a good life is possible--he gives point-by-point, actionable steps to make it so.

It turns out that a good life, with all of its wonder, brilliance, and chaos is far, far better than a perfect life.
