我們清醒的時間，有超過80%都花在「自動駕駛」模式上。

什麼是「自動駕駛」模式？千里迢迢開車抵達目的地，卻對這趟旅程沒留下多少回憶，這種感覺我們都能體會。這是因為我們在做例行活動時，潛意識會接管我們的注意力以節省能量：我們進入「自動駕駛」模式。

同樣的事不只發生在開車時。我們每天工作、跟摯愛的人相處或單純只是過生活時，都會遇到這種狀況。《Wake Up!》提供一系列設計來幫你擺脫這個困境的實驗。從爬樹到寫信，本書給你一年份既多元、有趣的經驗，啟發你的想像力、刺激你的感官。

當你越常脫離「自動駕駛」模式，你會更進入狀況、更了解自己的本質，每天生活更充實。

《Wake Up!》提供52個簡單好玩的點子和活動，幫助我們更懂得享受生活、擺脫積習，更能察覺我們習慣忽略的奇妙事物。從爬樹到用微笑感染大家，從林中散步到每天穿同樣的穿著，無所不包。

作者Chris Baréz Brown 於2016年跟《心理學雜誌》(Psychologies Magazine)合作，對多位生活品味部落客測試其中幾項活動，獲得佳評如潮。96%試過的人說他們覺得更快樂了，92%的人強烈推薦這個方法。《Wake Up!》真正的喚醒你，讓你每一天都活得充實和有意義。

 

Chris Baréz Brown是暢銷作家、演說家和商業界的「披頭族」(beatnik)。他的世界觀相當與眾不同：他知道大家都是完美的。我們長大成人、社會化後，可能會埋沒這樣的才華，並往往失去真我。作者在2009年成立自己的公司「Upping Your Elvis」，幫助人們重拾內在天賦，恢復真我並變得有自信。被《衛報》(Guardian)形容為「長髮、眼神閃著光芒，相貌介於理查‧布蘭森(Richard Branson)和巫師之間」的作者，撰有暢銷書籍《Shine: How to Survive and Thrive at Work》和《Free: Love Your Work, Love Your Life》。2016年，他開始為《心理學雜誌》撰寫專欄，同時展開最新任務：The Great Wake Up!
