第一本最珍貴且最具洞見的愛經 如何在覺知中相愛，同時無懼地相處！

人类的关系始于施与受，而施与受又开启了我们的清白与罪疚的经验。这是因为，一方带着期待而付出，接受的一方则感觉自己背负着回报的义务。一方带着期待，另一方则感受到义务，如此一来，造就了每一段关系中的罪疚与清白，也使付出与接受的两方交换位置；除非最终的施与受达到平衡，否则无论是付出或接受的一方，都不会满意。这意味着接受的一方将有机会付出，而付出的一方也必须能够接受。 无论快乐与否，当我们接受了别人的礼物，我们也失去了独立与清白。当我们接受时，会觉得对给予者有所亏欠，我们会因亏欠而感到不舒服，并且努力回报以使自己释放这样的压力。每一份礼物背后，都有这样的代价。另一方面，当我们不求回报地给予某人或是付出大于回报时，通常会以愉悦的方式经验到清白感，也就是当我们不亏欠任何人、无所求或没有得到任何赠予时，我们通常会有轻松而自由的愉悦感。 当施与受能够平衡，我们才能经...(展开全部)

In Adventures in Human Being, Gavin Francis leads the reader on a journey through health and illness, offering insights on everything from the ribbed surface of the brain to the secret workings of the heart and the womb; from the pulse of life at the wrist to the unique enginee...(展开全部)

The book charts the progress of a love affair from the first kiss to argument and reconciliation, from intimacy and tenderness to the onset of anxiety and heartbreak. The work's genius lies in the way it minutely analyses emotions we've all felt before but have perhaps never under...(展开全部)

Lean and controlled in their narration, abundant and moving in their effects, Maile Meloy's stories introduce a striking talent. Most are set in the modern American West, made vivid and unexpected in Meloy's unsentimental vision; others take us to Paris, wartime London, and Greece, with the same remarkable skill and intuition.In "Four Lean Hounds, ca. 1976," two couples face a ...(展开全部)

Selected for Richard & Judy's Summer Read, Maile Meloy's brilliant novel, Liars and Saints, was acclaimed by readers and reviewers alike. In deceptively straightforward writing, Meloy depicted the story of the Santerre family with remarkable insight and perception, creating 'an emotional resonance that lasts long after the last page' (Daily Mail). This same talent is again on d...(展开全部)

The volatile, perilous course of events set in motion when two divorced mothers agree to “pool their resources” and live together, with...(展开全部)

Perhaps no other of the world’s great writers lived and wrote with the passionate intensity of D. H. Lawrence. And perhaps no other of his books so explores the mysteries between men and women–both sensual and intellectual–as Women in Love. Written in the years before and during World War I in a heat of great energy, and criticized for its exploration of human sexuality, the bo...(展开全部)

Lawrence's finest, most mature novel initially met with disgust and incomprehension. In the love affairs of two sisters, Ursula with Rupert, and Gudrun with Gerald, critics could only see a sorry tale of sexual depravity and philosophical obscurity. Women in Love is, however, a profound response to a whole cultural crisis. The 'progress' of the modern industrialised world had l...(展开全部)
