中文概要: 本书既是一段个人陈述，又是信息丰富的科学观点，探讨了暴食症的问题。作者Kathryn Hansen在书中坦诚地与大家分享了自己作为暴食症患者的经历和恢复的方法。本书与其它相关图书的主要区别在于，它没有将暴食症作为复杂的情绪和心理问题的表现形式。作者在书中反驳了这种主流观点，并解释了为什么传统饮食紊乱疗法没能治好包括她自己在内的许多人的暴食症。她用一种全新的方式看待自己的暴食症，并利用自己大脑的力量快速且永久地治愈了暴食症。作者还对进食障碍的一些相关话题如低自尊、不良体型、节食等进行了启发性的探讨。本书是一部勇敢的作品，能够通过其传播的有关自由意志、自我依赖和自我控制的积极信息帮助许多人。（LYR）

英文简介: Second Edition:

After completely and independently conquering a debilitating eating disorder, Kathryn Hansen wrote Brain over Binge to share her struggle—and her escape from it—with those still trapped in the compulsive binge-purge cycle. Since the book’s initial release in 2011, it has endured as an essential road map for using the power of the brain to erase harmful habits and create lasting change. The second edition is fully revised and updated with new information, compelling insights, and uplifting success stories that will inspire readers to break free from their own self-defeating behaviors.

Brain over Binge is both a memoir and a scientific account, providing a gripping personal narrative and a research-based perspective on bulimia and binge eating disorder. Kathryn traces the course of her own condition and then describes in detail her unconventional approach to recovery. In the process, she offers a much-needed alternative viewpoint on the landscape of eating disorder literature to help others in the throes of any form of out-of-control eating.

The mainstream view of bulimia holds that it’s a complex disorder that manifests as a means of coping with deep underlying emotional and psychological problems. But the author resolutely departs from this philosophy, cuts through the confusion she experienced in traditional therapy, and simplifies both the origins of binge eating and its cure. As Kathryn explains the brain-based principles that led to her recovery from relentless bingeing and purging, Brain over Binge sheds current and crucial light on our human potential to overcome destructive patterns and reclaim our lives.

英文简介: In Ready to Dive, Curt Newport describes his role in some of the most daring and consequential deep ocean search and recovery operations of our time. Newport was there on the front lines and in the trenches, rigging lift lines, piloting underwater vehicles, and dealing with the carnage following both military and civilian plane crashes. Starting with his life as the son of a US Army aviator during various international postings before covering his conflicts with his father during the turbulent 1960s, the book details how he got into the subsea field. In a career lasting nearly fifty years, probing waters deeper than three miles, Newport describes unwinding passenger clothing from submersible propellers during the Air India salvage, recovering tons of volatile fuel–laden solid rocket motor parts from the Space Shuttle Challenger, thumbing through the wallet of a young girl lost during the crash of TWA Flight 800, and deciphering the navigational mystery of the USS Indianapolis. Ready to Dive is a gritty, blunt, and real firsthand subsea account unlike any other.

中文概要: 這本回憶錄邀請讀者走進一位年輕的比利時女孩的內心和思想，她分享了她一年中的事件，她的聲音得到了成年作者的詞彙和理解的支持。 孩子的處境很殘酷； 她被一位患有精神疾病的母親賣入一個兇殘的戀童癖網絡。 她絕望地堅信，無論表面如何，真愛確實存在，並在地獄中尋找它最微弱的跡象。 當她對母親的盲目愛轉移到一個迷人的施暴者身上時，她經歷了浪漫的激情，但很快就陷入了卑鄙的背叛和暴力，最終導致了她的死亡。 在最黑暗的情況下，一次瀕臨死亡的經歷向她展示了她現象世界背後的真相，並讓她瞥見了她如此拼命尋求的偉大愛情。

英文简介: This memoir invites the reader into the heart and mind of a young Belgian girl as she shares events out of one year of her life, her voice supported by the vocabulary and understanding of the adult author. The child’s circumstances are brutal; she is being sold by a mentally ill mother into a murderous pedophile network. She desperately clings to the belief that in spite of all appearances, true love does exist, and searches for the faintest sign of it in the midst of hell. When her blind love for her mother is transferred onto a charming perpetrator, she experiences romantic passion, but is soon cast into abject betrayal and violence, ultimately leading to her certain demise. In the darkest of circumstances, a near-death experience shows her the truth underlying her phenomenal world, and she is given a glimpse of that great love for which she is so desperately seeking.

Extreme, organized child abuse is horrifying, and often impossible to contemplate. And yet, acknowledging the reality of darkness is the first step towards healing. This account offers both the raw, cold facts as well as the resilience and grace from the victim’s perspective, revealing that the darkest of nightmares is rarely just that, but commensurate with gifts of light. This ten-year old’s journey suggests that heinous suffering can unlock hidden spiritual treasures of transcendence and unconditional love.

英文简介: Imprisoned during World War I as a conscientious objector and interned during World War II as an enemy alien, Reginald Horace Blyth was a poet, a scholar, a musician, a linguist and a student of Zen who ultimately became teacher to an emporer. His pivitol works were published in Japan even during his internment.

Blyth ultimately became the key link and mediator between the Imperial Household and the occupying American forces, whom many credit with saving Japan from chaos after the war. His fingerprints are everywhere today in the study of Zen, Haiku and Japanese culture, and his work has influenced some of the most important writers of the 20th century— including Huxley, Oshi, Aiken, Watts, Salinger, Kerouac, Ginsberg and others. He was, in many ways, a man who changed the world!

Mister Timeless Blyth is his story.

Written in the form of an autobiographical novel filled with Zen and poetry, this book recounts a life of hard work, books and music, of spiritual questing, and of learning to be at peace with one’s self and one’s choices. It celebrates a man who built bridge between East and West for the greater part of his lifetime. Through it, we understand someone who moved with a sense of purpose, warmth and humor and left a mark that was very distinct indeed.

中文概要: 愛情騙局、金字塔計劃、虛假債務和假新聞，這個世界充斥著騙子和詐騙。 但如果騙子是你的情人，會發生什麼事？

有人說，信任是一種偽裝成承諾的風險，正如海明威所說，「讓人們值得信賴的方法就是信任他們」。 一旦我們被惡毒的小販迷住了，他們的力量就是真實的，當咒語被打破時，自我和希望的喪失也是如此。

一部混合回憶錄和個人的偵探故事，本書探索了信任的意義、我們為什麼信任，以及當信任被背叛時會發生什麼。 萊克曼斯特別關注砂岩大學神聖牆內的欺詐和腐敗，揭示了欺詐者對受害者的控制往往微妙而殘酷的本質，並展示了他們的行為對他人個人和職業的深刻影響。 掩蓋事實——有時被認為比犯罪更糟糕——具有潛在的影響。

本書是一個現代社會的寓言。以陰暗且樸實的語調娓娓道來。 (Zoe)

英文简介: A darkly funny memoir and investigation into the charms and crimes of the untrustworthy

Romance scams, pyramid schemes, bogus debts and fake news, the world is awash with confidence tricksters and swindlers. But what happens if the fraudster is your lover?

It has been said that trust is a risk masquerading as a promise and, as Hemingway suggested, ‘The way to make people trustworthy is to trust them’. Once we have fallen under the spell of malevolent hucksters, their power is real, as is the loss of self and hope when the spell breaks.

A hybrid memoir and a personal detective story, Trust is an exploration of what it means to trust, why we trust, and what happens when trust is betrayed. With a particular view to fraud and corruption within the hallowed walls of sandstone universities, Ryckmans brings to light the oft subtle, brutal nature of the control that fraudsters have over their victims, and shows the deep impacts their actions have on others personally and professionally. The cover up – sometimes said to be worse than the crime – has insidious effects.

Trust is a fractured fable. It is darkly funny, wistful, and spare in tone and approach.

英文简介: Bill Austen had some scary experiences; it came with the job of being a pilot. Having something go wrong at 90% of the speed of sound can really grab your attention. Flying big jets around the world for over forty years provided plenty of aviation stories, not just the scary ones but funny and sad ones as well.

Adrenaline pumping days were matched by wondrous experiences - there were plenty of highs in the job and not too many lows. In CLOUD SURFING the stories unfold with the technical details described in everyday l jumping into pools wearing life jackets as well as a tip on how to avoid stray bullets. All this helps explain the excitement Jumbo pilots feel every time they go to work; pilots essentially strap a 400 ton aircraft to their backs then hurtle off around the world, going as fast and as high as they possibly can.
