English Summary/英文概要： Heartstrings holds a collection of personal stories garnered by Flight Attendant Mary Catherine Carwile during conversations with her passengers and fellow flight attendants——stories about tragedy,happiness,romance,family,courage,friendship,and heroism.These stories will touch your heart and make your spirits soar.
Our culture constantly advances self-absorption.It leaves us with a real fear that meaningful interaction with any stranger is always inappropriate,a waste of our time or even dangerous somehow.
Perhaps the real gift of Heartstrings to its readers is the motivation to listen to others with one’s heart.This kind of listening is the key that unlocks the door to a mental space we all have forgotten we possess.
This book may help you overcome the fear of opening your heart to strangers and prepare your mind to receive all the blessings that such listening brings.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本書的作者Mary Catherine Carwile是一位空姐，透過飛行工作中，與乘客和其他空服人員的交談，溝通，瞭解，總結他們每個人不同的真實生活故事。每個人心裡都有故事，有悲傷的、喜悅的、浪漫的、溫馨的、勵志的、有發生在家人，同事或朋友之間的生活故事。他們以過來人的身份或正在經驗中的感觸，將真誠的感受分享給Carwile，引起我們心靈的激盪。
當社會越來越冷漠，人們愈來愈自私自利。我們認為與自己不認識的陌生人主動說話，溝通是非常不恰當的行為，也像是在浪費自己的時間，甚至認為這是非常危險的舉動。
本書真正的目的是鼓勵讀者用自己的心去感受、去傾聽別人的故事。這種傾聽方式，開啟我們原本擁有，卻早已遺忘的一塊精神世界。這本書幫你克服對陌生人的恐懼感，教你大方地放開心胸去傾聽，接受來自更多的福氣。
