THE ACCIDENTAL MILLIONAIRE: HOW TO SUCCEED IN LIFE WITHOUT REALLY TRYING
Book ID/图书代码： 12580008B30078
English Summary/英文概要： The Accidental Millionaire is the memoir of Gary Fong, would-be slacker who revolutionized wedding photography, inventor of popular photography aids, entrepreneur, contrarian, bon vivant and a man who really, really didn’t want to become a doctor. A first-generation Chinese-American, Gary was raised in one of Los Angeles’ least-desirable neighborhoods and was forced to deal—in his own quirky and often very funny way—with the burdens of poverty, crime and his parents’ relentless aspirations. These issues almost overwhelmed him until he had a dramatic epiphany. Spotting a bumper sticker that read “Since I gave up hope, I feel much better,” Gary promptly did just that.
He stopped trying and started succeeding. At turns hilarious, insightful and instructive, The Accidental Millionaire is Horatio Alger-meets-David Sedaris. Turning the traditional self-help principles upside down, The Accidental Millionaire disdains the goal-oriented approaches of traditional self-help philosophies. Sometimes not knowing where you are going is the best possible way to get there.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《福星高照》（The Accidental Millionaire）是方格雷（Gary Fong）的传纪，他改革了婚礼照片，是流行照片辅助的发明者，企业家，是做法与一般大众想法相反的投资人，是讲究美食及生活享受的人以及一个不想当医生的人。格雷是第一代美籍华裔，成长于洛杉矶一个不为乐观的居民区，被迫要承受贫穷、犯罪父母无尽的期望。这些争议一直困扰他，直到有一天他突然就想通了。他是看到了这么一句信息即“自从我放弃希望，我感觉好多了”，才释然的。
他开始停止希望，尝试成功。时而欢乐，时而犀利，时而启示意义。本书颠覆了传统自助原则，鄙视那些以目的为中心的传统哲理。有时候，云里雾里迷迷糊糊反而能够抵达成功的彼岸。(XJJ)

About the Author/作者介绍： 方格雷（Gary Fong）是全球知名的摄影师，发明家，企业家。他是“预约故事”（ story-booking）的开创者，现在这个行业标准体现在婚礼摄影中，即候选人要讲述一个真实的故事，这么做是为了不做作的摆固定的姿势。他也是柔光罩（Lightsphere）的发明人。柔光罩是一个特殊的有色的顶，用以挡住相机的闪光。不久前，全球销量超过20万，带来了多亿美元的塑料生意。自发明柔光罩之后，方格雷凭借流行产品，包括The Origami 和The Puffer，已被全球婚礼摄影师广泛使用的设备，建立了村舍行业。他被认为是同时代最具影响力的摄影师和发明家。 Gary Fong is a globally renowned photographer, inventor and entrepreneur. He is the father of “story-booking,” now the industry standard in wedding photography, in which candid shots are arranged in real time to tell a story, as opposed to the archaic method of taking posed, stilted shots. He is also the inventor of the Lightsphere®, a specially colored dome that is held in place over the flash unit of a camera. Before long, more than 200,000 units were sold worldwide, thus creating a multimillion-dollar plastics business. Since inventing the Lightsphere®, Fong has built a veritable cottage industry around variations on the popular product, including The Origami and The Puffer, all of which have become standard equipment used by most wedding photographers worldwide. He is considered one of the most influential photographers and inventors of his generation.
