SURRENDERING TO YOURSELF: YOU ARE YOUR OWN SOUL MATE
Book ID/图书代码： 06540008B30102
English Summary/英文概要： Who am I? What do I want to do with the rest of my life? In SURRENDERING TO YOURSELF, Iris Krasnow takes readers on the ultimate journey, into complete self-knowledge and self-love. In a powerful blend of personal narrative and interviews. Krasnow shows us how listen to our gut instincts, resurrect childhood dreams, and plug into the passion of our souls. In these uncertain times, Krasnow urges us to surrender to our true selves now, and not put off becoming who we were meant to be all along.
Krasnow’s latest book, SURRENDERING TO MARRIAGE, was a New York Times bestseller that followed the success of SURRENDERING TO MOTHERHOOD. In this last of her Surrendering trilogy, Krasnow traces her own voyage into what she calls her "self of truth" beyond the role of Mommy to four young sons and beyond the "Wife self" married for 14 years. With dozens of inspirational examples of transformed lives, she pushes all of us to unleash our true essence.
You will meet a grandmother who revives a girlhood fantasy and starts a professional modeling career in her 70s; a public relations executive who has been HIV positive for seventeen years and lives each day as if it were his last; a 27-year-old wanderer who travels to New Zealand to "find herself" only to discover that the happiness she was looking for is inside of her, not in an external place, and an eighty-one-year old legend, once the most influential newspaper editor of his time, who reflects on the climb down into the last lap of his life.
Krasnow prepares us for confronting the alone-ness we will all have to face throughout the aging process: when our children leave home, when parents grow ill and die, when a career suddenly ends, as we face our own mortality. Her message is resoundingly clear: It’s never too late to start over as we look back at our lives and realize we missed out on our dreams.
SURRENDERING TO YOURSELF teaches us how to finally embrace exactly who we are, and stop shaping our selves according to the expectations of others. As with her other books, SURRENDERING TO YOURSELF promises to cause a stir with Krasnow’s fellow baby boomers who are turning gray, looking hard at their lives, and asking themselves: What’s next?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 我是谁？我的余生将如何度过？在《向自己屈服：你是你自己的灵魂伴侣》中，爱丽丝克拉斯诺将读者带上了一条自我探索、自我怜爱的终极之旅。结合了个人陈述与访问，为我们指出怎样倾听我们内心的情感，重温儿时的梦想，投身到我们灵魂的激情中。在这个风云变幻的时代，克拉斯诺敦促我们要向真正的自我屈服，永远不要放弃我们心中我们想成为的那样子。
克拉斯诺最近的新书，《向婚姻屈服》是继她《向母性身份屈服》之后又一荣登纽约《时代》周刊的畅销书。在她最近的“屈服”三部曲中，结婚2年，又有4个儿子的克拉斯诺，向我们勾勒出找寻自我的道路。作为一个过来人，她用大量的实证来激励我们找到真正的自我。
书中，你会遇到一位老奶奶，她追求自己儿时的梦想，在她70高龄时，成了一位专业模特；一位HIV阳性的公共关系行政主管，患病7年来都吧自己的每一天当作人生的最后一天来活；一位27岁的流浪汉为找寻自我游走新西兰却发现幸福就在她心中，而不是遥远的异乡他国。一位81岁高龄的传奇人物，曾是最风光的编辑，但最终落得晚节不保。
克拉斯诺事先告知我们在衰老过程中将遇到的孤独：当我们的小孩离我们远去，当我们的父母生老病死，当我们的事业突然中断，在我们直视死亡的时候。她的讯息十分直白：当我们回头望自己的人生之路时，为遗落的梦想而哀叹，只要我们有勇气重来就不会太迟。
《向自己屈服》教我们要完全接收自己，而并非为迎合他人而活。与其他她的书一样，此书在她的同辈之间引起了强力的反响，当她们头发花白，回顾自己的往事，并问自己：接下来怎么办？(ZSW)
Awards/获奖情况："In SURRENDERING TO YOURSELF, Iris Krasnow says that now is the time to live your dreams, and she teaches us how to listen to our gut instincts and find the true passion of our souls."---Parade magazine
"Krasnow examines several important issues for women -- work vs. family responsibilities; relationships with elderly parents, time for oneself, etc. Her writing is appealing; the transitions between the anecdotes from other people and her own experiences are seamless."---Publishers Weekly
"To some people, the word "surrendering" might mean giving up, relinquishing power, waving the white flag of defeat. To author Iris Krasnow, "surrender" means just the opposite -- "It means surrendering to who you truly are, your most powerful, honest soul-deep self," she says.---Joy Dickinson, The Dallas Morning News

“克拉斯诺审查了对女性来说很重要的议题，那些鱼和熊掌不可兼得的议题－－－工作和家庭的责任；与老辈之间的关系，以及属于自己的时间，等等。她的文笔颇具感染力，她把别人的轶事与她自己的经验结合地天衣无缝。－－－《出版人周刊》
对于某些人来说，“屈服”这个词意于放弃，放下权力，摇晃失败的白旗。而对于作者爱丽丝 克拉斯诺来说，“屈服”这个词的含义却恰恰相反－－－她说“它意味着向真正的自己屈服，向你最有力、最真的灵魂屈服。”－－－卓依 狄更生 （Dallas 晨报）
