THE HALF-LIVED LIFE: OVERCOMING PASSIVITY AND REDISCOVERING YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF
Book ID/图书代码： 05170011B45701
English Summary/英文概要： “So this is my life? What happened to the person I thought I might be at this stage of the game? Where did that person go? Why am I feeling like I’m just treading water, trying to stay one step ahead of my bills and obligations. Anyway, I’m just too tired at this point to try to figure out where that other person went. But I sure expected to be living a different life than this one.”
Most people in their forties, fifties, and beyond catch themselves saying something similar to this. Everyone has a mental image of the person they want to be, but few of us actually fulfill these wishes. Once people realize they are living a completely different life than they’d envisioned, they often think it is too late to change and carry on with the same old habits. Too many people settle for a half-lived life.
Best-selling author John Lee has long been addressing the fallacy of this attitude in talks and workshops—and now he sets this program into book form. In The Half-Lived Life, he introduces and explains how passivity holds us hostage to old ways of doing things—and provides solutions on escaping this paralyzing state of mind, body, and spirit while increasing our emotional intelligence (EQ). He also shows the freedom to be gained via compassionate assertiveness—an outgrowth of setting boundaries and enforcing limits. Just as Lee’s seminars have successfully led many to find their authentic self in the second half of their life, so too will this book.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 很多人到了四五十岁便情不自禁会自我反思，“这就是我要的生活？是我设想的理想阶段？为什么我感觉很不真实，而且被药丸和责任压的喘不过气？是我太累了吗？不，这离我要的生活还有距离。”
每个人都会给自己设定一个理想的状态，但是真正达成夙愿的寥寥无几。一旦人们意识到自己现在的生活和设想的还有差距，他们通常会觉得改变无济于事，于是恶习不改，从此混沌如常。
但是，作者就是要告诉我们，要化被动为主动，首先要改变的就是懒散，提升情商，未来依旧是个未知数，掌握在我们自己手中。(兼职翻译-XJJ)
