GRAMMAR FOR THE SOUL: USING LANGUAGE FOR PERSONAL CHANGE
Book ID/图书代码: 11185011B47308
English Summary/英文概要: Weinstein used to teach at Harvard, but don’t let that intimidate you. Though his book is ultimately serious in nature, drawing on both Western and Eastern traditions, Weinstein’s prose is witty, anecdotal, and packed with good, clear examples. He doesn’t claim that personal change occurs easily. But, he muses, "For the right person, that mere featherweight, a comma, can alter the course of a day." "Now that we know we create our own reality with our words and thoughts, Lawrence Weinstein offers us the perfect guidebook for precise and powerful creating. As a writer, teacher and lover of language, I LOVED this book!"--Jan Phillips, author, The Art of Original Thinking: The Making of a Thought Leader
"Lawrence Weinstein confirms what we literary types have always known in our hearts: grammar equals virtue."--Anne Fadiman, author, Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader, and The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 温斯坦曾在哈佛大学任教,但你完全不必因此而对这本书望而生畏。尽管这本书采纳了东西方的传统观念,性质上是有些严肃正式,但温斯坦的文章却诙谐机智,而且例证丰富易懂,给人一种像在阅读一些逸闻趣事的感觉。温斯坦承认人不可能轻易地就能改变自己,但他沉思后又说道“对于某一个人,随随便便的一个不重要的人,即使是一个像逗号那么无足轻重的事都有可能改变他这一天的计划”。 “我们都知道我们每天都用语言与思想来帮我们构建每天的现实生活,而劳伦斯.温斯坦就为我们提供了这本完美的指导手册,叫我们如何正确有力地去用语言和思想来影响我们的生活。我作为一名作家、老师兼语言爱好者,我非常喜欢这本书!”—简.菲利普斯 《原始思维的艺术》:如何成为一名思想领导者这本书的作者
“劳伦斯.温斯坦确认了我们心中对文学类型的一种看法,那就是语法等同于人的美德“。---安妮.菲迪曼 《一个普通读者的自白》、《触及你的心灵》及《倾倒》的作者(兼职翻译-XMM)
