THE CARE AND FEEDING OF YOUR ELEPHANT: FINDING CLARITY AMIDST THE CONFUSION
Book ID/图书代码： 14937612B56092
English Summary/英文概要：
We live in a complex and confusing world. Each of us has constructed a model of how we think the world works--a reality--to help us navigate the life-maze in which we find ourselves. Yet largely because of anthropocentism--man’s tendency to view and interpret everything in terms of human experience and values--our realities are invariably incomplete and flawed.
Loaded with real-life stories and anecdotes, The Care & Feeding of Your Elephant explores a slew of topics including the five senses, perception, experience, normalization, evolution, attachment, divinity, religion, spirituality and the environment. It shows how we construct our individual realities, identifies the pitfalls we encounter and offers practical, real-world suggestions for enhancing contentment and satisfaction in life.
Chinese Summary/中文概要：
我們生活在一個複雜的世界。我們總是覺得困惑。每個人都有自己對社會的認識，以指導我們走出生活的迷宮，找到自己。可惜，由於人類中心主義，人們總是根據自己的經歷和價值觀來解釋現實，解釋一切。這樣的觀察和解釋難免是不完整的，是錯誤的。
《The Care & Feeding of Your Elephant》依據的真實故事和軼事，通過五官感覺、觀察、經歷、化特殊為一般、變化和發展、愛慕、神學、宗教、靈性和環境等話題，探討了我們對現實認識的模式是如何形成的。另外，作者定義了我們遇到的困難並給予現實、實際的建議，幫助讀者提高生活的滿足感和幸福感。(Celia)

About the Author/作者介绍：
John Penberthy是個求知欲極強的人，對生活和心靈的學習特別熱情。他有意識以來的最早的記憶就是被一隻蜜蜂蟄了。約翰出生于美國南弗羅裡達州。獲得MBA學位之後，他在市場與經濟諮詢行業從業十年。接受了密集的精神探索後，John Penberthy參加了海倫•凱勒國際防盲會在印尼開展的防盲項目，以及自然保護協會位於伊利諾州的Cache 河野生生物保護區專案。他努力在每件事物中找到神性。在冥想過程中找到了寫《蜜蜂的哲學》的靈感。他現在和妻女住在科羅拉多州博爾德。
John Penberthy was born with an insatiable curiosity which has made him an ardent student of Life and Spirit. His first conscious memory is that of beeing stung by a bee at age one. He grew up in south Florida, earned an MBA and spent a decade doing market and economic research consulting throughout the Rocky Mountain region. Following a period of intensive spiritual exploration, John coordinated a vitamin A fortification (blindness prevention) project for Helen Keller International in Indonesia and later managed the Cache River Bioreserve for The Nature Conservancy. His striving to see the Divine in all things led him to write To Bee or Not to Bee, which came to him in a meditation. John lives in Boulder, Colorado with his wife and daughter.
