ENVY: A SURVEY OF ITS PSYCHOLOGY AND HISTORY
Book ID/图书代码： 14940114B75870
English Summary/英文概要： 2010 BAIPA Award Winner: Best Psychology Book. Many consider envy a negative quality, one of Seven Deadly Sins, while others regard it as a spur to personal accomplishment, useful despite the turmoil it may bring. Dr. Geenleaf addresses both its negative, painful aspects, and its positive, constructive uses. This comprehensive study examines the contexts of envy s usages and raises a broad range of questions. By exploring our shifting interpretations of this shadowy universal phenomenon, Dr. Greenleaf challenges us to get serious about coming to terms with it, providing us a starting point and an opportunity to learn more about how we think and behave.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2010年BAIPA奖获得者：年度最佳心理学书籍。许多人认为嫉妒是一种消极的品质，七宗罪之一，然而也有的人认为嫉妒会对我们的个人成就起到助推作用，尽管它会带来骚动但还是十分有用的。格林利夫博士既提出了其消极的有害的一面，也提出了其积极的、富有建设性的用途。这份综合性研究调查了关于嫉妒的用法的语境，并且收集了一系列广泛的问题。通过探究在这既朦胧又普通的现象下，我们给出的不同的解释，格林利夫博士向我们发起了挑战，让我们对于同嫉妒妥协这一行为变得严肃起来。他给我们提供了一个起始点，让我们去学习自己该怎样思考和表现。(LNL)
Awards/获奖情况：本书的其中一个优势是其囊括了许多个人轶事，有些能够愉悦大众，有些则尖锐地阐述理论，历史以及社会评论。尤其有趣的是，广告为了刺激消费，对于嫉妒被巧妙地用来操控我们的思想的分析。本书让我感受到了安慰，通过帮助我看到了嫉妒并不是我们有意为之的一件事情，而是一样牢牢攫取住我们的东西。——Richard Gercken ，版主，图书管理员评论
One of ENVY s main strengths is its inclusion of many personal anecdotes some amusing, some poignant to elucidate theory, history, and social comment. Especially intriguing is the analysis of envy in advertising, used to manipulate our minds toward consumerism. The book is a comfort to me in helping me see that envy is not something we deliberately do; it is something that grabs hold of us. --Richard Gercken, discussion moderator, librarian, reviewer
