【去露營買書、辦大事買書。用我個優惠code:AKINA10】
時光倒流到2009年,一個偶然的忽發奇想,讓我成功訪問到首次訪港,天生冇手冇腳的澳洲人力克胡哲 (Nick Vujicic)。Nick自細受盡歧視,八歲諗過結束生命,還幸父母支持與鼓勵,佢勇敢活過來。而家佢擁有一個美滿家庭,係4個小朋友嘅爸爸,仲巡迴世界各地宣揚正能量。12年前佢喺訪問中講過:「你一旦放棄,一定冇希望。」
幾年後逛書局,見到熟識的小軀幹封面,係Nick嘅新著作《Limitless》。全書有50個章節,全部都係佢日常勵志短篇小故事。由於每個獨立故事只有2至3頁,唔洗追連續劇咁追著睇,亦好容易睇,好啱平時難抽時間坐定定打書釘嘅我。偶然我喺生活中撞板,傷心失意時,從櫃桶攞出Nick的著作,隨便翻開一頁,都係我嘅心靈雞湯。就好似呢日來露營車無聊放空,甚至「辦大事」時,隨心揭到第28章,第一句已開宗明義話:「To pursue your dreams you have to take action. Move it or lose it. Act or be acted upon……」成個人立即振作起來。
呢本《Limitless》,我都睇咗好多年,係時候搵多啲新嘅心靈雞湯。上網搜尋「Nick Vujicic」,先發現佢呢幾年不斷有新著作。冇乜時間行書局,又冇力托書返屋企,我會喺英國網上零售書店 Book Depository買,因為佢哋有2000萬本書,梗有一本啱我心水,而且免費送貨,無最低消費。即日起至8月1日,用我嘅優惠碼「AKINA10」買書,仲有9折優惠。書展期間去會展Hall 1C-016, 仲有額外優惠,亦有國際著名作家講座𠻹,等我17/7去簽書會時,順便去望下先。
Book Depository has free delivery to Hong Kong in 20 million books, no minimum spend required. Use my code “AKINA10” until Aug 1 to enjoy a 10% off discount. You may wish to visit Book Depository’s stand at Hong Kong Book Fair (Hall 1C-016, English Avenue) to receive exclusive offers when shopping from their stand, and join free seminar with renowned international authors Heather Morris, Jeremy Vine and Brigid Kemmerer.

books and books events 在 Lee Hsien Loong Facebook 的最佳貼文
After I posted on my leave plans on Sunday, a few of you asked what was on my reading list, so I am sharing some books I have read / am reading / or hope to read. Three of the books are available from the National Library Singapore. Do check out the NLB app (iOS: https://go.gov.sg/moiqhc | Android: https://go.gov.sg/hu17bc). It is a marvellous resource, and you will definitely be able to discover many books to suit your interests.
[ Nuclear Folly, a History of the Cuban Missile Crisis
by Serhii Plokhy ]
The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. I had read "13 Days", the short memoir by Robert Kennedy about it as a teenager, and later Graham Allison's "Essence of Decision", a seminal study using the Crisis to analyse decision making from different perspectives. Both were mainly based on US records. Plokhy's book draws on Soviet archives, to present events from both the US and Soviet points of view. Many mistakes were made on both sides. The saving grace was that both President John Kennedy and General Secretary Nikita Khrushchev desperately wanted to avoid a nuclear war. But even then the two sides avoided a nuclear exchange only by a hair’s breadth, and only by chance, because events once set in motion were no longer entirely within the two leaders' control. A gripping read.
[ The Bilingual Brain, and what it tells us about the science of language
by Albert Costa ]
Having learnt several languages myself, and grappled with our bilingualism policy in schools, this book was a natural choice. I am still reading it. Did you know that a newborn infant already recognises and prefers the language (or languages) which their mother spoke while they were in her womb, and within hours of birth can also distinguish between two different languages that they have never heard before? Infants pick up a language (or two) naturally in their first years, but learning a second or third language later in life is much harder. This book explains why.
[ Capturing Light, the Heart of Photography
by Michael Freeman ]
A book about the different sorts of light, how they influence the photo you take, and how to use them to create the effect and mood that you want. Photographers know about the golden hour and blue hour, hard light and soft light, direct and indirect lighting, front and back lighting, haze, mist and fog, and so many more variations. The book includes lots of the author’s photos illustrating his points, taken over many years. Hope to pick up something from reading it. But the key in photography (as in so many other skills) is to practise and practise, if you want to improve.
[ Bettering Humanomics, A New, and Old, Approach to Economic Science
by Deidre Nansen McCloskey ]
The author, a distinguished economist, argues that economics is not just about incentives and institutions, mathematical models and observed behaviour. It should take a broader, more humanistic approach, paying attention to ethics and values, “what people believe, and the stories they tell one another”, as one reviewer put it. Certainly in government we must think about these broader factors all the time, while making sure we get the economics right. Not just in trade and industry or finance, but also in national development, education, health, manpower, sustainability and the environment, social and family development, and so much of public policy. I haven't read this book yet, but saw an enthusiastic book review, and look forward to reading the book itself.
Happy reading! – LHL
books and books events 在 DDMTV法鼓山網路電視台 Youtube 的最讚貼文
In 2020, with the global pandemic of novel coronavirus as a challenge in our life marked by impermanence, Dharma Drum Mountain made an extra effort to calm people’s mind through the power of religion. To be in line with the disease prevention measures, it organized a series of online Dharma assemblies to pray for the world, and offered various online group practice activities, streamed in real time at its branch practice centers at home and abroad, for practitioners to continue with their practice during the pandemic. In addition, its social care work, including visits and emergency relief efforts, as well as academic exchange activities were never compromised despite the pandemic. Its lay and monastic practitioners continued to uphold Master Sheng Yen’s compassionate vow, consistently dedicated to promoting the purification of human minds and enhancing world peace and harmony.
A revised version, the Memorial Edition of Complete Works of Master Sheng Yen 2020 comprising altogether 108 books was published. Dharma Drum Mountain expects to give the collection to interested centers for Chinese studies and major libraries around the world, for Master Sheng Yen’s insight to be shared with global readers.
To welcome the year 2021, let’s pray that we can all use the calming power of Buddhist practice to help transform distress and suffering in the world, enabling everyone to truly enjoy peace and ease.

Please understand that by watching Dan’s videos or enrolling in his programs does not mean you’ll get results close to what he’s been able to do (or do anything for that matter).
He’s been in business for over 20 years and his results are not typical.
Most people who watch his videos or enroll in his programs get the “how to” but never take action with the information. Dan is only sharing what has worked for him and his students.
Your results are dependent on many factors… including but not limited to your ability to work hard, commit yourself, and do whatever it takes.
Entering any business is going to involve a level of risk as well as massive commitment and action. If you're not willing to accept that, please DO NOT WATCH DAN’S VIDEOS OR SIGN UP FOR ONE OF HIS PROGRAMS.
