(图片来自网络)The Little Prince 《小王子》
作 者:Antoine de Saint Exupéry 圣埃克絮佩里
豆瓣评分:9.3/10
难度:✨(词句简单、温暖,适合所有人阅读)
有一段时间,我的生活略略有些灰暗,感受不到快乐,不愿与人交流,担心所有的事情,什么都不对劲。那段时间,唯一能让我觉得安心的除了和我的父母聊天,就是和孩子在一起。
孩子的世界很简单,想笑就笑,想闹就闹,什么远虑近忧,抵不上一颗糖重要。长大了,想要的东西就越来越多了,再也不是一颗糖能满足的了。当然,我们得到的也是越来越多了,可是我们的快乐却似乎越来越少。
圣埃克絮佩里在《小王子》里说:“All grown-ups were once children... but only few of them remember it. 看到这句话的时候,我瞬间就泪崩了。我知道,我们都需要这样一本书,找到最初的自己!
小王子说:“One loves the sunset, when one is so sad.” 我想是的;
小王子说:“Love does not mean to look at each other, but to look the same direction” 我想是的;
小王子说:“It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important. ”我想是的。

(图片来自网络)The Alchemist《牧羊少年奇幻之旅》
作 者:Paulo Coelho 保罗.科埃略
豆瓣评分:8.9/10
难度:✨✨(有力量的故事,用简单的语言缓缓道来)
无意中看到俞敏洪的一篇读后感,关于这本小书,他提到了小说中反复提到的一句话:
“When a person really desires something,all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream.”
只这一句,就直击心田,决心一看。
我们一直都在追寻,追寻那些我们认为的珍宝。可是到底什么才是生命在中最珍贵的呢?有多少人在追寻的过程中只想得到,却不愿意有丝毫给予;有多少人在追寻的过程中不愿意放弃过去,却想有新的开始;又有多少人还记得最初所想要追寻的东西呢?
请记得:“If you are brave to say "good bye", life will reward you with a new "hello".
请记得:“The secret of life is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.”
(图片来自网络)The Notebook 《恋恋笔记本》
作 者:Nicholas Sparks 尼古拉斯.斯帕克思
豆瓣评分:7.9/10
难度:✨✨✨(你喜欢爱情故事吗?)
有不少人应该看过《恋恋笔记本》的电影,可是我依然觉得,书能带给人更多的想象空间。
这是一个很美的爱情故事:在那一家风光迤逦的私人疗养院,每天都会有一位神秘的老男人准时拜访一位患有老年痴呆症的老女人。他慢慢坐下,然后在腿上摊开一本褪色的笔记本,轻声地为女人讲述其中记载的一个又一个故事,而女人呢?每当听到日记中的字句,脸上就会有异样的神采,仿佛再次回到那段梦中的岁月……
一次相遇,一生相伴,诺亚的每一句情话都可以作为撩妹利“句”,一翻开,就会使一场浪漫之旅······
In your life, There will be at least one time that you forget yourself for someone, asking for no result, no company, no ownership nor love. Just ask for meeting you in my most beautiful years.
The best love is The kind that awakens The soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.
(图片来自网络)The Willpower Instinct 《自控力》
作者: Kelly McGonigal 凯利·麦格尼格尔
豆瓣评分:9.0/10
难度:✨✨✨✨✨
你是不是懒癌、拖延症患者呢?是不是总想着要坚持做点什么,可要么就是三分钟热度,要么就是三天打鱼两天晒网呢?如果是这样,就来读一读这本The Willpower Instinct 《自控力》吧!
这本书是斯坦福大学的美女教授写的,语言总体上来说是比较简单的,只是会有一些专业的词汇需要稍微注意一下,书中生动的描写了一些实验和她在工作生活中的例子,使理论变得有趣。拥有自控力,让我们从坚持读完这本书开始。
However, many people treat themselves like they are still children -- and frankly, they act more like abusive parents than supportive caregivers. They criticize themselves whenever they give in to temptation or fail in their own eyes:" You're lazy! What's the matter with you." Each failure is used as evidence that they need to be even stricter with themselves. "You can't be trusted to do anything you say you will."
If you think that the key to greater willpower is being harder on yourself, you are not alone. But you are wrong. Study after study shows that self-criticism is consistently associated with less motivation and worse self-control. It is also of the single biggest predictions of depression, which drains both "I will" power and "I want " power. In contrast, self-compassion - being supportive and kind to yourself, especially in the face of stress and failure - is associated with more motivation and better self-control.
