在一片虛無中不小心找到人生意義
「人生有時會顯得漫長且艱辛。你會快樂,也會悲傷。然後你會變老,接著你會死去。在這空洞的存在裡,唯一有意義的事,就是:填滿它。」
這是一本獻給內心浪漫又現實的我們的書——《You Don’t Have to Have a Dream》集結提姆・敏欽(Tim Minchin)三場經典畢業演講中的睿智語錄,提出他對人生、藝術、成功、善良、愛與在毫無意義的宇宙中茁壯生存的深刻想法。
全書搭配精緻插畫,是一本關於創造力、批判思維與日常生活中的同理心的溫柔召喚,提醒我們用思考與愛填滿這段旅程。
‘Life will sometimes seem long and tough. And you will sometimes be happy and sometimes sad. And then you’ll be old. And then you’ll be dead. There is only one sensible thing to do with this empty existence, and that is: fill it.’
A book for the romantic-realist in all of us, You Don’t Have to Have a Dream offers Tim Minchin’s inimitable thoughts and advice on life, art, success, kindness, love, and thriving in a meaningless universe. Drawn from three of his iconic commencement addresses, and beautifully designed with specially commissioned illustrations throughout, it’s a rallying cry for creativity, critical thinking, and compassion in our daily lives.
It’s never too late to put something beautiful out into the world.
