內容簡介

內容簡介 這是一部富有啟發性的探索之作，來自一位著名的認知科學家、也是廣受好評的播客《計劃的微小改變》（A Slight Change of Plans）的主持人，探討我們如何在變化的動盪中尋找意義。生活總有辦法挫敗我們精心策劃的計畫。突如其來地，我們面臨著一段關係的終結、一次意外的診斷、工作的失去，或其他命運的轉折。在這些時刻，我們可能會感覺自己正自由落體般墜入未知。作為一名認知科學家，瑪雅·香卡（Maya Shankar）投入數十年研究人類心智。當她自己人生中一次不樂見的改變讓她感到震驚時，她開始尋找那些成功駕馭過重大劇變的人們。在《變革的另一面》中，香卡講述了他們引人入勝、獨一無二的故事，並穿插了科學見解，以闡明隱藏在這些故事中的普世教訓。其結果是一幅關於我們對變化的複雜反應的豐富畫像，以及一個深厚的智慧之泉，供我們在這些經歷中汲取養分。香卡邀請我們徹底重新思考與變化的關係。當一個巨大的變化發生在我們身上時，它可以引發我們內在的深刻轉變。被推入新現實的獨特壓力與要求，能夠引導我們發掘出新的能力、視角和價值觀，並以非凡的方式轉化我們。如果我們將動盪的時刻視為一個重新塑造我們可能成為的樣子的機會，而不是僅僅作為需要忍受的磨難呢？我們能在自己身上釋放出什麼樣的潛能？無論你正在處理過去的變化、應對當前的掙扎，或為未來的變數做準備，這本書都是一本明智且發人深省的伴侶，幫助你發現在變革的另一面你能成為什麼樣的人。A revelatory exploration of how we can find meaning in the tumult of change, from a renowned cognitive scientist and host of the critically acclaimed podcast A Slight Change of PlansLife has a way of thwarting our best-laid plans.

In these moments, it can feel like we're free-falling into the unknown.As a cognitive scientist, Maya Shankar has spent decades studying the human mind. When an unwanted change in her own life left her reeling, she sought out people who had navigated major disruptions.

The result is a rich portrait of our complex reactions to change and a deep well of wisdom we can draw from during these experiences.Shankar invites us to rethink our relationship with change altogether. When a big change happens to us, it can lead to profound change within us. The unique stresses and demands of being thrust into a new reality can lead us to uncover new abilities, perspectives, and values, transforming us in extraordinary ways. What if we saw moments of upheaval as an opportunity to reimagine who we can be, rather than as something to just endure? What potential could we unlock within ourselves?Whether you're processing a past change, grappling with a present one, or bracing for a future one, this book is a wise and thought-provoking companion to help you discover who you can become on the other side of change.
