一場視覺之旅,啟發並引導你向內探索自我

當蘇格拉底——顯然是古代最有智慧的人——被問及我們作為人類的最高目標是什麼時,他回答:「認識我們自己」。這項建議至今無人能超越。沒有自我認識,其他一切努力都將徒勞無功。

這是一本幫助我們在認識自我的旅程上前進的書。書中收錄了來自不同文化與時代的40幅圖像,帶領我們探索一系列關鍵理念,幫助我們與更深層的自我為友。憑藉優雅的散文與精美的藝術,它幫助我們了解童年如何塑造了我們、我們在關係中典型會遇到的困難,以及我們的目標應該是什麼。

它將幫助我們把那些曾經隱藏在陰影中的事物帶入意識之中,使我們有機會對自己以及關心我們的人來說,不再那麼焦慮或令人困惑。現代社會從不缺少野心。當我們準備好——藉由此書的幫助——開始這段內在旅程時,我們終將找到那個能為我們帶來平靜與自由的目標。

一部跨越文化與歷史的多樣化優雅圖像與美麗藝術作品集,旨在協助我們踏上自我認識的旅程。

收錄的攝影師與藝術家包括:大衛·霍克尼、賽·湯伯利、埃德加·竇加、伊莎貝拉·拉·羅卡·岡薩雷斯和艾莉絲·科爾滕。

James ★★★★★

I was a bit skeptical that a book could tackle something this deep, but the way each visual essay builds on the last genuinely shifted how I think about my own habits. Sitting with just one image and its accompanying text each morning has become my favorite part of the day. The format makes introsp

Carter ★★★★★

The full-page illustrations paired with Socrates' prompts actually slowed me down enough to sit with each question instead of rushing past it. I've reread the first chapter three times already and keep noticing something new about myself each pass.
