「我喜歡10分鐘練習的成效，非常感謝帕帝康帶我踏上這段旅程。」――比爾‧蓋茲（Bill Gates）

「有點天才！」――艾瑪‧華生（Emma Watson）

本書作者安迪．帕帝康曾為佛教僧侶，現在是冥想正念推廣公司Headspace的共同創辦人，也是英國目前唯一通過醫療諮詢委員會許可私人開業的臨床醫療顧問，迄今在世界各地推廣冥想正念超過15年的時間，公認為英國最頂尖的正念專家之一。

帕帝康在二十幾歲、還在大學唸運動科學的期間就決定輟學，飛到喜馬拉雅山上學習冥想。自此，他周遊列國了十年，包括印度、尼泊爾、緬甸、泰國、澳洲、俄羅斯，最後在印度北部受戒成為藏佛僧侶。2004年還俗之後，帕帝康曾在莫斯科國立大馬戲團接受短暫訓練，繼而在倫敦舞蹈與戲劇藝術學院研習取得馬戲藝術學位，同時籌劃創立傳授冥想正念的機構Headspace公司。Headspace公司提供冥想正念課程，在2012年推出第一個版本的Headspace行動應用程式，陸續獲得一些創投公司和影視名人的投資。根據統計，到目前為止，全球已有超過3,000萬人下載課程，付費訂閱用戶超過100萬人。

帕帝康還俗的使命，就是教導世人每天抽出10分鐘的時間冥想，將正念的技巧應用在日常生活中。2018年，帕帝康受邀到比爾．蓋茲家中，為他全家人進行一天半的冥想正念指導課程，蓋茲一家人的體驗，全部可以在這本書中學到。本書也列為比爾．蓋茲2018年度推薦書單，是唯一與大腦潛能開發有關的書籍。

在認識帕帝康之前，蓋茲對冥想也不以為然。現在，他有了全新不同的見解：「對我來說，冥想其實就是簡單的腦部運動，大概就跟運動時使用肌肉的方式類似。冥想跟信仰或迷信無關，我所做的，其實就是每天撥出幾分鐘的時間，練習如何專注，遠離腦中各種思緒。」

帕帝康豐富的人生閱歷和扎實的訓練背景，使他成為一個卓越的冥想正念老師。他很會說故事，用了很多很有幫助的比喻，例如藍天、道路、野馬等，來介紹冥想正念的技巧。跟你想的可能有點不一樣，冥想正念並非那麼宗教意涵，我們在日常生活中的各項活動，包括走路、吃東西、運動，甚至睡覺等，都能夠練習冥想正念，專注於當下。

冥想正念的功效獲得科學研究證實，在本書前三章的最後，帕帝康引述了多項研究發現，指出冥想正念對身心健康眾多層面都能夠產生有益的影響，從提升專注力和生產力，到紓解壓力與焦慮、幫助睡眠、減重、改善人際關係、改善皮膚病、提高受孕機率等，從各方面幫助我們提升生活品質與幸福感。

每天只要10分鐘，練習靜心，感受到壓力減輕、疲憊減輕，體驗「頂空」，達到平靜與滿足的新境界。

好評推薦

「我相信，25歲時的我，一定會對這本書嗤之以鼻。但是，我太太梅琳達和我，最近迷上了冥想修練。本書前言敘述帕帝康如何從一名普通大學生變成佛教僧侶的人生歷程，然後饒富趣味解釋如何練習冥想正念。帕帝康很會說故事，用了很多很有幫助的比喻來介紹練習技巧，前三章的最後也引述了多項研究發現，證實冥想正念的益處有科學根據。如果你也想嘗試一下，這是一本非常理想的入門指南。冥想正念讓我學會後退一步，對腦海裡出現的各種思緒更輕鬆自在。我喜歡10分鐘練習的成效，非常感謝帕帝康帶我踏上這段旅程。」――比爾．蓋茲（Bill Gates）

「在你抵達辦公室時，已經感覺到緊繃、有壓力，這種狀態聽起來可不大理想。超級知名的冥想應用程式Headspace的共同創辦人安迪．帕帝康說，這種情況是完全可以避免的。這位前佛教僧侶認為，祕訣其實很簡單，只要一點正念練習就行了。」――媒體公司Well+Good

所有動物一律平等，但有些動物比其他動物更平等。 劉紹銘教授重新翻譯歐威爾經典名作 曼納農莊莊主鍾斯先生飽食終日，性嗜杯中物，為人刻薄寡恩，農莊內的大小豬狗牛羊雞馬騾，日間撐着老命給莊主幹活，吃的只夠半飽，且不說工作表現一不如意就得受皮肉之苦。 且說一個仲夏之夜鍾斯在酒鋪買醉，晨昏顛倒，隔天中午才回到農莊，完全沒有把餵飼動物這回事放在心上。他一摸進家門便倒頭睡在客廳沙發上。動物們也因此一直空着肚子捱餓。最後他們實在忍不住了，但見一隻牛用角撞開貯糧庫的大門，各動物應聲而上，各自分頭從飼料箱取東西填肚子。 鍾斯先生這時突然驚醒，一瞬間跟手下四名傭工趕到貯糧庫，手執皮鞭四邊狠狠的抽打一番。這教肚子餓壞了的動物忍無可忍，大夥兒不約而同撲向一直折磨他們的狠心主人。鍾斯一夥突然發覺四面受敵，被犄角牴，蹄子踢，形勢完全失控。他們從沒見過或想過動物竟然有此舉動。這些牲畜都曾經是他們隨意鞭撻、即興折磨的奴隸，現在居然變了面，怎教他不嚇破了膽。就在這電光火石的一刻，他們決定不再糾纏了，拔腿飛跑，離開了曼納農莊。 動物終於當家作主，成了農莊主人，從此─ 歐威爾的《動物農莊》原副題為「童話故事」，旨在諷刺蘇聯革命，並推而廣之警醒大眾在種種煽動的、危險的「社會主義」論調中保持清醒，提高警覺。

Renowned urban artist Shepard Fairey's new look for Orwell's timeless satire 'All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others.' Mr Jones of Manor Farm is so lazy and drunken that one day he forgets to feed his livestock. The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organised to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges. . . Animal Farm - the history of a revolution that went wrong - is George Orwell's brilliant satire on the corrupting influence of power.

Renowned urban artist Shepard Fairey's new look for Orwell's dystopian masterpiece Winston Smith works for the Ministry of Truth in London, chief city of Airstrip One. Big Brother stares out from every poster, the Thought Police uncover every act of betrayal. When Winston finds love with Julia, he discovers that life does not have to be dull and deadening, and awakens to new possibilities. Despite the police helicopters that hover and circle overhead, Winston and Julia begin to question the Party; they are drawn towards conspiracy. Yet Big Brother will not tolerate dissent - even in the mind. For those with original thoughts they invented Room 101. . . 1984 is George Orwell's terrifying vision of a totalitarian future in which everything and everyone is slave to a tyrannical regime.

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • A grand, devastating portrait of three generations of the Sackler family, famed for their philanthropy, whose fortune was built by Valium and whose reputation was destroyed by OxyContin. From the prize-winning and bestselling author of Say Nothing, as featured in the HBO documentary Crime of the Century.

The Sackler name adorns the walls of many storied institutions—Harvard, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oxford, the Louvre. They are one of the richest families in the world, known for their lavish donations to the arts and the sciences. The source of the family fortune was vague, however, until it emerged that the Sacklers were responsible for making and marketing a blockbuster painkiller that was the catalyst for the opioid crisis.

Empire of Pain begins with the story of three doctor brothers, Raymond, Mortimer and the incalculably energetic Arthur, who weathered the poverty of the Great Depression and appalling anti-Semitism. Working at a barbaric mental institution, Arthur saw a better way and conducted groundbreaking research into drug treatments. He also had a genius for marketing, especially for pharmaceuticals, and bought a small ad firm.

Arthur devised the marketing for Valium, and built the first great Sackler fortune. He purchased a drug manufacturer, Purdue Frederick, which would be run by Raymond and Mortimer. The brothers began collecting art, and wives, and grand residences in exotic locales. Their children and grandchildren grew up in luxury.

Forty years later, Raymond’s son Richard ran the family-owned Purdue. The template Arthur Sackler created to sell Valium—co-opting doctors, influencing the FDA, downplaying the drug’s addictiveness—was employed to launch a far more potent product: OxyContin. The drug went on to generate some thirty-five billion dollars in revenue, and to launch a public health crisis in which hundreds of thousands would die.

This is the saga of three generations of a single family and the mark they would leave on the world, a tale that moves from the bustling streets of early twentieth-century Brooklyn to the seaside palaces of Greenwich, Connecticut, and Cap d’Antibes to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C. Empire of Pain chronicles the multiple investigations of the Sacklers and their company, and the scorched-earth legal tactics that the family has used to evade accountability. The history of the Sackler dynasty is rife with drama—baroque personal lives; bitter disputes over estates; fistfights in boardrooms; glittering art collections; Machiavellian courtroom maneuvers; and the calculated use of money to burnish reputations and crush the less powerful.

Empire of Pain is a masterpiece of narrative reporting and writing, exhaustively documented and ferociously compelling. It is a portrait of the excesses of America’s second Gilded Age, a study of impunity among the super elite and a relentless investigation of the naked greed and indifference to human suffering that built one of the world’s great fortunes.
