WANTED:
One (fake) boyfriend
Practically perfect in every way

Luc O'Donnell is tangentially―and reluctantly―famous. His rock star parents split when he was young, and the father he's never met spent the next twenty years cruising in and out of rehab. Now that his dad's making a comeback, Luc's back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything.

To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice, normal relationship...and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. He's a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and he's never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. In other words: perfect boyfriend material. Unfortunately, apart from being gay, single, and really, really in need of a date for a big event, Luc and Oliver have nothing in common. So they strike a deal to be publicity-friendly (fake) boyfriends until the dust has settled. Then they can go their separate ways and pretend it never happened.

But the thing about fake-dating is that it can feel a lot like real-dating. And that's when you get used to someone. Start falling for them. Don't ever want to let them go.

Discover the LGBT romance about exact opposites falling in perfectly imperfect love that New York Times and USA Today bestselling author CHRISTINA LAUREN calls "hilarious, witty, tender, and stunning."

聆聽才是溝通的王道
但為什麼我們失去了聆聽的能力？

在工作場合上，主導對話才能出頭。
在社群媒體上，敘述力決定個人魅力。
交際應酬時，人人都在搶話說。政治人物也一樣。
我們從不好好聽人說話。
也沒人好好聽我們說話。

真正的聆聽表現在你如何回應──
你是否正確理解對方的發言？
你是否明白對方的情緒？
｛ 獻給曾經被誤解，以及覺得被誤解的人 ｝

──到底有誰在聽你說話？
　　《紐約時報》撰稿人凱特‧墨菲詢問了來自五大洲的受訪者這個問題，卻迎來一片尷尬的沉默。大家想不出如今還有誰可以真正專心聆聽，而不恍神、瞄一下手機，或急著插話、表達意見。許多人自認並非善解人意的聆聽者，大多數人更無法描述何謂合格的聆聽者。

　　現代數位科技讓我們隨時都能與人溝通交流並產生連結。然而，周圍似乎沒有人認真傾聽，甚至也不知道如何傾聽。於是，交談變得前所未有地容易的同時，我們卻反而更寂寞、更孤立，也比以往更無法容納異己。本書作者凱特‧墨菲的工作就是聽人說話，她想探究這樣的結果究竟是如何造成的。

　　在這本發人省思、幽默有趣的著作中，作者深入探討我們為什麼不聽人說話、缺乏傾聽能力對我們有何影響，而我們又該如何扭轉這樣的趨勢。她深入淺出地介紹了傾聽的心理學、神經學和社會學原理，也帶我們認識當今最擅長傾聽的專家，包括中情局探員、焦點團體主持人、酒保、廣播節目製作人，還有頂尖家具銷售員。書中有文化觀察，有科學研究，也鼓勵人採取行動，並提供許多實用的建議。

　　作者發現，聆聽者乍看是對話中溫順的一方，實際上卻處於溝通中更有力量的位置。只要願意傾聽，就會學到新東西。聆聽，是與他人連結、合作、感同身受、談戀愛的基礎，說到底，也是我們每天選擇去做或不做的事。聽人說話顯得勢在必行，但是聆聽能力的優劣、選擇聽誰說話、在什麼情境下聆聽，在在決定我們成為什麼樣的人，以及要走的人生道路。

Why do some people achieve so much more than others? Can they lie so far out of the ordinary? Malcolm Gladwell looks at everyone from rock stars to scientific geniuses to show that the story of success is far more surprising, and inspiring, than we ever imagined. 'Malcolm Gladwell ... has a genius for making everything he writes seem like an impossible adventure' Tim Adams, Observer 'The best kind of writer - the kind who makes you feel like you're a genius, rather than he's a genius' Dominic Maxwell, The Times 'I wanted to cheer or clap' William Leith, Evening Standard 'Fizzingly entertaining and enlightening' Harry Ritchie, Daily Mail

The harrowing tale of British explorer Ernest Shackleton's 1914 attempt to reach the South Pole, one of the greatest adventure stories of the modern age.

In August 1914, polar explorer Ernest Shackleton boarded the Endurance and set sail for Antarctica, where he planned to cross the last uncharted continent on foot. In January 1915, after battling its way through a thousand miles of pack ice and only a day's sail short of its destination, the Endurance became locked in an island of ice. Thus began the legendary ordeal of Shackleton and his crew of twenty-seven men. When their ship was finally crushed between two ice floes, they attempted a near-impossible journey over 850 miles of the South Atlantic's heaviest seas to the closest outpost of civilization.

In Endurance, the definitive account of Ernest Shackleton's fateful trip, Alfred Lansing brilliantly narrates the harrowing and miraculous voyage that has defined heroism for the modern age.

The routine traffic stop that ends in tragedy. The spy who spends years undetected at the highest levels of the Pentagon. The false conviction of Amanda Knox. Why do we so often get other people wrong? Why is it so hard to detect a lie, read a face or judge a stranger's motives? Through a series of encounters and misunderstandings - from history, psychology and infamous legal cases - Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual adventure into the darker side of human nature, where strangers are never simple and misreading them can have disastrous consequences. No one challenges our shared assumptions like Malcolm Gladwell. Here he uses stories of deceit and fatal errors to cast doubt on our strategies for dealing with the unknown, inviting us to rethink our thinking in these troubled times.
