法國明星哲學家暢銷傑作：法國暢銷200,000冊，售出15種語文版權。●《解放報》、《回聲報》、《費加洛報》、《Elle》雜誌、《觀點》雜誌等十數家國外媒體好評。● 法國前總理亞蘭．居貝推薦：「這是本好書，探討了智慧、勇氣和快樂！」（當時他剛參選失利。）內容簡介： 我們與成功之間，只差一步「成功的失敗」。▎成功讓人飄上天，▎失敗卻帶你踏實落地，向人生探問：▎「什麼有意思的事情開始了？」／我們一直都搞錯了，真正的失敗，不是鼓起勇氣行動但搞砸了，而是因恐懼失敗而壓抑好奇，怯於跨步，到頭來卻不知道自己是誰。為何失敗令人難堪、罪疚，甚至羞恥？這是因為我們誤將「我做的事」和「我這個人」混為一談──事實上，失敗是「我的」，卻不是「自我的」失敗。法國明星哲學家夏爾．佩潘結合眾多實例，透過哲學、文化、教育等跨界視角，全面解構、翻轉失敗的真諦：◎令我們痛苦的其實正是「成功文化」，由於怕出錯，我們不敢行動──沒有什麼錯比這更糟的了。「犯錯文化」卻能消減挫敗感，因為每一次嘗試都是小進步。◎主張快快步上成功軌道的「快車道」觀念有毒。快速成功雖然帶來安心，但也使人安逸。快速失敗，再迅速修正，反而更有助於大腦學習和成長。◎失敗是人生方向的再創造。遇上「此路不通」時，正是生命在提出質疑：「我能成為什麼樣的人？」◎沒能成功，或許正因那並非你真心所求？我們往往想要的太多，卻不清楚自己真正想要什麼。看似「意外」的失敗反映了心之所向，帶我們看清內心最隱祕、也最深切的渴望。／我們活在歌頌成功的世界、活在他人的肯定中。但誰的人生不曾曲折或分岔？逃避面對的人，是最難從中重新振作的人。這本書震碎我們的思維盲點：失敗不是恥辱，而是全新開展，激發我們的潛力，將其轉化成獨一無二的生存養分，真正為自己而活──這正是一場值得歡慶的「成功的失敗」。◆◆◆【你必須先失敗，才能從失敗中復元，所以快點失敗吧！】◆◆◆◎有時只有輸了才能贏，失敗幫助我們糾錯，加速進步。 ◎嘗試就是成功，每一次失敗都是更接近目標的一步。◎危機卻是有利時機，它劃出一道縫，揭開了隱藏的機會。 ◎失敗讓人從嬰兒式的全能幻想中清醒，認清自己，真正長大。◎有些事，再努力也強求不來，但我們可以選擇如何面對。◎「過度認同成功」與「過度認同失敗」一樣，都是過度偏執。◎如果不敢失敗，你只能失敗地活下去。◎跨出你的舒適圈，並且「多走一步」。◎學習，不只是學會什麼，而是「要用你學會的做什麼」。◎別受限於「標籤」或「頭銜」，忘了投入創造的初心。◎人生是不斷改進、修正錯誤、尋求「觸底反彈」的一場探索。◎忠於自己的渴望，不自我設限，也不貪戀盲目的自由。本書特色：●

你知道你每天吃的那一餐，其實藏著無數經濟學的概念嗎？從早餐店的選擇開始，到便當價格的起伏，每個看似平凡的決定背後，其實都是機會成本、邊際效用、供需關係等理論的實踐場。這本書用最貼近日常的飲食經驗，打開經濟學的大門，讓你在吃喝之間輕鬆理解那些原本遙遠又艱澀的名詞。▎食物價格的祕密，其實不只是漲價那麼簡單 為什麼國民美食雞排越來越貴？便當加價的背後，其實是一場看不見的價格戰。有時是供應鏈斷裂，有時是心理定價策略作祟。透過一連串餐飲場景與實例，本書揭露餐飲價格的形成過程、價格彈性的迷思，以及黑市、漲價策略與市場失靈的真相，讓人恍然大悟：食物的價格，不只是「成本加一點利潤」那麼簡單。▎社群、習慣與人性：你真的自由選擇了嗎？ 從排隊名店到網紅推薦，從限時優惠到集點活動，這些設計無所不在地操控著你的味蕾與荷包。書中深入探討資訊不對稱、認知偏誤、心理價位與消費誘導等現象，讓你重新審視自己做決策時的「理性」，其實早已被社會網絡與商業行銷牽著鼻子走。▎吃到飽、自助餐、食安風暴：你看到的只是表面 你以為自己在吃buffet時賺到了嗎？其實你早已落入沉沒成本的陷阱。在自助吧前裝菜時，其實也在經歷「預期效用與風險選擇」的心理博弈。更別說當食安風暴來襲時，品牌信任崩盤、系統風險蔓延、消費者信心跌落谷底，原來食物的風險管理與信任重建，遠比想像中複雜。▎從餐桌到制度：你的一餐背後，有國家在設計 學校營養午餐、食物銀行、碳足跡、食材追溯、平臺抽成與自助點餐機……這些與你我日常密切相關的制度設計，不僅反映經濟誘因的調配，還深藏著公平、效率與倫理的張力。吃飯，不再只是私人行為，更是一種社會選擇。〔本書特色〕吃飯這件事，看似簡單，卻處處藏著經濟學的邏輯。從早餐店的選擇到外送平臺的排名，從便當漲價到吃到飽的陷阱，你的每一個決策，其實都反映著成本、誘因與制度的設計。本書用貼近日常的情境，拆解你每天面對卻不自知的經濟行為，讓你輕鬆理解複雜理論，重新認識「吃」的真相。]]>

At first hailed as a tech visionary, the Microsoft cofounder morphed into a ruthless capitalist, only to change yet again when he fashioned himself into a global do-gooder. Along the way, Gates influenced how we think about tech founders, as the products they make and the ideas they sell continue to dominate our lives. Through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, he also set a new standard for high-profile, billionaire philanthropy. But there is more to Gates’s story, and here, Das’s revelatory reporting shows us that billionaires have secrets and philanthropy can have a dark side. Drawing upon hundreds of interviews with current and former employees of the Gates Foundation, Microsoft, academics, nonprofits, and those with insight into the Gates universe, Das delves into Gates’s relationships with Warren Buffett, Jeffrey Epstein, Melinda French Gates, and others, to uncover the truths behind the public persona. In telling Gates’s story, Das also provides a new way to think about how billionaires wield their power, manipulate their image, and pursue philanthropy to become heroes, repair damaged reputations, and direct policy to achieve their preferred outcomes. ＂A balanced, perceptive, and thought-provoking portrait of a man and his times＂ (Booklist) Billionaire, Nerd, Savior, King is an important story of money and government, wealth and power, and media and image, and the ways in which the world’s richest people hold us in their thrall.]]> From the author of Sisters in Arms comes the incredible, untold story of Effa Manley, a black businesswoman in the male dominated baseball industry, and, currently, the only woman inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.1930s, New York CityAn ambitious Harlem woman's husband upends her social climbing when he buys a Negro Leagues baseball team and appoints her as the team's business manager.

☆白希那最新力作☆ 如果你喜愛《魔法糖果》， 請不要錯過中文書名《如何製作魔法糖果？》 畢竟，誰能拒絕擁有自己的「魔法糖果」！   如果說《魔法糖果》講的是「吃下魔法糖果」的故事， 那麼《如何製作魔法糖果？》則是「製作魔法糖果」的故事。 這本書作為《魔法糖果》的衍生篇， 詳細揭開了文具店的老爺爺如何製作能聽見心聲的「魔法糖果」的祕訣。     繁星滿天的晴朗夜晚， 老爺爺盤腿而坐，靜靜等待夜色的降臨。 他穿著舒適的衣服，調整呼吸， 專心進行各種瑜伽姿勢……   這是老爺爺為了製作魔法糖果而進行的獨特修煉。   製作「魔法糖果」的材料其實一點也不稀奇： 清水、鍋子、布巾、有趣的書…… 用這些平凡的東西， 真的能做出讓人聽見心聲的糖果嗎？   我們真的能嘗到真正的魔法糖果嗎？ 翻開這本書，祕訣就在眼前。     只有心地純淨的人才能製作， 也只有心地純淨的人 才能感受到糖果的力量   魔法糖果並不容易完成。 每個人都可能知道它的存在，但不是每個人都能真正製作成功。   祕訣就在於「純淨」。   純淨意味著透明、輕盈與自在， 意味著平靜、真誠與安定。   只有當心靈透明清明時，才能真正看清世界，發現真實的自我。   只有在繁星閃耀的夜晚，才能製作糖果； 只有清澈的水，才能映照星光； 只有透明的泡泡，才能承載彩色的夢境。   清澈 是糖果的開始，也是終點   白希那透過糖果的製作過程，探索「清澈」的真義， 並相信它能洗滌我們心中的渾濁。   最明亮的瞬間，往往源自最平凡的積累， 這本書就像一個朋友，在我們心情灰暗時，再一次讓我們回到清澈。 書籍特色 ★《魔法糖果》的世界觀延伸★ 這本書是《魔法糖果》的衍生作品，一本談「吃」，一本談「做」。讀過第一本的孩子，會對糖果的來歷充滿好奇；而這本書正好回應那份疑問，揭開糖果誕生的祕密。兩本作品互相映照，讓讀者先經歷奇蹟，再回到起點理解奇蹟如何生成，形成一種獨特的閱讀循環與完整的世界觀體驗。   ☆夢幻食譜般的敘事設計☆ 全書以「食譜」的格式呈現，看似步驟分明，卻充滿奇想與詩意。從等待夜空、朗讀故事……這種敘事設計，不僅像遊戲一樣讓人想跟著操作，更讓日常的閱讀過程變成一場參與式的魔法儀式，使孩子與大人都能在文字與圖像中體驗「製作」的樂趣。   ★「清澈之心」的哲思寓意★ 糖果的核心祕訣，不是材料，而是「純淨之心」。它象徵純真、善良與透明的內心狀態，只有懷著純淨的心去製作，糖果才會發揮真正的力量。這樣的設定超越了童話，帶有哲學意味，提醒讀者奇蹟並非外在施與，而是內心的映照。孩子會感受到善良的重要，大人則能重新思索內心的澄澈。   ☆賦予日常用品不凡的魅力☆ 故事裡的材料十分平凡，鍋子、布巾、睡衣，甚至是一本書，但在白希那的筆下，這些再熟悉不過的物件，都被賦予魔法意義。讀者在閱讀過程中，也會重新審視日常，發現看似平淡的生活，其實隨時可能蘊含奇蹟。這種賦予平凡魅力的手法，正是繪本的迷人之處，也讓孩子學會以新的眼光看待身邊的小事物。   ★老爺爺角色的轉換與智慧★ 不同於《魔法糖果》以孩子為主角，這本書的焦點放在文具店老爺爺。他看似笨拙可愛，卻蘊含智慧，既是糖果的製作者，也像一位守護者或精神導師。他的存在，讓作品多了世代交會的溫度，孩子們從他身上看見耐心與專注，而大人則能在他的形象中讀出沉澱與人生智慧。   ☆互動性與遊戲感☆ 書中的步驟設計，帶有「互動參與感」。孩子們讀到瑜伽動作，往往會忍不住跟著擺姿勢；讀到等待星光，會抬頭望向夜空。閱讀因此轉化成一種互動的遊戲體驗，不只是看故事，而是實際「嘗試」故事。這種互動性讓繪本從閱讀變成生活的一部分，也增添了親子共讀的趣味性與實際參與的快樂。 推薦資訊   劉清彥｜童書作家與兒童節目主持人 歐玲瀞｜兒童文學研究者、電台主持人   國外推薦資訊 「我也想做糖果！ 我本來就很喜歡《魔法糖果》這本書，反覆讀了好多次。結果有一天放學回家，發現《如何製作魔法糖果？》送到了，於是立刻翻開來讀。 要做糖果，得先準備材料，還得等夜深人靜。然後還要做各種瑜伽動作。最前面的「樹式」很簡單，但接下來的「鶴式」超難！要用雙手撐起身體，我一做就立刻倒下。接著的「鴿王式」更難，媽媽在旁邊看了說，她練了兩年瑜伽都還做不到呢。 後面還有「螢火蟲式」、「倒立式」……每一個都太困難了，我完全做不到。書上寫著：如果小朋友製造糖果失敗，就等到67歲再挑戰看看。天啊！難道我要練到67歲嗎？ 我真的好想做出糖果！要不要每天都練瑜伽呢？可是如果辛辛苦苦練到67歲，還是失敗怎麼辦……」 ——韓國Yes24網站讀者（二年級學生）好評   「以前讀過《白雲麵包》，這次聽說作者出了新書，就立刻買了。 《如何製作魔法糖果？》裡包含了白希那老師獨特的想像力，關於如何製作糖果的奇妙過程，看得我心裡暖洋洋的。 原來文具店的爺爺竟然是這樣一個人，竟然一個人默默的製作著糖果，實在太可愛了（笑）。 而且這本書尺寸真的就像一本「說明書」，看起來更討喜！」 ——韓國Yes24線上書店讀者五星好評   「真的非常可愛又充滿愛意…… 特別是頁面下方用小字寫的一些內容，總讓我會心一笑 ♥♥

None of that is important to Oberon Afolayan. Since his mildly public breakdown, his whole life seems to be spiraling out of control--from dropping out of university to breaking up with his boyfriend, it seems like only a karmic inevitability when he wakes up one day with the ability to conjure his dreams in the real world. Oberon's newfound powers come with a facsimile of his high school crush, Kon, who mysteriously dropped off the face of the planet almost three years ago and who is a little more infuriating (if not also infuriatingly hot) than Oberon remembers. Kon makes it his mission to turn Oberon's life around, and while they struggle to get a handle on his powers and his disastrous personal life (not to mention the appearance of strange nightmare creatures), it turns out this dream version of Kon has secrets of his own--dangerous ones. Oberon might have more on his plate than he originally thought, but is giving up his dreams--even the one he might have accidentally fallen in love with--the only way to find happiness in reality?]]> When an unlikely pair of female samurai join forces, what begins as your run-of-the-mill quest for glory and revenge evolves into something much more complicated.
