刚开始看这本书,看了版序,才知道平时我们的行为大都受潜念的控制,这本书引起了我的好奇心,就是如何让自己拥有专念。 我的思路太窄,很少会从另一个角度考虑问题,所谓思路决定出路,能改变思路很重要,所以我想专念对我很重要。 好好读这本书。
评分首次读完的五年来断断续续地再二刷三刷甚至五刷六刷,专念的思想真的太高深晦涩了,(隐约感觉和道家思想庄子逍遥游有异曲同工之妙),但部分领悟后也让我的思想和生活有了颠覆般的改变,让我对自己的认知有了更大的控制权,并且极大程度上直接影响到我的实际生活。 希望喜欢本...

“All it takes to become an artist is to start doing art.”
–from On Becoming an Artist
On Becoming an Artist is loaded with good news. Backed by her landmark scientific work on mindfulness and artistic nature, bestselling author and Harvard psychologist Ellen J. Langer shows us that creativity is not a rare gift that only some special few are born with, but rather an integral part of everyone’s makeup. All of us can express our creative impulses– authentically and uniquely–and, in the process, enrich our lives.
Why then do so many of us merely dream of someday painting, someday writing, someday making music? Why do we think the same old thoughts, harbor the same old prejudices, stay stuck in the same old mud? Who taught us to think “inside the box”?
No one is more qualified to answer these questions than Dr. Langer, who has explored their every facet for years. She describes dozens of fascinating experiments–her own and those of her colleagues–that are designed to study mindfulness and its relation to human creativity, and she shares the profound implications of the results–for our well-being, health, and happiness.
Langer reveals myriad insights, among them: We think we should already know what only firsthand experience can teach us. . . . In learning the ways that all roses are alike, we risk becoming blind to their differences. . . . If we are mindfully creative, the circumstances of the moment will tell us what to do. . . . Those of us who are less evaluatively inclined experience less guilt, less regret, less blame, and tend to like ourselves more. . . . Uncertainty gives us the freedom to discover meaning. . . . Finally, what we think we’re sure of may not even exist.
With the skill of a gifted logician, Langer demonstrates exactly how we undervalue ourselves and undermine our creativity. By example, she persuades us to have faith in our creative works, not because someone else approves of them but because they’re a true expression of ourselves. Her high-spirited, challenging book sparkles with wit and intelligence and inspires in us an infectious enthusiasm for our creations, our world, and ourselves. It can be of lifelong value to everyone who reads it.
