摩托車修理店的未來工作哲學作者又一傑出作品
身處資訊爆炸的時代,如何在見異思遷、三心二意的環境中 集中注意力並提升自己 現今人們常抱怨破碎的思緒,苦惱於外力的影響下注意力難以集中,以及干擾心神安寧。柯勞佛提出任何反制上述情況的手法,首先在於認同注意力形塑自我。他前後審視了極其專注的曲棍球球員、速食廚師、賭徒的類自閉症上癮行為、生活中常見的問題,以及深奧又費工的管風琴組裝過程。柯勞佛舉證吾輩當今的注意力危機,不過是數位科技下的表面結果;當某些針對與人類天性嚴重衝突的西方文化根源所做的假設,在得到印證且詳加瞭解後,一切事態都將更加清晰明瞭。 書中柯勞佛幫助讀者瞭解許多日常生活中所熟悉的現象,打從機場保安的挫折到網路一窩蜂的怪象,以及我們對孩子教養方式所帶來的影響、公共空間的設計,甚至是民主的存續與否,整體而言,《超》是一本極度切合當代生活的知識來源。 In this brilliant follow-up, Matthew Crawford, author of the bestselling Shop Class As Soulcraft, investigates the challenge of mastering one's own mind. We often complain about our fractured mental lives and feel beset by outside forces that destroy our focus and disrupt our peace of mind. Any defence against this, Crawford argues, requires that we reckon with the way attention sculpts the self. He examines the intense concentration of hockey players and short-order cooks, the quasi-autistic behaviour of gambling addicts, the familiar hassles of daily life, and the deep, slow craftwork of building pipe organs. He shows that our current crisis of attention is only superficially the result of digital technology and becomes more comprehensible when understood as the culmination of certain assumptions at the root of Western culture that are profoundly at odds with human nature. The World Beyond Your Head makes sense of an astonishing array of familiar phenomena, from the frustrations of airport security to the rise of the hipster. With implications for the way we raise our children, the design of public spaces, and even the survival of democracy, this is a book of urgent relevance to contemporary life. |
