📚《紐約時報》2020年度十大好書
The Top 10 Books of 2020

🤕 Hidden Valley Road by Robert Kolker
Don and Mimi Galvin had the first of their 12 children in 1945. Intelligence and good looks ran in the family, but so, it turns out, did mental illness: By the mid-1970s, six of the 10 Galvin sons had developed schizophrenia. “For a family, schizophrenia is, primarily, a felt experience, as if the foundation of the family is permanently tilted,” Kolker writes. He unspools the stories of the Galvin siblings with enormous compassion while tracing the scientific advances in treating the illness.
1945年，唐和咪咪·加爾文生下了他們12個孩子中的第一個。這個家族遺傳了聰明和美貌，但事實證明，也遺傳了精神疾病：到1970年代中期，加爾文的10個兒子中有6個患了精神分裂症。「對於一個家庭來說，精神分裂症主要是這樣一種感覺，就好像這個家庭的基礎永久地傾斜了，」科爾克寫道。 他帶著極大的同情心講述了加爾文兄弟姐妹的故事，同時追溯了治療這種疾病的科學進步。

📖 A Promised Land by Barack Obama
Presidential memoirs are meant to inform, to burnish reputations and, to a certain extent, to shape the course of history, and Obama’s is no exception. What sets it apart from his predecessors’ books is the remarkable degree of introspection. He invites the reader inside his head as he ponders life-or-death issues of national security, examining every detail of his decision-making. “A Promised Land” is the first of two volumes — it ends in 2011 — and it is as contemplative and measured as the former president himself.
總統回憶錄主要是提供信息，烘托聲譽，在某種程度上還可以塑造歷史的進程，歐巴馬的回憶錄也不例外。這本書與其前輩們的書不同之處在於深刻的自省。他邀請讀者進入自己的腦海，思考關於國家安全的生死攸關問題，審視自己決策的每一個細節 。 《應許之地》是兩卷書中的上卷，結束時的時間是2011年，這本書和前總統本人一樣深沉審慎。

🌳 Shakespeare in a Divided America by James Shapiro
In his latest book, James Shapiro has outdone himself. He takes two huge cultural hyper-objects — Shakespeare and America — and dissects the effects of their collision. Each chapter centers on a year with a different thematic focus. The last chapter, “2017: Left | Right,” where Shapiro truly soars, analyzes the notorious Central Park production of “Julius Caesar.” By this point it is clear that the real subject of the book is not Shakespeare plays, but us, the U.S.
在他的最新著作中，夏皮羅超越了自己。他選取了兩個巨大的超級文化對象——莎士比亞和美國——並剖析了它們碰撞所產生的影響。每一章都圍繞一年展開，有不同的主題重點。 最後一章《2017年：左與右》是夏皮羅真正的升華，它分析了著名的中央公園版《凱撒大帝》。至此，很明顯，這本書的真正主題不是莎士比亞戲劇，而是我們，美國。

【用「窄式」閱讀，讓我能把每一天的 24 小時用得更好】

市面上有關成功學、快樂學 (在正向心理學大雨傘下) 的書，每天推陳出新。一種像是 self-help books，基於個人想法、經驗整理，另一種基於相較嚴謹的實證研究。但內容都是幫助想要在人生中變得更好的人，提供一些方向、方法。

我知道有些人不太喜歡這樣的書，包含身邊有些朋友。大多的論點是「每個人的人生不太ㄧ樣」、「人生沒有公式」等等的。但我想要逆風一下，提供不同的觀點和解釋。

如果這些書籍是由大學教授 (Adam Grant、Angela Duckworth)、或是具有批判性思維的新聞記者 (Malcolm Gladwell、James Clear) 所出的，當你認真把書念完，你會發現他們也沒有跟讀者說「人生一定要怎樣」。

他們提出來的人生成功「關鍵」，不管是恆毅力、專注力、刻意練習、製造心流、成長型思維、找到 Why、養成好的習慣、自制力 (Self-control) 還是其他的 psychological assets、 常常只是基於「高相關性」，而不是「因果論」。

✔︎ 建立好習慣、喜歡自己的工作、有深度工作力，就一定會成功、快樂嗎？答案當然是不一定。很多時候作者提出的是「必要條件」，「或是特點」，並非「充分條件」，而他們也從來沒有否認「機會」、「運氣」等等要素的重要性。

但，不管我們富不富裕、先天資源多寡，每一天都有公平的 24 小時。我們要如何運用這 24 小時，讓人生更好？

很多時候，這些書，藉由科學理論和很多人的故事，給了我們不少「參考」方向。在其中，也許我們都可以找到一點自己的影子。有時邊閱讀，自己也可以邊找到自己的盲點。用知識建立起 self-talk、反思的能力以及培養同理心。

✔︎ 而這樣用知識、思考讓自己更好的過程，我覺得是 21 世紀的每個人都需要的能力。

這次與 VoiceTube Vclass 合作的線上課程，就是結合了正向心理學中等等最重要的主題和英語學習理論中的「窄式學習」和「英語語塊」。

讀這兩本書讓我戒掉社群網站成癮，把時間花在新的習慣
《為什麼我們這樣生活，那樣工作？》和《原子習慣》的綜合應用
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
部落格好讀版：https://readingoutpost.com/2-books-to-quit-social-media-addiction/

《為什麼我們這樣生活，那樣工作？》（以下簡稱《為什麼》）的作者 Charles Duhigg 是一位得過普立茲獎的記者，書中他引用許多研究文獻和實際案例來佐證和剖析他對於「習慣迴路」和「改變習慣」的觀點。書中列舉了許多生活、學界、業界的實際故事來說明習慣迴路，為整個論述的過程增添了許多色彩。作者也提到改變習慣的執行指南，以及用例子說明這套方法的效用。

《原子習慣》的作者 James Clear 則從心理層面出發，先解釋了習慣對於個人發展為何會帶來巨大差異，接著再用絕大部分的篇幅，說明他提倡培養新習慣、戒掉舊習慣的四個步驟。跟前一本比較起來，《原子習慣》更像是一個行動手冊，先說服你改變習慣為何重要，再給你處方教導你如何執行。

選讀這兩本書的原因
自從iPhone推出「螢幕使用時間」的統計和提醒後，我發現自已使用社群網頁的時間就一直居高不下（臉書和PTT）。雖然自己知曉，但沒有個好方法來貫徹，總是不斷地落入發願、嘗試、失敗的迴圈。

每個人都有想要戒掉的「壞」習慣，舉凡情節重大的例如酗酒、抽菸、嗜吃；生活習慣例如昂貴的咖啡、漫無目的逛網頁、滑手機爬社群媒體。

另一方面，人們也有想要建立的「好」習慣。例如固定的運動時段、閱讀書籍的時間、寫筆記記錄生活。

但是習慣這檔事最困難的地方在於，大部分人都會遇到虎頭蛇尾的挫折感，剛開始熱切地改變習慣，但過了一兩週就打回原形。然後我們再來怪罪自己缺乏恆心和意志力，沒能好好地維持。到底為什麼改變習慣這麼難？

讀完這兩本書，或許會讓你豁然開朗；甚至更進一步，應用書中所學培養自己的新習慣。本文除了摘錄兩本書中精華，也舉出我的親身經驗。

如何改變習慣
《為什麼》花了近半篇幅，反覆地舉例、論證一個難以撼動的事實：生物會本能地受習慣牽引著，走過的生活軌跡和行為模式，都是受到環境的「提示」，以及完成行為後的「獎勵」所制約。我們對於獎勵的渴望是強烈的，如果沒特別思考其他的可能途徑，我們總會不加思索地採用舊的習慣行為來獲得這份獎勵。

書中舉例青少年時期就借酒澆愁的人們，透過酒精獲得了精神舒緩和放鬆的獎勵，即使成年之後仍會採取同樣的行為來滿足這份渴望。因此潛意識裡就會埋藏著，喝酒是最有效可靠的解憂方式。

所以該如何改變習慣？用一句話和一張圖足以總結《為什麼》的精華：如果想改變習慣，最佳方式就是：你必須保持舊的提示，並提供舊的獎勵，但插入一個新的行為模式。

《原子習慣》作者是個以改變習慣成名的部落客，他主張要改變習慣必須先從改變心態做起，「焦點永遠都要放在成為某一種人，而非得到某一種成果」。例如想要培養讀書的習慣，心態不該把目標放在每個月讀兩本這種結果上，而要打從心底認同自己要成為一個讀書的人。

有了正確心態的基礎後，就可以遵循建立新習慣四步驟：1) 讓提式顯而易見、2) 讓習慣有吸引力、3) 讓行動輕而易舉、4) 讓獎勵令人滿足。反之，若要戒掉舊習慣，則用同樣的步驟朝反方向操作。

戒掉社群網站成癮
《為什麼》是我約莫今年1月讀完的，當下決定運用書中流程，戒掉每天閒逛社群網站的習慣，尤其是臉書和PTT。後來透過朋友推薦再接觸到《原子習慣》，以下把兩本書綜合運用的6個步驟和結果做個分享。

１．認出慣性行為
身處科技業的我，下班回家後很累、很無聊，開始社群網頁的無盡迴圈，不斷看各種動態、新聞和參與各種社團討論直到洗澡睡覺。

２．做實驗找出獎勵
每一天測試一種行為，記錄事後的情緒和想法，持續兩週：1) 玩電腦遊戲、2) 看電影和影集、3) 單純閱讀書籍、4) 不瀏覽網頁，只參與社團討論、5) 只瀏覽網頁，不參與互動。經過交叉測試，前兩項讓我發現想要的不是娛樂。

分析自己閒逛社群網頁的習慣，是為了接觸新資訊、看新聞。參與社團討論大多是分享資訊給網友，而不是批評和閒聊。所以我想要的獎勵是「獲取新資訊和分享想法」。

３．改變身分認同的心態
我設定自己成吸收資訊的分享者，想培養的習慣是透過閱讀吸收資訊和寫作分享觀點。

４．使舊習慣隱而不見、讓它困難重重
起初，我把手機上的臉書和PTT軟體藏在層層資料夾裡，但最後總是能以最快的手順開啟它們。一週後，我把這兩個軟體從手機上刪除。其次，在電腦瀏覽器安裝 LeechBlock NG 套件，設定某些網頁只有在特定時段可以使用。例如臉書和PTT我設定只有 22:00-22:30 允用。

５．插入新的行為模式、讓它輕而易舉
把沒在看的書收到櫃子裡，桌上只放兩本正在看的書，避免自己分心。買了事務板夾，夾著廢紙隨時做閱讀筆記。

６．讓獎勵令人滿足
新的習慣開始在 Medium 平台發文，滿足於拍手數和追隨者增加的感覺。

舊的習慣則改變成，參加閱讀和寫作相關的社團，分享跟討論的內容更為聚焦，也有助於新習慣的發展。

結果
截至目前，完全戒斷手機上的社群網站。電腦上的使用，也僅止於特定時段，雖然偶爾會因為發文關係偷偷解鎖，但之後應該會朝向更有規律的使用方式。

但是要完全戒斷社群網站是何其困難的事情，尤其是經營社群和保持人群聯繫，忽略社群的龐大流量和群眾效應是很可惜的事。我採用的折衷做法是《一週工作4小時》書中提到「批次化處理」的方法來克服。

與其無時無刻地盯著社群網頁，不如改成每天、每兩天、甚至每週才撥出固定的時間，一次性地瀏覽、處理社群網頁的事務30分鐘，其他時間一律不看。這個做法的好處除了省下時間之外，更能夠讓自己聚焦精力在想要專心完成的事務上。

要先習慣自律，唯有透過自律才能真正自由
讀完這兩本書後，讓我想到經典名作《如何閱讀一本書》的作者 Mortimer J. Adler 有一句話說得非常好：

True freedom is impossible without a mind made free by discipline.
想獲得真正自由就必須高度自律。

我們想要改變習慣，莫過於想成為更好的自己，掌握更多的人生自主權。

透過有效的習慣改造指南，轉化那些虛擲時光、百害無益的舊習，擺脫直覺式、本性式的思考和行為模式，打造出高度自律的生活。懂得掌握習慣的規律並調整之，形塑自己理想中的生活樣貌，才能達到身心靈的真正自由。

習慣不會限制自由，而是創造了自由。事實上，沒能掌握習慣的人往往擁有最少的自由。—《原子習慣》

For those who were there at McDonough Gymnasium on August 4, 1994, few will forget the arrival of a 6-0 freshman guard who needed no introduction. The rumors of Allen Iverson's arrival to the Kenner Summer League were true, and by game's end, Iverson had scored 40 points. By the Sunday afternoon final, before an overflow crowd inside the gym and a crowd of those outside who could not get in, Iverson finished a combined 99 point effort in three days against some of the best collegiate talent in the city. This, of course, from a player that had not played organized basketball in over a year.

The Allen Iverson years had begun.

A brief profile can't do justice to tell the story of one of the greatest pure athletes ever to attend Georgetown, a man without peer in his talent over two years at the collegiate level. Just a year before his Kenner debut, few would have imagined Allen Iverson ever playing college basketball.

Iverson was not only a 31 point a game guard for Bethel HS, but a football player of tremendous skill. As a quarterback and defensive back his sophomore season, he produced nearly 1,600 yards offense and 13 INT's. By his junior year, he accounted for 2,204 yards, 21 touchdowns by rush or interception, and 14 touchdown passes. In a region which has produced NFL quarterbacks such as Michael Vick and Aaron Brooks, there are those who will still say "Bubbachuck" Iverson was better than both of them. Schools such as Arkansas, Kentucky, Duke, and three dozen other top programs across two sports were vying for perhaps the greatest two-sport star the Tidewater had ever produced.

When he led Bethel to the state title, someone asked what it was like to win the title. "I'm going to get one in basketball now," which he did. In late February, 1993, en route to the state title he had promised, Iverson was one of a large group of Bethel teammates at a Hampton bowling alley when a fight broke out between students from rival schools trading racial insults. Three people were hurt in the aftermath. Despite conflicting testimony from eyewitnesses and no clear evidence linking him to the crime, Iverson was one of four black students arrested.

Racial tensions were heightened when the prosecutors passed on a misdemeanor assault charge and charged Iverson with three counts of felony "maiming by mob", which carried a 20 year prison sentence. Despite video evidence which did not place Iverson in the crowd at the time of the fight, he was convicted in a racially charged case.

The 20 year sentence was later reduced to five, and Iverson was granted clemency by Gov. Douglas Wilder three months later, sending Iverson to a detention program at an alternative high school. (The original charges were thrown out by the Virginia court of appeals in 1995.)

In the spring of 1994, with Iverson still in detention, his mother approached John Thompson with a plea to help her son get to college and start a new chapter of his life. Though Thompson had passed on a number of troubled players in the past, he offered Iverson a scholarship in April of that season, contingent upon his completion of high school and his legal release, which was granted 48 hours before his Kenner debut.

By his debut in a Georgetown uniform in November 1994, Iverson had been the subject of intense national media attention. In the Hoyas' annual exhibition with Fort Hood, Iverson scored 36 points, five assists, and three steals in 23 minutes. Local columnists were in awe.

"Hang his number up in the rafters," wrote Tom Knott of the Washington Times. "He's better than most of the point guards in the NBA right now."

"I saw Lew Alcindor, Austin Carr, Moses Malone, Alonzo Mourning, Albert King, Ralph Sampson and Patrick Ewing play in high school," said the Post's Thomas Boswell. "Now, I have two memories on my first impression top shelf. The man who became Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Allen Iverson."

Iverson opened the 1994-95 season in Memphis, TN in a 97-79 loss to defending NCAA champion Arkansas, scoring 19 points. Six days later, he scored 31 in a nationally televised game with DePaul, followed by 30 four days later against Providence, leading the team in scoring 22 times that season. His only game under double figures for the season (and his career) was a game where he played only ten minutes in a loss at Villanova, a game Georgetown coach John Thompson threatened to forfeit when a group of Villanova students paraded through the Spectrum in black and white-striped prison garb, with a sign comparing Iverson to O.J. Simpson.

"You accept certain ribbing, but there is a line," Thompson said after the game. "I can condone any Christian university sitting and watching that happen...If that happens [again], I going to walk. It that simple." Such fan behavior was not seen thereafter.

Later in the season, with President Bill Clinton in attendance, Iverson scored 26 as the Hoyas routed Villanova, 77-52. He followed it up with 21 to beat Syracuse, 28 versus St. John's, 31 in a Big East tournament opener with Miami (a game that saw Iverson outscore the entire Hurricane team at the end of the first half), and 27 versus Connecticut in the semis. In the NCAA regional, he scored 24 in the loss, but held Jeff McInnis to 1 for 8 shooting. By season's end, Allen Iverson had been named Big East Player of the Week nine times, Rookie of the Year, a second team all-conference selection, and honorable mention All-America recipient. Having led the Hoyas in points and steals en route to the school's first NCAA regional appearance since 1989, Iverson was already a star. By 1996, he would become nothing less than a sensation.

The leaser of a talented team that featured four future NBA stars, Allen Iverson dominated the 1995-96 season as no Hoya has done before or since. Adept at the crossover dribble that became his NBA trademark, lightning quick to the basket, and able to score on opponents at will, Iverson was largely unstoppable. Even more impressive was an effort to improve his shooting touch, for despite averaging 20.4 points as a freshman in 1994-95 (2nd all time for a Georgetown rookie), Iverson only shot 39 percent from the field, 23 percent from three, and 19 percent from three in Big East play. For his sophomore season, his field shooting increased to 48 percent, his three point mark to 36 percent. The results were striking.

In the pre-season NIT versus Temple, Iverson shot 50 percent for 24 points and a career high 10 rebounds. After a 23 point effort against Georgia Tech, he scored a career high 40 against Arizona, one of two 40+ point games that season. In Big East play, Iverson could ring up points with ease, such as the game where he scored 21 points in only 20 minutes against Rutgers.

In the final three months of the season, Iverson led the team in 21 of the team's 25 games: 40 against Seton Hall, 39 against St. John's, 34 against Providence. He scored 30 in a wild win over Memphis, and followed it up two nights later with 26 in an upset of #3 Connecticut. For the game, Iverson totalled 26 points, 8 steals, and 6 assists, including a soaring dunk past Ray Allen and the Huskies. It was the highest ranked team any Georgetown team had defeated since 1988. His best performance of the season might have been a 37 point, 8 rebound, and three steal effort against #6 ranked Villanova, playing only 27 minutes. The 106-68 win represents the sixth largest margin of victory and the largest margin ever by a Georgetown team against a top 10 opponent.

Iverson was capable of an off game; unfortunately, two came at particularly inopportune times for the Hoyas' hopes for a national title. Entering the 1996 Big East Final with a #1 seed on the line, Iverson shot 4 for 15 and the Hoyas lost by one, 76-75. As a result of the loss, Georgetown was seeded #2 behind top ranked UMass, and in the regional final between the two teams Iverson struggled with a 6 for 21 effort in the loss. For the season, though, his statistics were astonishing: his 926 points broke the then-record by 124 points. He set new single season marks in field goals, field goal attempts, three pointers, three point attempts, steals, minutes, and scoring average (25.0), the latter of which ranked 7th in the nation that season. The Big East's defensive player of the year, he was named a consensus All-American amidst numerous other awards.

If he could somehow have stayed four years, Iverson undoubtedly would have shredded the Georgetown record books. But whatever hopes existed for Iverson to resist the lure of the NBA were short lived, particularly with the news that one of his sisters had fallen ill. Seeing the opportunity to take care of his family's medical needs, Iverson announced for the NBA draft soon after the end of his sophomore season, becoming the first Georgetown player in the Thompson era to do so. The compact that had bound so many great Hoya players to a four year commitment--from Ewing to Williams, Mourning to Mutombo--had now been broken.

The first pick in the 1996 NBA draft, Iverson signed a $3.9 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers and a ten year, $50 million deal with Reebok. His effort on the court is well known and respected, but for all the media portrayals of Iverson as the anti-hero, an icon of a "Hip Hop Nation" that ran counter to the NBA's carefully constructed marketing image, or as a symbol of all that is allegedly wrong in professional basketball, he remains remarkably well-grounded.

Married for six years and the father of two, Iverson is fiercely loyal to his teammates and to his childhood friends. He considered it an honor to play for the U.S. Olympic team in 2004 when other NBA stars passed on the offer, and maintains a number of charity events to benefit his local community. In comparison to his NBA career, his years at Georgetown were largely free of the intense media and personal scrutiny, providing at least two years where he could grow as a person as well as a basketball player.

His arrival and exit at Georgetown is still a source of debate in some circles, but his performance on the court is not. Allen Iverson found a home, even briefly, at the Hilltop, and remains one of its brightest stars. "In my heart, I know I'm a basketball player," Iverson said following his 2006 NBA trade, "being that I know I can play with the best of them."

From that first Kenner League game on 1994, no one has doubted it since.
