一月國際&華人講師最後一週將帶來的導讀書籍,先預告給大家~📖 Here’s a sneak peek at the book reviews coming your way from our International & Chinese speakers in the final week of January! 📖
🔖一月國際講師Seren推薦書籍:《便利商店的女人》日本作家村田沙耶香 2016 年創作的小說。 這本書講述了主角古倉惠子,在便利商店打工 18 年的故事。在世俗眼光中,她年過三十、沒有正職、沒有對象,是個徹底的「異常者」;但對惠子而言,便利商店的 SOP(標準作業程序)卻給予了她最純粹的安穩。這部作品深刻地叩問:當我們不符合社會的「劇本」時,我們還能擁有幸福的權利嗎? 它讓我們看見,所謂的正常往往只是一種集體偏見。如果你也曾在體制中感到窒息,惠子的故事會給你勇氣,去擁抱那個與眾不同的自己。 想知道為何Seren講師想分享此書籍呢?1/25 (日) 台北時間 20:00-21:30 上線直播 不見不散! 🔖一月華人講師:阿雯的推薦書籍:《別對每件事都有反應》 來自日本禪僧作家 枡野俊明 帶來的 99 個活出快意人生的禪練習。 在這個情緒容易被外界牽動的時代,我們常因他人的一句話或社交媒體上的訊息而心神不寧。這本書透過 99 個簡單的練習,教導我們如何保持「淡泊」。它告訴我們:「不反應」並非冷漠,而是一種守護內心平衡的智慧。 當我們學會放下對每件事的過度執著,才能在紛擾的世界中活得更從容、更自在。 這部作品深刻地提醒:保護好自己的能量,不隨便交出情緒的主導權。 如果你正感到焦慮、疲憊,或總是在意他人的眼光,阿雯講師推薦的這本書將陪你練習「心靈斷捨離」,找回那份久違的安寧。 想知道為何阿雯講師想分享此書籍呢?1/29 (四) 台北時間 20:00-21:30 上線直播 不見不散! -------------------------------------------------------- [EN] 🔖 January International Speaker Seren’s Book Recommendation: Convenience Store Woman A 2016 novel by Japanese author Sayaka Murata. This story follows Keiko Furukura, who has worked at a convenience store for 18 years. In the eyes of society, a woman in her thirties with no "real" career and no partner is seen as a complete outlier. However, for Keiko, the store’s SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) provide her with the purest sense of stability. The book poses a profound question: Do we still have the right to happiness when we don't follow society's "standard script"? It reveals that what we call "normal" is often just a collective bias. If you have ever felt suffocated by conventional systems, Keiko’s story will give you the courage to embrace your unconventional self. Want to know why Seren chose to share this book?

Don’t miss out! 🔖 January Chinese Speaker Arwen’s Book Recommendation: Don't React to Everything 99 Zen practices for a pleasurable life by Japanese Zen monk and author, Shunmyo Masuno. In an era where our emotions are easily swayed by the outside world, we often lose our peace over a single comment or a notification on social media. Through 99 simple exercises, this book teaches us how to practice "detachment." It tells us that "not reacting" isn't about being cold; it is a form of wisdom used to guard our inner equilibrium. When we learn to let go of our over-attachment to everything, we can live with more grace and freedom in this chaotic world.
