作者简介
Amazon.com Review
Kabat-Zinn, founder of the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, is perhaps the best-known proponent of using meditation to help patients deal with illness. (The somewhat confusing title is from a line in Zorba the Greek in which the title character refers to the ups and downs of family life as "the full catastrophe.") But this book is also a terrific introduction for anyone who has considered meditating but was afraid it would be too difficult or would include religious practices they found foreign. Kabat-Zinn focuses on "mindfulness," a concept that involves living in the moment, paying attention, and simply "being" rather than "doing." While you can practice anything "mindfully," from taking a walk to cleaning your house, Kabat-Zinn presents several meditation techniques that focus the attention most clearly, whether it's on a simple phrase, your breathing, or various parts of your body. The book goes into detail about how hospital patients have either improved their health or simply come to feel better despite their illness by using these techniques, but these meditations can help anyone deal with stress and gain a calmer outlook on life. "When we use the word healing to describe the experiences of people in the stress clinic, what we mean above all is that they are undergoing a profound transformation of view," Kabat-Zinn writes. "Out of this shift in perspective comes an ability to act with greater balance and inner security in the world." --Ben Kallen --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly
Kabat-Zinn is founder and director of the stress reduction program at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, and the "full catastrophe" of which he writes is the spectrum of stress in life. His program, in a word, is meditation, rescued from the mire of mysticism that made it trendy in the 1960s. The author focuses on the advantages of employing "practiced mindfulness" to control and calm our responses without blunting our feelings--and a more convincing introduction to the many modes and uses of meditation could hardly be imagined. In personable, enlightening prose, Kabat-Zinn first explains how to develop a meditation schedule, and in later chapters pragmatically applies his plan to the main sources of stress. An impressive middle section clearly marshals scientific and anecdotal evidence relating state of mind to state of health. And while emphasizing meditation's healing potential, Kabat-Zinn makes no sweeping claims, suggesting that the discipline serve not as means but end. Illustrations not seen by PW.

翻开《Full Catastrophe Living》，我仿佛走进了一个充满智慧的花园，每一页都散发着令人心安的芬芳。这本书的叙事方式非常独特，它不是一本生硬的理论书籍，而是充满了真实生活中的故事和作者个人的感悟。我尤其被书中关于“接受”的探讨所打动。作者并没有教导我们如何消除负面情绪，而是指导我们如何与它们和谐相处。这对我来说是一个巨大的启示，因为我一直以来都试图压抑和忽视那些让我感到不舒服的情绪，结果却适得其反。通过阅读这本书，我学会了如何用一种更温和、更具同情心的方式对待自己。当我感到失落、愤怒或焦虑时，我不再将它们视为敌人，而是将其看作是生命给予我的信号，试图告诉我一些重要的事情。这种视角的转变，让我卸下了沉重的包袱，内心变得更加轻松和自由。书中提供的许多练习，比如“自我关怀”的技巧，都非常实用，我可以很容易地将它们融入到我的日常生活中。例如，每天花几分钟时间，安静地坐着，感受自己的呼吸，觉察身体的感觉，这让我感到一种前所未有的平静。这本书让我意识到，生命的“完整”并非在于拥有多少，而在于我们如何体验和理解我们所拥有的一切。
评分《Full Catastrophe Living》是一次深刻的自我探索之旅，它带领我走进了那个我一直试图逃避的“不完美”的生活。这本书的魅力在于它的真实和深刻，作者并没有回避生活中那些令人痛苦的现实，而是以一种充满智慧和同情心的方式，引导读者去面对它们。我特别欣赏书中关于“韧性”的讨论，它并非强调硬碰硬的抵抗，而是教会我们如何在逆境中保持弹性，如何在跌倒后重新站起来。这让我意识到，我们所经历的每一个挑战，无论大小，都是塑造我们内在力量的机会。我开始尝试运用书中的一些方法来处理我生活中遇到的困难，例如，当我遇到难以解决的问题时，我不再陷入无休止的担忧和自责，而是尝试用一种更开放的心态去观察问题，寻找可行的解决方案。这种改变让我感到自己更加强大，也更加有信心去应对未来的未知。这本书就像一位经验丰富的向导，在我迷茫时指引方向，在我跌倒时伸出援手。它让我明白，生命的意义并非在于追求某种理想化的状态，而在于我们如何经历、学习和成长。
评分《Full Catastrophe Living》给我的震撼，远不止于文字本身，更多的是它所带来的思维模式的颠覆。我过去一直认为，生活的“成功”就是避免一切痛苦和挫折，将生活打造成一个完美无瑕的剧本。然而，这本书却如同一面镜子，照出了我这种想法的局限性。作者以一种近乎挑战的姿态，鼓励我们拥抱那些我们一直试图回避的“灾难”，不是去征服它们，而是去理解它们，与它们共存。我特别喜欢书中关于“应对痛苦”的部分，它并没有提供廉价的“解决方案”，而是引导读者去探索痛苦背后的根源，以及如何通过改变我们对痛苦的认知来减轻其影响。我开始练习书中的一些正念技巧，比如在感到不适时，停下来，深呼吸，然后观察身体的感受，不去评判，只是单纯地感受。起初，这种练习并不容易，但随着时间的推移，我发现自己对情绪的觉察能力大大提高，也更能识别那些触发负面情绪的模式。最令人惊喜的是，这种改变让我对人际关系也有了更深的理解。当我不再强求自己和他人总是处于“完美”状态时，我发现自己更能容忍差异，更能理解他人的难处，也更能建立起更真诚、更持久的连接。这本书让我明白，真正的力量并非来自逃避，而是来自敢于面对和拥抱生命的全部，包括那些不那么美好的部分。
评分阅读《Full Catastrophe Living》的过程，对我来说是一次心灵的洗礼。这本书以一种温暖而有力的方式，向我展示了如何与生命中的“不确定性”和“挑战”共舞。我一直以来都认为，生活应该是按部就班、井然有序的，任何偏离预期的事件都会让我感到不安。然而，这本书彻底颠覆了我的这种观念。作者鼓励我们拥抱那些我们无法控制的事情，并从中找到力量和意义。我尤其被书中关于“接纳”的理念所吸引，它不是一种被动的妥协，而是一种主动的、充满智慧的选择。通过学习书中的正念练习，我开始能够更冷静地观察自己的情绪，不再被它们所裹挟。当我感到压力山大时，我尝试去感受那种压力，理解它可能带来的信息，然后寻找更有效的应对策略，而不是一味地抗拒。这种转变让我感到内心更加平和，也更能享受当下的生活。这本书就像一股清流，滋润了我干涸的心灵，让我重新找回了对生活的掌控感。它让我明白，真正的“完整”并非意味着消除生活中的所有问题，而是学会如何在问题中成长，如何在这个复杂而美好的世界里，活出最真实的自己。
评分读完《Full Catastrophe Living》之后，我被书中深刻的洞察力和实践性建议所深深吸引。这本书不仅仅是一本关于应对生活困境的书，更像是一位智者循循善诱的教导，引导我重新审视并接纳生命中的“不完美”和“意外”。它让我明白，真正的“完整”并非源于消除所有负面因素，而是在接纳和理解的基础上，学会如何在混乱中找到平静，如何在挑战中发掘力量。书中那些关于“臣服”、“全然体验”和“此刻当下”的理念，起初听起来有些抽象，但作者通过大量生动的案例和深入浅出的讲解，将这些高深的哲学智慧融入日常生活的点滴之中。我开始尝试将这些原则应用到自己的生活中，比如在面对工作压力时，不再一味地抗拒和抱怨，而是尝试去感受压力的存在，理解它可能带来的信息，然后从中找到更有效的应对方式。这种转变是潜移默化的，但其效果却是惊人的。原本让我感到焦虑和沮丧的事情，似乎不再那么具有压迫感，取而代之的是一种更加从容和积极的态度。它教会我，即使在最艰难的时刻，我们依然拥有选择如何回应的力量，而这种力量，往往比我们想象的要强大得多。这本书让我对“完整”有了全新的定义，它不再是遥不可及的理想状态，而是随时随地可以抵达的内在平和。
