具体描述
Jonathan Livingston Seagull, the most celebrated inspirational fable of our time, tells the story of a bird determined to be more than ordinary. This bestselling modern classic, reissued with a beautiful new cover design, is a story for people who want to follow their dreams and make their own rules and has inspired people for decades. 'Most gulls don't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight -- how to get from shore to food and back again,' writes author Richard Bach in this allegory about a unique bird named Jonathan Livingston Seagull. 'For most gulls it is not flying that matters, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight.' Flight is indeed the metaphor that makes this story soar. This bestselling modern classic is a fable about seeking a higher purpose in life, even if your flock, tribe or neighbourhood finds your ambition threatening (at one point our beloved gull is even banished from his flock). By not compromising his higher vision, Jonathan learns the meaning of love and kindness and gets the ultimate payoff -- transcendence. The dreamy illustrations by Russell Munson provide just the right illustrations for this spirituality classic that has inspired thousands of readers to follow their own path in life and so fulfill their true potential.

打开《海鸥乔纳森》,扉页写着“献给真正的海鸥乔纳森,他就活在我们心中”。不禁思索,真正的海鸥乔纳森是怎样的形象?一百个人阅读,会有一百种解释,而全书让我印象最深的一句,他是“一只在学习中追求卓越的海鸥。” 在乔纳森身上,我看到了17岁就开始学习飞行的作者的身...
在读之前便想定有人认为这种励志不过是瞎扯淡,事实果然如此。这本书同目前市场上那些平庸的励志书不同,它的励志关于自由关于更深的境界。 这本书一些人认为豪不励志,可能与中西方文化差异有关。譬如彼得巴菲特的《做你自己》就与现在部分沽名钓誉的所谓成功人士...

Part One不就一个青年文摘的励志故事嘛。。Part Two&Three太圣经了。。。性价比不是一般的差,八十几页卖67块钱,字大如斗,将近三分之一是整页的照片,标价6.99英镑,我看6.99人民币还差不多
世上的鸡汤大抵相同,句子写得还不错用词简单……
