內容介紹

「瑪麗·派佛的人生故事述說了人如何在任何情況下保持冷靜、連結、彈性和喜悅的質地。《光的生命》為人們提供了希望和方向,同時滋養了心靈和靈魂、思想和精神。」——喇嘛蘇里亞·達斯,暢銷書《佛性覺醒》作者


  
「威廉·布萊克說,良善只能於『微小的細節中』發現,瑪麗·派佛在《光的生命》中向記憶的獨特之美致敬,以溫柔的存在,終生向光明敞開,美得令人心碎神暖。」——傑克·科恩菲爾德,《心之道》作者


 
「這本光彩耀人的回憶錄中充滿啟發,專注於光明和超越。這本書文筆優美,發自內心,感人至深,瑪麗從豐富的生活細節中闡明了普世的課題。她的靈魂光輝閃耀在每一頁。」——珍·基爾伯恩,公共演說家,作家,電影製作人和社會運動者

 

暢銷書《拯救奧菲莉亞》、《女子划向北方》作者瑪麗·派佛的散文回憶錄,照映了現實光耀、韌性和不斷變化的本質。

 

瑪麗·派佛在她光輝燦爛的新散文回憶錄中,正如她在《紐約時報》暢銷書《女子划向北方》中所做的那樣——挖掘了一個文化時刻,為失去和改變提供智慧、希望和洞察力。瑪麗·派佛作為一名專門研究女性、創傷以及文化如何影響心理健康的心理學家,她從自己的經驗和專業中出發,寫下《光的生命》,她向內看,看入真實,看是什麼塑造她作為一個女人,一個經歷過黑暗的生命,總是被光所吸引。

 

她直言不諱地描繪了艱難的童年和生活的困境,充滿了歡樂和啟示的時刻、悲劇和平凡的苦難、閃爍的微光和暗影。小時候,她與父母長期分離。那些分離深深地影響了她,但在《光的生命》中,她與讀者分享那些生命時刻,以及她一生中如何磨煉、利用她所學到的技巧,平衡了生命的絕望與快樂。瑪麗用她的人生提醒我們,韌性的銀線會流經整個生命,儘管我們再絕望,但光終會回返。

 

在這本書中,她將我們引向了那道光。

書評

“Radiant essays about how joy and loss often coexist. . . To nudge readers toward building their own 'transcendent narratives,' Pipher braids in insights from her 25 years as a therapist, citing how acknowledging 'evidence of growth' in one's story, regardless of how big or small, can open up pathways toward healing. Those struggling to overcome darkness will find a guiding light in this incandescent work.” ―Publishers Weekly, starred review

 

“For psychologist Pipher, the light found in nature, caring relationships, work, and books has always been the key to happiness. In this beautifully written memoir, her memories of childhood in Nebraska are vivid and poignant. . . .
