有哪些令人心動的好書？為什么？

Marc Srour
1984 and Brave New World for clarifying just how easy it is to control people.
Jules Verne's books, not only for fathering modern sci fi, but also for serving as models for how sci fi can inspire real technology and actions.
In terms of universe building, Tolkien's Silmarillion, Hobbit, and LotR sagas are unparalleled. The care taken by Tolkien to make these alternate realities so vivid and real blows me away every time I read them - these are worlds and cultures with detailed histories, not just generated using a random culture generator.
The dream sequences in Paprika (Yasutaka Tsutsui) are pretty mindblowing, as is the whole metafictional concept. The essence was captured and modified very well in the 2006 film.
For sci fi: Robert A. Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, and Philip K. Dick for great sci fi. Honorable mention for Odd John by Olaf Stapledon for effectively taking down the notion of an übermensch utopian society being superior (I use it when teaching human evolution too). Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy and his new novel 2312 also deserve mention for exploring space colonisation in very ambitious ways that will blow your mind. Asimov's Foundation series also blew my mind with all the machinations that happen and the way characters and methods you think are infallible keep getting shown to fall victim to being ultimately derived from humans and thus nowhere near perfect.

《1984》和《美麗新世界》揭示了控制人民是多么容易。 ?朱爾斯·凡爾納的書籍，不僅是現(xiàn)代科幻小說的鼻祖，而且還是科幻如何激發(fā)真實技術(shù)和行動的模范。 ?在宇宙創(chuàng)造方面，《精靈寶鉆》、《霍比特人》和《指環(huán)王》系列的托爾金無與倫比。托爾金花費(fèi)的心思讓他們成為了一個如此生動而真實的替代現(xiàn)實 - 這些是有著詳細(xì)歷史的世界和文化，而不是僅僅使用隨機(jī)文化生成器生成的。 ?《夢游巴黎》(筒井康隆)中的夢境場景非常驚人，整個元小說的概念也很棒。2006年電影很好地捕捉并修改了其本質(zhì)。 ?對于科幻小說：羅伯特·海因萊因、阿瑟·C·克拉克和菲利普·K·迪克都創(chuàng)作了優(yōu)秀的科幻小說。榮譽(yù)提及奧拉夫·斯特普頓的《奇怪的約翰》有效地打破了超人類烏托邦社會優(yōu)越的觀念 (我在教授人類進(jìn)化時也會用到它)。金·斯坦利·羅賓遜的《火星三部曲》和他的新作《2312》也值得一提，因為它們以非常宏大的方式探索了太空殖民，會讓你大吃一驚。阿西莫夫的《基地》系列也讓我震驚不已，所有發(fā)生的陰謀詭計以及你認(rèn)為是不可錯的角色和方法都被證明源于人類而因此遠(yuǎn)非完美。

Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan is required reading for every single person in the world, along with watching Cosmos.
Steve Gould's Structure of Evolutionary Theory is a masterful work that will make you rethink a lot of your thoughts about evolution, although admittedly not easy reading even for a biologist. Honouirable mention for Maynard Smith & Szathmary's Major Transitions in Evolution for giving us a new way of thinking about the history of life, even if I don't quite agree with their transitions.
E.O. Wilson's books about ants and how to be a naturalist are more inspirational than mindblowing, but I feel bad leaving them out because they have been very influential for me.
Richard Holmes's The Age of Wonder enlightened me a lot about that early period of science.
Harun Yahya/Adnan Oktar's Atlas of Creation blew my mind by showcasing just how stupid and/or ignorant and/or conniving conartists people can be.

卡爾·薩根的《被魔鬼纏身的世界》是世界上每個人都需要閱讀的必修書籍，與觀看《宇宙》一樣。 史蒂夫·古爾德的《進(jìn)化理論的結(jié)構(gòu)》是一部杰作，會讓你重新思考你對進(jìn)化的想法，盡管即使對于生物學(xué)家來說，這也不是易讀的。麥納德·史密斯和薩瑟瑪里的《進(jìn)化中的重大轉(zhuǎn)折》也值得一提，因為它給我們提供了一種新的思考生命歷史的方式，盡管我并不完全同意它們的轉(zhuǎn)折想法。 E.O.威爾遜關(guān)于螞蟻和如何成為一名自然主義者的書比令人驚嘆更具啟發(fā)性，但我覺得把它們排除在外是有點(diǎn)遺憾的，因為它們對我有很大的影響。 ?理查德·霍姆斯的《奇觀時代》讓我對科學(xué)早期有了很多啟示。 哈倫·亞希亞/阿德南·奧克塔爾的《創(chuàng)世紀(jì)圖集》通過展示人們有多么愚蠢、無知和/或狡猾，讓我大開眼界。

Life changing:
The User Illusion, by Tor Norretranders.
Read it twice.
You will never see the world the same. Very well written and researched. None of the data or concepts are in the public dialog and after reading this book you will ask why.
I shall offer just one point: the Conscious mind is fed "reality" by the sub Conscious. The sub Conscious edits 98% of the input it receives from your senses and present a Believable concept of the world. It also reacts to all inputs and Responds in most cases before you have even made your Conscious choice. This all happens in a proven 1/2 second delay between the reaction of your conscious mind to any input. This is a very long period in time in reality when it comes to making choices as these delays set a cascade of events that if really understood are making you more into an observer of "you" then a controller of your reactions. The shocker comes when it is demonstrated that your sub Conscious recreates "time" in your mind so as to allow you to "Believe" your conscious was in control the entire time.
I am not doing proper justice to this, just one of the concepts this book covers. Nor can I cite the 100s of repeatable science behind the concepts.

改變?nèi)松臅?br /> 托爾·諾爾騰德斯的《用戶錯覺》。 讀兩次。您的世界觀將永遠(yuǎn)改變。這本書非常好寫作和研究，其中沒有任何數(shù)據(jù)或概念在公共對話中，讀完這本書后您會問為什么。
我只想提出一點(diǎn)：意識思維由下意識思維提供“現(xiàn)實世界”的輸入。下意識思維編輯從您的感官接收到的98%的輸入，并呈現(xiàn)一個可信的世界概念。它也對所有的輸入做出反應(yīng)，并在大多數(shù)情況下在您做出意識選擇之前就做出了反應(yīng)。這種反應(yīng)要經(jīng)過已被證明的1/2秒延遲。當(dāng)涉及到做出選擇時，這是一個非常長的時間段，因為這些延遲會引發(fā)一系列事件，如果真正理解這些事件，會讓您更多地成為“您”的觀察者，而不是您反應(yīng)的控制者。震驚的是，當(dāng)被證明您的下意識思維在您的頭腦中重新創(chuàng)造“時間”以便讓您“相信”您的意識思維一直在控制整個過程時，您會產(chǎn)生強(qiáng)烈的震撼感。
我沒有完全表達(dá)這個概念，只是這本書涵蓋的一個概念。我也無法引用所有這些概念背后的數(shù)百個可重復(fù)的科學(xué)證據(jù)。

A Thousand Splendid Suns - I cried my eyes out while reading it. It speaks about the power of love and is set Afganisthan at the time when the country was under the influence of the Taliban. It is centered around two women which makes it all the more painful considering the state of women in that country. Khaled Hosseini has written it simply yet beautifully. It isn't a fairy tale and not for weaklings as it puts forward (pretty painfully) the harsh realities of a life of a woman.
The Kite Runner - Another masterpiece by the above mentioned author. This too is set in Afganisthan and again with the Taliban in picture. This too is an extremely painful story. This one is about friendship and redemption. This was the first novel that I cried while reading.
The Godfather - A classic bestseller. Its about the American underworld which was controlled by some ridiculously powerful people(the mafia) who originated from the Sicilian parts of Italy. Another point this book focused on was that FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD.

《燦爛千陽》 - 我在閱讀時哭得稀里嘩啦。它講述了愛的力量，并設(shè)置在塔利班控制下的阿富汗。它圍繞著兩個女性展開，這讓它更加令人痛苦，考慮到那個國家的婦女狀況?？ɡ盏隆ず钯愐蛞院啙嵍利惖奈淖謱懴铝诉@部作品。這不是童話故事，也不適合脆弱的人，因為它（相當(dāng)痛苦地）呈現(xiàn)了一個女性生活的殘酷現(xiàn)實。
《追風(fēng)箏的人》 - 這位作者的另一部杰作。同樣設(shè)定在阿富汗，同樣有塔利班的影響。這也是一個極其痛苦的故事。它關(guān)于友誼和救贖。這是我在閱讀時第一次哭泣的小說。
《教父》- 經(jīng)典暢銷書。它講述了被一些極其強(qiáng)大的人（黑手黨）控制的美國地下世界，他們起源于意大利西西里部分地區(qū)。這本書還強(qiáng)調(diào)了家庭是世界上最重要的東西的觀點(diǎn)。

Kane and Abel - often considered to be the best work of Jeffery Archer, it is an immensely powerful novel with such characters that will make you wish the story never ends...its the story of two powerful, brilliant men obsessed with destroying each other, the obsession being sparked by a little misunderstanding between the two who indulge in a mindless, unnecessary feud while they might have been great friends at another place, another time.
Edit : Some more books to add to the list -
To Kill A Mocking Bird - Harper Lee's classic. A great piece of writing. An amazing story on different kinds of prejudices surrounding a society (an American society in particular) but most importantly it puts forwards the racial injustice in the American society during the 20th century. What is most special about this book is that the narrator in the book is a child, a little girl who is 6 years of age when the story takes off and the narrator's father is one of the most likable characters ever whom you can't help but admire. On top of all, it has some very thoughtful and unforgettable quotes.

《凱恩和亞伯》 - 傑弗瑞·阿切爾的代表作，是一部極具影響力的小說，其人物形象會讓你希望故事永遠(yuǎn)不會結(jié)束……這是兩個充滿力量和才華的男人相互毀滅的故事，因為兩人之間的一個小誤解而引發(fā)了無謂的爭斗，而他們本來可以在另一個地方、另一個時期成為好朋友。
編輯：添加更多的書籍到列表中——
《殺死一只知更鳥》 - 哈珀·李的經(jīng)典之作。一篇優(yōu)秀的文章。一個驚人的故事，講述了圍繞社會存在的不同種類的偏見（特別是美國社會）但最重要的是它展現(xiàn)了 20 世紀(jì)美國社會中的種族不公正。這本書最特別的地方在于書中的敘述者是一個孩子，一個六歲的小女孩，而敘述者的父親是史上最受喜愛和令人欽佩的角色之一，你無法不欽佩他。此外，這本書還有一些非常深思熟慮和難以忘懷的名言。

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd - Boy, oh boy. A fan of murder mystery stories or not, this is one Agatha Christie book that one should just not miss. You will actually feel your heart racing at point when the murderer is about to be declared in the book. If this one doesn't leave you in a trance, then I don't know what will.
And Then There Were None - Often considered the best work of Agatha Christie. Ten people die one by one and the murderer is one of them. Even so the murderer isn't obvious until after the epilogue. These words speak for themselves. Miss this one at your own risk.

《羅杰·艾克洛伊德之死》 - 無論您是否是偵探小說迷，這本阿加莎·克里斯蒂的書都不容錯過。在書中揭示謀殺者的時候，您會感到自己的心在怦怦直跳。如果這本書無法讓您入迷，那我不知道還有什么能做到了。 《無人生還》- 這本書被認(rèn)為是阿加莎·克里斯蒂最好的作品。十個人一個接一個地死去，而兇手就在其中之一。即便如此，在后記之后，兇手仍然不明顯。這些話已經(jīng)說明了一切。若錯過這本書，您將自行承擔(dān)風(fēng)險。

I find it hard to believe that 2 absolutely path-breaking, revolutionary books of crime fiction don't find mention here-
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
And then there were none
Both of these novels are by Agatha Christie, and are regarded as her finest works
Detective/crime fiction is, by it's nature, something to wrack your brains over. There are very few books that come close to the 2 that I've mentioned above. And I've read a pretty decent amount of crime fiction :)

我很難相信在這里沒有提到兩本絕對開創(chuàng)性和革命性的犯罪小說——《羅杰阿克羅伊德之謀殺案》和《無人生還》。這兩本小說都是阿加莎·克里斯蒂的作品，并被認(rèn)為是她最好的作品。偵探/犯罪小說本質(zhì)上就是要讓你發(fā)揮你的頭腦。很少有書能像我上面提到的這兩本書一樣引人入勝。我已經(jīng)讀了相當(dāng)數(shù)量的犯罪小說 :)

Erik Willekens
This book reverses some of the basic paradigms in psychology and therapy. It opened my eye to not only want to see the "good intentions" of people but also their personal style of getting what they want. To see people can actually intentionally manipulate others. Doesn't seem a cheerful book to read and it isn't, yet it surely is an empowering one if you are dealing with people who challenge you on the deepest level.
Another, complementing book is No More mister Nice Guy by Robert Glover.
No More Mr. Nice Guy!: Robert A. Glover: 9780762415335: Amazon.com: Books
Not always perfectly nuanced but very eye-opening indeed. Challenging the most ingrained paradigm in a lot of people nowadays. The principles are not only suited for men though the book is mainly written for the "strong sex".

這本書顛覆了心理學(xué)和治療中一些基本范式。它讓我不僅想要看到人們的“好意”，還想看到他們追求自己目標(biāo)的個人風(fēng)格。人們可能會有意識地操縱其他人，這點(diǎn)也讓我有所認(rèn)識。雖然這本書似乎不是一本愉快的讀物，確實如此，但如果您正在應(yīng)對那些在最深層次上挑戰(zhàn)您的人，這本書肯定會讓您更有力量。
另一本補(bǔ)充性的書是羅伯特·格洛弗的《不再做好人》（No More Mr. Nice Guy）。
這本書不總是完美微妙，但確實非常開眼界。它挑戰(zhàn)了當(dāng)今許多人根深蒂固的范式。這些原則不僅適用于男性，盡管這本書主要是為“強(qiáng)者性別”寫的。

Then there is one that might seem to contradict the last two yet if the principles are applied in an integrated way it's liberating and rejuvenating. This book is so fundamental, it might even offset you, it implores you to rethink and turn around your basic ways of communication.
It's not particularly well written, yet the message on how to communicate better has made a profound difference in my life and countless others. The first two books could be considered the why, this one is big part of the how. Being vulnerable, really showing what is alive in you and learning to express what you long for in a way that actually invites others instead of demanding or tricking, it makes way for open, clear, honest, compassionate communication.
It's a profound experience to learn how it is to actually be real to the people around you. This book can help you.
Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life: Marshall B. Rosenberg, Arun Gandhi

還有一本書可能似乎與前兩本相矛盾，但是如果將這些原則以整合的方式應(yīng)用，它會帶來解放和煥發(fā)活力。這本書是如此基礎(chǔ)，甚至可能顛覆您的想象。它敦促您重新思考和改變您的基本溝通方式。
盡管它的寫作不是特別好，但是關(guān)于如何更好地溝通的信息在我的生活和無數(shù)他人中產(chǎn)生了深遠(yuǎn)的影響。前兩本書可能被視為“為什么”，而這本書則占據(jù)了“如何”的重要部分。變得脆弱，真正展示您內(nèi)心的所思所感并學(xué)會以一種實際邀請而非要求或欺騙的方式表達(dá)您渴望的東西，這為開放、清晰、誠實、富有同情心的交流鋪平了道路。
了解如何對身邊的人保持真實的體驗是一種深刻的體驗。這本書可以幫助您。
《非暴力溝通：生命的語言》（Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life）：馬歇爾··B·羅森伯格，阿倫·甘地

Many books have informed me of things I didn't know, but the only one I can think of that's ever really changed my attitudes was Omnivore's Dilemma, by Michael Pollan.

很多書都讓我了解到我不知道的事情，但是我所能想到的唯一一個真正改變了我的態(tài)度的書就是邁克爾·波倫的《雜食動物的困境》。
原創(chuàng)翻譯：龍騰網(wǎng) http://mintwatchbillionaireclub.com 轉(zhuǎn)載請注明出處

It crystallized a lot of inchoate ideas I had about food. I knew that I wanted to get closer to it, but I wasn't sure how or exactly what that meant. I knew in theory that I didn't want to eat an animal without being willing to kill it myself, but I hadn't put together that it was actually possible. I began to buy meat from Joel Salatin himself, then I found a farmer who follows (and improves) on Salatin's methods.
It's not just that, though that's the most in-your-face aspect of it. The whole book really helped me re-think how I eat. I joined a CSA, which I'd never heard of before. I now get my meat from a farmer I know, and I know that the animals are raised in a way I'm comfortable with.
I think that everybody should read this book.

這本書澄清了我對食物的很多模糊想法。我知道我想更接近它，但我不確定如何做到，也不確切知道這意味著什么。在理論上，我知道我不想吃沒有自己愿意親手殺死的動物，但我沒有意識到這實際上是可能的。于是，我開始從喬爾·薩拉廷自己那里買肉，然后我找到了一個農(nóng)夫，他遵循（并改進(jìn)了）薩拉廷的方法。
不僅如此，盡管這是最明顯的方面。整本書真正幫助我重新思考我的飲食方式。我加入了一個“社區(qū)支持的農(nóng)業(yè)”，這是我以前從未聽說過的。現(xiàn)在，我從認(rèn)識的農(nóng)民那里購買肉類，我知道動物是以一種讓我感到舒適的方式養(yǎng)殖的。
我認(rèn)為每個人都應(yīng)該閱讀這本書。

Power of now -
“Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.”
- Eckhart Tolle
My life had been a struggle with a abusive, alcoholistic father being an important role in that. My dad died, and that brought a long period of grief and mixed emotions. I was still young, 18 at the time. It had an very negative impact on my life. In a period where I needed to bounce back I went on a search for self-improvement.
I read great books, I read terrible books. I tried to find a happy career and kept failing. Then I read the power of now.
“Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.”

《當(dāng)下的力量》（Power of Now）- “深刻地認(rèn)識到當(dāng)前時刻是您所擁有的一切。將‘現(xiàn)在’作為您生活的主要關(guān)注點(diǎn)?！?- ?？斯亍ね欣?br /> 我的生活曾經(jīng)是一場與虐待性、酗酒的父親斗爭的過程。我的父親去世了，這引發(fā)了長時間的悲痛和各種各樣的情感。當(dāng)時我還很年輕，只有18歲。這對我的生活產(chǎn)生了非常負(fù)面的影響。在我需要反彈的時期，我開始尋找自我提高的途徑。
我讀了很多好書，也讀了很多不好的書。我試圖找到一個快樂的職業(yè)，但一直失敗。然后我讀了《當(dāng)下的力量》。
“時間根本不是寶貴的，因為它是一種幻覺。您認(rèn)為寶貴的不是時間，而是超越時間的一個點(diǎn)： ‘現(xiàn)在’，這確實是寶貴的。您越專注于時間-過去和未來-您就越會錯過‘現(xiàn)在’，這是最寶貴的東西?！?/b>
