壓力能帶來正面能量？科學實證：這是真的！ 重點不是擺脫壓力，而是你對待壓力的態度，本書教你如何借力使力，成就更強大的自己。 ★全球熱賣1,500,000本，《輕鬆駕馭意志力》史丹佛人氣心理學家最新著作。 ★TED千萬人次點閱率，〈如何讓壓力成為你的朋友〉演講之深度專書。   你以為的常識即將崩壞：壓力對你沒有這麼不好！ 本書根據最新的科學實證，揭開「超越困難，就會更強大」的重大祕密！只有把壓力看做壞東西的時候，壓力才會對你有害。 史丹佛最受歡迎心理學家暨最高榮譽教學獎得主凱莉‧麥高尼格，全面顛覆你對壓力的想像，探討心理韌性（在壓力中成長）與思維模式（面對現實的正念能量）的連結，帶領讀者看見壓力的光明面、如何善加利用壓力帶來的好處，以及壓力可以激發同理心，讓我們成為更好的人。重點是，你如何看待壓力，將決定你人生的精采度。 只要改變對壓力的態度，結果就會跟著改變： ▍如何改善工作帶來的倦怠感？ A：請想想你的工作對公司或社會有何貢獻？重新定位你認定的工作意義，試著產生認同感，保護你不陷入工作倦怠之中。 ▍壓力能進化身體能量？ A：關鍵在於你如何看待壓力，將壓力視為威脅會讓血管收縮，身體增強發炎反應，感到恐懼憤怒；若是以迎接挑戰的心態，身體會安心地擴大血液流量，以提供最大的能量，感到興奮、熱忱、充滿信心。 ▍考試、演講、簡報之前心跳加速是好現象？ A：緊張感其實是「你正準備大展拳腳」的證據，與其讓自己冷靜，不如透過深呼吸去感受身體的滿滿能量，能夠將焦慮將轉為力量，發揮最佳表現。 ▍如何面對生病、手術、化療、等待檢驗結果的壓力？ A：請想像此刻有許多人同樣承受著痛苦或壓力，讓自己對那些人產生同理心，充分理解他們的感受，藉此提醒自己不是孤軍奮戰。 ▍失去親人、感到孤立無援和龐大壓力時，該怎麼辦？ A：請允許自己「既勇敢又脆弱」，主動踏出第一步，以自身的痛苦做為連結點，將關注的焦點轉到別人身上，能得到更多支持的力量。   【各界推薦】 心理諮商師　許皓宜、超馬選手　陳彥博 多年來，我一直以「有壓力，更有勁」等相關議題發表公開演說，希望改變大眾對壓力的看法。當我受邀為本書寫序，才看兩頁就覺得：「Yes！這才是正確看待壓力的態度！」壓力不一定會提高死亡風險，只有以「負面心態」面對壓力才會。光想著逃避壓力是不切實際的，壓力並不會因為你選擇逃避而減少，從某個層面來看，舒壓或減壓效果也不大。管理壓力的最佳方法並不是盡可能減輕或避免壓力，而是重新思考壓力的作用，甚至積極擁抱壓力。 ──精神科醫師　林耕新 如果你可以站在更高、更寬廣的視野來看待壓力，了解壓力其實是成長進步的動力，了解焦慮其實是身體正在給予自己更多的能量，了解當緊張感出現只是表示自己很在乎這件事情，那麼我們就有機會採取比較好的方式來回應種種壓力。若視為威脅將會導致對立、抵禦、防衛或攻擊，若視為挑戰將帶來合作、興奮、期待與成長。可見思維模式的影響無影無形，卻也無所不在，確實非常需要，也值得花時間來自我審視。 ──華人正念減壓中心創辦人　胡君梅 「只有爆炸性的壓力，才有爆炸性的進步。」這句話是我從小的座右銘，總是在我面臨巨大的壓力和挑戰時，給我強大、堅韌的力量。有很多人對壓力抱持負面的觀點，我卻認為壓力是我挺進的動力，而這本書正是揭開了我多年來的疑惑。原來，壓力本身可以是正面，也可以是負面，一切取決於你「看待壓力的觀點」。這本書教導我們如何改變思維模式來看待壓力，如何與生命意義產生連結，進而質變壓力成為我們成長的動力。我相信這本書可以為無數讀者帶來生命的正向改變，我願意推薦給大家。 ──律師／作家　許峰源 我們一生中一定會因為遭逢若干事件而承受巨大壓力，例如配偶死亡、離婚、親人死亡、結婚、被開除、退休、懷孕等。如果我們逃避這些壓力，將會製造更多壓力來源，而且也將耗盡原本支持你的種種資源，作者教我們一個觀念──只有當你認為壓力有害時，壓力才會對你真正有害。本書告訴我們透過思考自身的價值觀，改變對生活壓力的看法，這就是解方。 ──醫師　楊斯棓 本書傳達一個重要的事實：與其一味逃避壓力，不如積極尋求壓力背後的意義。本書提出的觀點能幫助你提起勇氣去追尋人生最重要的事物，並相信自己能應付隨之而來的壓力。 ──美國矽谷盧比肯顧問公司創辦人暨執行長　妮羅芙‧莫茜 作者揭露許多頂尖人物和優秀組織（例如我的海豹部隊弟兄們）如何成功突破困境。在艱困的環境下，唯有以正面的心態擁抱各種挑戰，才能達到不凡的成就。 ──前美國海軍海豹部隊成員暨海軍軍官　史考特‧布拉爾 本書的一大特點在於作者不只指出我們過去對壓力的錯誤認知，還提出正確的見解，讓你的人生變得更好。這是一本易讀的使用者指南，援引心理學和神經科學最先進的研究成果，幫助你提升身心健康。 ──美國加州大學洛杉磯分校社會認知神經科學實驗室主任　馬修‧利柏曼博士 其實壓力是人生不可或缺的成分，發現這個秘密後，任何人都能大幅提升自信，組織團體也會快速成長。 ──知識投資合夥公司董事長　羅伯特‧道赫第 作者打破關於壓力數十年來的迷思，這是一本以科學研究為基礎的實用好書，說服力十足，從第一頁起便見解不凡。本書的重要概念將改變無數人的生命。 ──卓越表現培訓學院共同創辦人　吉姆‧洛爾教育博士   【作者簡介】 凱莉‧麥高尼格　Kelly...
