Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself. Our lives are a never-ending stream of "when" decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork.

Timing, it's often assumed, is an art. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Pink shows that timing is really a science.

Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology, biology, and economics, Pink reveals how best to live, work, and succeed. How can we use the hidden patterns of the day to build the ideal schedule? Why do certain breaks dramatically improve student test scores? How can we turn a stumbling beginning into a fresh start? Why should we avoid going to the hospital in the afternoon? Why is singing in time with other people as good for you as exercise? And what is the ideal time to quit a job, switch careers, or get married?

In When, Pink distills cutting-edge research and data on timing and synthesizes them into a fascinating, readable narrative packed with irresistible stories and practical takeaways that give readers compelling insights into how we can live richer, more engaged lives.

What really causes depression and anxiety - and how can we really solve them? Award-winning journalist Johann Hari suffered from depression since he was a child and started taking anti-depressants when he was a teenager. He was told that his problems were caused by a chemical imbalance in his brain. As an adult, trained in the social sciences, he began to investigate whether this was true – and he learned that almost everything we have been told about depression and anxiety is wrong.

Across the world, Hari found social scientists who were uncovering evidence that depression and anxiety are not caused by a chemical imbalance in our brains. In fact, they are largely caused by key problems with the way we live today. Hari´s journey took him from a mind-blowing series of experiments in Baltimore to an Amish community in Indiana, to an uprising in Berlin. Once he had uncovered nine real causes of depression and anxiety, they led him to scientists who are discovering seven very different solutions – ones that work.

我一生都在探索、分析、重建我自己，

但現在才瞭解，在我內心深處有一泓我永遠都處理不了的淚水......

──歐文‧亞隆，85歲

當代知名存在主義心理學者歐文‧亞隆回首自己的一生，固然有數不盡的甜美、榮耀、精彩，但這位拉拔無數徬徨心靈的治療師，卻也有難解的悔恨、遺憾、無助與恐懼。

這一切，都如實記錄在這本溫暖的回憶錄裡。

生長在貧窮的猶太社區，亞隆努力掙脫環境枷鎖，一步步走上助人專業之路。他開創了團體心理治療的新視野，勤於探索生命存在的本質，並將之融入心理治療，以其獨特的風格扶助病人探問生死，更將診間風景化為一部部膾炙人口的散文與小說。

這本回憶錄見證了亞隆思想與作品誕生的過程。讓我們看見一個時代的縮影、一個移民家庭的愛恨與夢想，以及一段心理治療發展史的吉光片羽。他一貫的真摯，不管是對父母的遺憾、對妻子的愛戀、對親友的思念、對死亡的恐懼，以及尷尬的旅行經驗、後悔寫下的小說......在在令人動容。他那不畏困窘的分享，彷彿散盡人生最後的力量，也要以一己生命能量照亮眾人。亞隆一生所療癒的不單單是診間的病人，還有遍布全世界的讀者。他說：「我每天收到的信件提醒我，遙遠的國度有一個人，我對他是有幫助的。」

這一次，亞隆將書寫對象轉向他自己，記錄下他「成為自己」的歷程。對讀者而言，亞隆對生命與專業的反思是一種邀請，邀請你我跟著他的步伐探索自己人生的意義。

在看这本书之前，请先想想你自己的生活。请问你是否很容易因为一些无关紧要的小事而发脾气？如果排队时突然有人插队，你是否会觉得很生气？你是否一觉得饥饿或不安就立刻去找吃的？你是否无法自控地查看短信，或想着永远也做不完的一堆事情，搞得自己身心俱疲，甚至几乎崩溃？

在一个物质享受越来越多的世界中，我们的急躁、不适、焦虑和抑郁也越来越严重。世界为我们提供了联络工具，却导致了一个悖论，即我们在技术上与外界建立了超强的联络，却日益疏远了我们的内心世界。

而我们在生活中应对挑战的方式可能会诱发一些非常严重的健康问题。这些很多都是人类过于敏感的生存本能导致的。人类的生存本能与生俱来，那些在瞬间完成的生存反应力量强大，对我们的身体健康状态、行为模式、自我表现方式、逆境处理模式、决策模式以及老化过程都具有很大影响。生存本能的主导，可能会导致我们陷入一些不良的行为模式，从而对人体健康产生毁灭性的影响。但这些并非不可改变，通过引导人体体验新的刺激，可以帮助它形成全新的、正常的神经网络，我们也能由此重获平和与安全感。

对于那些疲于应对现代生活、想在为时未晚之际找到解决办法的人而言，本书不容错过。
