Name:The Little Prince Author:Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Publisher:Mariner Books
A pilot crashes in the Sahara Desert and encounters a strange young boy who calls himself the Little Prince. a pilot tells him the story of how he grew up on a tiny asteroid before travelling across the galaxies and coming to Earth. The Little Prince has traveled there from his home on a lonely, distant asteroid with a single rose. The story that follows is a beautiful and at times heartbreaking meditation on human nature. His encounters and discoveries, seen through childlike, innocent eyes, give rise to candid reflections on life and human nature.
First published in 1943 and featuring the author's own watercolour illustrations, The Little Prince has since become a classic philosophical fable for young and old, as well as a global publishing phenomenon, selling tens of millions of copies worldwide and being translated into dozens of languages.

書名:一個人的療癒:真正的放下,是你不介意再度提起 作者:約翰.詹姆斯/羅素.傅里曼 出版社:大是文化有限公司
《一個人的療癒:真正的放下,是你不介意再度提起》由美國傷心療癒協會創辦人撰寫,有「幫助全球數萬人的最佳療癒著作」之稱。本著作糾正大眾對於安慰說話的謬誤,並提出獨到的療癒方案,助大眾正確走出失落,找到幸福。
面對逆境,大眾普遍以「避開」、「麻醉」、「從時間中找出口」等方法淡化傷痛。而上述方法則會令情況變本加厲,致泥足深陷。故本文提出面對情緒的三個元素——「道歉」、「原諒」、「表白」。事實上,人應該直面傷痛,建議以紙筆誠實回顧傷痛,列出相關的人事關係,畫成失落關係圖。最後,寫一封「沒有地址的信」並唸出來,在信中向別人道歉或向他人表達原諒,做到真正的釋懷。
其次,本著作以不同的方法及例子引導讀者透過圖表整理情緒,與自己和好。同時,讓讀者了解到「說話是一種利器」,覆水難收,故我們應當謹言慎行。期盼我們能夠坦然面對自己的情緒,整理自身,最後學會療癒。
