Подарил себе на Новый год книгу "Transforming Your Self" Steve Andreas на английском языке.
От чтения получаю истинное удовольствие. Чего стоит одна только "Благодарность", где вместо обычного "всем поименное спасибо, без вас вообще ничего бы не было" - милая метафора на тему Я-концепции!
Под катом - текст метафоры с выделенным мной восхитительным внушением:
Acknowledgement
When I have thought of whom to acknowledge for their help in developing what is presented in this book, and for creating the book itself, I have always gotten stuck between my first thought, "Where should I start?" and the next, "Where should I end?"
So many people have contributed to this work, and the life that it arises out of, that it would take another book to list them all!
Over a period of more than two-thirds of a century, many have contributed to my life and work: from parents, teachers, friends, family members, mentors, children, workshop participants, and the beauty of art and science and nature... to chance encounters with strangers, stray comments, books and newspapers, TV shows, and so many other events that have had a part in shaping my life.
Who could say which were more important in weaving that intersection of circumstance that I call "myself—who to include and who to leave out?
What a privilege to live here at this nexus of events—like a small wave that briefly emerges from the ocean, and then as quickly rejoins it! Tears of gratitude at the thought.
So I have decided to keep it simple.
Most of you know who you are; I thank you all. You have all been part of this brief journey, and you have all become a part of who I am. Again, many thanks.
Как вам это? :)
Хотелось бы помимо удовольствия от чтения хорошей книги вместе с единомышленниками поделать упражнения из книги! Предлагаю питерской группе провести несколько встреч на этом материале.
