40岁前你应该读的20本英文书

benefit

书籍是人类的精神食粮，信息、娱乐、智慧与想象都可以包含在一叠叠的纸张中。但书籍有千千万万，哪些是我们最该读的呢？以下的20本是一个很好的开始，特别是最后一本。

【20 Books Everyone Should Read Before Age 40】

Books are wonderful things. Information, entertainment, wisdom and imagination all wrapped up in a nice little bundle of pages… or an electronic file as the case may be.

But there are so many. Millions actually, so the question becomes, “What are the must reads?”, especially in the first half of your life when you’re trying to do so much and seeking all that life has to offer so diligently. I’ll start by saying that there are so many books that could have made my list, but I suspect that you, like me, read many of those throughout your educational years. Still, it might be worth another read through of some of the classics.

【My list of 20 must-read books】

(In no particular order, some classic, and some modern)

  【结束语】

  Your chosen book on your spiritual path or philosophical leanings –

  A must, and probably should have been listed first. Whether it’s the Bible, Tao Te Ching, Bhagavad Gita, works by Plato, Aristotle, or one of the many spiritual books out there, whatever book helps you to understand your place in the larger picture of life, that gives you purpose and meaning, may be the most important book you ever read.

  《能量全开》或《全力以赴》内容简介：

  管理精力，而非时间，是保持高效和重塑自我的关键。我们生活在一个疯狂加速的时代，每天都匆匆忙忙，奔波不止。时间，被切割成“比特”和“字节”。注意力，被无数待办事宜所占据。我们追求广度而非深度，倾向于迅速反应而非慎重思考。我们浮光掠影地停留在事务的表面，在很多地方蜻蜓点水，却很少真正投注心力。

  每个人都希望自己能够精神百倍、全情投入，然而当工作和生活的重担超出我们的能力时，我们不得不采取权宜之计，仓促行事。久而久之，对我们的生活产生不良影响。我们严重缺觉，在上班途中胡乱塞下各种垃圾食品，我们靠咖啡提神，靠酒精和安眠药安抚紧绷的神经。面对无休止的工作，我们变得脾气暴躁，容易分神。在筋疲力尽的工作之后我们回到家中。家人却并没有成为我们快乐和充电的源泉，更多的是重重重荷下的另一座大山。

  【The Notebook】 《恋恋笔记本》by Nicholas Sparks

  This is more than a simple story of love, lost and found—it’s one about the choices we make and the hardships we face. Whether you feel it’s a love story or a tragedy, it’s about a journey to happiness and ultimately deciding what or who is important to us in life.
