The Overloaded Liberal 在线下载 pdf mobi 2025 epub 电子版

We live in a society that is at once the most politically aware and the most consumer oriented in human history. Twenty-first-century shoppers don't just consume; we investigate and categorize the impact of our decisions on climate change, animals, our health, our political views, geopolitical relationships, working conditions, and more. Yet when we actually try to live according to our principles, it can be so overwhelming, contradictory, and demanding that we want to scream. Every step, every dollar, every swipe of a paper towel has become a decision that can make the world a better—or worse—place.

Take one daily dilemma: what jacket should I buy? If it was made in El Salvador, China, or Vietnam, was it sewn by workers in a sweatshop at near-starvation wages, forced to labor twenty-hour days in dangerous conditions? Are those jobs actually considered desirable in those countries? Can I even find a jacket made in the United States? If I do, should I insist on union-made? But what if that's more expensive? And what fabric is it made of? Does it contain animal skins? Is the cotton organic? What kind of dyes were used? Does it have fair-trade certification? Oh, and by the way: does it look good on me?

Veteran journalist and levelheaded mom Fran Hawthorne sets out to answer these questions—and spark more. En route, she interviews activists and ordinary consumers alike, including officials from PETA, the AFL-CIO, the Sierra Club, an organization of "EcoMoms," and the rabbinical group that has redefined kosher. She learns from ethicists, psychologists, Wall Street analysts, child-rearing experts, and policy wonks, while examining everything from Barack Obama's union-made inaugural ball tuxedo to the conundrum of how electric cars might obtain their electricity. And she delves into socially responsible investing at a moment when the wheels have come off the economy. Her odyssey will be all-too familiar and often funny for consumers who have thrown up their hands and wondered, "What's a good liberal to do?"

  一本很好看的八卦书

• 作者：smile 发布时间：2016-05-02 22:23:35

  生命和美名能够两全的人非常罕见，而先欢笑后痛哭的人却比比皆是。担心盛极而衰带来的悔恨，却又不能消除贪图荣华富贵的欲望；害怕别人的诋毁与羞辱，却又不能排除争名夺利的情欲，这也就好像讨厌潮湿却到深渊里游泳，憎恶影子但不愿进入背阴之处一样。

  肚子依赖河流就能够吃饱，身子栖息一枝就能够十分安适，众多的万物，在心目中都如同尘土。吃着粥饭，穿着短衣旧袍，心志淡泊纵情随意，没有忧伤也没有欢喜，就是尊贵和快乐，明白了这一点，就没有什么东西可以放在心上了。古人有“一谦而四益”的说法：天道亏盈而益谦，地道变盈而流谦，鬼神害盈而福谦，人道恶盈而好谦。(周易谦卦)只要做到谦虚，天、地、鬼神、人都会来帮助你、福佑你。

  永远满足的人，幸福就会来到他的身边；不懂得满足的人，灾难就会聚集在他的身上。

  全书充满了投机取巧。

  有道无术道尚可求，有术无道而止于术。全书充斥着钻营两个字。作者把峰值理论运用的很好，有吸引力的开头，最后再放一个脑图。可中间的内容，太空洞了。单纯的看这本书，就是有些误人子弟了。

  任何一个话题，能够表述清楚。是有这足够的见识。而不是去复制别人的爆款，当然不排偶然因素能够火爆，但是别人以为你是干货，结果见面聊天或者直播，一看就是水货。

  虚当然要有，不过实也不能太差吧。静下心来，踏踏实实。才是正儿八经的。
