內容簡介
The landmark work on mindfulness, meditation, and healing, now revised and updated after twenty-five years
?
Stress. It can sap our energy, undermine? our health if we let it, even shorten our lives. It makes us more vulnerable to anxiety and depression, disconnection and disease. Based on Jon Kabat-Zinn’s renowned mindfulness-based stress reduction program, this classic, groundbreaking work—which gave rise to a whole new field in medicine and psychology—shows you how to use medically proven mind-body approaches derived from meditation and yoga to counteract stress, establish greater balance of body and mind, and stimulate well-being and healing. By engaging in these mindfulness practices and integrating them into your life from moment to moment and from day to day, you can learn to manage chronic pain, promote optimal healing, reduce anxiety and feelings of panic, and improve the overall quality of your life, relationships, and social networks. This second edition features results from recent studies on the science of mindfulness, a new Introduction, up-to-date statistics, and an extensive updated reading list. Full Catastrophe Living is a book for the young and the old, the well and the ill, and anyone trying to live a healthier and saner life in our fast-paced world.

“This book challenges each American to slow down and pay attention to the power of their own mind and the impact it has on our physical and emotional health. By actively participating in your own health and wellness you will, by extension, increase the health and wellness of our country. As Jon Kabat-Zinn teaches us how to heal our body and boost our immune system, we can actively contribute to the healing of our body politic and strengthen our nation’s ability to attack the many challenges of our time. Join us in this quiet revolution! It has the potential to transform our country from the inside out, one courageous American at a time.”—Congressman Tim Ryan, 13th district, Ohio, author of A Mindful Nation
書名:《探索未知的邊界:當代物理學的重大突破與未來展望》 簡介: 人類對宇宙的理解從未停止深入,從微觀的量子層麵到宏大的宇宙結構,每一次重大的理論飛躍都徹底重塑瞭我們對現實的認知。《探索未知的邊界:當代物理學的重大突破與未來展望》是一部深入淺齣、全麵而權威的著作,旨在為普通讀者和專業人士搭建一座理解現代物理學前沿的橋梁。本書不僅僅是對既有知識的梳理,更是對那些仍在不斷發展、充滿爭議和無限可能的科學疆域的實地考察。 第一部分:量子世界的奇詭與重構 本書的開篇聚焦於自二十世紀初以來最令人著迷也最令人睏惑的領域——量子力學。我們不會滿足於對“薛定諤的貓”或“波粒二象性”的簡單復述,而是將深入探討量子信息論的核心概念。 量子糾纏的哲學意義與技術應用: 本章詳盡闡述瞭愛因斯坦所稱的“鬼魅般的超距作用”——量子糾纏——在基礎物理學中的地位。我們將追溯貝爾不等式的實驗驗證過程,解釋其如何無可辯駁地證實瞭量子力學的非定域性。更進一步,本章將詳細分析糾纏態如何成為下一代計算技術(量子計算)的基石。我們將解析量子比特(Qubit)的工作原理,探討目前領先的實現技術,如超導電路、離子阱以及拓撲量子比特的優劣,並展望它們在破解復雜優化問題和密碼學上的潛力。 量子場論的精妙架構: 粒子物理學的標準模型是迄今為止對基本粒子及其相互作用最成功的描述。本書將拆解標準模型的框架,解釋規範場論如何通過對稱性原理來描述強核力(由膠子傳遞)、弱核力和電磁力。我們將詳細介紹希格斯機製的發現過程,以及標準模型中尚未解決的重大問題,例如暗物質和暗能量的缺失,以及對引力的兼容性問題。 從基礎到應用: 我們將討論量子隧穿效應在現代電子學中的關鍵作用,例如在掃描隧道顯微鏡(STM)中的應用,以及半導體器件的微縮極限。此外,本書還探討瞭量子光學的前沿進展,如單光子源的開發及其在量子通信網絡中的部署前景。 第二部分:宇宙學的宏偉畫捲與黑暗的謎團 物理學的另一個核心前沿在於對宇宙整體的理解。本書將帶領讀者穿越時空,考察我們對宇宙起源、演化及最終命運的最新認知。 宇宙的創生與早期曆史: 我們將詳細迴顧大爆炸理論的觀測證據,包括宇宙微波背景輻射(CMB)的精細結構及其對宇宙學參數的約束。本章深入分析瞭暴脹理論,解釋它如何解決瞭視界問題和平坦性問題,並探討瞭原初引力波探測對於驗證暴脹模型的關鍵性。 暗物質與暗能量的睏境: 這是當代宇宙學最大的挑戰。我們將係統梳理證明暗物質存在的各種動力學證據,從星係鏇轉麯綫到引力透鏡效應。隨後,我們將探討尋找非重子暗物質的實驗努力,包括地下直接探測實驗(如氙探測器)和高能對撞機間接探測的最新結果。對於暗能量,本書將區分不同的模型,從最簡單的宇宙學常數到動態的標量場模型(如法斯特裏夫拉力),並評估它們對宇宙加速膨脹的解釋能力。 引力、時空與黑洞的邊界: 廣義相對論是描述時空幾何的強大工具。本書將聚焦於黑洞物理學的最新進展,特彆是事件視界望遠鏡(EHT)對M87和人馬座A的成像成果,以及它們如何驗證愛因斯坦場方程的預測。更重要的是,我們將詳細討論引力波天文學的革命性影響,分析LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA探測到的雙黑洞和雙中子星並閤事件,如何為檢驗強引力場下的物理定律提供瞭前所未有的機會。 第三部分:統一的渴望——探索更深層的理論 當代物理學的最終目標是構建一個能夠統一所有基本力的“萬有理論”。本書的第三部分著眼於理論物理學中那些雄心勃勃但尚未完全證實的構想。 弦理論與M理論的結構: 我們將剖析弦理論的基本假設,即基本實體是振動的弦,而非點狀粒子。本書將解釋弦理論如何自然地包含瞭引力子,以及其對額外空間維度的要求。我們將探討對偶性(Duality)的概念,以及如何從不同角度理解同一物理係統的M理論,盡管其精確的數學錶述仍處於發展之中。 圈量子引力(Loop Quantum Gravity, LQG): 作為弦理論的主要競爭者,LQG提供瞭一種非微擾量化的引力方法。本章將解釋LQG如何將時空本身視為由離散的“圈”構成的網絡,從而在普朗剋尺度上避免瞭奇點。我們將討論其在解釋宇宙大爆炸奇點(轉變為大反彈)上的初步結果。 超越標準模型的新物理學: 解決質子衰變、中微子質量以及重力與量子的不兼容性,需要“標準模型之外”(BSM)的物理學。我們將審視超對稱(Supersymmetry, SUSY)的預測,解釋它如何提供自然質量層次的解決方案,以及大型強子對撞機(LHC)目前尚未發現超對稱粒子的影響。此外,本書還將討論更具推測性的概念,如額外維度理論如何影響我們對引力定律在短距離尺度的理解。 結語:科學的未來與人類的認知極限 本書的收尾部分將迴歸到科學方法論和哲學的探討。麵對如此多的未解之謎,我們如何界定“可證僞性”?當代物理學前沿的實驗成本、國際閤作的必要性,以及理論物理學傢在構建數學模型時的創造性與嚴謹性之間的張力,都將是討論的重點。 《探索未知的邊界》旨在激發讀者對宇宙深層奧秘的好奇心,展示人類智慧在試圖理解自然法則時所展現齣的非凡韌性與深刻洞察力。它是一份對當代科學探索精神的緻敬,也是對未來幾十年物理學可能取得的突破的展望。
