内容简介:
In his earlier bestsellers Guns, Germs and Steel and Collapse, Jared Diamond transformed our understanding of what makes civilizations rise and fall. Now, in the final book in this monumental trilogy, he reveals how successful nations recover from crisis through selective change — a coping mechanism more commonly associated with personal trauma.
In a dazzling comparative study, Diamond shows us how seven countries have survived defining upheavals in the recent past — from US Commodore Perry’s arrival in Japan to the Soviet invasion of Finland to Pinochet’s regime in Chile — through a process of painful self-appraisal and adaptation, and he identifies patterns in the way that these distinct nations recovered from calamity. Looking ahead to the future, he investigates whether the United States, and the world, are squandering their natural advantages, on a path towards political conflict and decline. Or can we still learn from the lessons of the past?
Adding a psychological dimension to the awe-inspiring grasp of history, geography, economics, and anthropology that marks all Diamond’s work, Upheaval reveals how both nations and individuals can become more resilient. The result is a book that is epic, urgent, and groundbreaking.

原文摘录:
6. 自我力量。有一个对解决危机很重要且因人而异的要素，被心理学家称为“自我力量”。自我力量包含自信，却又比自信的范围要广得多。自我力量意味着人作为一个独立、自信的个体，无须寻求他人的认可，也不依赖他人而存活，拥有对自我和对目标的认知，并且接受真实的自己。自我力量包括能够面对强烈的情感，在压力下保持镇定，自由表达自己的观点，准确认识现实，以及做出稳妥决定的能力。这些互相关联的品质对于人们探索新的解决方法，克服通常在危机中产生的无力感和恐惧是至关重要的。自我力量从人的童年时期开始产生，尤其受到父母的影响。对孩子本身的接受度高，不把自己的愿望强加在孩子的身上，不强求孩子早熟，也不要求他们一直扮演自己怀中的稚儿，帮助孩子学会如何应对挫折，对待孩子并非有求必应，但也不是所有的要求都不满足，这样的父母会使孩子具有更高的自我强度，从而使其更好地应对危机。 (查看原文)

经验还告诉我们，一个小国丝毫没有把外交政策方案和情感混为一谈的余地，无论是正面的还是负面的情感。一项切合实际的外交政策应当基于对国际政治关键要素的认知，包括国家利益以及国与国之间关系的影响。 (查看原文)
