The world as a reference answer

★ Have you learned so much, yet feel increasingly detached from the real world?
Have you seen so much scenery, yet still can't find that true "home" where your spirit can settle?
In an era where we're not allowed to stop, how do we find a third option between certainty and openness?
★ There are no standard answers in life; the world is the answer key!
Liu Qing, a popular mentor from "Qipa Shuo," converses with Tsinghua sociologist Yan Fei, helping you find a third option between "hustling" and "lying flat." An essential anti-internal friction guide for contemporary East Asian youth, highly recommended by Kevin Tsai, Ma Dong, Li Dan, Leung Man-tao, Chen Luyu, and Luo Xiang!
★ The intellectual power of two top scholars, eight profoundly insightful and therapeutic conversations, a "book of answers" for all anxious individuals.
"When you can't determine your direction, do what is worth doing in all eras." This book helps you better settle yourself in an era of internal friction. There's no need to long for the past, nor to overly pin your hopes on the future. People construct themselves through their experiences and narratives. Go discover what is most valuable and worthwhile for you; that will surely be a form of growth, leading to a stronger and richer cultivation of the soul.

☆ This book invites two top scholars who engaged in eight sincere, intellectually stimulating conversations at Harvard University, a world-class institution. Covering topics such as education, travel, nostalgia, and pain, it offers a required course for contemporary individuals to find self-affirmation, embarking on a journey of self-discovery, and guiding us on how to re-establish our anchors in an unmoored era.
☆ The two authors combine numerous elements from history, nature, technology, culture, politics, philosophy, and sociology. Through dialogues and inquiries into major issues concerning humanity and the world, they interpret social development and complexity, analyze the dilemmas of the era and of oneself, and reflect on our situation and our understanding and recognition of ourselves. They provide a third possibility for modern people, caught between certainty and openness, who are at a loss for what to do, inspiring us to explore ourselves and the world from a new perspective, and to better engage in reflective and critical thinking about ourselves.
