＂Baltimore Sun＂ 41308＂The slim book by Columbia-based
psychiatrist Gordon Livingston has been a source of inspiration for
many.＂
內容簡介：
After service in Vietnam, as a surgeon for the 11th Armored
Cavalry Regiment in 1968-69, at the height of the war, Dr. Gordon
Livingston returned to the U. S. and began work as a psychiatrist.
In that capacity, he has listened to people talk about their
lives-what works, what doesnt, and the limitless ways many of them
self-inflicted that people find to be unhappy. He is also a parent
twice bereaved; in one thirteen-month period, he lost his eldest
son to suicide, his youngest to leukemia. Out of a lifetime of
experience, Gordon Livingston has extracted thirty bedrock truths:
We are what we do. Any relationship is under the control of the
person who cares the least. The perfect is the enemy of the good.
Only bad things happen quickly. Forgiveness is a form of letting
go, but they are not the same thing. The statute of limitations has
expired on most of our childhood traumas. Livingston illuminates
these and twenty-four others in a series of carefully hewn,
perfectly calibrated essays, many of which focus on our closest
relationships and the things that we do to impede or, less
frequently, enhance them. Again and again, these essays underscore
that we are what we do, and that while there may be no escaping who
we are, we have the capacity to face loss, misfortune, and regret
and to move beyond them-that it is not too late. Full of things we
may know but have not articulated to ourselves, Too Soon Old, Too
Late Smart offers solace, guidance, and hope to everyone ready to
become the person theyd most like to be.
