作者简介

Simon Amstell is a comedian, screenwriter and director. He wrote and directed the film Carnage, wrote and starred in the television series Grandma’s House, and his past stand-up tours include To Be Free, Numb, Do Nothing and What is This? He also hosted some popular television programmes but is now too pretentious to list them here.
In the moment, it made complete sense and rsolved everything- the self is a construct, the body is a vessel for some kind of conciuousness to experience itself for some reason, or no reaseon. M y face, my personality, my name, anything to do with me is not who I am. The reality of 'me' is something within or underneath or beyond all of that silliness. (查看原文)
And when I am anxious, depressed or lonely, it is a transit bit of nonsensem covering the truth of what I actually am - the beyong- words thing that is actually me.
I wasn't broken any more. Ayahuasca got to the core of how my identity was constructed. I found a strength i didn't know I had. When I feel sad now, I know it's not because I'm a broken human being, it's because it is one of the emotions that human being feel. (查看原文)

This is so strange to me now because that vulnerable eighteen-year-old boy, even to this day, is my type. I wish I'd been there for me.”

本来企图把这本书当成治愈的圣经一样，但可能实在比不上Simon的聪明，一些智慧只能在读的过程中才能体会到；但就像秘鲁的Ayhuasca，也不是瞬时的魔法，回到人类社会中也需要时不时地重温，以后也需要经常重读。但至少Simon提供了希望，很开心看到他现在很快乐。 全书最感触的地方一个是与年轻的Freddie的对话，一个是与年轻的Simon的对话。
