啟動「生命總開關」
人類將變成有效率的海洋動物
可在水中閉氣長達11分鐘
　　　
       深海彷彿是陸地的顛倒世界
　　海洋裡也有高山、深谷、火山
　　是一個比陸地更黑暗、更讓人驚呼連連的怪奇國度
　　但海洋動物跟我們之間並不是我們想像的那麼不同
　　牠們甚至跟我們共享著類似的遺傳基因
　　鯨豚的「回聲定位」能力猶如人類的「盲視」
　　我們跟鯊魚一樣具有磁感能力
　　人體跟電鰩一樣透過生物電運作
　　自由潛水將我們轉變成能適應巨大水壓的深海動物
　　也是與鯨豚、鯊魚共游時的唯一方式
　　
　　★不借助任何潛水裝備，只憑一口空氣潛入海下一百六十公尺，究竟是神蹟，還是人類與生俱來的潛能？
　　★鯨豚們透過回聲定位可以感知距離七十五公尺遠如米粒般大小的金屬顆粒。
　　★盲人利用「盲視」技巧騎越野單車、慢跑、打籃球、溜直排輪，並感應到三百公尺外的建築物。
　　★留尼旺島的鯊魚為何變得狂暴莫名、攻擊游泳與衝浪客？
　　★將一個一點五伏特的乾電池丟入曼哈頓的哈德遜河中，並用一條電線將這顆電池連接到五百六十公里外的緬因州波特蘭市，鯊魚還能夠偵測到電池的存在。
　　★古代玻里尼西亞的水手究竟是怎麼在開闊的海洋中航行數百公里，卻又始終能找到回家的路？
　　★海豚可以看見周遭動物的肺、胃和大腦。本質上，海豚和其他鯨目動物都具有透視眼。
　　★科學家對植物進行基因改造，使植物在黑暗中能夠發光，希望有一天能夠取代路燈。
　　★在六層樓深的海底實驗室生活十天是怎樣的感受？
　　★抹香鯨發出的聲音脈衝可以傳播達好幾百公里遠，甚至全球範圍內都聽得到。
　　★抹香鯨能在三百多公尺外探測到一隻二十五公分長的魷魚或是在一點六公里遠的人類的存在。
　　★地球生命的起源，可能不是發生在陽光普照的地表，而是從高溫、有著沸騰毒水的海洋深處孕育出來的。
　　★一生都見不到陽光的深海動物完全沒有肌肉與肉體，牠們演化出獨特的凝膠狀皮膚與骨骼，生活在永恆的黑暗中，承受每平方公分七十公斤的水壓。
　　★涉足此前從未在台灣出版過的自由潛水、民間海洋研究領域，展現造物之神奇、海洋的神秘。
 
　　海洋跟我有關嗎？當然有！
　　我們呼吸的氧氣來自海洋
　　食物來自海洋
　　建築材料來自海洋
　　牙膏成分來自海洋
　　手機芯片裡的矽也是來自海洋
　　我們每天都跟海洋發生關係
　　但你跟海熟嗎？
 
　　迄今為止，大部分海洋研究都在船上進行，而作者以一年半時間走訪離經叛道的民間海洋研究者、身懷絕技的自由潛水人、瀕臨消失的日本海女，以賭上性命的勇氣，親身體驗潛入深海八百公尺深，獲得令人震撼的生命體驗，寫進了《深：海洋怪奇物語；自由潛水人、叛逆科學家與我們的海洋手足》書中。在這裡，海洋呈現出如深邃宇宙般令人膽戰心驚的美，而人類則展現出陌生而奇妙的另一種生命形態。
 
　　不得不說，《深：海洋怪奇物語；自由潛水人、叛逆科學家與我們的海洋手足》刷新了讀者對海洋的認知。它帶我們進入了一個聞所未聞，難以想像的世界，而這個世界居然是符合邏輯的！每深入一個章節，我們以往對海洋的了解就又被顛覆一次。
 
　　★海平面十二公尺以下，重力逆轉，會有一雙無形的大手將你向下拖拽。
　　★鯨類動物使用一種比人類高效幾百倍的「全像攝影溝通」方式。
　　★自由潛水會令你進入一種半夢半醒，近乎冥想的狀態。
　　★在幽暗沒有光線到達的世界，是真正的寧靜之地，也是彷彿另一個宇宙般的異次元空間。
　　★在海洋深處，下著沒有止盡的碎屑雪，對這裡的居民而言，沒有過去，也沒有將來。在這裡，人類回到了孕育自己的母體，見證這個星球的起源，以及生命本身是多麼令人心碎的奇妙。
 
　　本書譯者有十年自由潛水經驗，曾翻譯不少的潛水文章，供國內同好閱讀討論。近年台灣自由潛水規模壯大的速度，呈等比級數式的發展，因此，是時候推出一本專書讓內行與外行了解自由潛水的美妙與危險。

A Book For Audio
Format: Audiobook
The Art of Storytelling from Parents to Professionals is the first book that I can be confident in saying is better as an audio version than it would be in a paper or Kindle form because you can here the verbal inflections and the storytellers can change character, voice much easier than the printed word might. It also captures the listeners attention as the author herself can connect in a lot more personal and intimate way. My concern is while I can understand what the author is getting at, I am not aspiring to be an oral performance style storyteller and there was not enough of a reach out from the world of oral storytelling to the written story. I mean how many of us are going to get up on stage and tell stories? I guess you can take the skills from one realm and use them elsewhere, but the connection may not be made so easily. This was an audiobook that I had a lot of fun with, even if I didn’t quite get what I was hoping for from it.

Great Overview of the Art of Storytelling
Format: Audiobook
I chanced on this as an Audible "freebie" to keep on the list for when I was out of credits. Well, it's excellent, and well worth the listen. And excellent survey of the topic spanning topics of performance (preparing, voice, body language, projection), various aspects of framing (culture, age, ethnicity, audience size), story structure and so on This point is for Hannah B. Harvey, if perchance she reads tese reviews. One point of modern storytelling and writing that is not brought out in your lectures, is that some of the best villain/antagonists are actually the heroes/protagonists of their own stories. This is tangentially alluded to in talking about story viewpoints, but not to the extent that it can be an entirely new story, as Wicked and Maleificent turned The Wizard of Oz and Sleeping Beauty on their heads. And even in the 1960's, many a Bond 007 villain was trying to create what they imagined to be a better world. It's useful to consider in storytelling, as far too many people have forgotten/fail to see the fundamental moral ambiguities of life, and I suspect that goes a long way to explaining the extreme partisanship we see in the world today.

Sadly, I found the tips and the examples in this lecture to be very simplistic and uninspiring.
Format: Audiobook
I expected a professional storyteller to be able to keep my interest but I found the presentation to be quite boring. I got nothing out of it that I didn’t already know from just being an avid reader. It felt like a high school lecture. Sigh!!

Great course on how to improve your storytelling abilities
Format: Audiobook
Storytelling is a great way to get a point across, and most of us digest information through stories. But when it comes time to tell a story, most of us don't have the skills to make the story engaging or impactful. That's where this course on storytelling comes in. You'll get good pointers on vocabulary, body language, tone, along with deeper pointers about how to shape the view of the story and how to refine its characters. It's all very detailed but it's all very interesting and well worth it. This course will help you see how useful storytelling can be in your personal and professional life, especially if you're in a field where you have to do a lot of public speaking.
