书籍简介

“应对现代心理健康危机的良方”——蒂姆·斯佩克特教授

“华莱士对我们看重的事物有着深刻的理解——而她的书则向我们展示了如何找到它。”——亚当·格兰特

“文笔优美，情感真挚。”——苏珊·凯恩

屡获殊荣的作家詹妮弗·布雷尼·华莱士，以深刻的视角探讨了如何重建人际关系中的亲密感，以及联结感——即“重要性”——如何为我们的生活带来意义和幸福。

在这个孤独、倦怠和人际疏离已达危机程度的世界里，詹妮弗·布雷尼·华莱士提供了一个变革性的解决方案：重要性。通过生动的故事和突破性的研究，《重要性：构建意义与联结人生的秘诀》揭示了被关注、被需要和被重视的感觉并非锦上添花，而是关乎我们身心健康和社会未来的根本。

本书充满了发现“重要性”力量的个人故事，从一位消防队长如何通过帮助疲惫不堪的团队认识到自身工作的长远影响而重振士气，到一位女性如何将悲痛转化为一场运动，帮助成千上万人重建生活，华莱士展现了如何在生活的各个领域培养“重要性”。她指出，当人们感到自己真正重要——他们的存在和贡献被注意到、被需要，并且当他们不在场时会被怀念——一切都会改变。生产力飙升，人际关系加深，社区更加强大。

华莱士以引人入胜的研究和对那些发现“重要性”力量的人们的生动刻画为基础，为创造更有意义、更紧密联系的生活提供了切实可行的蓝图。她揭示了：

小小的认可之举如何改变职场文化，预防职业倦怠

为什么帮助他人往往能让我们充满活力，而非消耗精力

如何构建“意义空间”，促进社区中真正的联结

如何在人生转折点中保持使命感

本书恰逢其时，为布琳·布朗和亚当·格兰特的读者提供了希望和切实可行的解决方案，以应对我们当今社会的人际关系疏离危机。《意义空间》并非又一本自助指南，而是一个革命性的框架，旨在重建赋予生活意义的联结，并创造积极的改变，这种改变将从我们自身向外扩散，惠及我们的人际关系、工作场所和社区。华莱士以清晰而充满同情心的语言向我们展示，应对当今社会孤立危机的良方并非向内寻求，而是认识到我们彼此的重要性。本书将彻底改变你对自身在他人生活中所扮演角色的思考，并为你指明一条通往更紧密联结、更有意义的人生的道路。

Summary Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Purpose and Connection

‘The perfect antidote to our modern mental health epidemic’ PROFESSOR TIM SPECTOR

‘Wallace has a deep understanding of what matters most to us – and her book shows us how to find it’ ADAM GRANT

‘Beautifully written and deeply felt’ SUSAN CAIN

From award-winning writer Jennifer Breheny Wallace, a deeply consequential look at restoring closeness in our relationships and how feeling connected – mattering – can bring purpose and happiness to our lives.

In a world where loneliness, burnout, and disconnection have reached crisis levels, Jennifer Breheny Wallace offers a transformative solution: mattering. Through vivid storytelling and groundbreaking research, Mattering: The Secret to Building a Life of Deep Purpose and Connection reveals how feeling seen, needed, and valued isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential for our wellbeing and society’s future.

Filled with stories of individuals who have discovered the power of mattering, from the story of a fire chief who re-energized his emotionally exhausted team by helping them see their long-term impact, to a woman who transformed her grief into a movement helping thousands rebuild their lives, Wallace shows how mattering can be cultivated in every sphere of life. She demonstrates that when people feel they truly matter—that their presence and contributions are noticed, needed, and missed when they aren’t there—everything changes. Productivity soars, relationships deepen, and communities strengthen.

Drawing on compelling research and intimate portraits of people who’ve discovered the power of mattering, Wallace provides a practical blueprint for creating lives of deeper meaning and connection. She reveals:

How small acts of recognition can transform workplace culture and prevent burnout

Why helping others often energizes us rather than depletes us

How to build “mattering spaces” that foster genuine connection in our communities

Practical strategies for navigating life transitions while maintaining our sense of purpose

Perfect for readers of Brené Brown and Adam Grant, this timely book offers both hope and concrete solutions for our modern crisis of disconnection. Mattering isn’t just another self-help guide—it’s a revolutionary framework for rebuilding the connections that make life meaningful and creating positive change that ripples outward from ourselves to our relationships, workplaces, and communities. With clarity and compassion, Wallace shows us that the antidote to our cultural crisis of isolation isn’t to turn inward, but to recognize how much we matter to each other. This book will forever change how you think about your role in the lives of others and offer a path to a more connected, purposeful life.
