What's the most extreme thing you would do to reinvent yourself? This week, we share the wild, true story of a man who hit the reset button on his life—HARD. Matthew Polly was a Princeton student with a clear path to success, but he felt like a 98-pound weakling with no direction. So he did the unthinkable: he dropped out, flew to China, and became one of the first Americans to study Kung Fu with the legendary monks of the Shaolin Temple. This is a raw, hilarious, and inspiring look at what it truly means to build discipline from scratch and find your strength when you feel you have none. If you've ever dreamed of taking a wild leap of faith, you can't miss this story. 为了重塑自我，你能做出多极限的选择？本周，我们分享一个“玩把大的”、彻底重启人生的硬核真实故事。 Matthew Polly，一个前途光明的普林斯顿高材生，内心却觉得自己是个毫无方向的、98磅重的弱鸡。于是，他做了一件匪夷所思的事：辍学，买上机票，远赴中国，成为了最早一批进入传奇的嵩山少林寺，跟随武僧学习功夫的美国人之一。这是一个关于如何从零开始构建纪律，并在感觉一无所有时找到力量的，真实、爆笑又激励人心的故事。如果你也曾梦想过一次义无反顾的冒险，那绝对不能错过这一期。 书籍信息: * 书名: American Shaolin * 作者: Matthew Polly * 出版日期: 2007年2月1日
