Why do education reforms always seem to fail?
Why are we studying harder, living faster, but feeling more anxious than ever?
In Dismantling the Appendix, Taiwanese author Ping Xu delivers a sharp and courageous diagnosis:
The true obstacle to educational freedom isn't lazy teachers or unmotivated students—it's the outdated rule that says we must "work to survive."
Through personal storytelling, global comparisons, and real-life insights from the Finnish education system, Xu proposes a bold solution: Universal Basic Income.
Only when survival is no longer tied to labor can true learning begin.
Only then can education break free from the test-driven rat race and return to its core: curiosity, dignity, and growth.
This is a manifesto for parents, teachers, policy makers—and anyone who's ever wondered, What am I really alive for?
為什麼教育改革總是徒勞無功?
為什麼我們愈學愈累、愈活愈焦慮?
在《拆掉盲腸》中,台灣作者徐萍提出一個犀利又深刻的診斷:
教育之所以無法自由,不是因為老師不夠努力、學生不夠聰明,而是我們的社會制度早已老舊病變——那就是「靠工作換生存」。
本書結合親身經歷、國際觀察與芬蘭教育實例,提出一個核心主張:唯有落實無條件基本收入,人才能真正擁有學習與生活的自由。
當我們不再為了生存而拼命,教育才能回歸好奇與成長的本質。
這是一封寫給父母、老師、政策制定者,也寫給每一位曾經問過「活著到底是為了什麼」的人,充滿希望的邀請函。

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
