书籍介绍
In his widely praised book, award-winning psychologist Jonathan Haidt examines the world’s philosophical wisdom through the lens of psychological science, showing how a deeper understanding of enduring maxims-like Do unto others as you would have others do unto you, or What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger-can enrich and even transform our lives.
用户评论
看题目以为是心灵鸡汤，看完才知道其实，讲的很多是古代智慧在现代社会的演绎。印象最深的是love and work are two core components of happiness.在思考，自己现在不那么快乐是不是因为work多了love基本丧失了呢..
Positive psychology 也就这些内容，都看过了
Happiness=Setpoint+Condition+Voluntary activities. Condition=love(attachments)+work(vital engagement)
感觉是the righteous mind和the coddling of the American mind的前身，讨论什么是和怎样得到happiness。Jon说自己是atheist和liberal，但对于religion和conservative的优点都写得非常好，从古老的东西方智慧到生物进化论到现代心理学经济学哲学，书后面厚厚的reference，非常受用。
恩象与骑象人在最后几章有点脱节，整体不错
这本书综合很多心理学和哲学的资源。一开始从一个相对消极的early happiness hypothesis出发：幸福来自于内在，不能通过让外界符合自己的欲望来实现。这个假说主要来源自Buddha，Epictetus的斯多葛主义，和一系列negativity bias和hedonic adaptation等等心理学证据。最后演变到一个更加积极的full hypothesis：Happiness = set point + condition + voluntary activities. 这个假说主要来自Seligman的积极心理学，Lyubomirsky的longitudinal study，和Csikszentmihalyi的flow，说明，虽然公式的前两项我们很难干预，但还是有积极可以
Although the book's first few chapters have some real merits, the second half is sloppier and worse argued than the first few, it lost credibility quickly. The book does not come close to promise to distill a vast array of writings from various civilizations throughout human history into a small number of guiding principles.
想讀了好幾年
就是写了关于人类追求快乐的各种努力，各种理论和思考。不是一本非常有条理的self-help书，读完也不一定会对你个人有多大的指导，但是包罗万象的知识读起来还是很有意思的
