The starting point of How Proust can change your Life is that a great novel can be nothing less than life-transforming. This is an unusual claim: our education system, while stressing that novels are highly worthwhile, rarely investigates why this is so. How Proust can change your Life takes Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time as the basis for a sustained investigation into the power and significance of literature. Proust’s novel, almost a byword for obscurity and irrelevance, emerges as an invaluable source of insight into the workings of love, society, art and the meaning of existence.
The book reveals Proust’s thoughts on how to revive a relationship, choose a good doctor, enjoy a holiday, make friends and respond to insult. A vivid portrait of the eccentric yet deeply sympathetic author is built up out of extracts from his letters, essays and fiction and is combined with a commentary on the power of literature to change our lives. A self-help book like few others.(extracted from Alaindebotton.com)
Alain de Botton was born in Zurich, Switzerland in 1969 and now lives in London.
He is a writer of essayistic books, which refer both to his own experiences and ideas- and those of artists, philosophers and thinkers. It's a style of writing that has been termed a 'philosophy of everyday life.'

评分我在旅行中的常态,是战时状态。出发前必读旅行手册,地图上做标记,网络上参考攻略,攀比路资,查到家居式旅馆必发邮件问地段讲价钱,再到小心翼翼擦拭相机镜头,写好吃穿住行的便签,随身物一件件对应装箱,这才刚刚开始。到了目的地,一定学究气上涌,对照资料,边看边“解...
评分阿兰·德波顿的书读完了《爱上浪漫》和《拥抱似水年华》,满身都是舒服之感。学识渊博的表现并不是说些不着边际的大话假话空话来迷惑世人来显示自己的高深,成为所谓的名著。它应该像德波顿说的那样,一本好书就是一次交谈,轻松自在,不在于学到什么谈资之类的东西,因为你只...
评分不久之前,blogsphere流行回答普鲁斯特问卷 注释:关于普鲁斯特问卷:著名的普鲁斯特问卷(Proust Questionnaire)由一系列问题组成,问题包括被提问者的生活、思想、价值观及人生经验等。 因《追忆逝水年华》闻名的大作家Marcel·Proust并不是这份问卷的发明者,但这份问卷...
评分一 从工作之后,自己一切处于焦虑的状态,自己拼命去学习,看专业书,花更多的时间想把工作的事做好,但这一切一切对于消除焦虑几乎没有任何帮助。 我不知道有没人和我有同样的感受。有人说大学的时候容易迷茫,自己恰恰相反,大学的时候我一点都不迷茫,因为知道四年后...
被波顿萌损下的普罗斯特在我心中就一个更多愁善感的Sheldon LOL 我从你身上学到不少呢~
评分Is Proust against sex before marriage? No, just before love.//Alain真的如此聪明以致四十绝顶么。眼睛很大很明亮。
评分The path from depression and self-loathing to cheerful defiance suggests a gradual recognition that one person's achievements did not have to invalidate another's, that there would always be something left to do even if it momentarily appeared otherwise.
评分毕业论文写的这人 说起来真和他不熟
