He lives in London, where he founded The School of Life (www.theschooloflife.com) and Living Architecture (www.living-architecture.co.uk).
The news is everywhere. We can’t stop constantly checking it on our computer screens, but what is this doing to our minds?
We are never really taught how to make sense of the torrent of news we face every day, writes Alain de Botton (author of the best-selling The Architecture of Happiness), but this has a huge impact on our sense of what matters and of how we should lead our lives. In his dazzling new book, de Botton takes twenty-five archetypal news stories—including an airplane crash, a murder, a celebrity interview and a political scandal—and submits them to unusually intense analysis with a view to helping us navigate our news-soaked age. He raises such questions as Why are disaster stories often so uplifting? What makes the love lives of celebrities so interesting? Why do we enjoy watching politicians being brought down? Why are upheavals in far-off lands often so boring?
In The News: A User’s Manual, de Botton has written the ultimate guide for our frenzied era, certain to bring calm, understanding and a measure of sanity to our daily (perhaps even hourly) interactions with the news machine.
互联网时代下,想找一个没有新闻的角落似乎已不那么容易。 当所有人逐渐被新闻所渗透,但却很少能意识到新闻的强大影响。 娱乐、政治、自然灾害、节日……我们需要外界的不安来消解、转移视线,以此获得片刻内心的平静。书中引用黑格尔:“当新闻取代宗教、成为我们的核心指导...

评分新闻乌托邦 ——读阿兰.德波顿《新闻的骚动》 在《新闻的骚动》一书中, 英伦才子阿兰.德波顿几乎将新闻及其制造者媒体描绘成了一个巫婆。肤浅、狭促, 充满偏见和庸见, 关注黑暗,扩大恐惧,焦虑,缺乏正能量……身负挖掘事实真相,进行舆论监督,维护社会公平正义重任,被...
评分“教堂尖顶那朵无人问津的浮云,拿着注射器温柔贴近病人胳膊的医生,灌木篱笆下的肥胖田鼠,敲打白煮蛋壳的孩子和一旁满眼慈爱的母亲,胆大心细巡视海岸的核潜艇,研制出首个新型引擎样本的工厂,以及虽百般挑衅却仍能保持克制和宽容的伴侣。”——这些日常生活中较为正常、...
很传统的人文视角,某种程度上也可以理解为欧洲许知远的眼光。我承认作者的很多看法,新闻并没有改变我们世界观里的冷漠和狭隘。但或许我们的人性就是如此冷漠而狭隘。
评分感觉看个新闻好累
评分I can see why some readers don't like him, but Alain de Botton's advice is invaluable.
评分虽然只看最后一章就可以,但还是五分。。。
