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.
Alain de Botton is the author of nonfiction works on subjects ranging from love and travel to architecture and philosophy. His best-selling books include How Proust Can Change Your Life, The Art of Travel and The Architecture of Happiness. He lives in London, where he founded The School of Life (www.theschooloflife.com) and Living Architecture (www.living-architecture.co.uk).
感觉看个新闻好累
评分Not inspiring.
评分很传统的人文视角,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。
评分虽然只看最后一章就可以,但还是五分。。。
评分I can see why some readers don't like him, but Alain de Botton's advice is invaluable.
网上试读之后觉得被一些字句震到了,第一次在豆瓣上花了九块九买了电子版,等到后来我看完这本书的动力就是我本来可以买两瓶宝矿力的九块九毛钱。 在德波顿的世界里,理想中的新闻是无所不能的,现实中的新闻是千疮百孔的。书中建立的这个乌托邦,有了新闻就不需要老师,只...
评分“英国才子”的新闻读后感,认为新闻从业员未尽职责将新闻抽丝剥茧,或以有趣的语言呈现,或以朝着对人类有意义贡献的方向叙述,而只是平淡无奇地报道着层出不穷的天灾人祸。这样看来,其实是作者不太明白“新闻”到底是什么,“忠于事实,不偏不倚”才是新闻的中心,尤其在这...
评分如果灾难不幸降临在自己的身上,我们对它的关心,就不再是一种无法承受的痛,而是对正义、同情的道德发现以及伴随这个过程隐隐约约的快乐。 英国随笔作家阿兰·德波顿,有些像是游戏玩家。不过,他每次扮演的角色却不大相像,在伴随人类几千年之久的宗教精神游戏中是一个无神...
