How Adam Smith Can Change Your Life pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
A forgotten book by one of history's greatest thinkers reveals the surprising connections between happiness, virtue, fame, and fortune.
Adam Smith may have become the patron saint of capitalism after he penned his most famous work, The Wealth of Nations. But few people know that when it came to the behavior of individuals—the way we perceive ourselves, the way we treat others, and the decisions we make in pursuit of happiness—the Scottish philosopher had just as much to say. He developed his ideas on human nature in an epic, sprawling work titled The Theory of Moral Sentiments.
Most economists have never read it, and for most of his life, Russ Roberts was no exception. But when he finally picked up the book by the founder of his field, he realized he’d stumbled upon what might be the greatest self-help book that almost no one has read.
In How Adam Smith Can Change Your Life, Roberts examines Smith’s forgotten masterpiece, and finds a treasure trove of timeless, practical wisdom. Smith’s insights into human nature are just as relevant today as they were three hundred years ago. What does it take to be truly happy? Should we pursue fame and fortune or the respect of our friends and family? How can we make the world a better place? Smith’s unexpected answers, framed within the rich context of current events, literature, history, and pop culture, are at once profound, counterintuitive, and highly entertaining.
Russ Roberts is the John and Jean De Nault Research Fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. He hosts the award-winning weekly podcast EconTalk and is the author of three economics novels, including The Price of Everything: A Parable of Possibility and Prosperity. He is also the co-creator of the Keynes-Hayek rap videos, which have been viewed over seven million times on YouTube. His twitter handle is @econtalker.
标题党,实际上只写了道德情操论,感觉挺一般
评分There are two ways to be loved, to satisfy the desire we all have in us to be noticed and to be somebody. The first path is to be rich, famous, powerful. The second path is to be wise and virtuous.
评分摘一句喜欢的话“Set a good example, and by your loveliness you will not only be loved, but you may influence the world” 阅读的过程中获取了很多认可和力量。主要在讲Adam Smith “The Theory of Moral Sentiments”这本书,总体上summarize+interpret得挺好的,我觉得值得回头再翻。对于怎样内心安宁地过好这一生,应该追求些什么会更有意义和价值,依旧有指导借鉴作用~高兴!
评分勉强四星。前面的部分写得比较平和中正,如何做一个好人,如何获得内心的平静,如何以一个平凡人的身份去改变世界,都写得很好,即使是两百多年前的观点,仍然有很现实的意义。但第十章感觉与前面的章节很分离,有种强行揉在一起的感觉。
评分Adam Smith真经典,值得一读再读。这本就是用现代语言讲了一下道德情操论这本书,人啊,都渴望being loved and lovely。每个人心中有个impartial spectator来监控着我们的言行,我们人与人的交往也形成了social norm。Smith提倡我们善待身边的人,最后作者也提到这种善待怎么能跟国富论里invisible hand 和self interest统一成一套世界观。
我们模拟一下亚当斯密在《道德情操论》场景测试:坐在伦敦的家中读报纸看到中国发生地震,数万人受到影响,你为这些可怜的人感到心痛。这时候,你的手指划破了,这时候你的首先任务就是找纱布包扎自己的受伤的手,把那些遭遇地震的人抛在脑后了。然后,进一步的极端假设,如果...
