具体描述
This is a book about ten great ideas.Each chapter is an attempt to savor one idea that has been discovered by several of the world's civilizations - to question it scientifically, and to extract from it the lessons that apply to our modern lives.Jonathan Haidt skillfully combines two genres#151;philosophical wisdom and scientific research#151;delighting the reader with surprising insights. He explains, for example, why we have such difficulty controlling ourselves and sticking to our plans; why no achievement brings lasting happiness, yet a few changes in your life can have profound effects, and why even confirmed atheists experience spiritual elevation. In a stunning final chapter, Haidt addresses the grand question "How can I live a meaningful life?," offering an original answer that draws on the rich inspiration of both philosophy and science.

不错的书。 积极心理学，有别于成功学的口号和忽悠，从人类心理机制的角度阐述如何获得快乐和人生意义。 读后比较有启发，很多地方可以和自己的生活对照。蓦然回首，才发现走过了很多弯路。而这些弯路，已经有无数人重复，并且早已总结出应对之策。心理学就是这样一个很好的工...
开始看的时候略显枯燥~~ 对我这个只是拿心理学当喜好而没认真钻研过的人来说，陌生的名词太多了~~所以看的有点晕，有点累，有点迷迷糊糊~ 不过个别可以看的很懂的章节，看完后真的是受益匪浅。 里面举的几个例子也是相当的好。 比如正方形和空间的例子~等等~~ 我相信这本...
