Reading the book, I had no trouble understanding how negative visualization could be an effective antidote against "hedonic adaptation." By imagining ourselves to be homeless, for instance, we can reset our desire for a more luxurious home and once again appreciate the roof over our head that we started taking for granted shortly after moving in.
Irvine, a professor of philosophy at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, writes that Stoicism was one of many competing philosophies (such as the Cynics and the Epicureans) that ran schools to teach a "philosophy of life" to students in ancient Greece and Rome. The Stoics were interested in leading a life of "tranquility," meaning a life free of "anger, anxiety, fear, grief, and envy." To achieve such a life the Stoics developed, in the words of historian Paul Veyne, a "paradoxical recipe for happiness," that included the practice of "negative visualization." By frequently and vividly imagining worst-case scenarios -- the death of a child, financial catastrophe, ruined health -- the Stoics believed you would learn to appreciate what you have, and curb your insatiable appetite for more material goods, social status, and other objects of desire.
读完《生命安宁》这本书,看着窗外阴沉沉的灰霾天气,心情都忍不住轻快了起来。这本书像个知己朋友,谈论的都是我们生命中实际的困境,并试着告诉我们该怎样去获得安宁与快乐。但它不是那种感悟式的“心灵快餐”,而是以古希腊的斯多葛主义哲学为理论基础,谈论一种关于生命内...

评分所谓人生哲学,就是要确定什么是值得追求的,什么是不值得追求的,然后知道如何获得值得追求的事物。 对于斯多葛学派(Stoicism)来说,值得追求的是安宁(来自内心深处的快乐)。 关于如何获得安宁,作者提出了几个建议: 1)要有自我意识,观察日常生活,定期反思自己在处理...
读了一半。feel like the author was distorting Stoicism for incorporating them to his self invented Stoic techniques; some quotes from ancient Stoics obviously didn't support his interpretation.

评分略啰嗦,但是理论还是很有意思的,写得也易懂
评分比较啰嗦。Stoics就是几个原则:1. 内化(internalize)个人目标。不以物喜不以己悲 2. 多做negative visualization,切身想一下最坏的情况,居安思危。3. 以上两点都是为了获得内心的平静。(tranquility)
评分对需要长时间段身处逆境的朋友们来说,永远是一剂良药。
