The boring debate between fundamentalist believers and non-believers is finally moved on by Alain de Botton's inspiring new book, which boldly argues that the supernatural claims of religion are of course entirely false - and yet that religions still have important things to teach the secular world.
Rather than mocking religions, agnostics and atheists should instead steal from them - because they're packed with good ideas on how we live and arrange our societies. Blending deep respect with total impiety, de Botton (a non-believer) proposes that we should look to religions for insights into how to build a sense of community, make our relationships last, get more out of art, overcome feelings of envy and inadequacy, and much more.
For too long non-believers have faced a stark choice between either swallowing peculiar doctrines or doing away with consoling and beautiful rituals and ideas. At last Alain de Botton has fashioned a far more interesting and truly helpful alternative.
It is too general, too platitudinous. The best thing in the book is those illustrations...
评分现在回头来写书评,是因为确实好多东西留下了深刻的印象
评分13年10月在法兰克福火车站等车时买的,断断续续读到今天才读完。有个太过勤奋的偶像,出书的速度远超过我看完你书的速度,作为读者情何以堪。

评分话题挺有意思的,也很有现实意义,但是每个部分最后都要乌托邦一下是怎么回事嘛?!德波顿转型鸡汤选手了啊
