Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) was born in England and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. His long career established him as one of the most influential philosophers, mathematicians, and social reformers of the twentieth century.
Daniel C. Dennett is the Austin B. Fletcher Professor of Philosophy at Tufts University and the author of numerous books including Breaking the Spell, Darwin’s Dangerous Idea, and Consciousness Explained.
“Should be read by every parent, teacher, minister, and Congressman in the land.”—The Atlantic
In The Conquest of Happiness, first published by Liveright in 1930, iconoclastic philosopher Bertrand Russell attempted to diagnose the myriad causes of unhappiness in modern life and chart a path out of the seemingly inescapable malaise so prevalent even in safe and prosperous Western societies. More than eighty years later, Russell’s wisdom remains as true as it was on its initial release. Eschewing guilt-based morality, Russell lays out a rationalist prescription for living a happy life, including the importance of cultivating interests outside oneself and the dangers of passive pleasure. In this new edition, best-selling philosopher Daniel C. Dennett reintroduces Russell to a new generation, stating that Conquest is both “a fascinating time capsule” and “a prototype of the flood of self-help books that have more recently been published, few of them as well worth reading today as Russell’s little book.”

评分貌似羅素老爺子的隨筆,讀完雖沒有醍醐灌頂的感受,但會對於Happiness有瞭更多的意識,個人也可以嘗試書中所提及的觀點。雖然書是寫在多年以前,社會也有很大變化,但一些道理是不會變的。

评分心靈雞湯的話,寫瞭什麼不重要,自己仰望的人寫的更重要。Once again,手可摘星辰的天纔願意為我們這些塵埃講述他對快樂的探尋,太值得感謝瞭。這大概也是Russell心靈雞湯的最後一本瞭,往後再讀就隻能讀hardcore Philosophy & Logic瞭:)
