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.

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...
