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.

励志箴言的头头是道，都是“真理式的废话”，它们仅是些形容词。它扼杀了多元化的价值观，将“成功”当成惟一目的，忽略人性的存在。 而本书则以新的观点阐述情感与理性的关系。倘若我们在不知个中缘由的情况下，多半无法驯服心中的大象。因为你没有和它做“朋友”，也没有去...
