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.

我喜欢读点书，但有两类书我却避之惟恐不及，一类是励志书，一类是智谋书。它们其实是一类，给我的印象都是用夸夸其谈、激动人心的教诲兜售一些伎俩，去蛊惑人们追逐唯一的目标——成功，其神秘兮兮的味道有点类似于武林秘籍……印得连篇累牍，卖得如火如荼。我对这些宝典敬...  

《象与骑象人》说的是理性与感性的交锋和共荣，我以前是一个非常感性的人，幸在进入IT行业，慢慢变得理性，又在理性占了绝对上风时，成为自由人，减少自我与外界、自我分成两半的争战，使理性和感性得以平衡，而在这个挣扎的过程中，佛陀的确给我很大启迪。所以，读这本书，非...
