《The Conquest of Happiness》读后感(一)：幸福其实很简单

我或者我的朋友们如果看到这本书，是兴奋还是不以为然，或许都会有，毕竟我们已经不是第一次看到类似的话题了。每个人都渴望幸福，然而不是每个人都会懂得践行其中简单的道理。

如果用简明的话来总结书中的大意，我想不过是热爱自己的工作(boredom and excitement, zest, work)，用真挚的心去爱人、爱事(affection, family, impersonal interests)，知足(competition, effort and resignation)，不贪图回报，去除各种狭隘的想法(envy, the sense of sin)。这些不都是我们一直以来看到过的吗？细细想来，自己又做到了几条呢？每每不开心的时候，是不是多少都是因为其中几条又在挑唆自己，让自己的情感失控，不够理智。

我很喜欢Russell的一个建议：每天反思一条缺点。只有自己认识自己，愿意改变，这样才不容易收到外界观点的影响，到了那个时候，自然开朗豁达许多了。

《The Conquest of Happiness》读后感(二)：External Interests and self-absorption

It’s against my brief that one can attain happiness by just focus his attention and energy on external interests. I believed one has to ask what life is all about, that is, the fundamental meaning of one’s life. It is the meaning of life that gives meaning to what you do everyday.

On the other hand, I do find Russell’s argument make points. Self-absorption, in the extreme form, is the cause of much unhappiness. Those who spend a lot of time on their inner world live in a self-enclosed babble, believing that their happiness or sadness or any emotional fluctuations are the only things that matter in the universe.

Those happy people are busy in their business and therefore do not have the time to dwell upon their private emotions and thoughts.

But I do believe that there is a progressive self-absorption. I may call it introspection or self-reflection. It’s the kind of activity that makes you understand the meaning of your life and what would you do in order to secure this meaning. It clarifies missions, directions, goals. You don’t have to spend a lot of time on this activity, but the time spent is highly productive. It is the source of the energy you need to pursue the external interests. It may take many forms, for example, reading great books, writing (like what I’m doing now), meditating ect.

I think it’s just a matter of degree. Indulgence in self is harmful, proper introspection is, on the contrary, a productive activity.

《The Conquest of Happiness》读后感(三)：重讀《征服幸福》(The Conquest of Happiness)

在視野橫跨哲學和數學，著作等身的羅素(Russell, Bertrand)眼裡，這本小書可能是即興之作，然而卻意外地成為最易親近的羅素作品。

主題很簡單：探討不幸的根源，以及通往幸福的途徑。可以查到很多中文譯本，大抵都翻譯成“通往幸福”或者“幸福之路”，初看標題，還以為羅素寫了一本成功學或者情感輔導的書。這本書的偉大之處，其實乃在於它以羅素特色的數學般嚴謹的文學語言，不瘟不火，一步一步嚴謹地逼近結論。它是一本用堅硬的邏輯寫成的心靈雞湯，也是一本充盈溫暖人心的詩意的數學論文。

羅素主張，幸福不會憑空從天降落，亦不會“發自內心”，而源於不斷抗爭。換言之，幸福是冷艷的美妙伊人，需要用心征服。喜歡追究童年經歷的心理學家也許不會同意羅素的觀點，但羅素以淺近的語言，反復論證，所揭示的道理即使今天也不會有太多人認同，那就是：幸福來自於超脫自己甚至忘卻自己，而全身心投入一件身外之物。

在羅素看來，終日勞苦，無暇思考人生的意義，幸福的內涵，只為掙錢蓋房子娶媳婦，過年回家和親人團聚的農民工，其幸福程度遠遠超越成日吟詩賦辭的文人墨客。每月領取幾百塊錢，終日於大街奔波辛苦持家只把希望寄托於自己的兒女孫子孫女曾孫子曾孫女的清潔工人，內心的愉悅感甚過叱詫風雲的對衝基金操盤手。

羅素列舉了不幸的原因：閱盡世間繁華進而厭世 (Byroonic unhappiness)，競爭(Competition)，苦悶與興奮交織(Boredom and Excitement)，疲勞(Fatigue)，嫉妒(Envy)，罪惡感(The Sense of Sin)，受迫害狂(Persecution Mania)，畏懼他人看法(Fear of Public Opinion)。

幸運或者不幸，羅素給上個世紀初工業時代的西方人開的診斷結果，非常適合生活在當下的中國的我們。

而解決途徑，羅素說，首要的是承認幸福依然是可能的，遠離一切看透世事的智者。或者，至少，少寫或者不寫Blog（博大家一笑）：

“Give up trying to write, and, instead, try not to write. Go out into the world; become a pirate, a king in Borneo, a laborer in Soviet Russia; give yourself an existence in which the satisfaction of elementary physical needs will occupy almost all your energies.”

“放棄寫作，或者盡量不寫東西。進入真實的世界，成為一名海盜，成為一名婆羅洲的國王，成為一名蘇俄工人—給你自己一種基本體力需要占據你的大多數能量的存在方式。”

我期待著你讀這本小書，並且和我分享心得。
