The starting point of How Proust can change your Life is that a great novel can be nothing less than life-transforming. This is an unusual claim: our education system, while stressing that novels are highly worthwhile, rarely investigates why this is so. How Proust can change your Life takes Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time as the basis for a sustained investigation into the power and significance of literature. Proust’s novel, almost a byword for obscurity and irrelevance, emerges as an invaluable source of insight into the workings of love, society, art and the meaning of existence.
The book reveals Proust’s thoughts on how to revive a relationship, choose a good doctor, enjoy a holiday, make friends and respond to insult. A vivid portrait of the eccentric yet deeply sympathetic author is built up out of extracts from his letters, essays and fiction and is combined with a commentary on the power of literature to change our lives. A self-help book like few others.(extracted from Alaindebotton.com)
Alain de Botton was born in Zurich, Switzerland in 1969 and now lives in London.
He is a writer of essayistic books, which refer both to his own experiences and ideas- and those of artists, philosophers and thinkers. It's a style of writing that has been termed a 'philosophy of everyday life.'

世界上据说有那么几本书可以砸死人,但是好像没有谁被砸死过。 世界上能砸死人的小说也有那么几本,其中一本叫做《追忆逝水年华》,我第一次看的时候,看不下去,就好像一个腰阔膀大的女人突然站在你面前,脱衣解带。 那一刻,我猜想普鲁斯特一定是一个忧伤到45度角都不够忧...
评分如果简单地叙述, 这个句子是这样的: 今天下午我买了一本<拥抱逝水年华>. 但这个原名How Proust can change your life的小册子使我更倾向于用另一种表达方式: 在被我可爱的第二号小叔, 准确地说是被他和在未来存在那么一点可能性成为我的婶婶的女孩子--她甚至比我还年少两岁...
评分普鲁斯特怎样改变你的生活.. 当你伤怀之时 躺到温暖的床上去 在暖和的被中 一切的努力 挣扎 都已放弃 此时即或蒙头大放悲声 瑟瑟发抖呼号如秋风中的寒枝 也自有一份惬意 有谁能真的理解恋床者的心情呢 不要责怪他懒惰或散漫 他只是想得到一个属于自己的安全角落 放松紧张的身...
评分读德波顿的书是种奇怪的感觉,阅读时全心投入感慨万千,一切结束之后我就无比沮丧起来。在书中他写到伍尔芙读完【追忆似水年华】的感觉,正像自己读完【拥抱逝水年华】:要是能写得像他那么好多好啊。伍尔芙说【追忆似水年华】像一片沼泽般令她望而却步,她害怕自己若沉下去...

章节水准参差不齐,有的蛮有共鸣,有的部分比较牵强。三星半。
评分in the end, found it more of an entertainment than of any other value
评分we can get power and strength from the classic and this is the best example
评分in the end, found it more of an entertainment than of any other value
