Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) was born in England and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. His long career established him as one of the most influential philosophers, mathematicians, and social reformers of the twentieth century.
Daniel C. Dennett is the Austin B. Fletcher Professor of Philosophy at Tufts University and the author of numerous books including Breaking the Spell, Darwin’s Dangerous Idea, and Consciousness Explained.
“Should be read by every parent, teacher, minister, and Congressman in the land.”—The Atlantic
In The Conquest of Happiness, first published by Liveright in 1930, iconoclastic philosopher Bertrand Russell attempted to diagnose the myriad causes of unhappiness in modern life and chart a path out of the seemingly inescapable malaise so prevalent even in safe and prosperous Western societies. More than eighty years later, Russell’s wisdom remains as true as it was on its initial release. Eschewing guilt-based morality, Russell lays out a rationalist prescription for living a happy life, including the importance of cultivating interests outside oneself and the dangers of passive pleasure. In this new edition, best-selling philosopher Daniel C. Dennett reintroduces Russell to a new generation, stating that Conquest is both “a fascinating time capsule” and “a prototype of the flood of self-help books that have more recently been published, few of them as well worth reading today as Russell’s little book.”

严谨,优雅,智慧。
评分本来想给个3或3星半 但后来想一想 罗素太善良了啊 心中还挂念千千万需要鸡汤的愚蠢人类
评分Solid reasoning.
评分本来不是很看得上这种哲学流鸡汤,没想到这么好读,可能很大程度上也要归功于罗素的行文流畅和冷幽默。Introduction写的不错,Russell毕竟是维多利亚时代成长起来的贵族阶层一份子,某些观点有明显的时代局限性,但比起二十世纪那么多的鸡汤来说,这本鸡汤鼻祖简直了高了不知道多少级
评分心灵鸡汤的话,写了什么不重要,自己仰望的人写的更重要。Once again,手可摘星辰的天才愿意为我们这些尘埃讲述他对快乐的探寻,太值得感谢了。这大概也是Russell心灵鸡汤的最后一本了,往后再读就只能读hardcore Philosophy & Logic了:)
