An unverified life is not worth living. — Socrates
Everyone wants to change the world, but no one thinks about changing themselves. — Tolstoy
History makes one wise; poetry makes one elegant; mathematics makes one meticulous; natural philosophy makes one profound; ethics makes one dignified; logic and rhetoric make one persuasive. — Bacon
Life contains philosophy, and philosophy is embedded in life. Philosophy cannot bake bread, but it can add sweetness to it. Life is the process of buying, baking, and eating bread; if you want the bread to taste good, you need the honey to season it, and that honey is philosophy. This is the incisive explanation by the author, Fu Peirong, a professor of philosophy at National Taiwan University, on the relationship between philosophy and life; it is also the purpose of this book. The book is divided into four parts: "The Joy of Sharing," "The Pleasure of Learning," "The Harvest of Inspiration," and "The Perfection of Experience." Each article comes from the author's learning journey and growth process, reflecting his insights into applying philosophical concepts to interpret and guide life. Reading it is like drinking clear tea—it quenches thirst while also calming the mind.
