Features: "High Salary" vs. "Happy Mood," "Enjoying Life" vs. "Tranquil Heart" – Which is More Warm? "Intellectual Capital" vs. "Physical Capital," "Capital" vs. "Root Cause" – Which is Truly Fundamental? Indeed, in life, fortune and misfortune, gain and loss, happiness and sorrow, truth and falsehood are often intertwined, elusive, and ever-changing. So, what is the essence of our lives? Where should humanity go in the new century? How should we view and address the current complex issues of life and happiness? Recent authoritative materials indicate: Among our billions of lives, 80% are in a "sub-healthy" or "non-healthy" state, while fewer than 10% truly enjoy physical and mental well-being, fortunate enough to become masters of their careers and lives. Some scholars have drawn an analogy: A healthy life is like the mathematical digit "1," while salary, position, and the like are merely additional digits "0" placed after it. Once a person loses that "1," even the most numerous "0"s lose their original meaning! Reading this book is like receiving a cheap "heart therapy," a refresher course, or a form of cultivation. Reading with a critical and questioning mindset is a remedy for inspiring thought and settling the mind and body. It can broaden our horizons, touch our souls, reduce unnecessary struggles in life, and help us avoid detours. At the same time, it will also spark our inspiration and enhance our success rate and life value.
Finite life and infinite struggles, engagement with the world vs. detachment, conforming to the crowd or transcending it – how do we choose? In an era of rolling wealth and constant change, what is our eternal wealth? Some outstanding individuals remain calm and composed amidst the chaos, yet how do they achieve this? Starting from common emotional and behavioral health issues, grounded in a wealth of vivid examples, and guided by knowledge from psychology, behavioral science, life economics, and related disciplines, the authors provide a comprehensive and multi-dimensional analysis of the problems that disturb our lives and happiness. The book blends readability seamlessly.
Since life is not isolated, the authors objectively and cautiously examine the issue of life happiness from the perspectives of life sociology, social problemology, and social economics, among other systematic sciences. In the third part, they specifically propose methods and pathways to avoid pitfalls and enhance success rates and life value. This is an invaluable leisure read that helps inspire thought and settle the mind and body.
