Features: "High Salary" and "Happiness," which is more heartwarming? "Joyful Pursuit" and "Tranquil Mind," which is more comforting? "Intellectual Capital" and "Physical Capital," "Capital" and "Root Solution," which is the true foundation? Indeed, in life, success and failure, gain and loss, misfortune and fortune, truth and falsehood are often intertwined, confusing and ever-changing. So, what is the essence of our lives? Where will humanity go in the new century? How should we view and respond to 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, which has allowed them to become masters of their careers and lives. Some scholars have made a comparison: life and health are like the number "1" in mathematics, while salary, position, and the like are just like the additional zeros behind it. Once a person loses health and peace, they also lose the "1" in front, and thus the meaning of all the zeros behind it will be lost! Reading this book at a low cost is like receiving a "heart healing," a refresher course, or a cultivation. Because reading with a critical and questioning mindset is a remedy for inspiring thought and settling the mind, it can broaden our horizons, influence our souls, make our life journey less turbulent, and help us avoid detours. At the same time, it will also inspire our creativity and enhance our success rate and life value.
Finite life and infinite struggles, engaging with the world or withdrawing from it, conforming to convention or transcending it—how do we choose? In an era of rolling money and full of uncertainties, what is our eternal wealth? Some outstanding and famous individuals remain calm and composed amidst the chaos, yet how do they achieve this? Starting from the emotional and behavioral health issues of ordinary people, based on a wealth of vivid and detailed examples, and guided by knowledge from psychology and behavioral science, life economics, and related disciplines, the book provides a comprehensive and multi-dimensional analysis and presentation of the various issues that disturb our lives and happiness. The book is also highly readable. Since life is not isolated, the author objectively and cautiously examines life and happiness from the perspectives of life sociology, social problems, and social economics, and specifically proposes methods and pathways to avoid pitfalls and enhance success and life value in the third part. This is an invaluable leisure read that helps inspire thought and settle the mind.
