Features: "The struggle for survival is so fierce, and I am so ordinary; I am destined to be insignificant." This is the philosophy of the defeated. "The joy of success is an inalienable right for everyone, and I should bravely face the sunshine of hope." This is the philosophy of the successful. The fundamental idea the author carries throughout this book is to advocate that modern people should cleanse themselves of the pollution brought by civilization, restore the radiance of human nature, and live a life that is more in harmony with human nature. Now, we often say "returning to the spiritual homeland." Where is the spiritual homeland? It lies deep within our human nature, in our natural, uncorrupted human nature. How to fully and perfectly realize human nature is the task of life philosophy. What is life philosophy? The author does not hope that people will understand it as the dry text in a textbook. In the author's view, philosophy is about the principles and ideas of life. Discussing and reading philosophy is to explore the meaning of life. Therefore, the author believes that those who think about philosophy and face it are people who take their own lives and lives seriously and responsibly.
