Features: "High Salary" vs. "Happy Mood," "Enjoying Life" vs. "Tranquil Mind" – Which is More Heartwarming? "Intellectual Capital" vs. "Physical Capital," "Capital" vs. "Root Cause" – Which is Truly Fundamental? Indeed, life is often a complex interplay of ups and downs, gains and losses, misfortunes and blessings, truth and falsehood, shrouded in mystery and ever-changing. So, what is the essence of our lives? Where is humanity headed in the new century? How should we view and address the current tangled issues of life and happiness? Recent authoritative materials indicate that out of 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 both career and life. Some scholars have drawn an analogy: life and health are like the mathematical digit "1," while salary, position, and the like are merely the additional digits "0" following it. Once one loses that "1," even the most numerous "0"s lose their original meaning! Reading this book is like receiving a cheap "heart healing" session—a refresher course or cultivation. Because reading with a critical, problem-oriented mindset is a remedy for inspiring thought and settling the mind, it can broaden our horizons, touch our souls, reduce unnecessary struggles in life, and help us avoid detours. At the same time, it will spark our inspiration and enhance our success rate and life value.
Finite life and infinite struggles, engaging with the world vs. withdrawing from it, conforming to convention vs. transcending it—how do we make choices? In an era of rolling wealth and constant change, what is our eternal wealth? Some outstanding individuals exude calm determination while remaining leisurely and self-assured. What are their mysterious, high-level strategies? Starting from common emotional and behavioral health issues, the book is grounded in a wealth of vivid examples, guided by knowledge from psychology and behavioral science, life economics, and related disciplines, offering a comprehensive and multi-dimensional analysis of the problems that disturb our happiness. The book blends readability seamlessly. Since life is not isolated, the author objectively and cautiously examines the issue of life happiness from the perspectives of life sociology, social problems, and social economics, and in the third part, specifically proposes methods and pathways to avoid pitfalls and enhance success and life value.
This is an invaluable leisure read that helps inspire thought and settle the mind.
