重啟人生:一個哈佛教授的生命領悟,給你把餘生過好的簡單建議
From Strength to Strength: Finding Success, Happiness, and Deep Purpose in the Second Half of Life
榮登《紐約時報》暢銷書榜首
本書由暢銷書作家、哈佛大學教授、《大西洋月刊》幸福專欄作家亞瑟‧布魯克斯撰寫,為我們指引瞭如何在晚年找到人生目標、意義和成功的方向。
我們很多人都認為,越成功,就越不容易感受到隨著年齡增長而來的職業和社會邊緣化感。但事實是,我們的成就越大,對成就的執著越深,就越容易察覺到自身的衰退,衰退來臨時也越痛苦。
那麼,從現在開始,我們該如何讓晚年成為充滿幸福、目標和成功的時光呢?
在50歲事業巔峰時期,亞瑟布魯克斯開啟了一段長達七年的探索之旅,試圖將自己因能力衰退而產生的失望轉化為前進的契機。 《從強到強》正是這段探索之旅的成果,它為你的餘生提供了一個切實可行的路線圖。
布魯克斯融合了社會科學、哲學、傳記、神學和東方智慧,並訪問了數十位普通男女,向我們展示了真正的人生成功其實觸手可及。透過重新聚焦於一些任何人都能學習的優先事項和習慣,例如深刻的智慧、擺脫對空洞回報的執著、與他人建立聯繫並服務他人,以及精神上的提升,我們就能為獲得更多的幸福做好準備。
閱讀本書,你也能步步高升,不斷進步。
INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The roadmap for finding purpose, meaning, and success as we age, from bestselling author, Harvard professor, and the Atlantic's happiness columnist Arthur Brooks.
Many of us assume that the more successful we are, the less susceptible we become to the sense of professional and social irrelevance that often accompanies aging. But the truth is, the greater our achievements and our attachment to them, the more we notice our decline, and the more painful it is when it occurs.
What can we do, starting now, to make our older years a time of happiness, purpose, and yes, success?
At the height of his career at the age of 50, Arthur Brooks embarked on a seven-year journey to discover how to transform his future from one of disappointment over waning abilities into an opportunity for progress. From Strength to Strength is the result, a practical roadmap for the rest of your life.
Drawing on social science, philosophy, biography, theology, and eastern wisdom, as well as dozens of interviews with everyday men and women, Brooks shows us that true life success is well within our reach. By refocusing on certain priorities and habits that anyone can learn, such as deep wisdom, detachment from empty rewards, connection and service to others, and spiritual progress, we can set ourselves up for increased happiness.
Read this book and you, too, can go from strength to strength.
