Sinossi
Emily Esfahani Smith non ci offre un manuale su come essere felici. Anzi, l'idea che la felicità sia un obiettivo cui puntare a ogni costo viene scardinata fin dall'inizio. In tanti oggi sono convinti che per essere felici occorra ricercare il senso della vita compiendo grandi imprese, recandosi in un remoto monastero o sfogliando le pagine di polverosi volumi. E invece, il senso è proprio attorno a noi, qui e ora. Così vicino che non ce ne accorgiamo. Attingendo dalla psicologia, la sociologia, la filosofia e le neuro-scienze, come pure da figure della letteratura e della storia quali George Eliot, Viktor Frankl, Aristotele e Buddha, "Cercare la felicità non rende felici" ci mostra come dare un Significato alla nostra vita coltivando i rapporti con gli altri, lavorando per uno scopo e comprendendo il nostro posto nel mondo.

Not bad, but unnecessary. The best parts are book reports of better stuff. Much of the rest is composed of anecdotes and descriptions of small psych experiments. A common theme throughout is people hitting bottom (jail, end of life, drugs, etc.) and then deciding to maybe look for a different path.

There is a subtle difference between the question “What is the meaning of life?” and “What is the meaning of my life?” The latter of which has caused me great anguish in recent years. While this book didn’t give me a solution, it did give me tools to help find the answer. Up until the 18th century, s Leggi tutto
For many years a good friend of mine hung a sign in his office advising him to find: “Something, to do, someone to love, and something to hope for.” Perhaps we all seek meaning in our lives; “for as long as human beings have existed, they have yearned to know what makes life worth living.” As more pe Leggi tutto
People are often in search of happiness, but Emily Esfahani Smith argues that people would do well to search for meaning instead. Smith looks closely at the research that has been done on four areas of finding meaning: relationships to others, contributing to society, making sense of experiences, an Leggi tutto
