The Pursuit of Unhappiness: The Elusive Psychology of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Haybron, Daniel M., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, The pursuit of happiness is a defining theme of the modern era. But what if people aren't very good at it? That is the question posed by this book, the first comprehensive philosophical treatment of happiness, understood here as a psychological phenomenon. Engaging heavily with the scientific literature, Dan Haybron argues that people probably know less about their own welfare, and may be less effective at securing it, than common belief has it. This is largely because human nature is surprisingly ill-suited to the pursuit of happiness. For the happiness that counts for well-being is not a matter of what we think about our lives, but of the quality of our emotional conditions. Yet our emotional lives are remarkably difficult to grasp. Moreover, we make a variety of systematic errors in the pursuit of happiness. These considerations suggest that we should rethink traditional assumptions about the good life and the good society. For instance, the pursuit of happiness may be primarily a matter of social context rather than personal choice. This book offers an extensive guide to philosophical thinking about happiness and well-being, correcting serious misconceptions that have beset the literature. It will be a definitive resource for philosophers, social scientists, policymakers, and other students of well-being.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Chen, Chao-Hsiu, PUBLISHER: Connections Book Publishing, A modern telling of a traditional Chinese Buddhist parable, The Master is an account of the wanderings of an enlightened monk and his pupil. It will appeal to readers not just for its rendition of Buddhist themes, but also for the insights it gives into ancient Chinese daily life. In the story, the pupil is presented as an ingenuous youngster eager to acquire wisdom, but subject to all the faults, impatience, and lack of understanding of youth. As the two travel, they encounter sages and tempters, emperors and beggars, each of whom offer lessons for the pupil on his path to Enlightenment. The book's style is poetic, especially in its descriptions of the natural world, and its unstructured style is ideal for browsing. Wherever it opens the reader will find something thought-provoking in the insightful narrative: -- Everything is tasty when it is prepared with respect and eaten with gratitude. -- Each house was crowned by a golden roof. -- The path is in yourself. A book for students of Buddhism and seekers of any kind, The Master is both a source of inspiration and a literary delight.
