The Geography of Bliss （9780446698894） 下载 极速 rtf epub 在线 word txt pdf

Part foreign affairs discourse, part humor, and part twisted self-help guide, The Geography of Bliss takes the reader from America to Iceland to India in search of happiness, or, in the crabby author's case, moments of "un-unhappiness." The book uses a beguiling mixture of travel, psychology, science and humor to investigate not what happiness is, but where it is. Are people in Switzerland happier because it is the most democratic country in the world? Do citizens of Qatar, awash in petrodollars, find joy in all that cash? Is the King of Bhutan a visionary for his initiative to calculate Gross National Happiness? Why is Asheville, North Carolina so damn happy? With engaging wit and surprising insights, Eric Weiner answers those questions and many others, offering travelers of all moods some interesting new ideas for sunnier destinations and dispositions.

性格外向的人要比内向的人幸福；乐观主义者比悲观主义者幸福；已婚人士比单身贵族幸福，但有无孩子和幸福与否无关；共和党人比民主党人幸福；宗教团体的成员比非宗教团体成员幸福；获得学位的人比没有学位的人幸福，但获得学士以上学位的人却不如只获得学士学位的人幸福,性生活频繁的人比性生活稀少的人幸福；男人和女人的幸福度一样，尽管女人的情绪波动更大；婚外恋情会带来快感，但抵不上配偶发现之后离你而去所带来的痛苦。上班族在上下班的途中心情最差；忙人比无所事事的闲人幸福；富人比穷人幸福，但只多出那么一点点。

每个文明都以幸福为贵，但侧重点有各有不同。东亚国家以和为贵，强调个人的社会责任，而非个人享受。也许，这些国家呈现出较低的幸福水平并非巧合。这种现象被称为：“东亚幸福鸿沟”

7

在自然状态（动物所处的状态和人类文明社会出现以前的状态）下，人本质上是好的，是“高贵的野蛮人”。好人被其社会经历所折磨和侵蚀。而社会的发展导致了人类不幸的继续。——卢梭

13

人类不该得到幸福，因为这...

“旅行”（travel）一词源于相同词根的“艰苦劳动”（travail），这是有道理的。

“是的，我幸福，不过我更珍视我的忧郁和伤感”。富有未必幸福，贫穷未必不幸福，幸福未必值得追求，快乐未必有意义。

他们直觉地懂得礼貌是使社会齿轮平稳转动的润滑剂。没有礼貌，零件就会开始互相摩擦、互相磨损

And while the Chinese may not venerate their old temples and houses, they do honor their dead. Ancestors worship is the Chinese way of staying connected to the past. Who are we to say that worshipping dead people is any better or worse than worshipping dead buildings.

＂亲口尝过，才知其味。＂古老的苏菲派箴言如是说。

世上最幸福的国家同时也拥有较高的自杀率。又如宗教团体成员比没有加入宗教团体的人幸福，但世上最幸福的国家中却无一是宗教国。

幸福感与刺激感之间的关系可以用倒U曲线来表示，暴饮暴食的人就不如懂得适可而止的人幸福。
