"The Road to Happiness" is a classic work by Nobel Prize winner Russell. Russell uses profound and simple words to analyze the reasons why we are unhappy and points out the road to happiness. He summarizes his own observations, experiences and proven suggestions. He does not rely on fantasy or empty talk. He interprets the happiness index from a psychological and philosophical perspective around what happiness is and what high-quality happiness is, so that readers can appreciate the true meaning of happiness from the philosophical stories told and bring a meaningful "happiness class" to readers. The author provides real human experience support for every point in the book, which is clear, frank and sincere. Einstein said: "Reading Russell's works was the happiest time of my life."
Reader comments
I discovered this book after watching teacher Xiaoyan's videos. At that time, my mentality was not very good and I felt that life was boring. I heard that this is a book that can increase the happiness of ordinary people, so I came to read it and understand it. What makes me feel the most is that most of life is a very dull time. All we can do is endure boredom, enrich ourselves, find interests, open our minds and let the wind from any corner of the world blow in. Troubles will make you restless in your heart, but they are so insignificant when viewed in the universe. In this case, why not experience it to the fullest and take everything lightly...
I like what the book says: Only because life is limited, the joy of life will always appear fresh. A happy person will never feel the pain of these two separations. His personality neither splits to fight himself nor splits to fight the world. Such a person only feels that he is a citizen of the universe, freely enjoying the colors and joys provided by the world, and is not confused by the thought of death, because he feels that he is not really separated from the people who come after him. Only by being deeply integrated with the flow of life can the highest and greatest joy be found.
I don't know why, but Fu Lei's translated works are quite "difficult" to read! , Some sentences have to be read several times to understand their meaning!
A beggar will not be jealous of a millionaire, but he will certainly be jealous of a beggar who earns more.
How to find inner peace and contentment?
How to find a path to happiness?
How can we avoid jealousy and self-pity?
In modern society, people often work hard to surpass others, but forget the essence of life. An excessive sense of competition destroys happiness and plunges people into endless anxiety and fatigue.
At the same time, people are often overly self-absorbed, overly concerned about their own misfortune, or too concerned about the gains of others, resulting in jealousy.
What's the secret to happiness?
You can cultivate a wide range of interests and hobbies to give your mind more sustenance;
When we devote ourselves to the things we love, we can forget our worries and experience true happiness;
Moderately reducing self-focus, learning to care for others, and integrating into society can also bring us happiness.
Maintain inner peace and rationality, and face setbacks and difficulties in life without excessive anxiety and fear, but with a peaceful mind. (Nothing serious except death)
Happiness is the legitimate goal of life and an important goal of human life. Everyone has the right to pursue and enjoy happiness.
[Three core questions]
1. What are the obstacles to happiness?
: Wrong values, excessive self-esteem, worry and fear are all major obstacles to happiness.
(For example, a person pays too much attention to his own misfortune and is immersed in the pain of the past and cannot extricate himself; another example is a person who always complains about the unsatisfactory work but does not actively seek solutions and is immersed in negative emotions all day long and unable to feel the happiness in life)
2. How to cultivate interest in life?
: Pay attention to the outside world, develop interests and hobbies, and establish good relationships with others.
(Love of life and interest in life require us to cultivate little by little, gradually discover the beauty in life, and be grateful for everything we experience in life)
3. How closely does happiness relate to material wealth?
: Material wealth is not the decisive factor of happiness, but a certain material foundation can provide guarantee for happiness; excessive pursuit of material wealth may make people fall into anxiety and stay away from happiness.
(Money and happiness are not bound together. Although some people are very rich, they neglect their family and health because they are busy making money; there are also people who, although not rich in material life, have a harmonious family and have their own hobbies.)

1. A beggar will not be jealous of a millionaire, but he will definitely be jealous of a beggar with a higher income.
2. Most worries can be alleviated by realizing that the things that cause anxiety are not important.
3. The secret of happiness is: try to expand the scope of your interests and be as friendly as possible to the people and things you are interested in.
4. A typical unhappy person sacrifices his feelings in exchange for money when he is young and sacrifices money in exchange for feelings when he is old.
5. As long as animals are not sick and have enough food, they will be happy and content. So should people.
This book is suitable for repeated chewing. The author discusses the source of happiness and the basis of its source from many aspects, such as: love, work, family... Etc. Only because life is limited, the joy of life will always appear fresh. You can get many ways to make yourself happy from books. You can also learn a lot of philosophical principles. For example: Rivers all flow into the sea, but the sea is not full; rivers come from where they came from, but they still go to where they came from. This sentence touches me the most. Will give it a second try if I have a chance.
Some chapters are very good, profound and easy to understand, but some chapters are difficult to understand and the language is not easy to understand. But overall it is a good book. In a few places, I felt that my thinking became clearer after reading it.
After reading the first chapter, I didn't understand much, but I was very shocked. If I want to fully understand the first chapter, I have to read it several times. I hope I can gain a lot after reading this book.
This book is simply a distilled essence, drawing universal truths from many things. Many sentences can be studied over and over again, even this book. Some of the previous content may be a bit obscure (I don't know if it's a translation problem or just the nature of it), but after this part the sentences become smooth and easy to read.
I think this book is very helpful in improving reading comprehension. As I read it, I was amazed at the author's thoughts. He is worthy of being a Nobel Prize winner in literature.
The happiness methods that can be applied in life are very rewarding and worth reading again and again!
Doing what you like is happiness, and the road to happiness is your own life, family, and children who are getting better and better. This is the road to happiness.
I just finished reading "All Philosophy is in Life", and I couldn't wait to open "The Road to Happiness". Still, I read it in one breath... Both books have deep links with all living beings. When they resonate with each other, they can't help but examine and reflect... It turns out that there is really a "road" to "happiness" in life.
The methodology of happiness.
A classic and legendary masterpiece
Just watched it for the first time and benefited a lot
Read, do, give feedback, correct
Sharp, very topical, worth watching
Translators incorporate too much of their own nature
Improved my ability to perceive happiness
It puts forward the reasons for unhappiness and happiness, which is very helpful to modern people. Modern people are under a lot of pressure and generally unhappy. I suggest you read this
