叙事改变人生 – Happy Ever After: Escaping The Myth of The Perfect Life by Paul Dolan

在日常生活中,充斥着大量的大众习以为常的、深刻影响大众认知和行为的“普遍共识”——“社会叙事”:我们应该事业有成、应该追寻真爱、应该养育孩子,等等。这些“美好生活的神话”对我们的所思所想、所作所为都做出了规范,无论我们是否喜欢,它们都会影响我们。有时它们确实能给生活提供指导,让我们活得更简单、轻松。

但作者对此进行了质疑——这些传统的“社会叙事”,本质上还是“故事”,并非源于现实生活中的真人真事。那么,对我们的观念和行为影响颇深的“社会叙事”有哪些?如何看清“社会叙事”的真相?作者从经济学、行为学、心理学、社会学的视角对此进行了开创性的研究,从“追求”“关系”“负责”三部分进行讲解,试图重塑人们对“社会叙事”的认知,并尖锐地指出:大众常常被默认为正确的“社会叙事”所欺骗和蒙蔽,从而不知不觉地陷入“叙事陷阱”——那些“社会叙事”可能是谎言。

作者对长期以来影响我们认知和行为的“社会叙事”传统观念进行了剖析,使我们得以反思和重新审视自己的观念,解放思想,并了解正确的认知和行为到底是什么,我们该怎么做才能生活得更幸福。

Paul Dolan, the bestselling author of Happiness by Design, shows us how to escape the myth of perfection and find our own route to happiness.

Be ambitious; find everlasting love; look after your health … There are countless stories about how we ought to live our lives. These narratives can make our lives easier, and they might sometimes make us happier too. But they can also trap us and those around us.

In Happy Ever After, bestselling happiness expert Professor Paul Dolan draws on a variety of studies ranging over wellbeing, inequality and discrimination to bust the common myths about our sources of happiness. He shows that there can be many unexpected paths to lasting fulfilment. Some of these might involve not going into higher education, choosing not to marry, rewarding acts rooted in self-interest and caring a little less about living forever.

By freeing ourselves from the myth of the perfect life, we might each find a life worth living.
