King Midas, like many people, believed that he could achieve happiness if he amassed countless wealth. So, he prayed to the gods, and they granted him the ability to turn everything he touched into gold. However, Midas soon regretted it, because when he wanted to eat or drink, everything he touched would turn to gold, and he could not swallow his food. In the end, he starved to death in a heap of gold. In an age of abundance, the pursuit of happiness has become the goal of most peopleās lives. We always believe that as long as we have enough money and a high social status, we can find happiness. Is this true? Hedonists still feel empty after engaging in self-indulgence, and those who seek fame and fortune do not get a sense of security from money and power. Many people live in good conditions, but still suffer from anxiety. On the other hand, there are then people who have a great passion for work and life, and who are very focused in what they do. Wherever they are, they can always enjoy themselves and successfully find amusement in their surroundings. You must be wondering why there are such differences between people, and what kind of philosophy do those who have a great passion for life follow? All your questions can be found in the book āFlow: The Psychology of Optimal Experienceā. After reading this book, you will have a deeper understanding of happiness, and you can even become a happier person. Based on the results of a long-term and large-scale study, the author pioneered the groundbreaking theory of āflowā and pointed out that the key to happiness is to obtain the optimal experience. |
