Krátky popis
'Pain is bad, right? In this fascinating book, Brock Bastian will
convince you otherwise. Drawing on both vivid everyday examples and
surprising laboratory findings, he shows how pain, suffering, and
struggle give us pleasure, make us kinder, focus our thoughts, and
give our life meaning' Paul Bloom, author of Against EmpathyIn
today's culture, happiness has become the new marker of success,
while hardships are viewed as personal weaknesses, or problems to
be fixed. We increasingly try to eradicate pain through medication
and by insulating ourselves from risk and offence, despite being
the safest generation to have ever lived.Yet in his research,
renowned social psychologist Brock Bastian has found that suffering
and sadness are neither antithetical to happiness nor incidental to
it: they are a necessary ingredient for emotional well-being.
Drawing on psychology, neuroscience and internationally acclaimed
findings from Bastian's own lab, The Other Side of Happiness
encourages us to take a more fearless approach to living. The most
thrilling moments of our lives are often balanced on a knife edge
between pleasure and pain, whether it is finding your true love,
holding your new-born for the first time, finishing a marathon or
even plunging into an icy sea.This is because pain and the threat
of loss quite literally increase our capacity for happiness, as
Bastian reveals, making us stronger, more resilient, more connected
to other people and more attuned to what truly matters. Pain even
makes us more mindful, since in our darkest moments we are
especially focused and aware of the world around us. Our addiction
to positivity and the pursuit of pleasure is actually making us
miserable.Brock Bastian shows that, without some pain, we have no
real way to achieve and appreciate the kind of happiness that is
true and transcendent. 'Brock Bastian skilfully shatters the
zeitgeist of positive thinking, showing how struggle and suffering
are vital elements of a life well lived'Adam Grant, author of
ORIGINALS and OBTION B with Sheryl Sandberg'If you're tired of all
the simple minded books telling you to just cheer up and be happy,
this is the book for you!' Roy F. Baumeister, author of WILLPOWER:
REDISCOVERING THEGREATEST HUMAN STRENGTH 'Explains why hardship
sometimes yields richer lives that are laden with meaning, deep
social connections, and unexpected bliss.A beautifully written and
important book that should be required reading for anyone who's
ever wondered why well-being so oftenflourishes in unexpected
places' Adam Alter, author of DRUNK TANK PINK
