We don't think too much about sex; we're merely thinking about it in the wrong way.So asserts Alain de Botton in this rigorous and supremely honest book designed to help us navigate the intimate and exciting---yet often confusing and difficult---experience that is sex. Few of us tend to feel we're entirely normal when it comes to sex, and what we're supposed to be feeling rarely matches up with the reality. This book argues that twenty-first-century sex is ultimately fated to be a balancing act between love and desire, and adventure and commitment. Covering topics that include lust, fetishism, adultery, and pornography, Alain de Botton frankly articulates the dilemmas of modern sexuality, offering insights and consolation to help us think more deeply and wisely about the sex we are, or aren't, having.
Alain de Botton is the bestselling author of "How Proust Can Change Your Life, " as well as numerous other works of fiction and essays. He is well-known for making complex philosophical and artistic subjects accessible for a wider audience. De Botton founded the School of Life, a series of lectures in London that aim to make academic learning applicable to real life. With the success of the school, this concept was adapted into The School of Life book series. De Botton lives and works in London.
刚刚开始看,可能是一直对这个问题比较感兴趣的原因吧,让我看的很慢,一字一句的都要读到。 以前的中国,包括现在,对于性这个问题都是比较难以启齿的,其实这并没有什么值得羞愧的,只是我们长大成人后的一种生理需求或者说是对于精神归宿的一种渴望,就像书中说到的,因为孤...
評分文/空空 参考歌曲:吴克群《爱太痛》 读这本书的时候,我正在思念一个人。她略带微笑的脸庞,时不时地浮现在我的脑海中。“但凡未得到,但凡已失去,总是最登对”——我品味着这句话,也许有点道理。 我感冒了,精神上亦如此——这个时候,羞于被人看见——像没有化妆的二十几...
評分全篇有点杂糅,很多观点,比如偷情,不举我觉得难免解释的有点牵强。但是书中对中产阶级制造的婚姻观念还是值得一读的。万恶的中产,我总觉得我们能够接触到的社会,大部分情况下都是中产与中产的沟通,其实没有什么是不可解释的,更没有什么三观不合的,只是阶级的束缚让我们...

觀點挺有趣,但是全是作者一人瞎想,論據是幾乎沒有……但這段讓我眼前一亮:‘I promise to be disappointed by you and you alone. I promise to make you the sole repository of my regrets, rather than to distribute them widely through multiple affairs and a life of sexual Don Juanism. I have surveyed the different options for unhappiness, and it is you I have chosen to commit myself to.’
评分不是嚴謹的讀物,很多地兒有論點而無論據,但是作為一種角度來說,頗有可取之處。結語段落寫得很詩意。
评分又是一本可以直接跳過看conclusion的書,基本都在describe facts not much to take away.

评分已購。這本書有激發靈感的潛質!內容怎麼好像比中譯本多一點啊。。。
