Originally published in 1988, Anthony Storr's enlightening meditation on the creative individual's need for solitude has become a classic."Solitude" was seminal in challenging the established belief that "interpersonal relationships of an intimate kind are the chief, if not the only, source of human happiness." Indeed, most self-help literature still places relationships at the center of human existence. Lucid and lyrical, Storr's book cites numerous examples of brilliant scholars and artists -- from Beethoven and Kant to Anne Sexton and Beatrix Potter -- to demonstrate that solitude ranks alongside relationships in its impact on an individual's well-being and productivity, as well as on society's progress and health. But solitary activity is essential not only for geniuses, says Storr; the average person, too, is enriched by spending time alone.For fifteen years, readers have found inspiration and renewal in Storr's erudite, compassionate vision of human experience.

幸福是什么?是两个相爱的人相互贴近时的温暖吧,也可以是,凉爽的夏夜,独自一人,置于浩瀚夜空之下的畅快吧。 当我们无法从人际交往中获得我们想要的东西,人类就会把自己的真心埋葬起来,带上虚伪的假面面对他人;而在寂静的夜里,在孤独一人的时候,把自己的真心打开,敞亮...
评分 评分 评分周国平是我认识的哲学家里对孤独很有见地的一位,读罢此书让我更加确定内向者孤独的意义。 正如书中所说,人是社会性的动物,离不开他人的陪伴和情感支持。但周国平认为,亲密关系的构建并不是人类幸福快乐的唯一源泉和决定因素,书中列举了很多大人物都拥有孤僻的性格,这样使...
Solitude is therefore never dreadful again. Very helpful to me, personally.
