Share "Less is More" this week-this is a book to teach yourself to bring happiness to yourself.

After reading it, people have an impulse to immigrate to Northern Europe (just an idea, China is the safest place during the epidemic). This book is actually a book that explains the definition of "happiness" in the new era, conveys a new value and introduces a new way of life.

Happiness is to simplify the complex, have the freedom to choose actively, not be bound by material things, and pay more attention to spiritual experience, ability improvement and self-growth than pursuing material things.

The era of obtaining happiness through material things has passed.

The pursuit of material things in life is nothing more than the influence of advertisements, propaganda and other businesses, or vanity, comparison psychology and consumption contagion are at work and passively cater to them. In fact, the judgment of beauty or practicality is inaccurate, even inaccurate. Because they don't have the ability of independent thinking and active discrimination, most people passively cater to them. The happiness gained from physical objects is short-lived and empty, but the valuable experience and knowledge gained from it will remain in our lives forever. As Li Xiaolai said, seven years is one year. It takes seven years to acquire a new skill, which will open a new door to life and a Xinsheng Duan. This kind of experience can't be brought by matter.

I can also feel the change of my mind in recent years. After moving several times, I will find that there are really many useless things at home, and I will begin to contact the concept of breaking up. Pursuing material things is really tiring.

Happiness is doing what you want to do.

First, we need to know what we want. Our pursuit should not be restricted or bound by old common sense and rules. Because this common sense is often used to bind the ignorant, the ignorant will lose themselves in it, the wise will break it to gain more freedom, and freedom can bring more and longer happiness. We live in a pluralistic era, and we don't have to be influenced by the values of others, and we don't have to care about what the small world thinks of you. We should evaluate the broader environment.

The feeling of happiness is similar, but the way of happiness can be varied. In the book "Less is More", Honda Naoki lists ten conditions for happiness in the new era, including the intimate relationship between work and life, and so on. At the same time, he put forward 18 suggestions, and I summarized three important references:

1. Break free

In recent years, this practice has received great attention. We decisively removed those items that occupied the space for many years, but basically did not play a role. We have learned to store and arrange all kinds of articles in our daily life, and only keep those core and functional parts.

The same is true for sorting things out, and changing your mind also applies to breaking up. Changing the idea of "wanting everything" is actually asking yourself to grasp the core, know what is important and what should be done first, and spend the main energy on the most important things.

2. Develop and resume business.

Slash youth is now a hot word. They are not satisfied with the "single occupation" lifestyle, but choose a diversified life with multiple occupations and identities and cross-border survival in different fields.

There are many ways to get happiness. In today's increasingly diversified life, we should learn to actively cultivate and create various happy lifestyles in our spare time.

For example, your job is a programmer, you like reading and writing, and you are very willing to share what you have learned with others. Then in your spare time, you can use the online platform or community to write down your reading experience and publish it to more partners through the network. During this time in the evening, your value needs to help others grow are met, and happiness will naturally appear.

Returning to work can not only enhance the sense of value, but also increase knowledge and exercise personal ability.

3. Be brave in trying

We always hope to get surprises and yearn for happiness from heaven. We always feel that happiness is far away, but we ignore the small but certain happiness around us. Creating and embracing small wealth is an important source of happiness.

You can start with what you are interested in. Interest is the best teacher and the core motivation for you to do something. When we are immersed in interest, it is easy to enter the state of "flow", that is, we often say that we devote ourselves wholeheartedly and forget the time and the noise around us. Only our own consciousness is free and agile.

Start with what you do best. Everyone has advantages, even ordinary people will have their own characteristics. Some people write, some exercise, some read and some give speeches. The most sure thing can enhance self-confidence, improve self-efficacy, make people feel control over the surrounding environment, and make it easier to get a happy experience.

The author also puts forward some suggestions on how to change ideas and determine goals, and finally puts forward some suggestions. Some people say that this is a chicken soup book, and I think this is a trend.
