This will lead to happiness. 一本自助类图书的序言几乎总会吐露出书中的讯息：在接下来的章节中，作为读者的你将学习如何获得晋升，给人留下更好的第一印象，挽救婚姻或降低胆固醇的技巧，本书将为你铺就一条通往幸福的康庄大道云云。 The Antidote diverges from this theme. In the first chapter, author Oliver Burkeman explains that after years of reporting on the field of psychology, he has concluded that the effort to try to feel happy is often precisely the thing that makes us miserable. Armed with this thesis, Burkeman sets out to explore various alternatives to this effort, which he calls the negative paths to happiness. 但《解毒剂：无法忍受积极思维的人如何获得幸福》（ The Antidote: Happiness For People Who Cant Stand Positive Thinking）一书与这类主题背道而驰。在第一章中，作者奥利弗?伯克曼解释称，在从事了多年心理学领域的报道之后，他得出了一项结论：“很多情况下，为获得幸福感而付出的努力恰恰使我们陷入痛苦之中。”秉持这个观点，伯克曼着手探索各种不同于这种努力的替代方案，他将其称为通往幸福的消极路径。 He asks questions. Are these negative paths too extreme for the average person to implement? Can a successful reorientation to a negative path be achieved gradually (I will try to accept humiliation as inevitable), or does it have to be sudden and drastic (I will actively humiliate myself, over and over, in order to diminish my ego)? 他问了一些问题。于普通人而言，这些消极路径是否太过极端，以至于难以付诸行动？成功地重新定位至一条消极路径能否逐步实施（被人羞辱估计是不可避免的，我已准备好了）？它是否肯定会是突然而剧烈的（我将积极且反复地羞辱我自己，以减少我的自我意识）？ The Antidote has been reviewed several times over the course of the past few months. In an effort to separate my review from the others, Im tempted to talk about myself. Like many recent college graduates working as underpaid interns, I sometimes feel out-of-sorts. Reading this book on my morning commute convinced me that failure is both inevitable and beneficial. But to dwell on my personal circumstances would be to fall into a trap that this book manages, effortlessly, to avoid. 过去几个月以来，
