书籍简介

《纽约时报》畅销书作家、杜克大学教授凯特·鲍勒以深刻、幽默且充满人性化的笔触，阐述了快乐的真谛：快乐并不取决于一切是否好转。

“《无论如何，快乐》色彩斑斓、层次丰富，毫不避讳地展现了作者脆弱而真挚的情感——正如凯特·鲍勒本人一样。她不容忍愚蠢之人，尤其是那些盲目乐观的人。”——杰瑞·宋飞

“这本书将陪伴你度过人生中的种种难关。”——凯瑟琳·梅，《纽约时报》畅销书《冬日》作者

你不可能永远快乐，但你仍然可以快乐。

我们生活在一个被灌输追求幸福就能优化我们的身体、思想、人际关系和人生的文化中。然而，坏消息往往依然是坏消息：疾病、慢性疼痛、悲伤和失望并不会按照我们的时间表或愿景板来安排。我们不禁会问，如果我们做的一切都是正确的，为什么生活仍然如此艰难？

《无论如何，快乐》一书真诚而又令人心生温暖，它证明，体验快乐并不取决于解决生活中所有难题。凯特·鲍勒以十年与重病抗争的经历以及毕生对美国痴迷于进步的研究为基础，揭示了那些忙于追逐幸福的人们为何会错过真正的快乐。

快乐并非可以优化或人为制造的东西——它会在我们意料之外、生活打破我们既定剧本的时候悄然出现。《无论如何，快乐》为我们每个人心中都存在的痛楚提供了语言，并提出了“让自己置身于快乐之中”的练习：放下控制、拥抱新鲜事物、选择善意，并保持开放的心态去迎接那些令人惊喜、五彩斑斓的时刻，它们会将我们重新拉回生活的正轨。

快乐提醒我们，无论发生什么，生活依然值得热爱。因为每当我们问自己“这就是全部吗？”时，快乐都会回答：还有更多。

New York Times bestselling author and Duke University professor Kate Bowler offers a profound, funny, and deeply human case for joy that doesn’t depend on everything getting better.

“Joyful, Anyway is colorful and layered, unafraid of the occasional gut-punch of raw feeling and vulnerability—much like Kate Bowler herself. She suffers no fools, especially the toxic optimists.”—Jerry Seinfeld

“A book to take you through life’s aftermaths.”—Katherine May, New York Times bestselling author of Wintering

You can’t always be happy, but you can be joyful, anyway.

We live in a culture convinced that chasing happiness will optimize our bodies, our minds, our relationships, our lives. But in the meantime, bad news usually stays bad: illness, chronic pain, grief, and disappointment don’t obey our timelines or vision boards. We are left wondering why, if we’re doing everything right, life still feels so hard.

Honest and bracingly tender, Joyful, Anyway proves that experiencing joy does not depend on resolving everything that makes life difficult. Drawing on a decade of living with serious illness and a lifetime studying America’s obsession with progress, Kate Bowler shows why people so busy chasing happiness miss out on actual joy.

Joy isn’t something you can optimize or manufacture—it finds us at the edge of expectation, when life interrupts our scripts. Joyful, Anyway gives language for the ache we all carry and practices for “putting yourself in the way of joy”: loosening control, introducing novelty, choosing charity, and staying open to the surprising, technicolor moments that pull us back into life.

Joy reminds us that no matter what, life is still worth loving. For every time we ask is this it?, joy will answer: There is more.
