大自然與演化機制並不在乎我們是否快樂，它只在乎我們是否能生存跟繁衍。一位父親給孩子的「五個寓言故事」&「六堂快樂智商課」〡一本書，雙向閱讀〡雙書封設計．雙面閱讀書〡>>中文世界第一本討論HQ快樂智商的書籍>>〔特殊雙書封‧中西式兩翻編排設計〕左翻給孩子的「五個寓言故事」〡右翻給父母的「六堂快樂智商課」>>「迷航系列」第三本書 《迷航烏托邦》描述了我在矽谷與台灣追逐夢想的經歷；《迷航遊樂園》則諷刺了那些令人搖頭的社會與競爭遊戲。 兩本書都是對世界荒謬的大哉問──希望用有趣的想像力刺激讀者的思考，對於答案，只點到為止。 但這本書不同。 我打算明確給出建立在科學根據上的答案，讓讀者有機會用更永續的方式享受自己的生活，也找到快樂的方法。>>HQ快樂智商 在人類快樂科學的範疇裡（人類快樂的科學），有個概念叫「錯誤的想要」（miswanting）」──由哈佛大學的丹尼爾．吉伯特（Daniel Gilbert）與維吉尼亞大學的提摩西．威爾遜（Timothy Wilson）在二○○○年左右提出。 簡單來說，就是我們會用像是永遠需要「更多、更好」等錯誤的常識，誤判什麼能帶給我們真正的快樂；同時也誤判這些「誤以為想要的東西」（「誤以為想要」）能帶給我們快樂的持久性。 常見的例子包括：盲目追求金錢、財富與名聲、過度消費物質產品、以為達到成功的目標就能快樂等等。這些「應該」追求的東西，不斷被網路上的影片放大。 極大化金錢、成功、愉悅，是否真的適合在我們的生活裡扮演終極目標的角色。 我並不是已經解決了我所有的焦慮與不快樂，但科學的指引的確讓我遠離了許多崩潰的邊緣。 這本書要做的，是點出這個世代最大的五個「錯誤的想要」陷阱，以及如何應對。 要有個快樂的人生，還是得靠我們自己。這一切，都得從理解開始。這本書寫給我還未出生的兒子，也寫給同樣面對孩子即將來到世界的父母。這是讀給孩子聽的第一本快樂科學書。讓他們的小赤腳，不會在人生路上踩得哇哇大叫。
