……被广泛阅读，并在人们的日常生活中身体力行。斯多葛学派、大多数宗教、世俗人文主义等等也是如此。这更有理由去广泛涉猎了！我还想推荐《大脑深处的大象》（Simler/Hanson），它综合了现有的研究，展示了人们不仅仅是对自己的真实动机一无所知——相反，他们是在主动欺骗自己这些动机是什么，以此来……
…is read widely and taken up by people in their day-to-day lives. Same goes for the stoics, most religions, secular humanism, and so on. All the more reason to read widely!
