为什么值得读
- 毛姆的代表作，深入探讨人生的真正意义
- 揭示顺从激情是枷锁、运用理智才是自由
- 深刻改变对人类思维与心理认知的文学经典
《Of Human Bondage》是对孤独、执念般的爱情以及一位年轻人探求人生意义与方向的动人探索。小说采用第三人称叙述，讲述了患有马蹄内翻足且敏感内向的孤儿 Philip Carey 学医的经历。这不仅是教养小说（Bildungsroman）传统中的一部重磅杰作，其浓厚的自传色彩也让它在结合 Somerset Maugham 数十年享誉全球的背景下，展现出非同寻常的研究价值。

虚构类：毛姆的《人性的枷锁》和陀思妥耶夫斯基的《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》不相上下。非虚构类：贾雷德·戴蒙德的《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》。商业类：Jason Fried 的《Rework》——很久没读过这么好的书了
Fiction: tie between Of Human Bondage by W.Somerset Maugham or The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky Non-Fiction: Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond Business: Rework by Jason Fried - one of the best in a long time
如果你喜欢《刀锋》，我强烈推荐毛姆的代表作《人性的枷锁》（Of Human Bondage）。那本书彻底把我震撼了。
If you liked Razor's Edge I would highly recommend Maugham's magnus opus, Of Human Bondage. That book blew me away.
……《道德书简》（塞涅卡）。追求快乐毫无意义，把精力放在追求智慧上。《穷查理宝典》（查理·芒格）。脑子里装一套思维模型库能让你受益终生。《人性的枷锁》（毛姆）。人生的意义何在？
…from a Stoic (Seneca). The pursuit of happiness is meaningless, focus on the pursuit of wisdom. Poor Charlie's Almanac (Charles T. Munger). A library of mental/thinking models can take you a long way. Of Human Bondage (Maugham). What is the meaning of life?
《正义之心》里也深入讨论过这一点。值得一读。另外，我也很喜欢毛姆在《人性的枷锁》里的见解：臣服于激情即为人之枷锁，而践行理性方得人之自由。https://www.amazon.com/Righteous-Mind-Divided-Politics-Relig... https://www.amazon.com/Of-Human-Bondage/dp/B004N59WMK/
This point was also deliberated in "The Righteous Mind". May be worth a read. Plus, I like the observation from Maugham's Of Human Bondage: The submission to passion is human bondage, but the exercise of reason is human liberty. https://www.amazon.com/Righteous-Mind-Divided-Politics-Relig... https://www.amazon.com/Of-Human-Bondage/dp/B004N59WMK/
……因为它是敲开心理学和精神分析大门的一本书，极大改变了我对人类思维方式的看法。在经典虚构小说里，目前读过最棒的是：德莱塞的《堡垒》、毛姆的《人性的枷锁》、托尔斯泰的《克罗采奏鸣曲》，以及左拉的《杰作》与《萌芽》。
…because it opened up a world of psychology and psychoanalysis and significantly altered my view on how humans think. Among the classic fiction the best so far were: T. Dreiser - The Bulwark, S. Maugham - Of Human Bondage, L. Tolstoy - The Kreutzer Sonata and E. Zola - l'Oeuvre & Germinal.
我甚至不确定要是现在重读还会不会喜欢，但 21 岁时读《人性的枷锁》确实让我重新反思了自己的大半人生，并做出了一些影响深远的改变（比如结束了一段不健康的关系，决定在业余时间学门实用技能（编程），而……
I'm not even sure if I would like it if I were to reread it today, but reading Of Human Bondage when I was 21 led me to rethink a lot of my life and make some pretty impactful changes (e.g., got out of an unhealthy relationship, decided to pick up a practical skill (programming) on the side while…
