The word prehistoric seems to imply barbarism, while science, clearly enough, seems the outgrowth of civilization; but rightly considered, there is no contradiction.

追求幸福是每個人一生都在學習的功課。我們都希望成為更好的人，收穫個人的幸福，並有能力使他人更快樂。本書將這種獲得幸福的能力，視為可以分析和學習的「科學」，作者認為幸福首先建立在生物層面的法則之上，即健康的身體通常是心智健全的基礎，包括注意飲食、鍛煉身體、注重睡眠等；此外還應注意生理學家們提出的一些最基本法則，進行記憶訓練，更好地發揮思考的能力與意志的能力；最後，每個個體的幸福，都可以透過不斷與更多的人達成同情與理解、踐行利他主義，來實現最終的成果。【作者簡介】亨利‧史密斯‧威廉（Henry Smith Williams，1863—1943）美國作家、哲學家、醫生、律師。代表作有《歷史學家的世界史》、《現代醫學史》、《鳥的生活》、《論文明》、《幸福的科學》等。
