9、ragraphs 4-5 the author offers his solutionto cultivate genuine interests, and introduces in detail the specific remedies for such self-centered passions as the sense of sin, self-pity and fear.,Section 2: Global Reading,Structural Analysis,Main Idea,Section 3: Detailed Reading,1 Happiness, as is ev
10、ident, depends partly upon external circumstances and partly upon oneself. We have been concerned in this volume with the part which depends upon oneself, and we have been led to the view that so far as this part is concerned, the recipe for happiness is a very simple one. It is thought by many, amo

15、services of a psychiatrist, but can in ordinary cases be cured by the patient himself, provided he sets about the matter in the right way.,Section 3: Detailed Reading,Where outward circumstances are not definitely unfortunate, a man should be able to achieve happiness, provided that his passions and
16、 interests are directed outward, not inward. It should be our endeavor therefore, both in education and in attempts to adjust ourselves to the world, to aim at avoiding self-centered passions and at acquiring those affections and those interests which will prevent our thoughts from dwelling perpetually upon ourselves. It is not the nature of most men to be happy in a prison, and the passions which shut us up in ourselves constitute one of the worst kinds of prisons.,Section 3:
