书评

This collection is a masterclass in economy of words. Bacon says more in a paragraph than most authors do in a chapter. His thoughts on success, morality, and happiness are sharp, unapologetic, and deeply human—no lofty theories, just hard-earned truth. Even when his views feel dated, the way he articulates human nature remains brilliant. It’s a quick read, but one that lingers, making you rethink your own choices. A gem for anyone who values smart, no-nonsense writing.
