Who would have thought that 452 years ago, the 37-year-old Montaigne lived in seclusion for ten years, and the life feelings, thoughts and insights written down in his castle could become a new genre that would influence the world and become the originator of the essay world.
For more than 400 years, countless famous artists were obsessed with his essays.

◎ Delier pointed out: "He is good at talking like a philosopher and talking like a friend. ”
Nietzsche: "The world's enthusiasm for life is greatly enhanced by the writing of such a person."
We are familiar with Shakespeare, Bacon, Goethe, Schiller, the great literary hero Voltaire, Stendhal, the philosopher Montesquieu, Nietzsche... He treated his essays like pillow books.
Unrestrained writing, simple and unpretentious language, talk about daily life, traditional customs, interpersonal communication, reading and thinking, and philosophy of life.

"Well read and well understood" was my first impression of Montaigne's essays.
Flipping through the pages of the book, golden sentences everywhere, miraculously, each sentence can poke into my own heart, and even become the words of my friends.
◎ Everything in the world, think too much, but confused.
◎ A happy marriage should be made between a blind woman and a deaf man.
◎ Sitting on the highest throne in the world can only rely on your own ass.
After reading the passages, you will become more and more immersed in his charm: his profound knowledge, his wisdom, his honesty...
As Zhou Guoping said: Reading his essays, I really feel that I am listening to a wise man talking, his mentality is peaceful and open-minded, and his insights are plain and profound.
He talks about human nature, deep and gentle, making people think about it carefully, and it is difficult not to nod his head in agreement.
◎ Everyone has weaknesses, and weaknesses are the true human nature, so the weaknesses of human nature should be forgiven;
◎ Human nature is originally ordinary, so to admit the ordinary, accept the ordinary, no one should pretend.
You see, we are always wondering about the obscurity and contradictions of human nature, and we often forget that we are just ordinary people, and it is normal to have human ills, and we do not have to be too harsh on ourselves.
He talks about interpersonal communication and dealing with people, and frankly says that he has two magic weapons - no asking for people and less nosy.
Although this seems a bit negative, but think about it is also a practical wisdom in dealing with the world, interpersonal troubles, most of them do not come from having to ask for people and being nosy?
Read slowly, you will find that these essays even constitute a "big encyclopedia" -
◎ Talk about education: how to conform to the guidance of children's nature
◎ Talking about management: on a flaw in our governance; the speed and slowness of speech, exaggeration...
◎ Speaking of psychology: why do we cry and laugh for the same thing? Happiness cannot be determined until after death
◎ Talk about culture: clothing habits, ancient customs, ancient frugality...
Write down these aspects, and you will be amazed by his profound knowledge and will love his sincerity even more:
He would love to explain to you all the questions of life related to you in these three volumes of essay collections.
As an ordinary person, how can we live an ordinary life, how to live comfortably, and be happy just right... You can find the most accurate answers to these questions in his collection of essays.

Not necessarily, 15-year-old youth, you may be able to read how to read; in the prime of life, you may be able to read gentle and peaceful wisdom, middle-aged confusion may also be solved by his three words and two words...
