It is about becoming happier. Why? Because many people ask me, "So Tal, are you happy?"
而是關(guān)于變得更幸福 為什么? 因?yàn)楹芏嗳藛?wèn)我 "那么Tal 你幸福嗎?"
And I can't really answer that question. I don't know what it means. How do I determine whether or not I am happy?
我真的不能回答那個(gè)問(wèn)題 我不知道那是什么意思 我如何判斷自己是否幸福?
Is it compared to someone else? Is there a certain point beyond which I become happy? Happiness is not a binary either-or, zero-one--
是和別人比較? 是不是存在一個(gè)點(diǎn) 超過(guò)之后就變幸福了? 幸福不是二進(jìn)制的非此即彼 0或1
Either I'm happy or I'm unhappy. Happiness resides on a continuum. So my answer to this question-- "am I happy?"
要么幸福要么不幸福 幸福存在于一個(gè)連續(xù)統(tǒng)一體 所以我對(duì)這個(gè)問(wèn)題的回答-- "我幸福嗎?"
Is today I'm happier than I was 15 years ago when I started focusing on this pursuit. 15 years from now I certainly hope to be happier than I am today. Happiness is lifelong pursuit.
我今天是否比我15年前剛開(kāi)始關(guān)注幸福時(shí)更幸福 15年后我當(dāng)然希望自己能比今天幸福 幸福是終身的追求
Hopefully this class is part of that pursuit, but just part. You'll not be happy at the end of class.
希望本課程是這種追求的一部分 但只是一部分 你們不會(huì)在課結(jié)束時(shí)幸福
Hopefully you'll be happier. Cos many people sit here during the lectures on self-esteem, for example, or when we talk explicitly about happiness.
希望你們能比現(xiàn)在幸福 因?yàn)楹芏嗳俗谶@聽(tīng)有關(guān)自尊的講座時(shí) 比如 或者當(dāng)我們明確地討論幸福時(shí)
They say, "Wait. Do I have self-esteem?"-- Thinking to themselves. "Do I have high self-esteem or low self-esteem?" Irrelevant.
他們說(shuō) "等等 我的自尊心強(qiáng)嗎?" 他們自己想到 "我的自尊是較強(qiáng)的還是較弱的?"
Impossible to answer also. The question is "how can I improve my self-esteem, my healthy self-esteem.
這也是沒(méi)有意義 無(wú)法回答的 問(wèn)題是"我如何能提高我的自尊 我健康的自尊
Not narcissism of course? How can I become happier?" That's an important question.
而當(dāng)然不是自戀? 我怎樣才能變得幸福?" 那是一個(gè)重要的問(wèn)題
And this is the question of questions. This class is not a survey of positive psychology. If you want a survey on positive psychology.
這是問(wèn)題的問(wèn)題 本課程不是一個(gè)積極心理學(xué)的概論 如果你想要關(guān)于積極心理學(xué)的概論
I can recommend some excellent textbooks whether it's by Lopez (Shane J. Lopez) or by Peterson (Chris Peterson). Great textbooks. There is also The Handbook of Positive Psychology
我可以推薦一些很不錯(cuò)的課本 Lopez或是Peterson的書(shū) 很不錯(cuò)的課本 還有一本積極心理學(xué)手冊(cè)
Which is a huge book with most what you want to know about this field. You can also use it in self-defense. Very useful in that respect.
一本很厚的書(shū) 里面有這個(gè)領(lǐng)域里大多數(shù)你想知道的內(nèi)容 你也可以用它自衛(wèi) 自衛(wèi)非常管用
