Or let's say habit you want to introduce is you know, I want to introduce spirituality to my life.
或者你想培養的習慣是我希望人生的精神層面更豐富
Or change could be "I want to be happier".
改變也可以是"我想更快樂"
I want to experience less anxiety. General anxiety or specific anxiety, before tests.
我希望不要那么焦慮。一般的焦慮或者特定的焦慮，例如考前
Whatever the change you want to introduce to in your life, there are certain patterns, certain approaches that work, certain approaches that don't work.
不論你希望生活有什么樣的改變，總有一定的模式和方法行之有效，另一些方法行之無效
What we are going to do next two classes, two and a half classes is differentiate what works and what dosen't so that you can apply it to your life.
未來兩堂課我們要做的是兩堂半課，是區分哪些行之有效，哪些行之無效，以便讓你們將之應用于生活
So first of all, we've talked a lot about change. Let's recap some of the things that we discussed.
首先，關于改變，我們談過很多。讓我們來回顧一下曾經討論過的問題
First of all, on the second class we already mentioned this, that change is hard. And there are a lot of studies to show how hard change is.
首先，在第二堂課上，我們已經提到改變很難。很多研究都證明了改變有多難
The twin research. Remember the conclusion. Try and change your happiness is as difficult and futile as trying to change your height.
雙胞胎研究，還記得結論嗎？嘗試改變快樂水平，如同試圖改變身高一樣徒勞
Now even though they went back on their word and they said "well it's not really impossible and futile",
雖然他們后來也說，"不一定是不可能和徒勞的"
still what they did show in their studies is that it is very hard The twin studies. Happiness is a stochastic phenomenon.
但他們的研究證明了很難做到，雙胞胎研究，快樂是一種隨機現象
Then Daniel Gilbert's work on affective forecasting.
還有丹尼爾·吉爾伯特的關于有效預測的研究
Yeah we experience it an up after we get tenure or after we get into Harvard, and we experience a down when we are rejected by whatever it is.
在哈佛得到終身職位，或考入哈佛后，我們的幸福感上升，當我們遭到拒絕時，經歷下行
But then very quickly we go back up to our base level of wellbeing.
但很快我們又恢復到幸福感的基準線上
And most of our life looks like this around this straight base level. It's very difficult to get an upward trajectory.
人生的多數時候，幸福感都是在基準線上下波動，獲得上升拋物線很難
It's possible through coping for example, but it's difficult.
通過去面對可能做到，但很難
