Even though I studied social psychology for many years and...
即便我學了很多年社會心理學……
I took time off, where I immersed myself in positive psychology material.
我會抽出點時間,將我自己沉浸于積極心理學的材料中
I read the handbook of positive psychology which is a very good weapon to use. If anyone comes close, you can just throw at them.
我讀了積極心理學手冊,這是個非常好的武器。如果有人接近,你可以用這個砸他
It's about this big. But very good. I read hundreds of academic journal articles. And then I took time off.
大概有這么厚,但是是很不錯的書。我讀了成百上千的學術文獻。然后我就抽出點時間
And during that time off, I talked about positive psychology, but I didn't work in positive psychology.
在那段時間,我談論積極心理學,但我不對此下太多功夫
I had conversation with my wife, with Phil Stone, with my brother about this.
我和我妻子聊,和菲利普·斯通聊,和我哥哥聊
And that's when the eurekas came.
正是這時靈光一現
That's when the insights came. I said, "OK so this is how the course is going to be built. This is the spiral. "
正是這時我頓悟了。我說"這門課就應該是這樣組織的。這就是那根螺旋"

Then I had the idea of PPEO, Post Peak Experience Order, as an idea, an ah ha moment.
然后我想到了PPEO,峰值后體驗,這樣的靈光一現
And afterwards, I evaluated it. I evaluated myself. I evaluated by talking to other people about it to see if it works
之后我就對其進行評估,我評估自身。我通過和他人交流來評估,看看它是不是真的有用,
and then I sat down and spent hours and hours and hours, writing out the lectures. All my lectures are written out.
然后我坐下來,花很多很多的時間把課的內容寫出來。每堂課都寫了出來,
Obviously I don't read them. But in preparation, when I prepare for the lectures, I do read them a few times.
顯然我沒有照本宣科。但在準備時,在我準備上課時,我確實會看幾遍
That was the elaboration. That is the creative process, whether it's putting together a class,
那就是詳細闡明,這就是創造的過程,不管是準備一門課
or putting together a great organization, of writing a great book or creating a great relationship.
或者運作一個機構,寫本好書,或者發展一段良好的關系
I'll see you next week. Have a wonderful weekend.
下周見,周末愉快
