So the conventional question, the traditional psychologist question was "why are so many people stressed?" An important question, good question, question that yielded many great answers but not enough.
傳統的問題,傳統的心理學家會問“為什么這么多人壓力過大?”這是非常重要的,非常好的問題,能夠引出很多好的回答,但仍然不夠
And then positive psychologists came in.
然后積極心理學出現了
And what they did was ask also the positive question. Just like when we talked about the research with at risk population. Just like Marva Collins asked a different question. Because questions open up avenues, quests that we may have not seen before.
而他們所做的是,同樣問一些積極的問題,就像我們在講到關于危險人群的研究時說過,就像瑪瓦·科林斯曾經問過一個不一樣的問題。因為問題能打開思路,探索我們之前可能沒有見過的東西

And the question became "what do those who were successful and able to lead a healthy and happy life do?"
這樣問題就變成“那些成功的過著健康快樂生活的人是怎么做的?”
In other words, focusing on what works. In other words, focusing on tip of the stem. Because while most people are stressed, not all of them are.
換句話說,關注起作用的事物,也就是關注莖尖端的芽。因為雖然很多人都壓力過大,但不是所有人都這樣
There are people who are able to be successful and at the same time, lead a health and happy life. What do they do? What is it about them?
有一些人能夠很成功,同時過著健康和快樂的生活。他們是怎么做的?他們做了些什么?
Here is what they do. What was found was that there are some distinguishing characteristics—two of them: they set rituals for themselves and we talked about rituals in the past; the second thing that they do—and this is what I'm going to elaborate on now—the second thing that they do, in addition to having rituals, whether it's a lot of rituals, or few rituals, depending on individual needs and differences.
他們是這樣做的。人們發現他們有一些特別的特質,有兩點:他們為自己建立例行公事,我們之前講過例行公事的。第二件事也就是我現在要詳細講的,他們所做的第二件事,除了建立例行公事,不管是很多的例行公事還是寥寥幾件,視乎個人需要和個人差異
