积极心理学记录片文本
《积极心理学》是一部心理学纪录片,也称《哈佛幸福课》,共20单集,每集70分钟。
该纪录片记录了哈佛大学的一门课程,教授认为幸福感是衡量人生的唯一标准,是所有目标的最终目标。
在第一集中,教授并没有直接为幸福下定义,而是认为每个人都是独立的个体,每个人都有重要的认识和见解,所以每个人追求的幸福肯定也是不同的。
教授还认为,人应该“拥抱静谧”,即给自己留出自省的时间,追问自己是否幸福、想要什么、如何变得幸福,并远离那些让自己不幸福的事物,这样才能向幸福靠近一步。
这部纪录片不仅揭示了积极心理学的核心内容,还探讨了如何实现幸福人生,对于那些对积极心理学感兴趣的人来说,是一部必看的影片。

哈佛大学幸福课讲义(中)第5章设定幸福目标--倾听心灵深处的声音在我16岁开始意识到追求幸福的重要性时,我所理解的真正幸福是我必须先到达一个无欲无求的境界--不再有需求与渴望,不再有使命与目标。
因为我曾经渴望的目标(比如赢得冠军)不但没有带给我幸福,反而让我苦恼,甚至几乎精神崩溃。
我用了几年的时间才发现,原来有目标并不是问题,关键是什么样的目标,以及那些目标在我生命中所扮演的角色。
时至今日我可以肯定地说,做一个幸福的人,必须要有一个明确的可以带来快乐和意义的目标,然后努力地去追求。
但在开始探索如何去设定一个适当的目标前,让我们看看目标与成功的关系。
目标与成功--为自己的承诺付诸行动从整体而言,有目标的人成功率要比没有目标的人大得多。
具有挑战性的明确的目标(设定了时限和具体的成果)通常会带来更好的表现。
设定目标就是用语言给自己一种承诺,而承诺本身会给我们带来更好的未来。
心理学已经证明了目标和成功之间的关系,这一点也已经被我们自身的经验所反复证明过。
在英语的语源学里,"concept"(概念)和"conceive"(构想)的关系并非偶然。
通过概念,通过语言,我们才能有所构思,新的真相才能显露。
在希伯来语的《圣经》里,上帝用语言创造了世界,他说让光明照耀这块大地吧,然后就有了阳光。
《约翰书》中开始的部分是:"原初,我们有的只是语言。
"同样美国也是以宣言的方式建国,通过语言表达了国家的目标、任务和价值观。
目标向我们及他人传达了一种克服困难的信念。
把你的生命想象为一个旅程,你背着背包前进,忽然,出现了一堵墙阻挡了你的去路,你该怎么办?你是转身避开,还是把你的背包扔到墙的另一头,然后想办法去穿过、绕过或是翻过它?1879年,托马斯·爱迪生(Thomas Edison)宣布,他会在年底公开展示电灯。
事实上他之前的实验都是失败的,但他的做法就好像把背包扔到了墙的另一头,虽然他还面临很多的问题,然而在那年的最后一天,他真的成功了。
Hi, good morning. It’s wonderful to be back here.各位,早上好。
很高兴能回到这里。
Wonderful to see you here.高兴见到你们。
I am teaching this class because I wish a class like this had been taught when I was sitting in your seat as an undergraduate here.我教授这门课是因为在我读本科阶段时非常希望能学习这样一门课程。
This does not mean it is a class you wish to be taught nor does it mean that it is the right class for you.可能这门课并不是你希望的那样也可能并不适合你。
But I hope to doing the next couple of lectures is giving you an idea what this class is about so that you can decide whether or not it is for you.但希望几堂课后,你能有个大概印象让你决定这门课程是否适合你。
I came here in 1992 and studied the computer science and concentrator.我1992年来到哈佛求学,一开始主修计算机科学。
And when I had I mini epiphany half way through my sophomore year.大二期间,突然顿悟了。
I realized that I was in a wonderful place with wonderful students around me, wonderful teachers.我意识到我身处让人神往大学校园周围都是出色的同学,优秀的导师。
哈佛大学幸福课观后感200字左右英文全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1My Thoughts on the Harvard Happiness ClassI had to write about the Harvard class on happiness for my English assignment. At first, I wasn't too excited because it sounded kind of boring. Like, a whole class just about being happy? That's easy - you just play video games and eat ice cream all day! But after watching the lectures, I learned there's a lot more to it than that.The professor, Dr. Lena, seems really nice. She has a friendly smile and explains things in a way that's easy to understand, even for a kid like me. She said that happiness isn't just a temporary feeling, but a longer-lasting state of being content and satisfied with your life. And it's not about just doing fun things, but building good habits and taking care of yourself.One of the first things she talked about was gratitude. She said we should practice being thankful for the good things we have, instead of constantly wanting more stuff. That makes sense because I'm always bugging my parents for the latest videogames and toys, but then I get bored of them pretty quickly. Maybe if I appreciated what I already have more, I'd be happier.Dr. Lena also talked about relationships being really important for happiness. Having friends, family, and people who care about you is one of the biggest keys to being truly happy. That's probably why my mom is always nagging me to spend less time on screens and more time with my friends and cousins. Grown-ups can be so annoying sometimes, but I guess she has a point!Another big part of the course was about living a meaningful life that is about more than just yourself. Helping others and being part of something bigger makes people way happier than just being selfish all the time. I could see how doing nice things for my friends and community would make me feel better than just keeping everything for myself. Sharing is caring as they say!The lectures also covered taking care of your body and mind through exercise, sleep, and relaxation. Dr. Lena said you can't be truly happy if you're a tired, stressed out couch potato. She used some fancy words I didn't fully understand, but the basic idea is: go outside, play sports, and chill out sometimes. No more endless videogame marathons for this kid!One of the last big ideas was about finding activities that really engage and absorb you - you know, that feeling when you get so into something that you lose track of time? Dr. Lena called it "flow" and said it's key for happiness. For me, that happens when I'm building cool new worlds in Minecraft or coming up with funny stories with my friends. Maybe I need to find more creative hobbies like that instead of just zoning out in front of screens.Overall, I'm really glad I watched this course because it taught me happiness is about way more than just fun and jokes. It's about taking care of your mind and body, being grateful, connecting with others, doing meaningful stuff, and finding joy in simple activities. Who knew there was so much to learn about being happy?篇2My Reflections on the Harvard Happiness CourseHappiness is something that everyone wants, but not everyone knows how to find it. That's why I was really excited when my teacher told our class that we were going to watch a course from Harvard all about being happy! Harvard is a super smart university, so I knew they would have great tips.The first thing I learned is that happiness isn't just about feeling good emotions like joy or excitement. True happiness is about living a fulfilling and meaningful life. The course professors talked a lot about something called "eudaimonia" which is an ancient Greek word meaning the highest form of well-being. To have eudaimonia, you need to develop your character strengths, nurture positive relationships, find a sense of purpose, and contribute to something larger than yourself. Just chasing fun or pleasure isn't enough for deep, lasting happiness.One thing that really stuck with me was when they talked about how important it is to be grateful for the good things in your life. They said we should all keep a gratitude journal and write down a few things we feel thankful for each day. It helps train your brain to notice and appreciate the positive stuff instead of always focusing on the negative. Some days it might be easy things like a sunny day or your favorite dinner. Other days it could be bigger things like having a loving family or being healthy. I started a gratitude journal after watching those lessons and I've already filled up almost a whole notebook!Another big idea was about building篇3Happiness at HarvardMy big sister Isabella goes to Harvard University. It's a really famous school that lots of smart people go to. My sister studies really hard, but this semester she is taking a really interesting class called "Happiness." Can you believe Harvard has a whole class just about being happy?When Isabella came home for spring break, she told me all about the happiness class. She said the professor's name is Dr. Luria and that he is super nice and funny. The class is actually called "Psychology of Happiness" but everyone just calls it the "Happiness Class." Over 800 students signed up for it this semester! That's like the whole population of my tiny town.The first few weeks, they learned about what happiness really means. It's not just a feeling of being silly or giddy. Real happiness is about having meaningful lives and connections with others. It's about feeling satisfied and at peace with yourself. The class talks a lot about mindfulness, which means being present in the moment instead of worrying about the past or future.They also studied stuff about the human brain and how different neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin affect our moods. If our brain chemistry is out of whack, it can be really hard to feel happy. Things like exercise, sleep, and healthy foodshelp keep our brains in balance. Who knew eating your veggies could make you happier?Another big part of the class is all about our relationships and connections with other people. Humans are social creatures, and we need close bonds to be truly happy. Having few social ties can be as bad for you as smoking! The class talks about how to be a good friend, maintain healthy relationships, and deal with conflicts in a positive way.I thought it was really interesting how they looked at happiness across cultures too. Every society has different values and ideas about what makes a good, meaningful life. In some cultures, personal freedom is most important. In others, harmony with others or living an ethical life according to traditions matters more. There's no one-size-fits-all for happiness.The part of the class I was most curious about was all the hands-on activities and homework assignments. Instead of just reading from textbooks, Dr. Luria has his students go out and put happiness strategies into practice. Can you imagine a college kid's homework being "perform five random acts of kindness this week?" How fun!Some other assignments included keeping a gratitude journal, practicing meditation or deep breathing, and doing kindthings for yourself like taking a relaxing nature walk. My sister said her favorite was the savoring assignment where they had to really pay attention and appreciate the smallest pleasures in life, like the smell of freshly baked cookies or the beauty of a colorful sunset.At the end of the semester, each student has to come up with their own "Happiness Project" and create a long-term plan for living a more meaningful and satisfying life. My sister is thinking of ways to slow down and not become a workaholic robot when she goes off to start her career. She wants to remember what's really important - her relationships, her values, and feeding her soul as well as her mind.I know I'm just a kid, but learning about my sister's Happiness class has made me think a lot about my own life too. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in dumb stuff like video games or arguing with my annoying little brother. This class reminds me to stop and appreciate the good things I have - a safe home, parents who love me, friends to play with, books to read. Those are the things that create real happiness, not just temporary amusement.I hope every school has a Happiness class one day, even elementary schools. Can't we all use a little more positivity andlife satisfaction? The world would be a lot nicer if everyone practiced being kinder, more grateful, and focused on the important things instead of just chasing after meaningless trophies or material stuff.I'm really proud of my smart sister for taking a class that teaches such important life lessons. She always did like to learn things the fun way! When I get home from school, I'm going to start my own little Happiness Project by helping my mom cook a healthy dinner, playing outside with the neighborhood kids, and telling my dad how much I appreciate all the hard work he does for our family. Baby steps towards happiness, Harvard style!篇4The Happiness Course at Big Kid SchoolHi friends! I'm so excited to tell you all about the super cool class I just took at Harvard University! It's called the Happiness Course and it taught me so many neat things about how to be happier.First of all, can you believe a fancy school like Harvard has a whole class just about being happy? I couldn't believe it either at first! But it makes total sense when you think about it. Grownups are always stressing about work, money, and other boring stuff.They probably need some lessons on how to chill out and enjoy life more. That's what this class was all about!On the very first day, the teacher asked us "What is happiness?" That's a pretty deep question for a kid, but I tried my best to answer. I said happiness is eating pizza, playing video games, and having fun with my friends. The teacher said those things can definitely make us happy, but there's a lot more to it than that.Over the next few weeks, we learned allllll about the science of happiness. Did you know that scientists can actually study what makes people happy or sad? They do brain scans and surveys and everything! We watched some videos where these serious scientists talked about their research in big words I could barely understand. But the main idea is that happiness comes from inside your mind, not just from the things happening around you.One of the biggest happiness tricks we learned is about savoring positive experiences. That means when something really good happens, you take a moment to enjoy it instead of rushing on to the next thing. Like if you get a delicious ice cream cone, don't just scarf it down right away. Take some slow licks, let the cold sweetness sit on your tongue, and just be present andhappy about that ice cream for a little while. The happiest people know how to really soak in life's little joys.Another key to happiness is nurturing your relationships with friends and family. Your social ties are one of the biggest factors in how happy and satisfied you feel in life. That's why it's so important to be a good friend, keep in touch with family, and make time for the people you care about. Just having strong bonds with others makes a huge difference in your overall wellbeing and positive vibes.We also learned that happiness isn't just about feeling good vibes all the time. Bad things happen and everyone feels sad sometimes. But happy people are able to bounce back from those tough times more easily. They have resilience and grit to get through struggles, and they actively work on building happiness back up. It's all about mindset and keeping a positive outlook even when life gets hard.One of my favorite happiness activities was the gratitude journal. Each night for homework, we had to write down three things we felt grateful for that day. It could be anything from a delicious snack to some extra play time to cuddles with a pet. Getting in the habit of noticing and appreciating the good things,even little ones, totally gives you a happiness boost. It was actually really fun to do every night!On the last day of class, we went around sharing our biggest happiness takeaways. Mine was about unhooking yourself-worth from achievement and approval. A lot of kids (and adults too) base their whole self-worth on getting good grades, winning games, and having others think they're smart or talented. But the teacher said the happiest people don't need to prove themselves to others all the time. They know their own self-worth no matter what. I really liked that idea of giving yourself unconditional love and acceptance. It's something I want to work on for myself.Overall, the Harvard Happiness Course was one of the coolest, most enlightening classes I've ever taken. It totally opened my eyes to all the different factors that go into feeling truly happy and satisfied with your life. I learned so many wise tips and tricks that I'm going to try my best to practice every day. Like savoring life's little joys, nurturing my relationships, building resilience, and most of all, being kind to myself no matter what. Happiness is an inside job, but now I've got a whole toolbox of strategies to make it happen!If they offer this class again next year, I'm definitely signing up. Every kid (and adult) should take it! Understanding the science of happiness and practicing it in your daily life can make such a huge difference. The world would be a way happier, more positive place if we all knew these secrets. I'm feeling so grateful to have had this opportunity to learn them. Thanks Harvard, you helped make this kid's cup of happiness overflow!篇5The Happiness Course at Harvard? That's a Real Thing?When my teacher told our class we were going to watch some videos from a famous "Happiness Course" taught at Harvard University, I was like "Whaaat? They actually have a class just about being happy at Harvard?" Harvard is supposed to be this crazy hard school where they study all kinds of difficult stuff like quantum physics and ancient languages. How could they have time for a whole class focused on something as simple as happiness?But as I started watching the videos, it started making more sense. The professor teaching it, Dr. Laurie Santos, seems really nice and down-to-earth. She explained that even at an elite school like Harvard, lots of students struggle with stress, anxiety,and feeling overwhelmed. The course was designed to teach scientifically proven strategies to increase well-being and life satisfaction.I have to admit, when she first started talking about things like mindfulness meditation, I kind of zoned out. I'm an energetic kid - how am I supposed to just sit there and focus on my breathing? But then she made a really interesting point: Even just a few minutes of meditation can help rewire your brain to be more present and less caught up in worrying about the past or future. Huh, maybe there's something to this mindfulness stuff after all.Another thing I found fascinating was learning about the psychology research on what really makes people happy. Like, you'd think having more money or getting good grades would automatically make you super happy. But the studies show that once you have your basic needs covered, additional money doesn't boost life satisfaction nearly as much as quality relationships and having a sense of purpose. That's a little crazy to think about!My favorite part was probably the segment on gratitude. Dr. Santos had everyone write a gratitude letter to someone who really impacted their life in a positive way. Just reflecting on allthe kind things that person did for me gave me such a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. And the look on my grandma's face when I surprised her by reading it out loud? Priceless! Remembering to appreciate the special people in our lives is so important.Towards the end, we learned about random acts of kindness and how doing nice things for others, even total strangers, can boost your mood more than you'd expect. Our class had a "kindness contest" for two weeks where we tried to do as many anonymous good deeds as possible and kept a tally. Seeing my classmates get so enthusiastic about cheering people up or helping out was awesome. Even just holding the door for someone and watching their face light up in surprise was enough to make me smile too.Overall, while some of the lessons in the Happiness Course could seem a little obvious at first, the scientific evidence and student testimonials really drove home how powerful and transformative these simple strategies can be. Just being more mindful, feeling grateful, and prioritizing kindness can make a huge difference in your quality of life. The workload at a place like Harvard is always going to involve a ton of hard work and stress. But having tools to stay grounded, present, and focused on what really matters? That's huge.I may only be a kid, but I can already feel how easy it is to get caught up in swirling thoughts, doubts, and anxieties about the future. Having a "happiness toolkit" to turn to will be invaluable as I keep growing up and facing new challenges. Thanks to Dr. Santos' wisdom and engaging teaching style, I've now got a headstart on cultivating the habits of a truly satisfying life. Not bad for an elementary school classroom, huh Harvard?篇6The Happiness Class at HarvardI just finished taking the Happiness Class at Harvard and I have to say, it was the best class ever! My mom signed me up for it because she said I've been kind of grumpy lately. I didn't want to go at first, but now I'm really glad I did.On the first day, the professor said we were going to learn all about the science of happiness. I didn't even know there was such a thing as "happiness science"! I thought either you were a happy person or you weren't. But he said scientists have actually studied what makes people happy and unhappy.We learned that a lot of the things we think will make us super happy, like getting a new video game or a cute puppy, only make us happy for a little while. Then we get used to it and aren'tas happy anymore. The professor called this "hedonic adaptation." Basically, we adapt to our new happier situation and it becomes the new normal.But there are some things that can make people really happy for a long time. Like having close friends, helping others, exercising, meditating, and being grateful for what we have. The professor said doing stuff like that can make us build up something called "emotional reserve" so we're happier overall, even when bad things happen.One of the first happiness habits we practiced was keeping a gratitude journal. Every night we had to write down three things we felt grateful for that day. At first it was kind of hard to think of three things, but after a while it got easier. Writing about the little things that went well helped me notice and appreciate them more.We also did random acts of kindness, like making nice cards for people or helping clean up the classroom without being asked. Helping others felt really good! The professor explained that humans are hard-wired to feel happy when we cooperate and help our "tribe." Even little acts of kindness can make us happier.Another big part of the class was learning to be mindful and live in the present moment. We did breathing exercises and meditations pretty much every day. It was hard for me at first to sit still and focus on my breath. My mind kept wandering to video games or what was for lunch! But I got better at it, and being mindful really does make you more calm and happy.We had to take quizzes on all the happiness habits and strategies we learned, like savoring positive experiences, reframing situations positively, strengthening social connections, practicing gratitude and kindness, meditating, exercising, and pursuing meaningful goals. It was a lot to remember!For our final project, we had to pick one happiness habit and really work on it for a few weeks, then write about how it went. I decided to work on savoring positive experiences more. Whenever something fun happened, like scoring a goal in soccer or getting a good grade, I would pause and try to really soak it in and extend the happy feeling instead of rushing on to the next thing.It actually worked! Instead of just feeling happy for a second and moving on, I was able to stretch out those happy moments. I paid more attention and created vivid memories of feelingsuccessful and proud. Savoring is like taking mental pictures of the best parts of your day.The Happiness Class taught me that being genuinely happy is a skill you can develop, just like any other skill. Simply knowing what the happiness habits are won't automatically make you happier though. You have to actually practice them, just like practicing an instrument or a sport.It's been about a month since the class ended, and I've been really trying to keep using the strategies I learned. I've kept up my gratitude journal, did lots of acts of kindness over spring break, and have been exercising and meditating pretty regularly.I also take time each day to savor at least one positive moment or accomplishment.I can't say I'm deliriously happy every second of every day now. That's not really possible, and I still get grumpy sometimes. But overall, I do feel happier and moreupbeat than I was before the class. Little things don't bother me as much, and I feel kinder and more appreciative. I catch myself smiling for no particular reason more often.If they offered a Happiness 202 class, I would totally take it! Learning all these research-based strategies for boosting happiness was fascinating. And they really do work if you putthem into practice. Happiness might seem simple, but it's actually a pretty complex thing that's worth studying closely.I'm really glad my mom made me take the Happiness Class, even though I didn't want to at first. It has definitely made a positive difference in my attitude and well-being. I think every kid (and adult too!) should learn this powerful information about how to create more authentic and lasting happiness. Thanks Harvard!。
所谓的哈佛幸福课就是积极心理学,视频很容易找到,确实非常好,不像励志书籍那么空洞,能被学习、应用到生活中,用讲师TalBen Shahar的话来说就是“can be taught and learned”。
机缘巧合从第二课开始听的,但我一定会全部认真看完,做好笔记。
一个字一个字敲的,材料组织的过程也是我自己思考的过程,主要是为了自己,但本着分享的精神拿到这里,若碰巧帮助到某位朋友则幸甚。
第二课:积极心理学的作用是催生一种心理作用,把人们从无休止的减轻痛苦的过程中解脱,并且打造良好的生活品质。
存在学生退学、吸毒、早孕、犯罪等问题地区的孩子中有少部分取得了成功,长时间的成功。
研究发现他们并不是有天才的孩子(super kids),他们性格、智力各方面很普通。
但是他们拥有——适应力:一种现象,特别是在面临巨大逆境或危险关头也能保持积极的适应模式。
他们乐观,不是那种不切实际的盲目乐观,而是乐观地相信事情会被圆满地解决。
乐观主义认为,“好吧,也许这次不会成功,以后也会成功,而且我从刚发生的事学到了东西。
”他们对生活有信心,认为它有意义,有时它是宗教信仰,但却不总是这样。
这种信仰是做他们相信的事。
他么中很多人是理想主义者(idealistic)。
理想主义就是现实主义(To be idealistic is to be realistic),因为我们的内心需要理想主义。
所以这些孩子有意义感,不管是个人成功方面的意义感,还是他们的行事方式的意义,或是服务社区的意义,还有事情的目标的意义。
适应力不但对受危人群很重要,对任何人都重要。
把适应力和幸福联系起来非常重要。
思考这些特点,就会展示它们。
这些特点都可以教授,可以学习。
这门课程其实就是讲的这个。
除了信心和意义感,利社会行为,帮助别人,从对别人无用到有益,这些都很重要。
帮助别人就是在帮助自己,进入到一个上升的良性循环。
他们的眼光集中在自己的长处上而不是自己的缺点。
【哈佛公开课之幸福课:第二课】学习笔记1,幸福课,也叫积极心理学课。
如果你不开心,学懂了它,可以让你变得开心;如果你开心,学懂了它,可以让你更开心!2,任何一种观点、方法、研究,都不会适合所有人。
至于究竟适不适合,你需要学了之后亲自去实践,然后你才能知道答案。
在没有了解之前,不要对轻易对事物下结论,人云亦云的人都是没有独立思想的人。
对教育的启发:很多大人最喜欢说的一句话就是“孩子不打不成材”,如果你也准备这么做的时候,你不妨问问自己:我犯了错希望被人打吗?如果你都不喜欢,你就别打孩子。
也就是孔子说的:己所不欲,勿施于人。
3,授课老师泰勒有一次病的很严重,半夜医生让他去医院检查。
在去医院的路上,他问了自己一个问题:如果我的生命只剩下一年,除了要多陪伴家人,在职业上我最想完成什么?答案是:一个向人们介绍积极心理学的系列课程。
原因是:传统心理学几乎都把时间花在研究消极的东西上。
从1967年到2000年,这三十三年时间里,有五千篇文章研究愤怒,超过四万一千篇文章研究焦虑,超过五万篇文章研究抑郁;而关于快乐的研究,只有四百五十篇文章。
关于幸福的研究,有差不多两千篇。
也就是说,研究消极的和积极的文章比例是:21:1。
好比一个人每天有21小时痛苦难过,只有一个小时开心快乐,这个人会怎么样?4,人本心理学大师马斯洛,对于“21:1”现象看法是:心理学这一学科,对消极方面的研究,远比对于积极方面的研究成功。
它向我们展示了人的短板、缺点、过失,却很少谈到人的潜能、长处、实际愿望、精神高度,好像心理学自愿固步自封,让自己仅限于研究黑暗低劣的一半。
这就是世界各地抑郁症、焦虑症、自杀人群出现的越来越多的重要原因之一。
5,当前抑郁症人群,比1960年整整高出了十倍,并且平均年龄小于15岁。
一个重要的因素是:他们在心理上还没有做好准备的时候,就过早接触互联网,从而被上面一些鱼龙混杂、不良的信息所误导。
6,发布在权威学术期刊的一篇研究报告指出:47%的哈佛大学学生,在过去一年中感觉过抑郁,导致无法正常生活和学习,比如,不愿意出门;每天过的很挣扎。

哈佛大学幸福课我们来到这个世上,到底追求什么才是最重要的?他坚定地认为:幸福感是衡量人生的唯一标准,是所有目标的最终目标。
风靡网络的哈佛最受欢迎的选修课是“幸福课”,听课人数超过了《经济学导论》。
教这门课的是一位名不见经传的年轻讲师,名叫泰勒·本-沙哈尔。
“幸福课”为何会在哈佛大受欢迎?“我曾不快乐了30 年。
”本-沙哈尔这样说自己。
他也是哈佛的毕业生,从本科读到博士。
在哈佛,作为三名优秀生之一,他曾被派往剑桥进行交换学习。
他还是个一流的运动员,在社团活动方面也很活跃。
但这些并没有让他感到持久的幸福。
他坦言,自己的内心并不快乐。
“最初,引起我对积极心理学兴趣的是我的经历。
我开始意识到,内在的东西比外在的东西,对幸福感更重要。
通过研究这门学科,我受益匪浅。
我想把我所学的东西和别人一起分享,于是,我决定做一名教师。
”我们来到这个世上,到底追求什么才是最重要的?本-沙哈尔坚定地认为:“幸福感是衡量人生的唯一标准,是所有目标的最终目标。
一项有关“幸福”的研究表明,人的幸福感主要取决3 个因素:“遗传基因、与幸福有关的环境因素以及能够帮助我们获得幸福的行动。
而积极心理学,可以帮助人们活得更快乐、更充实。
幸福,是可以通过学习和练习获得的。
”本-沙哈尔说:“我知道它是可行的,因为,它已深深地帮助了我。
”我们的很多课,都在教学生如何更好地思考、更好地阅读、更好地写作,可是为什么就不该有人教学生更好地生活呢?把艰深的积极心理学学术成果简约化、实用化,教学生懂得自我帮助,这是本-沙哈尔开设“幸福课”的初衷。
幸福,应该是快乐与意义的结合本-沙哈尔竟然从汉堡里,总结出了4 种人生模式。
第一种汉堡,就是他最先抓起的那只,口味诱人,但却是标准的“垃圾食品”。
吃它等于是享受眼前的快乐,但同时也埋下未来的痛苦。
用它比喻人生,就是及时享乐,出卖未来幸福的人生,即“享乐主义型”;第二种汉堡,口味很差,里边全是蔬菜和有机食物,吃了可以使人日后更健康,但会吃得很痛苦。
牺牲眼前的幸福,为的是追求未来的目标,他称之为“忙碌奔波型”;第三种汉堡,是最糟糕的,既不美味,吃了还会影响日后的健康。
与此相似的人,对生活丧失了希望和追求,既不享受眼前的事物,也不对未来抱期许,是“虚无主义型”;会不会还有一种汉堡,又好吃,又健康呢?那就是第四种“幸福型”汉堡。
一个幸福的人,是即能享受当下所做的事,又可以获得更美满的未来。
据本-沙哈尔观察,现实生活中的大部分人,都属于“忙碌奔波型”。
人们习惯性地去关注下一个目标,而常常忽略了眼前的事情本-沙哈尔经常讲“蒂姆的故事”。
在这个故事里,晃动着许多人熟悉的影子。
蒂姆小时候,是个无忧无虑的孩子。
但自打上小学那天起,他忙碌奔波的人生就开始了。
父母和老师总告诫他,上学的目的,就是取得好成绩,这样长大后,才能找到好工作。
渐渐地,蒂姆接受了大人的价值观。
虽然他不喜欢学校,但还是努力学习。
成绩好时,父母和老师都夸他,同学们也羡慕他。
到高中时,蒂姆已对此深信不疑:牺牲现在,是为了换取未来的幸福;没有痛苦,就不会有收获。
大学4 年,蒂姆依旧奔忙着,极力为自己的履历表增光添彩。
大四那年,蒂姆被一家著名的公司录用了。
他又一次兴奋地告诉自己,这回终于可以享受生活了。
可他很快就感觉到,这份每周需要工作84小时的高薪工作,充满压力。
他又说服自己:没关系,这样干,今后的职位才会更稳固,才能更快地升职。
当然,他也有开心的时刻,在加薪、拿到奖金或升职时。
但这些满足感,很快就消退了。
经过多年的打拼,蒂姆成了公司合伙人。
他曾多么渴望这一天。
可是,当这一天真的到来时,他却没觉得多快乐。
蒂姆拥有了豪宅、名牌跑车。
他存款一辈子都用不完。
他被身边的人认定为成功的典型。
朋友拿他当偶像,来教育自己的小孩。
可是蒂姆呢,由于无法在盲目的追求中找到幸福,他干脆把注意力集中在了眼下,用酗酒、吸毒来麻醉自己。
他尽可能延长假期,在阳光下的海滩一呆就是几个钟头,享受着毫无目的的人生,再也不去担心明天的事。
起初,他快活极了,但很快,他又感到了厌倦。
做“忙碌奔波型”并不快乐,做“享乐主义型”也不开心,因为找不到出路,蒂姆决定向命运投降,听天由命。
但他的孩子们怎么办呢?他该引导他们过怎样的一种人生呢?蒂姆为此深感痛苦。
为什么当今社会有那么多“忙碌奔波型”的人呢?本-沙哈尔这样解释:因为人们常常被“幸福的假象”所蒙蔽。
我们所处的社会环境和文化背景是这样的:假如孩子成绩全优,家长就会给奖励;如果员工工作出色,老板就会发给奖金。
人们习惯性地去关注下一个目标,而常常忽略了眼前的事情,最后,导致终生的盲目追求。
然而一旦目标达成后,人们常把放松的心情,解释为幸福。
好像事情越难做,成功后的幸福感就越强。
不可否认,这种解脱,让我们感到真实的快乐,但它绝不等同于“幸福”。
它只是“幸福的假象”。
这就好比一个人头痛好了之后,他会为头不痛而高兴,这是由于这种喜悦,来自于痛苦的前因。
“忙碌奔波型”的人,错误地认为成功就是幸福,坚信目标实现后的放松和解脱,就是幸福。
因此,他们不停地从一个目标奔向另一个目标。
在本-沙哈尔看来,寻找真正能让自己快乐而有意义的目标,才是获得幸福的关键。
他们把物质与财富,放在了快乐和意义之上本-沙哈尔的哲学老师在他毕业时,给了他一点忠告:“生命很短暂,在选择道路前,先确定自己能做的事。
其中,做那些你想做的。
然后再细化,找出你真正想做的。
最后,对于那些真正、真正想做的事,付诸行动。
”本-沙哈尔也这样教他的学生,如何寻找能发挥自己优势和热情的工作。
用以下3 个关键问题,先来问问自己:一,什么带给我意义?二,什么带给我快乐?三,我的优势是什么?并且要注意顺序。
然后看一下答案,找出这其中的交集点,那个工作,就是最能使你感到幸福的工作了。
通常在越感兴趣的事情里,人就越能发挥自己的天赋,越能做得持久。
人一旦有了热情,不但动机坚定,连做事效率也会提高。
许多研究表明,一个幸福的人,在生活的各个层面上都会很成功,包括婚姻、友谊、收入、工作表现以及健康。
幸福与成功,存在强烈的相互作用,无论是工作上还是感情上的成功,可以带来幸福;而幸福本身,也能带来更多的成功。
本-沙哈尔总结出这样3 种工作境界:赚钱谋生、事业、使命感。
如果只把工作当成任务和赚钱的手段,就没有任何的个人实现。
这样每天去上班,只是必须而不是想去,他所期盼的,除了薪水,就是节假日了;把工作当事业的人,除了注重财富的积累外,还会关注事业的发展,如权力和声望等。
他们会关心下一个升职的机会,期望从副教授到终身教授、从教师到校长、从职员到主管、从编辑到总编辑;假如,把工作当成使命,那工作本身就是目标了。
薪水、职位固然重要,但他们工作,是因为他们想要做这份工作,动力源自内心。
工作是一种恩典,而不是为人打工。
他们对工作充满热情,在工作中自我实现,获得充实感。
他们的目标,正是自我和谐的目标。
“一个在工作中找到意义与快乐的投资家,一个出于正确动机的商人,绝对要比一个心不在焉的和尚,高尚和有意义得多。
”本-沙哈尔笃定地说。
不同的人,会在不同的事里找到意义。
如创业、当义工、抚养子女、行医、甚至是打家具。
重要的是,选择目标时,必须确定它符合自己的价值观、爱好,符合自己内心的愿望,而不是为了满足社会标准,或是迎合他人的期待。
“真我的呼唤”,就是使命感。
漫漫人生,每个人都不可避免地会面临悲伤的时刻,比如经历失败或失去,但我们依然可以活得幸福。
一个幸福的人,也会有情绪上的起伏,但整体上,能保持一种积极的人生态度。
他经常被积极的情绪推动着,如欢乐和爱;很少被愤怒或内疚,这些负面情绪所控制。
快乐是常态,而痛苦都是小插曲。
本-沙哈尔希望他的学生,学会接受自己,不要忽略自己所拥有的独特性;要摆脱“完美主义”,要“学会失败”。
为了更好地记住“幸福课”的要点,本-沙哈尔还为学生简化出10 条小贴士:1.遵从你内心的热情。
选择对你有意义并且能让你快乐的课,不要只是为了轻松地拿一个A而选课,或选你朋友上的课,或是别人认为你应该上的课。
2.多和朋友们在一起。
不要被日常工作缠身,亲密的人际关系,是你幸福感的信号,最有可能为你带来幸福。
3.学会失败。
成功没有捷径,历史上有成就的人,总是敢于行动,也会经常失败。
不要让对失败的恐惧,绊住你尝试新事物的脚步。
4.接受自己全然为人。
失望、烦乱、悲伤是人性的一部分。
接纳这些,并把它们当成自然之事,允许自己偶尔的失落和伤感。
然后问问自己,能做些什么来让自己感觉好过一点。
5.简化生活。
更多并不总代表更好,好事多了,也不一定有利。
你选了太多的课吗?参加了太多的活动吗?应求精而不在多。
6.有规律地锻炼。
体育运动是你生活中最重要的事情之一。
每周只要3 次,每次只要30 分钟,就能大大改善你的身心健康。
7.睡眠。
虽然有时“熬通宵”是不可避免的,但每天7 到9 小时的睡眠是一笔非常棒的投资。
这样,在醒着的时候,你会更有效率、更有创造力,也会更开心。
8.慷慨。
现在,你的钱包里可能没有太多钱,你也没有太多时间。
但这并不意味着你无法助人。
“给予”和“接受”是一件事的两个面。
当我们帮助别人时,我们也在帮助自己;当我们帮助自己时,也是在间接地帮助他人。
9.勇敢。
勇气并不是不恐惧,而是心怀恐惧,仍依然向前。
10.表达感激。
生活中,不要把你的家人、朋友、健康、教育等这一切当成理所当然的。
它们都是你回味无穷的礼物。
记录他人的点滴恩惠,始终保持感恩之心。
每天或至少每周一次,请你把它们记下来。
“他教心理学,同其他心理学老师有很大的不同。
他试图让你把这些理念,应用到自己的生活中去。
”“我从记‘感恩簿’中收获最大,在那里,我每天写下我充满感激的事情。
”“上这门课之前,听到‘冥想’这个词,我会不以为然。
但是现在,我惊奇地发现,它真的让我在接下来的几个小时里,放松了。
”“我认识的每个上过这门课的人都说,这是他们在哈佛上过的最好的课。
一位和我要好的女生说,它改变了她的生命,给了她一种看问题的不同视角,对幸福的理解,也改变了。
”甚至助教们也说,自打跟本-沙哈尔教授“幸福课”以来,一年中,身体出奇得好,心情也爽多了。
“我改善了我的饮食、睡眠、人际关系,还有人生的方向感。
这些对我来说,都是很重要的东西。
”另一位助教称,这门课的出勤率,平均在95%以上。
“它的奇妙之处在于,当学生们离开教室的时候,都迈着春天一样的步子。
”2006年2月,哈佛出了件大事,校长萨默斯为自己的惊人之语“女人先天不如男”,付出了“下课”的代价。
即将去职的萨默斯闷闷不乐,他的好友找到本-沙哈尔,讨要如何让校长快乐起来的秘笈,本-沙哈尔慷慨支招。
首先,他现在可能很烦乱、失落、难过,这些都属正常,因为他也是人。
去大胆地经历他现在正经历着的任何事,并且自然地接受下来。
