It is about becoming happier. Why? Because many people ask me, "So Tal, are you happy?"
而是关于变得更幸福 为什么? 因为很多人问我 "那么Tal 你幸福吗?"
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?
我真的不能回答那个问题 我不知道那是什么意思 我如何判断自己是否幸福?
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--
是和别人比较? 是不是存在一个点 超过之后就变幸福了? 幸福不是二进制的非此即彼 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 幸福存在于一个连续统一体 所以我对这个问题的回答-- "我幸福吗?"
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年前刚开始关注幸福时更幸福 15年后我当然希望自己能比今天幸福 幸福是终身的追求
Hopefully this class is part of that pursuit, but just part. You'll not be happy at the end of class.
希望本课程是这种追求的一部分 但只是一部分 你们不会在课结束时幸福
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.
希望你们能比现在幸福 因为很多人坐在这听有关自尊的讲座时 比如 或者当我们明确地讨论幸福时
They say, "Wait. Do I have self-esteem?"-- Thinking to themselves. "Do I have high self-esteem or low self-esteem?" Irrelevant.
他们说 "等等 我的自尊心强吗?" 他们自己想到 "我的自尊是较强的还是较弱的?"
Impossible to answer also. The question is "how can I improve my self-esteem, my healthy self-esteem.
这也是没有意义 无法回答的 问题是"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.
而当然不是自恋? 我怎样才能变得幸福?" 那是一个重要的问题
And this is the question of questions. This class is not a survey of positive psychology. If you want a survey on positive psychology.
这是问题的问题 本课程不是一个积极心理学的概论 如果你想要关于积极心理学的概论
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
我可以推荐一些很不错的课本 Lopez或是Peterson的书 很不错的课本 还有一本积极心理学手册
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.
一本很厚的书 里面有这个领域里大多数你想知道的内容 你也可以用它自卫 自卫非常管用
