The governments are really concerned; university presidents are very concerned about the growing level of depression.
政府都非常担忧. 大学校长们都非常担忧 越来越多的抑郁现象
Anxiety and general mental disorder, rise of suicide rates in all of these countries that I mentioned. So we have a global epidemic here.
焦虑 精神紊乱 自杀率的上升 上面提到的所有国家都是如此 所以这是全球性流行病
And once again going back so: Is it the 21:1 ratio good? Is it important? Shouldn't it be increased? How can we even think about studying happiness.
我们再看看 21比1的比率是好事吗? 它重要吗?它不是应该扩大吗? 我们怎么可以去研究幸福
And well-being and love and joy? Shouldn't we first deal with the real pressing problem of depression.
健康 爱和快乐? 我们不是应该首先处理 真正迫切的问题吗? 比如抑郁
Anxiety, neurosis and so on? Some truth to that, but again what I'm going to argue for in this class.
焦虑 神经衰弱等等 这样说确实有些道理 但是在这个课程里我要主张的是
Is that we do need to also, not only, not exclusively, not even necessarily primarily, we need to also focus on the positive.
我们也要. 不是专门 也不用主要 我们也要集中研究积极心理学
I am going to talk about three reasons why we should do that. The first reason is that it is important to focus on what works, because what works or what we focus on rather creates reality.
我要说三个为什么应该这样做的理由 首先 集中研究有用的东西至关重要 因为有用的或者集中研究的会成为现实
If we focus on what is working, we'll have more working in our world, more working in ourselves, more working in our relationships.
如果我们集中研究起作用的 它就会在世界起更大的作用 在我们身上以及关系上起更大作用
The second reason why positive psychology as an independent field of study as a course in and of itself is important is that being happy.
其次 为什么积极心理学 作为一门独立领域的研究学科 是重要的 这是因为快乐
Is not just the negation of happiness. It doesn't mean just get rid of depression or anxiety that I am experiencing.
并非只是对痛苦的否定 摆脱我正在经历的 抑郁或者焦虑并不意味着
