- How to Feel Happier Today
- 今天如何感到更快乐
- Written by Lisa Fields
- 丽莎·菲尔兹撰稿
- When I learned that the most popular course in the history of Yale University-a psychology class designed to teach students how to become happier—
- 当我得知耶鲁大学历史上最受欢迎的课程，即一门旨在教学生如何变得更快乐的心理学课程，
- was available online to anyone who wanted to take it, I decided I had to see what it was all about.
- 任何人都能在网上学习时，我决定要看看这门课教授些什么。
- After all, I've been writing about happiness for years,
- 毕竟，多年来我一直撰写关于幸福的文章，
- offering techniques and advice from researchers who found that this idea or that habit can boost well-being.
- 把我从研究人员那里获得的技术和建议告诉大家，研究人员发现这种想法或习惯可以促进幸福感。
- I was curious to see what Yale professor Laurie Santos was recommending, but I assumed I'd already be familiar with many of the concepts.
- 我很想看看耶鲁大学教授劳里·桑托斯会建议哪些内容，但我想我已经对很多概念都很熟悉。
- So I invited my boyfriend, Ian, to take the course with me.
- 所以，我邀请男友伊恩和我一起上这门课。
- I wanted to see how someone who hadn't heard it all before reacted.
- 我想看看一个没有听说过这方面内容的人会作何反应。
- Santos's online course consists of 19 hours of video lectures and is supposed to take ten weeks to complete,
- 桑托斯的在线课程包括19个小时的视频讲座，预计要用10周完成，
- but Ian and I spent three months soaking up what she had to offer.
- 但我和伊恩花了三个月的时间学习她所提供的内容。
- We learned that the things we tend to think will make us happier—
- 我们了解到，那些我们倾向于认为会让我们更快乐的事情，
- bigger paychecks, nicer homes, trimmer bodies—don't actually add joy to our lives.
- 比如更高的薪水、更好的房子、更苗条的身材，实际上并不能给我们的生活增添快乐。
- But practices such as exercising more, socializing, getting enough sleep, and prioritizing free time over making money do.
- 但是，诸如多运动、社交、充足的睡眠、留些空闲时间而不是只想着赚钱等做法确实有效。
- "These constant practices are really what's required to boost your happiness," Santos told me after Ian and I completed her course.
- 我和伊恩完成她的课程后，桑托斯告诉我：“这些不断的练习确实是提高幸福感的必要条件。
- "It's like a tire that you put air into.
- 就像一个轮胎，你把空气打进去。
- Occasionally it leaks, and you have to put more air into it.
- 它偶尔会漏气，你得多打些空气进去。
- It's not a one-time thing where you learn it and you're good.
- 这不是一锤子买卖，你学完后就万事大吉了。
- You actually have to put the work in.
- 实际上，你得去努力实践。
- Although part of the course focuses on the desire to get good grades and land the perfect job,
- 虽然这门课的部分重点是希望取得好成绩、找到完美的工作，
- we realized that these lessons aren't helpful just for college students;
- 但我们意识到，这些课程不仅对大学生有帮助；
- Ian and I are both middle-aged, with six children between us, and most of what Santos said was relevant to us.
- 我和伊恩都是中年人，我们养育了六个孩子，桑托斯所说的大部分内容都与我们有关。
- "What the science suggests is that these tips apply cross-culturally, across ages, and no matter what job you have," Santos says.
- “科学表明，这些技巧跨越文化和年龄，而且无论你从事什么工作都适用，”桑托斯说。
- After taking the course, I'm convinced that anyone who adopts and practices the strategies
- 学习完这门课程后，我确信，任何人只要采纳并实践桑托斯建议的策略，
- that Santos suggests can truly become happier.
- 就能真正变得更快乐。
- Here are our favorite takeaways.
- 下面就是我们最喜欢的一些技巧。
