這門課提出一個Model來解釋如何讓自己產生positive circle 這個Model的順序分別是high belief(Expectation) =>high motivation(consitency) => high or low performance=>Interpretation<=>high belief(expectation)=>...... 在解釋這個Model的同時,教授帶了兩個concept進來,optimistic跟pessimistic這兩者概念的不同,非常經典的比較 Optimistic means high expectation and strong belief Pessmistic means "get real" more realistic 這個model會透過interpretation這個步驟修正,最後會導致expection and perfomance(reality)相等 大家真該去看看Professor Tal 解釋Thomas Edison的例子做為這個model的詮釋
1.Professor Tal談到他在21歲的時候想當老師,當時的他是一個不能在三個人以上場合講話的人,跑去問他當時的教授怎麼辦,它的教授告訴他: preparation, preparation, prepration, that's it. 回去後他分析他自己,他發現自己夠hark working coping,他對學生有passion,最後他發現它缺乏belief,why? The reason is his mind. His mind is lack of imagination. Then He started to explain how important it is and gave some principle about "imgagine success"
2. Professor Tal talked about a controdiction-extremely happy person is happy? It seems that we got a interesting answer.
3.2001年美國景氣不好,大幅裁員時候,剛好Professor Tal擔任該系的Tutor,當他告訴學生目前的景氣多差多差,有一個學生舉手問說: Is it any opmistic side in this moment? He answered: Thing happen for the worst and then things will happen for the best. 教授Tal不甚滿意當時給學生的回答,他現在的回答應該是People will make things happen better not things itself. 我喜歡他的這回答
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity.
A optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
Tal Ben-Shahar, 35, was raised in Israel. At 17, he was already the Israeli national squash(壁球) champion. When he first came to Harvard, he was studying Computer Science. Everything was great with him: he was good at study and sports, and enjoyed a wonderful social life. Still he wasn’t happy. He wanted to know why, so he started to study psychology. After taking up Positive Psychology, Ben-Shahar found himself a much happier person than he used to be. He decided to share his happiness with others. So he became a teacher because he believed that happiness is a skill that can be taught. Do less rather than more Like students in China and other Asian countries, American students are feeling increasingly stressed and depressed. A study done across the United States showed that 45% of students in the country were depressed and 94% were overwhelmed with stress. According to Professor Ben-Shahar, this problem is universal(普遍的). The question is: Why? “One reason is that students today, whether in China or in the United States, are trying to do more and more things in less and less time. They try to fit in. More information, more activities, more emails, more telephones. They always sit at the computer. Plus they have to study. It’s too much. Our brain and our heart are not made for this kind of pressure,” he says. The way to overcome it? “First of all, SIMPLIFY(簡化) your life. Don’t check your emails so many times a day. Put time aside when you don’t answer the phone,” Ben-Shahar continues. Believe it or not, halfway through his class at Harvard, the widely admired professor says to his students: “Now I give you the most important advice: SIMPLIFY. Do less rather than more.” How many of you meditate? In addition to this continual warning, another thing that Ben-Shahar preaches(宣揚) in his class is to meditate(冥想，打坐). For a couple of minutes, he asks his students to focus on their breathing. Yes, meditation is a typical Eastern tradition. While modern Chinese people are abandoning our tradition and copying the West without thinking much, Professor Ben-Shahar is promoting Eastern philosophy in his unusually large class. Now more and more Harvard students are starting to practice this age-old Eastern tradition. What’s the point of meditating anyway? “It’s like you go to the gym. You lift weights and weights. But if you don’t rest, you’ll get injured. The same with the mind. If you think hard, but don’t take time to calm down, you get injured here [Pointing to his head]. Getting injured here means being stressed and being depressed,” he says. As a firm believer in meditation, Professor Ben-Shahar does it for 20 minutes every day. What he usually does is to concentrate on breathing and then feel the breath coming in and out of the heart. In the last minutes, he feels grateful to whatever comes to his mind: family, friends, as well as small things like a meal. 99% of the students who attended Ben-Shahar’s Positive Psychology course at Harvard said that they would recommend the course to their fellow students. 23% said it changed their life. Few of us may have access to this brilliant professor. But I’d strongly recommend that you google Tal Ben-Shahar and seek further reading on him. Every time I listen to or read about him, I change for the better, looking at people and things around me more positively ─ that’s what really makes me happy.

Optimistic means high expectation and strong belief
Pessmistic means "get real" more realistic

Tal Ben-Shahar, 35, was raised in Israel. At 17, he was already the Israeli national squash(壁球) champion. When he first came to Harvard, he was studying Computer Science. Everything was great with him: he was good at study and sports, and enjoyed a wonderful social life. Still he wasn’t happy. He wanted to know why, so he started to study psychology.

Do less rather than more
Like students in China and other Asian countries, American students are feeling increasingly stressed and depressed. A study done across the United States showed that 45% of students in the country were depressed and 94% were overwhelmed with stress. According to Professor Ben-Shahar, this problem is universal(普遍的). The question is: Why?
“One reason is that students today, whether in China or in the United States, are trying to do more and more things in less and less time. They try to fit in. More information, more activities, more emails, more telephones. They always sit at the computer. Plus they have to study. It’s too much. Our brain and our heart are not made for this kind of pressure,” he says.
The way to overcome it? “First of all, SIMPLIFY(簡化) your life. Don’t check your emails so many times a day. Put time aside when you don’t answer the phone,” Ben-Shahar continues. Believe it or not, halfway through his class at Harvard, the widely admired professor says to his students: “Now I give you the most important advice: SIMPLIFY. Do less rather than more.”
How many of you meditate?
In addition to this continual warning, another thing that Ben-Shahar preaches(宣揚) in his class is to meditate(冥想，打坐). For a couple of minutes, he asks his students to focus on their breathing. Yes, meditation is a typical Eastern tradition. While modern Chinese people are abandoning our tradition and copying the West without thinking much, Professor Ben-Shahar is promoting Eastern philosophy in his unusually large class. Now more and more Harvard students are starting to practice this age-old Eastern tradition.
What’s the point of meditating anyway? “It’s like you go to the gym. You lift weights and weights. But if you don’t rest, you’ll get injured. The same with the mind.

Positive Psychology談到了一個Model,我個人認為很好玩
Thought=>Emotion
Thought<=Emotion
你要讓你的情緒影響你的思考,還是你的思考影響你的情緒呢?
很棒的思考!!!
