與前男友複合之前--看這個 (Before You Get Back With Your Ex — Watch THIS)
- Frank answers can spare a couple decades of squabbling. Next, what trouble do I bring into the relationship? How am I difficult to live around? There should be no bristling here. Bearable people have a good handle on their unbearable dimensions. We don't need people to be perfect, we just need them to have a decent sense of how imperfect they are and how much their imperfections are going to cause the other pain. Then, what trouble do you bring into the relationship? How are you difficult to live around? We need agreement on the mutual complications that are being brought to the table. Both people should write their answers down, then show the other their analyses. Can both sides agree on what's most horrible in each person? The more alignment there can be, the less future criticism has to feel like nagging, and the more it can fit into a kinder project of helping someone to change as they would, at their saner moments, wish to change. Then, which bits of my anxiety and unhappiness did I discover were not, after all, your fault? What continued to be difficult even without you around? It's highly tempting when in a relationship to assume that all the misery we face is the fault of the lover. We attribute to the main person in our lives a commanding role in determining our state of mind. But when they're gone, we may be forced to realise a more complex truth – that our low moods and neuroses have their origins, in large part, in us rather than in them. It can, oddly, no longer all be their fault. How did life remain hard, even without them? What might they not be to blame for? Then, what I now appreciate more properly about you is… We're meant never to lose sight of what was great about them, but in reality, we sometimes need the perspective of time to get clearer about their virtues. In the long months since we were together, what sides of them did we realise we most deeply valued? Then, what did I learn from meeting other people? A truly tricky subject, but as we're realising, it's a capacity for eating humble pie that stands a restarted relationship in such good stead.
坦率的回答可以避免幾十年的爭吵。接下來，我給這段關係帶來了什麼麻煩？我是如何難以相處的？這裡不應該有毛刺。可以忍受的人都能很好地控制自己無法忍受的方面。我們不需要人們完美無缺，我們只需要他們對自己有多不完美以及自己的不完美會給對方帶來多大的痛苦有一個正確的認識。那麼，你給這段關係帶來了什麼麻煩？你是如何難以相處的？我們需要就彼此帶來的麻煩達成一致。兩個人都應該寫下自己的答案，然後給對方看自己的分析。雙方能否就每個人身上最可怕的地方達成一致？雙方的意見越一致，今後的責備就越不會讓人覺得是嘮叨，也就越能融入到

生活不是為了快樂 (Life is Not About Being Happy)
- And judged on this basis, many of us have to admit, in the silence of our minds, that we're not really doing very well. There's so much that every year, and perhaps almost every day, comes along to spoil our ambitions. There's a power struggle at the office, there's a problem in our families, our friends feel superficial or disengaged, our anxieties don't abate and our relationships are scratchy or distant. Our difficulties generate a basic layer of misery, but then a secondary layer is swiftly added to it, caused by an underlying sense that our unhappiness represents a fundamental violation of life's true purpose. Not only are we unhappy, we are unhappy that we are unhappy, in the light of our tightly held belief in the possibility of a state of enduring satisfaction. We're both sad and crushed that we have failed at the single most important goal open to all sane and ambitious humans.
據此判斷，我們中的許多人不得不在沉默中承認，我們做得並不好。每年，也許幾乎每天，都會有很多事情來破壞我們的雄心壯志。辦公室裡的權力鬥爭，家庭中的問題，朋友們的膚淺或疏遠，我們的焦慮並沒有減輕，我們的人際關係也很微妙或疏遠。我們的困難產生了一層基本的痛苦，但隨後又迅速增加了第二層痛苦，這是由一種潛在的感覺造成的，即我們的不快樂從根本上違背了生活的真正目的。我們不僅不快樂，我們還因為自己不快樂而不快樂，因為我們堅信有可能獲得持久的滿足。我們既悲傷又崩潰，因為我們未能實現所有理智而有抱負的人所追求的最重要的目標
- It's in such moments of knotted misery that we may gain some relief from reframing our situation. While we may not be able to overcome our burdens themselves, it does lie in our power to alter what these burdens have to mean to us. We may not have to take them as proof of our stupidity or ill-adjustment. They can be signs that we're destined to have interesting lives rather than calm ones, lives marked by a high degree of exploration, psychological understanding and striving rather than settled certainty and equilibrium, what we lack in terms of contentment we may make up for in terms of insight and experience.
在這種痛苦糾結的時刻，我們或許可以通過重塑我們的處境來獲得一些解脫。雖然我們可能無法克服負擔本身，但我們確實有能力改變這些負擔對我們的意義。我們也許不必把它們當作我們愚蠢或不適應的證明。它們可以是一種跡象，表明我們註定要過有趣的生活，而不是平靜的生活；我們的生活以高度的探索、心理理解和努力為標誌，而不是以穩定的確定性和平衡為標誌；我們在滿足感方面的欠缺，可以在洞察力和經驗方面得到彌補。
