I ask my students on the first day of class, it's a hard class to get into.

And so I'll talk to very powerful people who say, frankly, I'm just not happy.

I will look at their macronutrient profile in the same way that if you said, ah, my digestion's all goofed up.
我會以同樣的方式來看待他們的宏量營養素譜,就像你說,啊,我的消化功能全亂了。
Well, probably you're not getting the right macros.

And ordinarily, what I'll find with strivers is that they're very high in stoic work ethic to get a whole lot of long-term meaning.

If I'm talking to undergraduate students, they're very high in enjoyment on the basis of high dose of pleasure.

Or if they're real success junkies, they're trying to get as much satisfaction as they can.

I've made my peace with that, but go ahead.
我已經接受了,但請繼續。
It is a nice place.

So the point is that the balance that you need in the macronutrient profile of happiness is really the best way to diagnostically understand how happy you are.
所以重點是,你需要平衡幸福的宏量營養素,這才是診斷了解你有多幸福的最佳方法。
That's where I actually start.
這才是我真正的出發點。
That's the definition.
這就是定義。
Satisfaction, enjoyment, plus meaning and purpose.
滿足、享受,加上意義和目的。

We get that sense of satisfaction in the pursuit of something ambitious, right?

But the problem is not that you can't get no satisfaction, as Mick Jagger sings.
但問題並不在於你得不到滿足,正如米克-賈格爾(Mick Jagger)所唱的那樣。
The problem is you can't keep no satisfaction.
問題是,你不可能不滿意。
The real problem is you get it and then it goes.
真正的問題是,你得到它之後,它又消失了。

If you never got it in the first place, it wouldn't be a problem.

If you literally got no satisfaction, there would be no problem.
如果你真的不滿意,那就沒有問題了。
But that you can't keep no satisfaction, that's the real problem.
但你無法保持滿足感,這才是真正的問題所在。
But you can hack it.
但你可以破解它。
You can actually hack it if you understand and go against.
如果你理解並反對,你其實可以黑掉它。
You can get enduring or at least lasting satisfaction if you go against your nature, which is a really interesting body of literature, because it reminds us again that Mother Nature doesn't care if we're happy.
如果你違背自己的天性,你就能獲得持久的滿足感,或者至少是持久的滿足感,這的確是一部非常有趣的文學作品,因為它再次提醒我們,大自然母親並不在乎我們是否快樂。
Mother Nature wants to fool us again and again and again and again to hit the lever because it makes us more genetically fit.
大自然母親想一次又一次地愚弄我們,讓我們一次又一次地按下槓桿,因為它能讓我們的基因更適合。
It helps us to pass on our genes by having more money, more power, more honor than the troglodyte in the next cave was fewer animal skins.

The way to think about it is if you have a concept of your satisfaction in terms of what you have, you're in trouble.
思考的方法是,如果你對自己的滿意度的概念是你所擁有的,那你就有麻煩了。
But if you understand a more accurate model where your satisfaction is what you have divided by what you want, halves divided by wants, then you need a halves management strategy, but more importantly, a wants management strategy.
但是,如果你理解了一個更準確的模型,即你的滿意度是你所擁有的除以你想要的,一半除以想要的,那麼你就需要一個半管理策略,但更重要的是,一個想要管理策略。
The secret to being more satisfied is not having more, it's wanting less.
獲得更多滿足感的祕訣不是擁有更多,而是想要更少。
That's the secret.
這就是祕訣。
And one that's really elusive for all young people today who are psychological hedonists.

What that does is that when you avoid pain, you're avoiding meaning.
