What all this research was about was the idea that happiness alone.

所有這些研究都在探討一個想法，就是快樂本身。

Happiness can't be something you do alone, in isolation or in competition.

快樂不能是獨自一人、孤立或競爭的。

So I think the reason I want to show you that experiment is because I think it means we've been studying you wrong.

所以我想，我之所以想給你們看那個實驗，是因為我覺得這代表我們過去對你們的研究方式是錯的。

As I look at you now, there's no wires connecting any of your brains.

我現在看著你們，你們的大腦之間沒有任何連接線。

所以我們把你們當成個體來研究。

Here's your intelligence, your creativity, your athleticism, your obesity, your depression, all these different things.

像是你的智能、你的創造力、你的運動能力、你的肥胖、你的憂鬱症，這些不同的東西。

We look at them in isolation as individuals.

我們把牠們當成個體，孤立地來看。

But if I want to test you on creativity, what we do is we put you into a lab.

但如果我想測試你的創造力，我們會把你帶到實驗室。

For four decades, this is what we've done.

四十年來，我們一直都是這樣做的。

Put you in a lab by yourself and ask you how many uses of a brick you can think of in a five minute period of time.

把你一個人帶進實驗室，問你在五分鐘內能想到一個磚塊有多少種用途。

But everyone knows you're more creative when you're around certain people in your life, you're funnier when you're around certain people in your life.

但大家都知道，當你身邊有特定的人時，你的創造力會更高，你也會更有趣。

But we put you in a room full of higher introverts, you act like a pseudo extrovert within that group.

但如果我們把你帶到一個全是高度內曏者的房間裡，你在那個群體裡就會表現得像個偽外向者。

What we're finding is in the midst of this, all these things we thought we could test for individually like on an ACT or sat, or things we could test for individually as personality traits or psychology.

我們發現的是，在這些我們以為可以個別測試的東西，像是 ACT 或 SAT，或是可以個別測試的性格特質或心理學。

We're missing out on the entire ecosystem of potential that predicted the height of your actual potential.

我們錯過了整個生態系統的潛力，而這才是預測你實際潛力高度的關鍵。

What we looked at and the reason I want to show you this is there's no wires connecting any of our brains.

我們觀察到的，以及我之所以想展示給你看的原因是，我們的大腦之間沒有任何導線連接。

But what it means is our brains are wirelessly connected through these mirroring systems, which means that we need to be able to not create self help versions of happiness.

但這意味著我們的大腦透過這些鏡像系統無線連接，這表示我們不能只創造自助式的快樂。

We need to find a way of creating happiness as an interconnected community.

我們需要找到一個方法，以互聯社區的方式來創造快樂。

I want to tell you the two studies that started all this for me, that start big potential, the first one sounds boring, but

我想跟你們分享兩個讓我開始深入研究的實驗，它們能激發巨大的潛力，第一個聽起來有點無聊，但

對我來說，這就是你們在這裡的原因。

And I think the most powerful study that's come out in the past century, what we found is two researchers out in Virginia found that if you're looking at a mountain you need to climb in front of you.

我認為過去一個世紀最厲害的研究，我們發現的是，維吉尼亞有兩位研究人員發現，如果你看到一座要爬的山。

If you're viewing that mountain by yourself, your brain perceives a mountain that is 10 to 20% steeper than a mountain of the same height you perceive while standing next to a friend who's going to climb it with you.

如果你是自己看這座山，你大腦感知到的山會比實際高度相同，但你跟一個將要一起爬的朋友站在一起時感知到的山，還要陡峭 10% 到 20%。

If you're looking a hill you need to climb by yourself, your brain shows you a picture of a mountain 10 to 20% steeper.

如果你自己看一座要爬的坡，你大腦會呈現出一座山 10% 到 20% 更陡峭的影像。

Than a mountain of the same height you perceive while standing next to a friend who's going to climb it with you.

比你跟一個將要一起爬的朋友站在一起時感知到的相同高度的山還要陡峭。

That's not just the physical barriers in front of us.

這不只是我們面前的物理障礙。

That's finding a way of overcoming depression and anxiety.

這是找到克服憂鬱症和焦慮的方法。

That's finding a way of being able to pursue equal pay.

這是找到追求同工同酬的方法。

That's finding a way of being able to be successful within our lives in the midst of our family and the other obligations we have within our life.

這是在我們生活當中，在家人和其他義務的同時，找到能在生活中成功的方法。

As we're looking at those hills, if we're looking at them by ourselves, if it's exhausting in the midst of the political and economic changes we see.

當我們看著那些山坡，如果我們是獨自一人，在我們看到的政治和經濟變遷中感到疲憊。

But the more you surround yourself with people like this, turns out those opportunities change your response to that world.

但當你周圍都是像這樣的人，你會發現這些機會改變了你對這個世界的反應。

I did an article that you can find online with the Harvard Business Review testing what happens when you have individuals come together in a group like this.

我寫了一篇文章，你可以在《哈佛商業評論》網站上找到，測試當人們像這樣聚集在一起時會發生什麼。

And we did it on the conferences for women.

And what we found is that for people that had signed up for a conference, so it's take any selection bias out.

我們發現，對於那些報名參加了會議的人，這樣可以排除任何選擇偏差。

People who had signed up but not yet been to a conference, comparing them in the same economic period of time to people who had been to a conference over the next year period of time.

那些報名參加但還沒去過會議的人，在相同的經濟時期與那些在接下來一年期間去過會議的人相比。

It turns out the people had come who met other people who realized that they weren't alone in these processes and learned from one another.

結果發現，那些來參加會議並認識了其他人，意識到自己並不孤單，並從彼此身上學習的人。

It turns out that your likelihood of promotion doubled and likelihood of pay increase of more than 10% tripled over the next year period of time.

結果發現，在接下來的一年裡，你晉升的機率翻倍，薪水增加超過10%的機率增加了兩倍。

It doesn't guarantee a promotion or a raise, but it significantly increases the likelihood of doing so.

這不能保證晉升或加薪，但它顯著增加了這樣做的可能性。

Happiness and success must be an interconnected pursuit.

快樂和成功必須是互聯社區的追求。
