In the past year, I want you to just raise your hand

過去一年裡有的話可不可以舉一下手

if you've experienced relatively little stress.

如果你曾感受到有一點點壓力的

那有沒有人是承受了相當大的壓力的？

My confession is this: I am a health psychologist,

我要跟大家坦誠的是：我是一個健康心理學家

and my mission is to help people be happier and healthier.

我的職責就是要幫助人們過得更開心也更健康

But I fear that something I've been teaching

但我擔心過去這十年來所傳授的恐怕反而是帶來了反效果

for the last 10 years is doing more harm than good,

For years I've been telling people, stress makes you sick.

這些年來我不斷告訴人們壓力會帶來疾病

It increases the risk of everything from the common cold

它會增加生病的風險即便是一般的小感冒

Basically, I've turned stress into the enemy.

但我現在對壓力有了不同的看法

Let me start with the study that made me rethink

我對於壓力看法的研究報告說起吧

This study tracked 30,000 adults in the United States for eight years,

這個研究花了八年的時間追蹤美國的三萬名成年人

"How much stress have you experienced in the last year?"

「過去一年裡你承受了多少的壓力？」

「你是否相信壓力對你的健康是有害的？」

People who experienced a lot of stress in the previous year

過去一年裡承受相當大壓力的人

had a 43 percent increased risk of dying.

who also believed that stress is harmful for your health.

In fact, they had the lowest risk of dying

事實上，這群人的死亡風險反而是最低的

Now the researchers estimated that over the eight years

研究人員根據過去八年間所追蹤的死亡人數作出統計

死因並非壓力所導致而是如果他們相信

這個數字顯示出每年有超過2萬人因此死亡

that would make believing stress is bad for you

死於這個原因的人就比死於皮膚癌的人還多

You can see why this study freaked me out.

由此可知為什麼這個研究會讓我這麼擔憂了

Here I've been spending so much energy telling people

改變你對壓力的想法就能讓你變得更健康嗎？

make you healthier? And here the science says yes.

you can change your body's response to stress.

你同時也會改變身體對於壓力的反應機制

現在為了向大家說明這如何運作

I want you all to pretend that you are participants

我希望大家假裝自己是這個保證讓你壓力大增的研究受訪者

and you're told you have to give a five-minute

被告知你要針對自己的弱點進行一場五分鐘的即席演講

impromptu speech on your personal weaknesses

to a panel of expert evaluators sitting right in front of you,

對象是坐在你面前的一群專業評審

並且為了確保你一定會倍感壓力

there are bright lights and a camera in your face,

to give you discouraging, non-verbal feedback like this.

Now that you're sufficiently demoralized,

即便現在你已經完全像是個洩了氣的皮球

事情還沒完，下一步是數學測驗

the experimenter has been trained to harass you during it.

從996開始，以減7的方式倒算回去

而且念得越快越好從996開始算起

We are going to have to start all over again. (Laughter)

所以我們必須從頭來過 （笑聲）

試想一下如果你真的在這個研究裡
