幸福系列 16 – 我們為什麼會快樂?
「快樂」等不等於「幸福」?
如果是,為什麼會有這兩個名詞?
如果不是,這兩個字為什麼會放在一起?
如果生命只剩最後十分鐘,
你會做些什麼?
花光私房錢
痛扁討厭的主管
喝掉珍藏的好酒
向暗戀已久的人表白
捐出所有積蓄給慈善機構
那有幾件你現在真的會去做?
我們不是應該樂在當下嗎?
所有關於你想知道的幸福快樂的秘密,
吉爾伯特剖開大腦告訴你!

為什麼我們顧忌高膽固醇食物會影響健康,
但吃到一客丁骨牛排時仍會比較開心?
為什麼我們為了退休後的安穩生活辛苦地「存老本」,
退休後卻不一定感到幸福快樂?
腦袋出了大問題!預測及想像未來是大腦的天職,
結果卻總是「空歡喜一場」。
做某些事得到快樂的體驗,
事實上沒有想像中來得好。
實證科學研究是吉爾伯特的解密武器,
這是他有所本的證據。
當最後真相揭開的時候,你不僅會訝異於人類想像未來的獨特能力,
甚至更能知道預測想像快樂的一刻來臨時,會有多麼歡喜,
原來不過是一場誤會。
對於一輩子時時刻刻都在追求的東西,
我們所知是如此的少,你不會感到不解嗎?
跟著《Stumbling on Happiness》一書,展開心理推理奇航,
你會發現一讀再讀,卻樂趣無窮的所在。
這本書是在談一個
非常簡單但卻強而有力的觀念。
我們人類有別於其他動物的地方在於,我們有能力預測未來,
或者應該說我們對預測未來感興趣。
我們會把一生中很多清醒的時刻用來想像,
這樣或那樣、這麼做或那麼做、品嘗或購買或體驗某種狀態
或感覺或事物會是什麼樣子。
我們有很好的理由這麼做,因為我們就是靠它來形塑我們的生活。
而且我們就是企圖在某種程度上掌控未來,才會試著讓自己快樂。
但從任何一個客觀標準來看,
我們其實都不太具備那種預測能力。
我們不太曉得自己在一天、一個月或一年後會有什麼感覺,
更搞不清楚哪些事會、哪些事不會為我們帶來那種可貴的快樂。
吉爾伯特著手描述了事情的原委:
對於這件看起來再重要不過的事,
我們為什麼這麼不在行?
吉爾伯特摒弃了有關幸福的傳統觀念,
從科學的角度爲我們上了一堂新穎生動的幸福課。
人類與其他動物的根本區別在於人類可以預見未來,
因此,人類也就有了區別於其他所有動物的幸福感;但是,
人類對於未來自己的情感預期,往往和實際有著很大的“預測偏差”。
我們都有一個與生俱來的“幸福基礎值”,
生活中的成就與挫折,
往往只是短暫地改變我們的幸福水平。
很快地,我們就會回歸自己的“幸福基礎值”。
那麽,如何才能撞上幸福呢?
丹尼爾·托德·吉爾伯特 教授認爲:
現代社會的人們擁有自主的選擇權,
有史以來第一次,我們的幸福掌握在自己手中,
所以人們應當“智慧地購買”幸福,提升自己的“幸福基礎值”。
書中金句
我們在用其他任何一種動物都不能、也不會採用的方式思考未來,
想像這個簡單而普遍的行為,是人類的特性。
書中金句
每個人都是被自己關於幸福的願景驅動著,
我們的每個行動都源於在想像中這個行動的結果能讓我們更幸福。
書中金句
我們自以為超越萬物的預見能力,
居然是幸福路上屢戰屢敗的罪魁禍首。
2004年2月《碰上幸福》的作者丹尼爾·托德·吉爾伯特,
在TED的演講:
挑戰我們因不如意而感到不快樂的思想。
即使事情沒有按計劃進行,
我們的「心理免疫系統」都能讓我們真正的快樂。

In 2015 The Guardian described the prize as "the most prestigious science book prize in Britain".[2] ========================== Royal Society Prizes for Science Books(原名為艾凡提斯科學書獎(Aventis Prizes for Science Books)) 為鼓勵成人科普書籍及青少年科普讀物的創作、出版,1988年英國皇家學院(Royal Society)得到Copus公司的贊助,設置了「科學圖書獎」(Science Book Prizes),隨著贊助公司的更迭,2000年到2006年「科學圖書獎」名稱以贊助公司Aventis命名,更名為「艾凡提斯科學書獎」(Aventis Prizes for Science Books),2007年到2010年更名為「Royal Society Prizes for Science Books」。 「艾凡提斯科學書獎」分為兩大獎項,成人獎(General Prize)及青少年獎(Junior Prize),;前者主要為適合成人閱讀的科普書籍,後者則適合十四歲以下兒童閱讀的科普讀物,得獎者均可獲得10,000英磅的獎金,入圍者也有1,000英磅的獎金。 成人獎的評選方式是由五位評審從六部入選作品中選出得獎作品,但青少年獎的評審方式則較為特別,是由五位成人評審挑出六部入選作品後,再將推選得獎作品的工作交由十四歲以下學童共同票選決定。 艾凡提斯科學書獎每年均辦理評選工作,長期以來對於科普讀物的推廣已有相當的貢獻,並已成為英國著名的非小說文學獎項了。
