哈佛幸福课(3) -- 幸福是一种随机现象吗？

答案是否定的，人是具有主观能动性的，人可以改变自己的幸福感，提高或者降低自己的幸福感。

• We should study the seed of greatness. What is the source of health, success and wellbeing ?
• Getting rid of depression does not guarantee you to be happy. People are accustomed to comfortably numb（舒适地麻木）and quiet depression（沉寂的抑郁）. 当身边越来越多的人陷入到这种“不健康的”、“不合理的”状态中，人们就把它们当做是正常的。But we could be better.
• illness model （疾病模型）与 health model（健康模型）。
• illness model：take away the illness => healthy
• health model：why we get illness and how to recover ? => We do not focus enough on health, and we should cultivate the health, and build what is right.- Human nature needs to be obeyed. We should be a practical idealist.（务实的理想主义者）, and realize that change is possible.
• We should connect what we study and what we learn in academia to our life, we should practice what we think.
• Studying the average is important, but study the best is also important. And most people can get a lot more from that.
• We want to know the potential of human, so we should study the happiest people, the most successful people and the greatest relationships. This is not elitism, it benefits everyone.
• We should focus on what works and the best things.
