一，背景
“I realized that I was in a wonderful place, with wonderful students around me, wonderful teachers, I was doing wellacademically. I was doing well in athletics. I was doing well socially. Everything was going well. Except for the fact that I was unhappy.”
看似过着完美生活的Tal，内心却一点都不快乐，带着“How can I become happier?”的疑问全身心致力于积极心理学这个领域。
Applying the ideas to my life has made me significantly happier. It was when I realized the impact that it had on me that I decided to share it with others.
二，积极心理学受欢迎的原因
“学术论文的平均读者是7个人，其中包括作者的妈妈。”
1）其他学术研究
“Many of these books, workshops, seminars lack substance. Overpromising and under-delivering. They are not accessible to most people.”
2）积极心理学
The academic + Applied =Science that works. (this is where this class comes in.)
三，关于积极笔记：
1）学会记积极笔记(Active note-taking)；
2）记笔记的方法：be engaged in the material;
3）如何应用：把记下来的笔记告诉分享给他人，更重要的是时常反问自己：how can I take these ideas and apply them to my life?
四，关于time-in
1 ）It is the time where we stop the class and you look inward;
2）time-in和沉默(silence）有很大关系，沉默/安静对于我们的生活、工作、修身等等方面非常重要；
3《the courage to teach》：“Words are not the sole medium ofexchange in teaching and learning, we educate with silence as well. Silence gives us a chance to reflect what we have said and heard.”
五，心理学三大学派；
1）行为主义：只研究所观察到的并能客观地加以测量的刺激和反应。如巴甫洛夫的条件反射；
2）精神分析学：代表佛洛依德，研究潜意识（主要负面的）。主要讨论病态人的无意识，所述内容主要有人的梦、过失、焦虑、动机冲突、情绪紧张以及人格的病理表现。
3）人本主义（衍生出积极心理学）：主要研究正面的。人本主义心理学兴起于20世纪五、六十年代的美国。由马斯洛创立，以罗杰斯为代表，被称为除行为学派和精神分析以外，心理学上的「第三势力」。人本主义和其它学派最大的不同是特别强调人的正面本质和价值，而并非集中研究人的问题行为，并强调人的成长和发展，称为自我实现。
六，幸福课要传授的不是Information，而是transformation
1）Information is about taking data and putting it inside the form;
2）Transformation is about taking this form and changing it.
3）Knowledge is about information, wisdom is about transformation.
4）The interpretation maters very often a lot more as we'll see than the information that goes in.
很喜欢这段话：
“We know of many people around the world who seemingly have everything, who are doing well, who have morn then they need. And yet they are unhappy.
And then there are people around the world who have very little. And yet they never cease and never stop to celebrate life.And we have another way around as well.
People who have everything and appreciate it and enjoy life.
People who have very little and who see themselves as victim.
Happiness is much more contingent on our state of mind than our status of our bank account.”
七，课堂期望
1）“you know if there is a wow, the wow is that there is no wow. 这个课程并不是要教会我们多少新东西，而是提醒那些我们本来就已经知道的东西；
2）“Common sense is not that common“. The aim of this class is to make common sense more common, especially in the real word application.
3）A life, a fulfilling life, a rich life includes ups and downs, includes pain/failure and getting up again.
4) Soul grows more by subtraction than by addition. Getting rid of these limitations which are preventing us from fulfilling our potential.
5）这堂课不是关于幸福人生的答案，而是如何发现正确的问题。Questions make a difference.
6）哈佛大学MBA毕业的学生二十年后最成功、最幸福的人的共性有2点：
1 Really believe in themselves.
2 Always asking questions. They are life-long learner.
努力是会上瘾的
