【正文】 Hi, good morning. It’s wonderful to be back here. 各位，早上好。 很高興能回到這里。 Wonderful to see you 。 I am teaching this class because I wish a class like this had been taught when I was sitting in your seat as an undergraduate 希望能學(xué)習(xí)這樣一門課程。 This does not mean it is a class you wish to be taught nor does it mean that it is the right class for 。 But I hope to doing the next couple of lectures is giving you an idea what this class is about so that you can decide whether or not it is for ，你能有個(gè)大概印象讓你決定這門課程是否適合你。 I came here in 1992 and studied the puter science and 1992 年來到哈佛求學(xué)，一開始主修計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)。 And when I had I mini epiphany half way through my sophomore ，突然頓悟了。 I realized that I was in a wonderful place with wonderful students around me, wonderful ，優(yōu)秀的導(dǎo)師。 I was doing well academically. I was doing well in athletics. I was playing squash at that time. I was doing well 。 擅長體育運(yùn)動(dòng)。 那時(shí)壁壘打的不錯(cuò)。社交也游刃有余。 Everything was going well except for the fact that I was unhappy. And I didn’t understand 。 而且我不明白為什么。 It was then in a matter of moments that I decided that I had to find out why and bee 。 And that was when I switched my concentration from puter science to philosophy and 。 With a single question: How can I bee :怎么讓自己開心起來。 Overtime I did bee happier what contributed most to my happiness was when I encountered a new emerging field that time didn’t have the name that it has today.漸漸的，我的確變得更快樂了主要是因?yàn)槲医佑|了一個(gè)新的領(lǐng)域，那時(shí)并未正式命名。 But essentially research that falls under or within the field of positive 本質(zhì)上屬于積極心理學(xué)范疇。 Positive psychology, studying it and applying the ideas to my life has made me significantly happier .研究積極心理學(xué)把其理念應(yīng)用到生活中讓我無比快樂。 It continues to make me 。 And it was when I realized the impact that it had on me that I decided to share it with 。 That’s when I decided that I wanted to be a teacher and teach in this 這門學(xué)科。 So this is positive psychology, psychology ， 1504 號心理學(xué)課程。 And we’ll be exploring this new, relatively new and fascinating 一全新相對新興令人傾倒的領(lǐng)域。 And hopefully, we will be exploring more than the field 們自己。 When I first taught this class that was back in 2020 年。 I taught it at a seminar and had eight students. Two dropped out that left me with six. The year after, the class became slightly larger. I had over three hundred students.是以討論會(huì)的形式，只有 8 名學(xué)生。 兩名退出了只剩我和其他六個(gè)人。一年后學(xué)生稍微多了點(diǎn)。 有 300 多人參加。 And then third year when I taught it which was the last ，也就是上一次開課。 I had 850 students in the class, making it at that point the largest course at Harvard .有 850 名參加是當(dāng)時(shí)哈佛大學(xué)人數(shù)最 多的課程。 And that’s when the media became interested. Because they wanted to understand 。 因?yàn)樗麄兿胫罏槭裁础? They wanted to understand this phenomenon that here you have a class that’s larger than Introduction to Economics. How could that be？ 他們對這一奇特現(xiàn)象非常好 奇竟然有比經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)導(dǎo)論更熱門的課程。 怎么可能呢？ So I was invited by the media for interviews whether it was newspapers, radio, television. 于是我被請去參加各類媒體采訪，報(bào)紙，廣播，電視。 And I started to notice a pattern during those interviews. 在這些采訪中，我發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種有趣的模式。 So I would walk into the interview. We would have the 。進(jìn)行采訪。 And afterwards, the producer or the interviewer would walk me out. And say something to the effects of well, thank you Tal for the ，制片人或主持人會(huì)送我出來。 說些諸如 Tal多謝你抽空參加采訪。 But you know I expected you to be different. 不過你跟我想象的不太一樣的話。 And I would ask, as nonchalant as I could of course. 我漫不經(jīng)心的問。 I didn’t really care but had to ask anyway “How different”. 我無所謂，不過總得回應(yīng) “有何不同？ ” And they would say: Well, you know, we expected you to be more outgoing”. 他們會(huì)說 “這個(gè)嘛，我們會(huì)以為你很外向 ”。 Next interview, the end of the interview, same thing: Thank you for doing the interview”. 下一次采訪結(jié)束時(shí)仍是如此 “多謝接受采訪 ”。 “But you know Tal, I expected you to be different”. 不過 Tal，你跟我想象得不太一樣。 And once again, nonchalant of course so how different. 又一次，我漫不經(jīng)心地問有何不同。 And she would say: “Well you know, we expected you to be less, less introversit”. “這個(gè)嘛，我們沒想到你會(huì)這么內(nèi)向 ”。 Next interview, same thing “How different?” 下一次采訪，仍是如此 “有何不同？ ”。 “Well, you know, more extroverted, more outgoing.” “這個(gè)嘛，更開朗，更外向 ”。 Next interview, “Well, you know, less shy”. 下一次采訪， “這個(gè)嘛，太害羞了 ”。 Coz I get very nervous in interviews. 因?yàn)椴稍L中我容易緊張。 l In
