Even though I studied social psychology for many years and...
即便我学了很多年社会心理学……
I took time off, where I immersed myself in positive psychology material.
我会抽出点时间,将我自己沉浸于积极心理学的材料中
I read the handbook of positive psychology which is a very good weapon to use. If anyone comes close, you can just throw at them.
我读了积极心理学手册,这是个非常好的武器。如果有人接近,你可以用这个砸他
It's about this big. But very good. I read hundreds of academic journal articles. And then I took time off.
大概有这么厚,但是是很不错的书。我读了成百上千的学术文献。然后我就抽出点时间
And during that time off, I talked about positive psychology, but I didn't work in positive psychology.
在那段时间,我谈论积极心理学,但我不对此下太多功夫
I had conversation with my wife, with Phil Stone, with my brother about this.
我和我妻子聊,和菲利普·斯通聊,和我哥哥聊
And that's when the eurekas came.
正是这时灵光一现
That's when the insights came. I said, "OK so this is how the course is going to be built. This is the spiral. "
正是这时我顿悟了。我说"这门课就应该是这样组织的。这就是那根螺旋"
Then I had the idea of PPEO, Post Peak Experience Order, as an idea, an ah ha moment.
然后我想到了PPEO,峰值后体验,这样的灵光一现
And afterwards, I evaluated it. I evaluated myself. I evaluated by talking to other people about it to see if it works
之后我就对其进行评估,我评估自身。我通过和他人交流来评估,看看它是不是真的有用,
and then I sat down and spent hours and hours and hours, writing out the lectures. All my lectures are written out.
然后我坐下来,花很多很多的时间把课的内容写出来。每堂课都写了出来,
Obviously I don't read them. But in preparation, when I prepare for the lectures, I do read them a few times.
显然我没有照本宣科。但在准备时,在我准备上课时,我确实会看几遍
That was the elaboration. That is the creative process, whether it's putting together a class,
那就是详细阐明,这就是创造的过程,不管是准备一门课
or putting together a great organization, of writing a great book or creating a great relationship.
或者运作一个机构,写本好书,或者发展一段良好的关系
I'll see you next week. Have a wonderful weekend.
下周见,周末愉快
