What makes a good life? Lessons from the longest study on happiness

幸福是什么？请看历时最长的关于幸福的研究成果

What
keeps
us
healthy
and
happy
as
we
go
through
life?
If
you
were
going to invest now in your future best self, where would you put your
time and your energy? There was a recent survey of millennials asking
them
what
their
most
important
life
goals
were,
and
over
80
percent
said
that
a
major
life
goal
for
them
was
to
get
rich.
And
another
50
percent of those same young adults said that another major life goal was
to become famous.

在我们的人生中是什么让我们保持健康且幸福呢？如果现在你可以
为未来的自己投资 你会把时间和精力投资在哪里呢？最近在千禧一
代中有这么一个调查问他们生活中最重要的目标是什么超 过
80%
的
人说最大的生活目标就是要有钱还有
50%
的年轻人说另 一个重要的
生活目标就是要出名

And we're constantly told to lean in to work, to push harder and achieve
more. We're given the impression that these are the things that we need
to
go
after
in
order
to
have
a
good
life.
Pictures
of
entire
lives,
of
the
choices
that
people
make
and
how
those
choices
work
out
for
them,
those
pictures
are
almost
impossible
to
get.
Most
of
what
we
know
注：尊重原创，素材来源于网络，好的内容值得分享，如有侵权请联系删除。

about
human
life
we
know
from
asking
people
to
remember
the
past,
and as we know, hindsight is anything but 20/20. We forget vast amounts
of
what
happens
to
us
in
life,
and
sometimes
memory
is
downright
creative.

而且我们总是被灌输要投入工 作，
要加倍努力要成就更多。
我们被灌
输了这样一种观念，
只有做到刚才说的 这些才能有好日子过。
要人们
纵观整个人生，想象各种选择，以及这些选择最终导致的结果，几 乎
是不可能的。关于人的一生，我们能了解到的，大部分都是通过人的
回忆得来，但众所周知， 大部分都是事后诸葛。一生中，我们会忘记
很多发生过的事情，而且记忆常常不可靠。


01:33

But
what
if
we
could
watch
entire
lives
as
they
unfold
through
time?
What if we could study people from the time that they were teenagers
all
the
way
into
old
age
to
see
what
really
keeps
people
happy
and
healthy?

但如果我们可以从头到尾地纵观人的一生呢？如果我们可以跟踪 研
究一个人，
从他少年时代开始一直到他步入晚年，
看看究竟是什么让
人们保 持快乐和健康呢？


01:52

We
did
that.
The
Harvard
Study
of
Adult
Development
may
be
the

longest
study
of
adult
life
that's
ever
been
done.
For
75
years,
we've
tracked
the
lives
of
724
men,
year
after
year,
asking
about
their
work,
their
home
lives,
their
health,
and
of
course
asking
all
along
the
way
without knowing how their life stories were going to turn out.

我们做到了。哈佛大学（进行的）这项关于成人发展的研究，可能是
同类 研究中耗时最长的。在
75
年时间里，我们跟踪了
724
个人的一
生 ，年复一年，了解他们的工作、家庭生活、健康状况，当然，在这
一过程中，我们完全不知道他们的人生 将走向何方。


02:21

Studies like this are exceedingly rare. Almost all projects of this kind fall
apart within a decade because too many people drop out of the study, or
funding
for
the
research
dries
up,
or
the
researchers
get
distracted,
or
they die, and nobody moves the ball further down the field. But through
a
combination
of
luck
and
the
persistence
of
several
generations
of
researchers, this study has survived. About 60 of our original 724 men
are still alive, still participating in the study, most of them in their 90s.
And
we
are
now
beginning
to
study
the
more
than
2,000
children
of
these men. And I'm the fourth director of the study.

像这样的研究少之又少。像这样的项目几乎都会在
1 0
年内终止，因
为有许多人会中途退出，
或者是研究资金不足，
或者是研究者 转换方
向，或者去世，
然后项目无人接手。但感谢幸运女神的眷顾和几代研

究人员的坚持不懈，这个项 目存活下来了。目前这
724
人中仍有
60
人在世，仍然在参与研究大多数人 已经
90
多岁了。现在我们已经开
始研究他们的子孙后代，人数多达
2000
多人。我是这个项目的第四
任负责人。

Since 1938, we've tracked the lives of two groups of men. The first group
started
in
the
study
when
they
were
sophomores
at
Harvard
College.
They all finished college during World War II, and then most went off to
serve in the war. And the second group that we've followed was a group
of boys from Boston's poorest neighborhoods, boys who were chosen for
the study specifically because they were from some of the most troubled
and
disadvantaged
families
in
the
Boston
of
the
1930s.
Most
lived
in
tenements, many without hot and cold running water.

从
1938
年起，我们开始跟踪两组人的生活。第一组加入 这个项目的
人，当年在哈佛大学上大二。他们在二战期间大学毕业，大部分人都
参军作战了。< br>我们追踪的第二组人是一群来自波士顿贫民区的小男孩，
他们之所以被选中，
主要是因为 他们来自
20
世纪
30
年代波士顿最困
难最贫困的家庭。大部分住在 廉价公寓里，很多都没有冷热水供应。


03:51

When they entered the study, all of these teenagers were interviewed.
注：尊重原创，素材来源于网络，好的内容值得分享，如有侵权请联系删除。

They
were
given
medical
exams.
We
went
to
their
homes
and
we
interviewed their parents. And then these teenagers grew up into adults
who entered all walks of life. They became factory workers and lawyers
and
bricklayers
and
doctors,
one
President
of
the
United
States.
Some
developed
alcoholism.
A
few
developed
schizophrenia.
Some
climbed
the social ladder from the bottom all the way to the very top, and some
made that journey in the opposite direction.

在 加入这个项目时，这些年轻人都接受了面试。接受了身体检查。我
们挨家挨户走访了他们的父母。
然后这些年轻人长大成人，
进入到社
会各个阶层。成为了工人、律师、砖匠、医生，还有一位 成了美国总
统。有人成为酒鬼，有人患了精神分裂。有人从社会最底层一路青云
直上，也有人恰 相反，掉落云端。


04:32

The
founders
of
this
study
would
never
in
their
wildest
dreams
have
imagined that I would be standing here today, 75 years later, telling you
that the study still continues. Every two years, our patient and dedicated
research staff calls up our men and asks them if we can send them yet
one more set of questions about their lives.

这个项目的创始人们，可能做梦都不会想到
75
年后的今天，我会站
在这里，告诉你们这个项目还在继续。每两年，我们耐心而专注的研
究人员会打电话给我们的研究对象 ，
问他们是否愿意再做一套关于他

们生活的问卷。


04:56

Many of the inner city Boston men ask us,
study me? My life just isn't that interesting.
that question.

那些来自波士顿的人问 我们，
“为什么你们一直想研究我？我的生活
是很无趣的。
”但哈佛的人从没这样问过 。


05:17

To
get
the
clearest
picture
of
these
lives,
we
don't
just
send
them
questionnaires.
We
interview
them
in
their
living
rooms.
We
get
their
medical records from their doctors. We draw their blood, we scan their
brains,
we
talk
to
their
children.
We
videotape
them
talking
with
their
wives about their deepest concerns. And when, about a decade ago, we
finally
asked
the
wives
if
they
would
join
us
as
members
of
the
study,
many of the women said,

为了更好地了解这些人的生活，
我们不光给他们 发问卷。
我们还在他
们家客厅采访他们。从他们医生那儿拿病历。抽他们的血，扫描他们
的大脑，跟他们的孩子聊天。我们拍摄下他们和妻子谈话的场景，聊
的都是他们最关心的问题。大约在
10
年前，我们终于开口问他们的
妻子，是否愿意加入我们的研究，很多女士都说，< br>“是啊，终于轮到

我们了。
”


05:48

So what have we learned? What are the lessons that come from the tens
of thousands of pages of information that we've generated on these lives?
Well,
the
lessons
aren't
about
wealth
or
fame
or
working
harder
and
harder. The clearest message that we get from this 75
-
year study is this:
Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Period.

那么我们得到了什么结 论呢？那长达几万页的数据记录，
记录了他们
的生活，我们从这些记录中间，到底学到了什么？ 不是关于财富、名
望，或更加努力工作。从
75
年的研究中，我们得到的最明确的结论
是：良好的人际关系能让人更加快乐和健康。就这样。


06:19

We've
learned
three
big
lessons
about
relationships.
The
first
is
that
social connections are really good for us, and that loneliness kills. It turns
out that people who are more socially connected to family, to friends, to
community, are happier, they're physically healthier, and they live longer
than
people
who
are
less
well
connected.
And
the
experience
of
loneliness turns out to be toxic. People who are more isolated than they
want
to
be
from
others
find
that
they
are
less
happy,
their
health
declines
earlier
in
midlife,
their
brain
functioning
declines
sooner
and
