Shawn Achor: 幸福并非简单的快乐与痛苦，而是朝着个人潜能发展过程中体验到的喜悦。传统心理学将幸福定义为快乐与痛苦的简单模型，但这并不全面。幸福是朝着个人潜能发展的过程中体验到的喜悦，它与个人的成长和是否有意义的目标息息相关，而非取决于所处环境。外界环境并非幸福的可靠预测指标，幸福可以在意想不到的地方找到。大脑会不断调整对成功的定义，导致即使取得成就也无法获得持续的幸福感。第一步是承认我们对幸福的追求方式是无效的，大脑会不断调整幸福的标准，导致我们永远无法感到满足。改变思维模式和行为模式是找到内在幸福的关键，但这并不意味着不需要外部改变。即使在破碎的世界中，我们也能创造幸福，关键在于如何看待世界。承认现实中存在多种可能性，不要只关注负面因素。四个简单习惯能提升幸福感：感恩、运动、冥想和积极的社交互动。感恩练习可以帮助我们从负面思维中转移注意力，关注生活中的积极方面。寻求社会支持是克服抑郁的关键，因为这会改变我们对挑战的认知。幸福是一个团队运动，需要与他人建立有意义的联系。我们对自身的叙事和视角会影响我们的行为和对意义的认知。孤独感并非取决于人际关系的数量，而是取决于关系中的意义感。幸福和意义源于与他人的互动，而非个体独自追求。即使面临疾病等挑战，也能通过与他人建立联系找到意义和幸福。幸福是一种选择，也是一种可能性。改变个体的思维和行为可以影响周围人的幸福感。 Mel Robbins: 引导听众反思自身对幸福的认知，并鼓励他们积极行动。
