Adam Grant: 我发现对他人怀恨在心或不合理地不原谅他人会对自身造成伤害,过于不宽容对自己的健康不利。我一直认为宽恕是一种美德,但现在我意识到,不宽恕实际上是在惩罚自己。 Michael McCullough: 怀恨在心和无法释怀的伤害会导致失眠、精力下降、血压问题以及沉溺于无益的回忆中。如果你一直怀恨在心,给过去伤害你的人贴上标签,拒绝他们重回你的生活,你就会失去社会支持的来源。你还会陷入一种只想着自己如何被虐待,而不是想着别人如何善待你的精神状态。这会导致受害者情结,对心理健康产生负面影响。

Deep Dive

Shownotes Transcript

In this season of WorkLife, we’re pairing each of our regular episodes with a companion interview to do a deeper dive into the topic. This is the companion for our episode on the secrets of a great apology. Michael McCullough is a psychology professor at UC San Diego and a pioneer in the study of forgiveness, gratitude, and empathy—he finds that although forgiveness is important, it isn’t always the answer to conflict. Michael and Adam discuss why humans evolved to forgive, examine what causes people to hold grudges, and settle last episode’s debate about whether it’s appropriate to ask for forgiveness.
