Shane Parrish: 我与Maya Shankar探讨了身份认同的复杂性以及个人转变。我们探索了重大的生活变化如何重塑一个人的自我认知,并解释了如何应对这些转变。Shankar分享了她个人的故事和经验,以及如何做出积极的选择,保持灵活多变的自我认知。我们还讨论了身份认同的心理和哲学层面,并就目标设定和个人成长提供了实用建议。 Maya Shankar: 我经历过因为意外受伤而失去身份认同的痛苦,这促使我研究身份认同。我发现,将身份认同与行为背后的动机联系起来,而不是仅仅与所从事的事业联系起来,会更有助于我们应对生活中的变化。通过多层次的身份认同,我们可以更好地应对挑战,在失去某一身份认同后,仍然能够保持内心的稳定。 在与他人沟通时,应避免直接否定对方的观点,而应以对方认同的道德价值观为基础来论证,并展现出对对方观点的好奇心。在设定目标时,应采用积极的行动性目标,并预留一些‘缓冲日’来应对现实生活中的意外情况。同时,应尽量缩短目标周期,以应对动机在目标追求过程中的波动。我个人每天都使用‘诱惑捆绑’法来激励自己,即将令人愉快的活动与令人不愉快的活动结合起来。 成功在于让人们感到被理解,这需要我们展现同理心和同情心,去理解他人行为背后的原因。 Maya Shankar: 我进入茱莉亚学院的故事展现了积极主动的重要性。即使机会并非直接呈现,我们也应该积极争取。一次手部受伤让我意识到身份认同与个人目标的紧密联系,这促使我研究身份认同。我发现,将身份认同与行为背后的动机联系起来,而不是仅仅与所从事的事业联系起来,会更有助于我们应对生活中的变化。通过多层次的身份认同,我们可以更好地应对挑战,在失去某一身份认同后,仍然能够保持内心的稳定。 在与他人沟通时,应避免直接否定对方的观点,而应以对方认同的道德价值观为基础来论证,并展现出对对方观点的好奇心。在设定目标时,应采用积极的行动性目标,并预留一些‘缓冲日’来应对现实生活中的意外情况。同时,应尽量缩短目标周期,以应对动机在目标追求过程中的波动。我个人每天都使用‘诱惑捆绑’法来激励自己,即将令人愉快的活动与令人不愉快的活动结合起来。 成功在于让人们感到被理解,这需要我们展现同理心和同情心,去理解他人行为背后的原因。
