James Smith: 我认为所有成功的感觉都差不多,人们常常觉得达到更高的目标会带来更大的快乐,但实际上,多巴胺的刺激并不会成倍增加。我甚至觉得早期的成功比后来的更大成就更让我快乐。所以,我们应该享受当下的每一个小成就,不要只关注最终的大目标。不要为了未来的目标而牺牲现在的幸福,要为了正确的理由而努力。如果你仅仅为了结果而努力,而不能享受过程,最终会感到痛苦。此外,我们还需要区分快乐和幸福,不要试图用快乐来填补幸福的空缺。高薪但不喜欢的工作,不如放弃,去追求能带来幸福的事业。 Matt D'Avella: 我非常赞同享受过程比结果更重要,那是幸福的源泉。

Deep Dive

Chapters
James Smith challenges the linear relationship between achievement and happiness, suggesting that the feeling of accomplishment plateaus regardless of scale. He emphasizes enjoying smaller wins and finding fulfillment in the process rather than solely focusing on the outcome. The importance of distinguishing between pleasure and happiness is also discussed.
  • All wins feel the same regardless of scale.
  • Enjoying the process leads to happiness, not solely focusing on outcomes.
  • Distinguish between pleasure and happiness; happiness is more sustainable than pleasure.
