金钱能买到幸福吗?这个被讨论了无数次的话题最终未被证实,因为不管如何,没钱的或者缺钱的人比较多,而这些人都认为钱能买到幸福。
while many of us go through life with the pursuit of money on our minds, we’re often told that money can’t buy happiness. but what truth is there in the saying? is there a correlation between money and happiness? and if so, how can we use it to our advantage? 同样的原理也已在团队跟公司组织中测试过。一项实验显示,与其公司组织写张巨额支票给慈善团体,不如把那金额在员工之间均分,让他们捐给自己选择的慈善团体,提升他们的工作满意度。同样地,把奖金花在彼此身上,而不是花在他们自己身上的人们,提升的不只是工作满意度,而且还改善团队绩效跟销售成绩。这已见证于销售和运动团队两者之中。
almost everywhere we look in the world, we see that giving money or gifts to others is positively correlated with happiness. interestingly, the specific way the money is spent on others isn’t important, from trivial guests to major charity efforts, spending something on others is the important aspect of increasing your happiness. 我们在世界上探究几乎每个地方,发现给予别人金钱或礼物和幸福感是正面相关连的。有趣的是,钱以什么特定方式花在别人身上并不重要,从小客人到大型慈善事业,花些钱在别人身上是提升你幸福感的重要面向。
the emotional rewards of pro-social spending are even detectable at the neural level. if you are gonna spend the money on yourself, try to go after e_periences as opposed to material things. traveling or going to an event is more impactful for the vast majority of people in the long run. and while you’re saving up for these biggest e_periences, don’t forget about the daily joys in life. many small, frequent pleasures help to get you through the days and encourage change, which stimulates the brain. 你有燃眉之急的问题想要解答吗?在留言中发问吧,或在facebook和twitter上发问,并订阅以获得更多的每周科学影片。
