Author Dr Stefan Klein has found that being happy is a skill that can be learned like a foreign language, and one way to train ourselves to be happy is to write down the little things that cheer us up each day – a technique he practises himself.
作者斯蒂芬·克莱因博士发现保持快乐是一门技巧,它可以像学习外语一样通过学习来掌握,训练我们自己快乐的方法之一就是记下每天让我们高兴的事,这门技巧他自己也在研习。
Dr Klein, who analysed psychological research for his book The Science of Happiness, added he often writes about his three young children, despite occasionally finding them 'incredibly annoying'.
Speaking at the Cheltenham Science Festival, the German-born researcher said that decades of study into happiness has shown that people who are clinically depressed1 often believe there are no sources of joy in their lives.
But a study by Italian psychiatrist2 Giovanni Fava found that when patients were asked to keep diaries of events that made them happy, it 'helped them a lot to get better'.
Dr Klein said: 'It is incredibly simple - you just sit down in the evening and write down the moments where you feel happy and the circumstances.
'The object of the exercise is to simply make you more aware of these moments to know yourself better.
'Even in states of severe depression there are moments of happiness, but the person suffering it doesn't believe they have these moments in their lives.'
And if you decide to take Dr Klein's advice, you can make yourself even happier by recommending the technique to others.
