第1讲 什么是积极心理学

三大势力

1. behaviorism 行为主义
2. psychoanalysis 精神分析学
3. humanistic psychology 人本主义心理学

人本主义心理学是对现存两大实例的一种呼应，对行为主义和精神学的异议。

人本主义心理学引入了很多很棒的思想，但是缺乏严谨的论证。

本课宗旨

information is not enough, we also need transformation.

发掘我们的潜能，这是我们与生俱来的，或许我们没有发现，或许被其他东西掩盖。

It’s about chipping away perfectionism, that is debilitating and often hurts us.

Souls grows more by subtraction than by addition.

老子曰：“为学日益，为道日损”。
Lao Tzu, in pursuit of knowledge, every day something is acquired; In pursuit of wisdom, every day something is dropped.

Knowledge is about information, wisdom is about transformation.

It’s Voltaire once said, common sense is not that common.

This class is aim to help you chip away some of these limitations, whether it’s limitation:

1. cognitive limitations that prevent you from seeing what you already knew.
2. emotional limitations that are preventing you from deriving the benefit of what you already know.
3. behavior limitations. The ABC: affect behavior and cognition.

Questions make difference

Peter Drucker, “the most common source of mistake in management decisions is the emphasis on finding the right answer rather than the right question.”
