Boost your bliss: Research increasingly shows that experiences, not things, make us happy. And “it appears that the happiest people are those who are most skilled at wringing experiences out of everything in which they invest their money, whether it’s a guitar, a plane ticket, a camera, cake decorating lessons, or running shoes.” You’ll be happier with your material possessions when you make fun memories out of them—a road trip in a new car, a family party on your new deck.

提升幸福感：多数研究发现，是经历而非事件真正让我们开心。“似乎最开心的那些人就是最擅长把花钱干了什么都写出来的人，无论是买了把吉他，机票，相机，蛋糕课程还是跑步鞋。”一旦这些给你带来了快乐的回忆，那就能让你无比幸福了-比如开着新车旅行，或是在新的游艇上家庭聚会。

Myth: You’re happier after you reach a big goal.

传说：完成大目标之后会更加开心

Science says: Many studies show that people who are striving toward a goal are actually happier than when they accomplish it. This, Lyubomirsky writes, “contradicts one of the primary myths of happiness, which tells us to wait for happiness until we realize our dreams.” Pursuing goals gives us pleasure by creating structure, deadlines, and opportunities to learn new skills.

科学表明：很多调查发现很多人在奔着目标前进的过程，似乎比达到目标之后更加开心。Lyubomirsky写到：“有关幸福最原始的传说莫过于告诉我们要在实现梦想之后才会等来幸福，当然不是这样。”追求目标的过程也能给我们带来快乐，比如计划，最后期限以及寻找机会来学习新技能。
