对这个问题,新近面世的《如果你非常聪明,为什么你不快乐?》(If You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You Happy?)一书提出了不少很有趣的见解.这本书的作者拉吉?洛格纳汗是德克萨斯大学麦库姆斯商学院教授.过去五年,他一直在教授有关快乐的工商管理学硕士课程(开放课程教育平台Coursera上现已有这门课),他研究快乐的时间要长得多.根据洛格纳汗长期研究结果,以及书中附录引用的数百项其他研究,他找出了聪明人和成功人士(书中简写为’S-与-S型人’)没有普通人快乐的七个基本原因.
Apparently, they’re too smart for their own good. For one thing, people with above-average intelligence are most likely to “devalue’ happiness. Everyone wants it, but when they were asked why they didn’t ask the hypothetical genie for it, high achievers were most likely to say that they feared happiness would make them lazy, or that it is fleeting. Most tellingly, smart people often said that happiness is “too abstract, particularly when compared with money, fame, or status,’ Ragunathan writes.
显然,聪明人和成功人士太计较得失了.首先,聪明人很可能会’贬低’快乐的价值.人人都想快乐,可被问及为何不求假想中的精灵让自己快乐时,成功人士很可能会回答,担心快乐让人变懒,或者快乐是稍纵即逝的.洛格纳汗在书中写道,最能说明问题的是,聪明人经常说,快乐’太抽象,特别是同金钱、名利和地位相比.’
