Psychologist Abraham Maslow's quotes, "Generated by this new humanistic philosophy is also a new conception of learning, of teaching, and of education. Stated simply, such a concept holds that the function of education, the goal of education - the human goal, the humanistic goal, the goal so far as human beings are concerned - is ultimately the 'self-actualization' of a person, the becoming fully human, the development of the fullest height that the human species can stand up to or that the particular individual can come to. In a less technical way, it is helping the person to become the best that he is able to become."

-part 5. 設定目標

「目標只是手段,不是目的;真正目的是在追求目標過程中所帶來的快樂。」書中舉例,一位年輕人和一群老僧攀登喜馬拉雅山,年輕人是隊中最年輕的,卻是爬得最吃力的一位。因為這位年輕人一心只想完成攻頂,忽略享受登山的樂趣,也喪失繼續前進的欲望和體力。

目標應當扮演的角色是:『讓人毫無牽掛地享受當下。』只要腦海裡有個目的地,大概知道自己的行進方向,就能自由自在,聚精會神地享受當下。

-part 6. 教育上的快樂

學習動機有兩種模式:「一是溺水模式,二是做愛模式。」

『溺水模式』:渴望脫離苦海,或害怕失敗,所以用拼命三郎的方式唸書,等到考完試後就解脫了。

『做愛模式』:則是兼顧現在和未來的利益。把美好的閱讀、研究、思考時光當成做愛的「前戲」;而為某個問題找到解答看成做愛的「高潮」。

-part 7. 職場上的快樂

Abraham Maslow's quotes:「一個人最好的運氣和最大的福分,就是有人付錢請他從是他衷心喜愛的工作。」

運用MPS流程:意義-->樂趣-->專長,檢視哪些工作會使我們快樂。

-part 8. 感情上的快樂

心理學家布蘭登:「愛情最重要的互補關係是:除了照顧自己的利益,也要考慮對方的利益。」

養成每個月對你關心的人,至少寫一兩封感謝函的習慣。
