幸福感

Figuring out how to walk from A to B is easy in the age of online mapping tools. Just plug in two addresses and off you go. But sometimes getting to a place as quickly as possible isn’t the priority. Take a look at a project in which researchers tried to figure out a city’s “happy” routes.

全球研究显示，处于恋爱关系中的人通常比单身者更幸福健康，但这并非放之四海而皆准。研究发现，个人的社交目标类型——趋近型（追求积极体验）还是回避型（规避负面体验）——深刻影响着恋爱状态与幸福感的关联。对于高回避型目标的人而言，单身与恋爱的生活满意度并无显著差异。

Anxiety could be the price that we have to pay for freedom, suggests psychologist Steven Pinker.

在这个满目疮痍的世界里，追求幸福需要勇气与韧性。我们应活在当下，关注细小的积极改变，建立真挚的人际连结，并主动为自己的幸福承担责任——因为幸福虽难以捉摸，却始终有迹可循。
