シャドーイング練習: 20 Years of Therapy Summarized in 13 Minutes - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ
レッスンを作成中...
1
This is over 20 years of therapy summarized in the next 10 to 15 minutes.
2
My name is Mark Manson.
3
I'm a number one New York Times bestselling author, and for the last 15 years, I've been teaching millions of people practical psychological tips to help them improve their lives.
4
Now, when you go to therapy, no matter what you go for, the first and most important lesson that has to get drilled into your brain is that nobody is coming to save you.
5
And in fact, the fantasy of being rescued is itself the thing keeping you stuck.
6
It's a way of outsourcing responsibility while still feeling noble and justified in your suffering.
7
The most dangerous version of someone is going to save me is when you disguise it as a plan.
8
Once I get the promotion, once I find the right relationship, once I move cities, then I'll finally be okay.
9
Then things are going to start to go well.
10
Meanwhile, every year you spend waiting for the right mentor, partner, or opportunity is a year that you volunteer to stay exactly where you are.
11
Self-reliance is not some rugged individualism cliche.
12
It's the moment you realize that even the people who love you will never want your life more than you do.
13
Now imagine how much the people who don't love you give a shit.
14
That's right.
15
They don't.
16
The second lesson you learn in therapy is that not all of your problems are supposed to be fixed.
17
You just learn to live despite some of them.
18
We've been sold this idea that healing means arriving at some pristine emotional state where nothing hurts you anymore.
19
But that's not healing.
20
That's just denial with a fucking fairytale ending.
21
The truth is that problems never really go away in life.
22
They simply get upgraded for slightly better problems.
23
And that's actually what growth is.
24
That's what improvement is.
25
Going from one problem to another slightly less shitty problem.
26
The people who seem like they have it together haven't solved more problems than you.
27
They've just stopped demanding that every problem be solvable.
28
This is particularly problematic in the self-help industry because what happens is
29
that as soon as people start learning how to heal and solve some of their problems, they become almost addicted to it.
30
They almost go searching for more problems that they can solve.
31
They almost look forward to having a crisis that they can bring to a coach or a therapist.
32
And ironically, this obsessive desire to improve everything can hold you back just as much as not wanting to improve at all.
33
See, there's a strange piece that comes when you stop fighting something and just let it sit there.
34
And what you discover is that most of the suffering was your resistance to the pain, not the pain itself.
35
Another big lesson that you will learn is that you are not afraid of failure.
36
You're just afraid of being seen failing.
37
And those are two very different things.
38
Because ask yourself, if you could fail with total anonymity, with zero witnesses, zero consequences, you would try everything endlessly.
39
Like you wouldn't give a shit.
40
You just fucking go.
41
You do it.
42
So what that tells you is that the fear isn't necessarily about the success
43
or failure or how good you are or how bad you are.
44
It's about some imagined audience that you think will give a shit.
45
Humans are so fucking weird, man.
46
Like we rehearse our humiliation in advance.
47
We pretend the worst possible outcome is true before it actually is because of reasons.
48
And when we do embarrass ourselves, we play it on repeat in our minds, not for years, but for fucking decades.
49
The people you're afraid of not impressing, they're actually barely paying attention to you.
50
They're too busy managing their own fear of being watched to actually give a shit.
51
Another lesson you will learn is that your mind lies to you all the time.
52
And so you have to learn to question it.
53
See, evolutionarily speaking, your brain's job is not to show you reality as it is.
54
Its job is to keep you alive.
55
And those are two very different assignments.
56
Depression lies to you.
57
It tells you that nothing matters when it actually does.
58
Anxiety lies to you.
59
It tells you that everything is going to go wrong when it actually isn't.
60
Insecurity lies to you.
61
It tells you that you aren't good enough as you already are, despite the fact that you kind of are.
62
But these ideas, they feel so real because they speak to you in your voice, in your mind, incessantly.
63
And so the fact is, is that we have thousands of thoughts per day
64
and our instinct is to treat every single one like a fucking CNN breaking news alert, when most of them are just, honestly, commercials and spam.
65
So the skill is not learning how to think positive.
66
It's actually just learning to catch yourself mid-story and asking, is this true?
67
Or am I just on autopilot?
68
Another thing you will learn is that no matter what you do, not everybody will like you.
69
And this is actually a good thing.
70
It took me a long time to figure this out, but the people who dislike you are actually doing you a bit of a favor.
71
They're self-selecting themselves out of your life so that you stop pouring energy into relationships that were never going to work anyway.
72
See, you need people to disagree with you.
73
You need people to find you a little bit abrasive who don't totally understand you.
74
That friction is the proof that you stand for something, that you have an identity, that your life means something.
75
Being universally likable is actually an invisible kind of prison.
76
You're essentially outsourcing all of your self-worth to the world around you
77
and then desperately trying to live up to everybody else's expectations instead of your own.
78
The moment that you accept that some people are going to walk away, no matter what, you finally get permission to show up as who you are.
79
And the people who stay, those are actually your people.
80
And you get to enjoy knowing that for sure.
81
Another thing you'll learn is that feelings are not facts, but they are still worth listening to.
82
See, it's in our default nature to treat our emotions as some fucking cosmic decree handed down by the gods
83
and chiseled into stone.
84
But not only is this wrong, it's actually the complete opposite.
85
Your feelings are always transitory, often arbitrary, wholly self-serving, and occasionally misguided.
86
Basically, feelings are data, but they are not directives.
87
They are telling you something is happening that you might want to change or pay attention to, but not necessarily all the time.
88
Your job is to simply consider them.
89
What you decide to do with them is up to you.
90
Me, personally, I kind of treat my feelings like the comment section on YouTube.
91
It's good to look and see what's there, but I don't take it that seriously.
92
This video is sponsored by Brain.fm.
93
So here's something that therapy teaches you pretty early on, that your brain is terrible at sticking to what you want it to do.
94
The problem, of course, as always, is focus.
95
The fact of the matter is that we live in a distracting world
96
and our brains don't just fall into line because we want them to.
97
We have to put them in the right environment too.
98
And that's where Brain.fm comes in.
99
It's actually music built with audio engineered specifically to shift your brainwaves into focus states.
100
It uses functional neuroscience to get you locked in faster and keep you there longer.
101
Now, I've been using it quite a bit when I write.
102
I used it to help me write the script for this video.
103
I mean, it works really well.
104
Not only do they have a team of PhDs crafting the sonic scapes for you, but they recently had a study published in Nature verifying Brain.fm's effectiveness.
105
Brain.fm has been doing this for over a decade.
106
Millions of sessions, peer-reviewed research behind the tech.
107
It is the lowest friction, highest ROI cognitive tool that I've ever come across, and you can try it one month for free by going to brain.fm slash IDGAF.
108
That's brain.fm slash IDGAF.
109
Stands for I don't give a fuck.
110
Or just check out the link in the description.
111
Another thing you'll learn is that sometimes the best thing you can do is let a dream die.
112
Holding on to the wrong dream is like staying in a dead marriage.
113
It itself may not make you miserable, but it will definitely prevent you from finding happiness.
114
The truth is that most of the things we hope for for ourselves at 20, we will figure out that they are completely impractical,
115
unrealistic, or flat out misguided by the time that we're 40.
116
I mean, when I think about the shit that I wanted to do when I was 20, thank god i let that stuff go i wouldn't be here right now
117
if i was doing the stuff i wanted to do at 20
118
and that's okay like there's nothing wrong with
119
that that's actually how life is supposed to go i don't know
120
when we romanticize this idea that
121
when you have a dream you're just supposed to like fucking run yourself into the ground trying to achieve it
122
that might work for a very few select people of exceptional talent
123
but for most of us we're gonna have to jump around three
124
or four times throughout our lives to actually figure out where we belong.
125
And if you mature at any reasonable rate, you will be fucking thankful you did not become the person you hope to be at 20.
126
But I think people avoid this because they often feel like they've invested so much in a dream.
127
They've already done so many things.
128
They spent so much time and energy.
129
But that sunk cost fallacy, it will eat your entire life if you let it.
130
Ultimately, grief is the price of letting a dream go.
131
And most people would rather stay miserable and stuck than to have to feel that grief.
132
You will also eventually learn that your limitations are actually good for you.
133
This is the affliction of our age.
134
Infinite options creates infinite paralysis, not freedom.
135
The person with 10,000 choices and the person with zero choices end up in the same place, not doing a fucking thing.
136
The truth is constraints force creativity.
137
Every great artist, entrepreneur, and thinker produce their best work inside of a box, not outside of it.
138
Saying no to 95% of the things in your life is is what gives the remaining 5% significance.
139
So a life without limits is ultimately a life without depth.
140
An ocean a thousand miles wide and an inch deep.
141
Your mortality is a limitation.
142
Your energy is a limitation.
143
Your time is a limitation.
144
Your lack of talent is a limitation.
145
Your upbringing is a limitation.
146
These are not faults.
147
They are the entire reason anything you do matters.
148
Ask yourself, what are you going to do with them?
149
You will also eventually learn that your parents did their best and still fucked it up.
150
Both of those things can be true at the same time.
151
This is where most people get stuck.
152
They think they have to choose between their compassion for their parents and the honesty about how fucked up their childhood was.
153
You don't.
154
They did their best does not necessarily mean their best was good.
155
It just means they tried.
156
And let's be honest, trying matters.
157
It means something.
158
One way I sometimes think about it is that
159
if they gave 100% and it only ended up being 50% of what you needed, that is not either of your faults.
160
It sucks, it's unfortunate, and it probably hurts, and you've probably been carrying around that fucking trauma backpack for a long time, but it's not necessarily anybody's fault.
161
Forgiving your parents isn't really about letting them off the hook.
162
It's about letting you off the hook.
163
It's about stopping the bleed so you can move forward with your life.
164
It is selfish in the best way.
165
And by the way, your parents were also raised by supremely fucked up people who also happened to do their best, and it was not nearly enough.
166
I remember right after I finished college, I got really mad at my dad for something
167
and was kind of giving him a bunch of grief about not being there enough or something.
168
A week later, he told me this story about how his parents, my grandparents, didn't even attend his graduation.
169
They just gave him a phone call and said, good job, son, and then hung up.
170
I was like, okay, yeah, this was an improvement.
171
Thanks, dad.
172
And finally, you will learn that only a few people in your life will matter in the long run.
173
Over the course of your life, you will probably meet thousands of people.
174
and hundreds of them will strike you as really interesting or fun to hang out with or fun to get to know.
175
And you will over-index on the opinions of those few hundred people.
176
But the truth is, is that only a handful, maybe a dozen people at most, will actually meaningfully change the trajectory of your life.
177
And so when you find those people, you really have to prioritize them.
178
Because all those others that you think care about whatever the fuck you're doing, they're just background noise.
179
As a rule, we tend to overinvest in the quantity of our relationships because intimacy is difficult and terrifying.
180
Knowing five people deeply means five people can actually really hurt you.
181
Therefore, it's easy to distract ourselves with fake friends, more contacts, more networking opportunities, you know, friends of friends,
182
cool parties, awesome events to fucking Instagram ourselves at, and of course, keeping all of our options wide open.
183
But on your deathbed, you will not think about your follower count, you will not think about your networking contacts,
184
and you will not think about anybody who liked a single post you ever put online.
185
You will probably think about five or six faces.
186
So act accordingly now.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
