1
Good morning to all of you.
2
What an honor it is to be here at ARC.
3
I've been looking forward to this.
4
This is a movement that's now worldwide that I'm so delighted to be part of.
5
Thank you to Philippa Stroud and to Jordan Peterson,
6
who has my unvarnished admiration and amazement,
7
and to all of you for being part of this movement.
8
They asked me to come here and talk about,
9
well, to pick up where Jeff left off,
10
on the science of happiness.
11
See, that's what I teach at Harvard University.
12
I'm a behavioral scientist dedicated to the neuroscience and social science around happiness.
13
It seems like a weird subject to teach at a business school perhaps,
14
but it really isn't.
15
I teach the business of life.
16
You are all entrepreneurs in the sacred enterprise of your own life.
17
You're the founder, you're the CEO,
18
but you You have to know the currency of the fortune that you're trying to accumulate.
19
It's not money or power or pleasure or fame,
20
admiration, no. It's love and happiness.
21
Do you know how to accumulate that?
22
Do you know how to bring that to others?
23
Well that's what I teach.
24
As a matter of fact,
25
I'll be teaching that tomorrow morning in the classroom at the Harvard Business School.
26
And I want to tell you what I'm teaching them.
27
And the next 13 minutes and 50 seconds I'm going to give you the entire semester.
28
Now not really, but I'm going to start with the biggest mistake that people make about happiness in this world today.
29
They think it's a feeling.
30
It's not.
31
The feeling of happiness is like the smell of your dinner.
32
It's evidence of dinner.
33
No, no. Your happiness is something that you can actually understand,
34
change your habits for and get more of if you know what it is.
35
Happiness is a combination of three macronutrients, enjoyment, satisfaction, and meaning.
36
And when you know how to get more of those,
37
you can have a better life and you can fight for those things in our society,
38
our culture, and our public policy to bring it to a world that needs it so much.
39
So let me tell you how to do
40
that in just a few brief words in the time that I have with you.
41
Now there are a lot of misconceptions about these things.
42
The mistake that people make of thinking that enjoyment is the same thing as pleasure.
43
It's not.
44
Pleasure is an animal thing.
45
Enjoyment adds people and memory to make it uniquely human.
46
Satisfaction is the joy that you get from accomplishing something hard with struggle humans want that.
47
And finally there's meaning.
48
Meaning the idea of the coherence of your life,
49
the purpose with goals, the significance that your life matters,
50
the outlook or our good practices.
51
No, on the contrary.
52
Wonderful research that actually looks at identical twins that were separated at birth and adopted into separate families.
53
This is not a diabolical Harvard study that did this,
54
it just happened naturally.
55
When we reunite these people at the age of 40
56
and give them personality tests and tests about all different parts of their lives,
57
you find that about 50% of their difference in happiness is genetic.
58
Your mother literally made you unhappy.
59
This is important to understand because what this means is not that happiness is out of your control,
60
no, on the contrary.
61
The same studies show that 50% of your tendency to abuse alcohol, also genetic.
62
But if you came to me and said,
63
my parents drank too much and my grandparents too,
64
so I guess I'm going to be an alcoholic,
65
I'd say, oh, you missed a step.
66
Because you know this, you can turn that genetic proclivity to zero by not drinking.
67
That means habits are important if you know yourself.
68
So the first 50% of your tendency toward happiness is genetic.
69
The next 25% is circumstantial.
70
The good things and the bad things in your life and my students,
71
they think that's everything.
72
If I can just get better circumstances,
73
the job, the money, the position,
74
the family, whatever it happens to be, great.
75
But that's transient.
76
That's evanescent.
77
It turns out that it's true that in any given moment,
78
nice circumstances will drive your happiness up by 25% or down by 25% if you're experiencing unfortunate circumstances,
79
but it doesn't last.
80
What you need are good habits that will will give you systematically better circumstances.
81
And that's the last 25%,
82
which is what I want to talk about with you today,
83
for you and your kids and our society.
84
The happiness habits.
85
Now these are the things that if you pay attention to them and cultivate them and practice them every day,
86
will give you 25% of your happiness under your direct control.
87
It will allow you to improve your circumstances and manage your genetic proclivities.
88
But you've got to know what they are.
89
Now I could give you 10,000 little habits, but they're trivial.
90
There's only four that really matter.
91
All of the science, all the neuroscience,
92
behavioral science, unhappiness, it comes down to these four.
93
Here they are.
94
Here's what you need to put in the accounts every day.
95
This is your happiness pension plan.
96
Make a deposit every day in these four accounts.
97
You ready?
98
Your faith, your family, your friendship, and your work.
99
Those are the four.
100
Now when I say faith,
101
I don't mean my faith.
102
I'm a Roman Catholic.
103
It's literally the most important thing in my life.
104
But as a, thank you,
105
so we've got some Catholics here.
106
But as a social scientist,
107
I will tell you that my path toward happiness is not necessarily the only path.
108
you need is not a particular religious path.
109
Again, metaphysically is a different matter entirely.
110
But for happiness, what you need is a path that will help you to transcend yourself.
111
See, we're stuck in the psychodrama of life every day.
112
My job, my commute, my money,
113
my lunch, my television shows.
114
It's so boring.
115
What we need is relief and peace and perspective,
116
and the only way to do that,
117
the only way to do that is to get small and make the universe large,
118
to cut our narcissism and pay attention to the,
119
in awe, to what's greater than us.
120
Lots of ways to do that.
121
Some people like to study the stoic philosophers,
122
and other people like to walk in nature without devices for an hour before dawn,
123
or study the fugues of Johann Sebastian Bach,
124
or to to practice Vipassana meditation,
125
or like me, to practice with seriousness the faith of your youth,
126
but you need something to get small and to not let the narcissistic world take over your soul.
127
That's faith.
128
Second is family, family life.
129
You know, family life is a mysterious one.
130
I could explain the neuroscience,
131
the hormones and neuropeptides in the brain that tell us who are our people and our people belong to us,
132
but it's still like a miracle when you see those people
133
and it's like the 4th of July in America inside your head.
134
How important that really is.
135
And there's so many things that are ripping us apart.
136
One in six Americans today is not speaking to a family member because of politics.
137
That's falling prey to somebody else's culture war.
138
Don't let it happen to you.
139
There's one reason to have schism with your family,
140
and that's abuse and newsflash.
141
Differences of political opinion are not abuse.
142
They're an opportunity, is what they are,
143
to understand each other and to live with each other in love.
144
And then, of course, there's the culture that says that marriage and kids are for suckers.
145
No, that's the fast route to happiness.
146
Third, of course, is friendship.
147
Friendship.
148
Friendship.
149
And there have been so many forces that have militated against effective friendships in our society.
150
Zoom friendships don't work.
151
Social media friendships.
152
That's not real friends.
153
And then of course there's the whole professionalization of friendship.
154
I make a big distinction in my work between real friends and deal friends.
155
You know the difference.
156
If you're wondering, deal friends are the useful people to you,
157
real friends are the useless people to you.
158
Do you have enough useless people in your life?
159
I don't mean worthless, I have them too.
160
So, so, so, this is important, and these are relationships.
161
Well, there's one more, which is work.
162
Work is so critically important,
163
but I have studied work in my profession as a social scientist.
164
I was trained as an economist,
165
and I've looked at different kinds of jobs,
166
and different kinds of jobs don't predict happiness.
167
They don't bring joy or different levels of income or education.
168
That doesn't do it either.
169
No, no, no, no. There's only two things that predict joy from your work.
170
Earning your success and serving others.
171
I don't care if you're a bus driver or a politician or a CEO.
172
You need to earn your success and serve other people.
173
That is the essence of joy from work.
174
Now, earning your success means that you're creating value with your life,
175
and value in the lives of other people.
176
That means you are being rewarded and acknowledged for merit and hard work and personal responsibility.
177
That is why there is one economic system that brings joy to work,
178
and that's the free enterprise system.
179
That's the only one that we've ever invented.
180
But more importantly, we need to be needed.
181
The essence of dignity is to be needed.
182
The essence of despair is to be managed like a liability,
183
which is why our welfare systems do such a poor job.
184
They treat people at the margins of society like liabilities to manage,
185
as opposed to assets to develop.
186
You need to be needed, and so do I.
187
And that means in your work,
188
you need to serve other people and see how you're helping other people to live better lives.
189
The free enterprise system does that too.
190
Now I talk about capitalism and free enterprise a lot not
191
because I'm worried about GDP growth I am but that's not why
192
because I want more human dignity because I want more happiness
193
This is the essence of the four values that I'm talking about here.
194
It's not a political agenda at all It's an agenda of human flourishing
195
and if you want to be a happier person These are the accounts in
196
which to put your attention and time time and energy effect
197
and affection every day your faith work on it seriously every single day your family life
198
your friendships and your work that serves in which you earn your success
199
now there's one big concern that animates arc
200
which is not just you leaving this beautiful place
201
and having this great experience and being happier yourself no no you're here because you want to change society,
202
and so do I.
203
Well, it turns out that when it comes to happiness,
204
we're almost literally in a world of hurt.
205
The happiness indices are going in the wrong direction in almost every OECD country.
206
In my country, the United States,
207
we've seen this secular decline in happiness going back to about 1990,
208
with big dips that have happened,
209
especially since the turn of the century.
210
Why?
211
People pay attention to the weather,
212
as it were, the weather of happiness,
213
the storms of happiness, the coronavirus epidemic,
214
the financial crisis, the onset of social media.
215
And those things are all bad, don't get me wrong.
216
But we tend to neglect the climate of happiness.
217
And that's a bigger problem
218
that little by little by little is driving down the well-being of people all over the world today.
219
And you know what it comes from?
220
The same thing that will ruin your happiness,
221
a lack of the big four.
222
Look around, what will you see for people under 35 today?
223
A decline in faith.
224
The year I was born in the United States,
225
1% had no religious affiliation.
226
Today is 34%.
227
Look around, people are saying they're lonelier than they've ever been.
228
They're walking away from marriage.
229
They're not having children.
230
They don't have a vocational sense of their work and they're turning against the free enterprise system.
231
Those are the stakes.
232
Look, if we want to be happier people,
233
and we want to live in a happier society,
234
those are the things to fight for.
235
Those are the things to stand up for.
236
Don't let anybody say that you're fighting for faith and family
237
and community and friendship and the free enterprise system because it's all about your politics,
238
or it's all about the tax rate.
239
No, no, no, no. This is what the world needs.
240
Pay attention to these things in your life.
241
If you pay attention to these things in your life,
242
here's what I promise you,
243
the same thing I promised my students,
244
the same things I practiced myself,
245
you will get happier for the rest of your life.
246
Furthermore, if you leave here and you work for these institutions,
247
more faith in our society,
248
a greater sense of family values,
249
with more marriage and more babies, because babies are awesome.
250
With closer friends, with more coherent communities,
251
with a capitalist system that brings everybody in from the margins for more opportunity,
252
and where we're dedicated to loving and serving each other,
253
that's how the world gets better.
254
That is not a political agenda.
255
That's an agenda for greater world happiness,
256
and we need to be part of it.
257
Join me.
258
Thank you.

この動画で話す練習をする理由
この動画は、ハーバード大学の教授アーサー・ブルックス氏が「幸せの科学」について探求しています。彼の視点を学ぶことで、私たちは英語でのスピーキング能力を向上させるだけでなく、幸福の本質についても理解を深めることができます。IELTS スピーキング対策としては、教授がどのように自らの意見を論理的に構築し、他者に向けて明確に伝えるかを学ぶことが重要です。また、このような高いレベルの英語を聞き、話すことで、英語スピーキング練習の質を高める助けとなります。
文法と表現の文脈
ブルックス教授のトークにはいくつかの重要な文法構造が含まれています。特に強調したいポイントは以下の通りです：
- 「あなたは全ての人です。ビジネスの創業者として、あなたの人生のCEOです。」 - ここでは、一般的な助動詞の強調と所有格を使用して自分の立場を強調しています。
- 「幸福は三つのマクロ栄養素の組み合わせです。」 - 具体化のために、名詞と形容詞を効果的に使用しています。
- 「意味は、あなたの人生が重要であるということです。」 - 条件文を使い、思考を深めます。
これらの表現をシャドーイングすることで、英語シャドーイングのスキルを向上させることができます。特に、彼の話し方を模倣することが、正確な発音やリズム感を身に付ける手助けとなります。
一般的な発音の罠
この動画では、いくつかの言葉やフレーズが特に発音しにくいものがあります：
- 「entrepreneurs」 - この単語の発音は、日本人学習者によくある誤りで、母音の音が難しいです。
- 「happiness」 - アクセントの位置に注意が必要です。
- 「meaning」 - この言葉の母音の強調も、発音のポイントです。
これらの単語を繰り返し練習することで、shadow speechの技術が向上します。ビデオを見ながら、言葉を追いかけることで、発音を改善できるでしょう。
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。
