This recording is from the British Council.

Good afternoon, everyone.
3
Welcome to the first lecture of our new course in Positive Psychology.
4
While some people may associate psychology with looking at what's wrong with us and at what problems we have,
5
there is much more to psychology than that.
6
Positive psychology, for example, looks at how to help people become happier.
7
This lecture begins with a question.
8
What makes a happy life?
9
Now, I'm going to give you one possible answer.
10
A happy life is a life in which you are completely absorbed in what you do.
11
Now, how does this compare with what you and your partner said?
12
This answer comes from the work of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and the theory of flow.
13
Csikszentmihalyi is a psychologist who has spent much of his professional life on the study of what makes people happy
14
and how we can find happiness.
15
Csikszentmihalyi suggests the theory that happiness is not caused by external events or things that happen to us.
16
perception of these things and how we see these events either makes us happy or sad.
17
In other words, if we want happiness, we have to actively look for it.
18
However, this does not mean that we should always look for happiness.
19
Csikszentmihalyi believed that our happiest moments happen when we are in a state of flow.
20
The theory of flow can be summarized like this.
21
When we are totally involved in or focused on what we are doing, we are in a state of flow.
22
Csikszentmihalyi got the inspiration for this theory when he noticed how artists worked in a studio.
23
They completely lost track of time.
24
They didn't notice they were hungry or tired, and they could work for hours, even days, without stopping.
25
Anyone I've spoken to who has experienced this state of concentration has said it's difficult to explain.
26
The best way to explain it is that it is like being in a river
27
and the flow of the water carries you away.
28
For the rest of this lecture, I will explore this theory of flow in more detail.
29
Well, first we will look at Csikszentmihalyi's life and how it influenced his ideas.
30
Then we will look at the conditions that go with the state of flow.
31
What creates flow exactly?
32
Finally, we will look at activities that can help us achieve flow in our everyday lives.
33
Will this course make you happy for life?
34
Well maybe.
35
Maybe.
36
Right, let's get started.

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
