Does that mean that those around us are connected to our happiness and we are connected to theirs? Does this suggest a kind of sort of interdependence or a web of connection that's a prerequisite for happiness? Well, that's an interesting question because it's actually a more nuanced question because happiness is also contagious, right? So we're also affected by other people's happiness and other people's unhappiness. We tend to actually like happy people.
Sonja, olemme puhuneet sinulle maailmassa, jossa tuntuu, ettÀ maailmassa on rauhallista kaosia. Miten voimme rauhoittaa se, ettÀ meidÀn on tarpeeksi pysyÀ kohdallaan ja pysyÀ elÀmÀllÀ ja pysyÀ turvallisena ja pysyÀ yhteiskunnallisena turvallisuudessa, jotta voimme pysyÀ elÀmÀllÀ ja pysyÀ turvallisena ja pysyÀ yhteiskunnalla?
What about those listeners out there who are hearing this and say, I find happiness in solitude, you know, and I like going on a solo hike or going on a solo trip and that makes me feel content. If it is all about connection, what explains that sense of well-being we get from our alone time?
KyllÀ, siksi kuulemme ihmisiÀ sanoa, ettÀ olemme liittyneitÀ ja kuuluvaisia. Mutta se ei tarkoita, ettÀ se on yksilöllinen kuin muu. Se on todella luonnollista ja luonnollista, ettÀ haluamme yksilön aikaa joskus. Tietysti, se ei ole niin, ettÀ 100% pÀivÀÀ pÀivÀstÀ pitÀisi olla muiden kanssa, vaikka todella kiva tutkimus tuli uudestaan, joka nÀyttÀisi, ettÀ
TÀmÀ saa minut sosiaaliseen kysymykseen, koska muistan 15 vuotta sitten, kun Facebooki tuli ulos, ja suunnittelija ja CEO Mark Zuckerberg antoi, ettÀ me olemme kaikki tekemÀssÀ maailman enemmÀn liittyviÀ. Me haluamme todella tehdÀ maailman enemmÀn liittyviÀ, ja se kuulostaa hienosti, mutta kuten sanoit puheenvuorossa, nykyisessÀ elÀmÀssÀ tuntuu, ettÀ on enemmÀn pisteitÀ kuin koskaan, sekÀ fyysisesti ettÀ metaforisesti.
Miksi tÀmÀ? Miten sosiaalinen media on saanut vaikutuksen yhteiskuntaan ja saamme yhteistyötÀ muihin ihmisiin tai elÀimiin?
Laitan kysyÀ erilaisen nÀkökulman siitÀ, mitÀ se on, tai mitÀ me tiedÀmme siitÀ, ettÀ muiden ihmisten nÀkeminen, kuten sosiaalisen mediasta, tai ihmisiÀ, joiden meillÀ on parasosiaalisia yhteistyötÀ, esim. ilmastonmuutokset, tekevÀt heidÀn onnellisuutensa tai tekevÀt heidÀn elÀmÀstÀÀn. Muistan aiemmin tÀmÀn tutkimuksen aikana
Jotkut, jotka voivat olla parempia verrattuna, ovat vaikeita nÀhdÀ muiden ihmisiÀ hyvÀllÀ aikavÀlillÀ, koska niiden verrattuna, kuten he sanovat, se on tyhjyÀ iloista. MitÀ tiedÀt yksityiskohtaisesta dataa tai tutkimusta, joka nyt on olemassa, siitÀ, millaista se on meille tai millaista se vaikuttaa meille nÀhdÀ toisten ihmisten ongelmia?
No matter what is happening in these individual interactions that folks are having, your prescription, your antidote for feelings of despair or anxiety or depression is to try and reconnect in real life with other people. You said something in your talk which really struck me. You said, sharing and listening, hold hands. If you only share, it's a monologue. If you only listen, it's an interview. But when you do both, that's when the magic happens.
I know it would take years to learn, but what can you offer those of us who want to learn or are hungry to learn what sharing from the heart sounds like or how to avoid some pitfalls when we're trying to open up or get other people to open up?
Sonja, kysymyksiin ja kuuntelemiin, jatketaan lyhyellÀ rauhallisuudella, jotta saamme tietoa vÀhÀn enemmÀn, ennen kuin lopetamme tÀtÀ keskustelua. Okei, mennÀÀn. MitÀ innovaatio tai hyvÀ idea nÀyttÀÀ sinulle? Oho, jotain, jota ei ole koskaan ajatellut, jotain, joka on yllÀttÀvÀÀ. Luulen, ettÀ useimmat ideat ovat kuten olen kuullut aiemmin ja aiemmin.
Yeah, I really like that. What's a small gratitude that you have in your life right now? Something that you are particularly grateful for? It could be something very small. I'm so grateful, yeah, that I can cuddle with my kids and the love. Love, really, I'm grateful for love because I think love can kind of save the world. I know that's such a cliche, but it's true. Love is the answer. I like that. Sonja Lubomirski, thank you so much for sitting down with us and for your talk. Thank you. It's been a pleasure to talk.

Have you ever noticed feeling calmer when you hear a bird song outside your window or while you're walking down the street?
Birds often sing only when they feel safe.
And as it turns out, our connection to this sound and to acknowledging safety may very well come from our ancient evolutionary wiring.
