35、for positive psychology to learn what truly makes people happy. And what s the difference between being happy and having meaning in life? Many psychologists define happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good in the moment. Meaning, though, is deeper. The renowned psychologist Martin Selig
36、man says meaning comes from belonging to and serving something beyond yourself and from developing the best within you. Our culture is obsessed (痴迷于 ) with happiness, but I came to see that seeking meaning is the more fulfilling path. There are four pillars(支柱) of a meaningful life. The first pillar
37、 is belonging. Belonging comes from being in relationships where youre valued for who you are intrins ically and where you value others as well. For many people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning. For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose. Finding your purpose is n
38、ot the same thing as finding that job that makes you happy. A hospital custodian told me her purpose is healing sick people. Many parents tell me, “My purpose is raising my children.” The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others. Without something worthwhile to do, people flounder. The
39、 third pillar of meaning is also about stepping beyond yourself, but in a completely different way: transcendence(超然) . Transcendent experiences can change you. Transcendent states are those rare moments when youre lifted above the hustle and bustle of daily life, your sense of self fades away, and
40、you feel connected to a higher reality. For me, Im a writer, and it happens through writing. Sometimes I get so in the zone that I lose all sense of time and place. The fourth pillar is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourself. Creating a narrative from the events of your life brings
41、 clarity. It helps you understand how you became you. But we dont always realize that were the authors of our stories and can change the way were telling them. Your life isnt ju st a list of events. You can edit, interpret and retell your story, even as youre constrained by the facts. 10 Thats the p
42、ower of meaning. Happiness comes and goes. But when life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to. 58.

45、significance C In 2015 a paper published in a science magazine reported on the personality types of people living in various London districts. Extroverts(外向的人 ), the researchers who wrote it had discovered, favored Richmond. Those who were most open to experience gathered in Hackney. People in Barne
46、t scored lower than average on emotional stability. What this study did not address was whether someones home range reflects their personality traits or imposes them. In other words, is what is going on “na ture” or “nurture” ( 培育 ) ? However, in a piece of research just published, Dr. Holtmann of Otago University, in New Zealand, and his colleagues have filled that gap at least, they have filled it for dunnocks.
