Happiness expert Sonja Lyubomirsky’s research-based lessons in how to find opportunity in life’s thorniest moments

In The Myths of Happiness, Sonja Lyubomirsky isolates the major turning points of adult life, looking to both achievements (marriage, children, professional satisfaction, wealth) and failures (singlehood, divorce, financial ruin, illness) to reveal that our misconceptions about the impact of such events is perhaps the greatest threat to our long-term well-being.

Lyubomirsky argues that we have been given false promises—myths that assure us that lifelong happiness will be attained once we hit the culturally confirmed markers of adult success. This restricted view of happiness works to discourage us from recognizing the upside of any negative life turn and blocks us from recognizing our own growth potential. Our outsized expectations transform natural rites of passage into emotional land mines and steer us to make toxic decisions, as The Myths of Happiness reveals.

Because we expect the best (or the worst) from life’s turning points, we shortsightedly place too much weight on our initial emotional responses. The Myths of Happiness empowers readers to look beyond their first response, sharing scientific evidence that often it is our mindset—not our circumstances—that matters. Central to these findings is the notion of hedonic adaptation, the fact that people are far more adaptable than they think. Even after a major life change—good or bad—we tend to return to our initial happiness level, forgetting what once made us elated or why we felt that life was so unbearable. The Myths of Happiness offers the perspective we need to make wiser choices, sharing how to slow the effects of this adaptation after a positive turn and find the way forward in a time of darkness.

In The Myths of Happiness, Sonja Lyubomirsky turns an empirical eye to the biggest, messiest moments, providing readers with the clear-eyed vision they need to build the healthiest, most satisfying life. A corrective course on happiness and a call to regard life’s twists and turns with a more open mind, The Myths of Happiness shares practical lessons with life-changing potential.

批評家のレビュー

"In this thought-provoking volume, Lyubomirsky... examines happiness and conventional notions about how it's nurtured in relationships, at work, and in one's own psyche...Lyubomirsky demonstrates that positively reframing life events can mine the best out of even the darkest situations. Provocative and fresh."
Publishers Weekly

"Informative and engaging….The author examines how the 'shoulds' of happiness not only undermine well-being, but also make it hard for individuals to cope with the sometimes difficult realities of adulthood."
Kirkus Reviews

"No matter what your personal world is like, The Myths of Happiness will change the way you approach your daily life. Lyubomirsky's thorough research and practical solutions will not only add joy and contentment to your life, but will also allow you to take on issues that you may have been sweeping under the rug for too long."
Woodbury Magazine

"In her new book, The Myths of Happiness, Dr. Lyubomirsky describes a slew of research-tested actions and words that can do wonders to keep love alive."
—Jane Brody, New York Times

「『願い』は一時的な脳の思いつきにすぎず、暮らしの指針にはならない。目指すのは『明日を良くする行動』」という意味での題が

「『幸福』の嘘」

か。己の来し方をつい反芻。若くて悩んでいたあの頃、わけもわからず猛烈に働かされた。加えて、帰宅すれば娯楽好きの夫がどっかりと🛋️ソファに座り動かない。当然かつ、だからこそ、のワンオペ家事&ワンオペ育児😭当方母もひとりぼっちで奮闘する悲しい気持ちで生きていた。そんな惨めな普通の国内🇯🇵5000万人の母親の一人になり下がる前に、しっかりと読んでおきたかった一冊。

いくら日本の学校制度が、男子の教育のため「のみ」を目的に、男性のみの議会決定で明治時代に始動した、とはいえ、
女性の心理や生活変動への備えを、純粋な学びができる学生時代に、第三者の成人先人が示す必要はある。例えばこの本を紹介し「夢見心地で歳とるわけにゃ行かねえんだよ」と。

己にとっては人生後半にもなって遅きに失した学びだった。著者は優秀な学者であり、おそらく有能な母親、そしてなんらかの憧れを抱き続ける中高年。だが、
📕サンドバーグ「リーン・イン」
📕佐藤亮子「3男1女 東大理III合格百発百中 絶対やるべき勉強法」
など同様に、優秀な遺伝子が己とは違いすぎて、とても真似できない。
さらに著者の出身はロシア、幸福度は最低、離婚率は世界一。現実逃避の著述活動か?てか、結婚して幸せになる女って世界で僅少すぎる存在なのではないか?と最終的にはため息しきり。

音声本やオーディブルだと高速ですっきり頭🧠に浸透する、英語での🦻視聴はこれで📚70冊目くらいかな。著者にも声優にも感謝、だ。

幸福のウソ❓そーなんだ👀⁉️
