When I was seven years old and my sister was just five years old,

3000
Kada sam imao sedam godina a moja sestra samo pet,
00:18
we were playing on top of a bunk bed.
1
3000
3000
igrali smo se na gornjem dijelu kreveta na kat.
00:21
I was two years older than my sister at the time --
2
6000
2000
Tada sam bio dvije godine stariji od nje –
00:23
I mean, I'm two years older than her now --
3
8000
3000
mislim, još uvijek sam dvije godine stariji,
00:26
but at the time it meant she had to do everything that I wanted to do,
4
11000
3000
ali u to vrijeme to je značilo da je ona morala raditi štogod sam ja htio,
00:29
and I wanted to play war.
5
14000
2000
a ja sam se htio igrati rata.
00:31
So we were up on top of our bunk beds.
6
16000
2000
I tako smo nas dvoje bili na krevetu.
00:33
And on one side of the bunk bed,
7
18000
2000
Na jednoj sam strani
00:35
I had put out all of my G.I. Joe soldiers and weaponry.
8
20000
2000
stavio sve svoje G.I. Joe vojnike i oružje.
00:37
And on the other side were all my sister's My Little Ponies
9
22000
3000
Na drugoj strani su svi sestrini mali poniji
00:40
ready for a cavalry charge.
10
25000
2000
spremno čekali napad konjaništva.
00:42
There are differing accounts of what actually happened that afternoon,
11
27000
2000
Postoje različite teorije o tome što se točno dogodilo tog poslijepodneva,
00:44
but since my sister is not here with us today,
12
29000
3000
ali kako moja sestra nije s nama danas,
00:47
let me tell you the true story --
13
32000
2000
ispričat ću vam istinitu verziju priče –
00:49
(Laughter) --
14
34000
2000
(smijeh)
00:51
which is my sister's a little bit on the clumsy side.
15
36000
2000
a to je da je moja sestra pomalo nespretna.
00:53
Somehow, without any help or push from her older brother at all,
16
38000
3000
Nekako, bez ikakve pomoći ili guranja od strane njezinog starijeg brata,
00:56
suddenly Amy disappeared off of the top of the bunk bed
17
41000
2000
Amy je odjednom nestala s kreveta
00:58
and landed with this crash on the floor.
18
43000
2000
i pala s treskom na pod.
01:00
Now I nervously peered over the side of the bed
19
45000
2000
Ja sam nervozno provirio preko strane kreveta
01:02
to see what had befallen my fallen sister
20
47000
3000
kako bih vidio što se dogodilo mojoj sestri
01:05
and saw that she had landed painfully on her hands and knees
21
50000
2000
i uvidio da je bolno pala na ruke i koljena,
01:07
on all fours on the ground.
22
52000
2000
na sve četiri na pod.
01:09
I was nervous because my parents had charged me
23
54000
2000
Bio sam uplašen jer su me roditelji zadužili
01:11
with making sure that my sister and I
24
56000
2000
da pazim da se sestra i ja
01:13
played as safely and as quietly as possible.
25
58000
3000
igramo što je moguće sigurnije i tiše.
01:16
And seeing as how I had accidentally broken Amy's arm
26
61000
3000
A s obzirom da sam samo tjedan ranije
01:19
just one week before ...
27
64000
2000
slučajno slomio Amynu ruku
01:21
(Laughter)
28
66000
4000
(smijeh)
01:25
... heroically pushing her out of the way
29
70000
2000
herojski je gurnuvši s putanje
01:27
of an oncoming imaginary sniper bullet,
30
72000
3000
zamišljenog nadolazećeg snajperskog metka,
01:30
(Laughter)
31
75000
2000
(smijeh)
01:32
for which I have yet to be thanked,
32
77000
2000
za što mi još uvijek nije zahvaljeno,
01:34
I was trying as hard as I could --
33
79000
2000
pokušavao sam najviše što sam mogao,
01:36
she didn't even see it coming --
34
81000
2000
ona ga nije vidjela kako prilazi,
01:38
I was trying as hard as I could to be on my best behavior.
35
83000
2000
pokušavao sam se ponašati najbolje što sam mogao.
01:40
And I saw my sister's face,
36
85000
2000
A kada sam vidio sestrino lice,
01:42
this wail of pain and suffering and surprise
37
87000
2000
taj jauk boli i patnje i iznenađenja
01:44
threatening to erupt from her mouth and threatening to wake
38
89000
2000
kako prijeti da će eruptirati iz njezinih usta, prijeteći da će probuditi
01:46
my parents from the long winter's nap for which they had settled.
39
91000
3000
moje roditelje iz njihovog dugog zimskog drijemeža.
01:49
So I did the only thing
40
94000
2000
Učinio sam jedino
01:51
my little frantic seven year-old brain could think to do to avert this tragedy.
41
96000
3000
što je moj mali uspaničeni sedmogodišnji mozak mogao učiniti da spriječi tragediju.
01:54
And if you have children, you've seen this hundreds of times before.
42
99000
2000
Ako imate djecu, ovo ste vidjeli stotinama puta ranije.
01:56
I said, "Amy, Amy, wait. Don't cry. Don't cry.
43
101000
2000
Rekao sam: „ Amy, Amy, čekaj. Nemoj plakati. Nemoj plakati.
01:58
Did you see how you landed?
44
103000
2000
Jesi li vidjela kako si sletjela?
02:00
No human lands on all fours like that.
45
105000
3000
Nijedan čovjek ne pada na sve četiri ovako.
02:03
Amy, I think this means you're a unicorn."
46
108000
3000
Amy, mislim da ovo znači da si ti zapravo jednorog."
02:06
(Laughter)
47
111000
3000
(smijeh)
02:09
Now that was cheating, because there was nothing in the world my sister would want more
48
114000
3000
Naravno da je to bilo varanje, jer nema ničega na svijetu što bi moja sestra radije bila
02:12
than not to be Amy the hurt five year-old little sister,
49
117000
2000
da ne bude petogodišnja povrijeđena sestrica Amy
02:14
but Amy the special unicorn.
50
119000
2000
nego Amy posebni jednorog.
02:16
Of course, this was an option that was open to her brain at no point in the past.
51
121000
3000
Dakako, ova opcija nikada prije nije bila ponuđena njenom mozgu.
02:19
And you could see how my poor, manipulated sister faced conflict,
52
124000
3000
I moglo se vidjeti kako se moja jadna, izmanipulirana sestra suočava s konfliktom,
02:22
as her little brain attempted to devote resources
53
127000
2000
dok se njezin mozak odlučivao hoće li posvetiti svoju pažnju
02:24
to feeling the pain and suffering and surprise
54
129000
2000
osjećaju boli i iznenađenja
02:26
she just experienced,
55
131000
2000
što ga je upravo pretrpio,
02:28
or contemplating her new-found identity as a unicorn.
56
133000
2000
ili razmišljati o svom novopronađenom identitetu jednoroga.
02:30
And the latter won out.
57
135000
2000
Ovo drugo je pobijedilo.
02:32
Instead of crying, instead of ceasing our play,
58
137000
2000
Umjesto da počne plakati i prekine našu igru,
02:34
instead of waking my parents,
59
139000
2000
i probudi naše roditelje
02:36
with all the negative consequences that would have ensued for me,
60
141000
2000
sa svim negativnim posljedicama koje bi proizašle za mene u tom slučaju,
02:38
instead a smile spread across her face
61
143000
2000
osmijeh se je proširio njezinim licem
02:40
and she scrambled right back up onto the bunk bed with all the grace of a baby unicorn ...
62
145000
3000
i ona se je popela natrag na krevet sa svom gracioznošću bebe jednoroga
02:43
(Laughter)
63
148000
2000
(smijeh)
02:45
... with one broken leg.
64
150000
2000
s jednom slomljenom nogom.
02:47
What we stumbled across
65
152000
2000
Ono na što smo nabasali
02:49
at this tender age of just five and seven --
66
154000
2000
već u toj nježnoj dobi od pet i sedam godina,
02:51
we had no idea at the time --
67
156000
2000
tada naravno nismo imali pojma,
02:53
was something that was going be at the vanguard of a scientific revolution
68
158000
3000
bilo je nešto što će biti prethodnica znanstvene revolucije
02:56
occurring two decades later in the way that we look at the human brain.
69
161000
3000
proučavanja mozga koja će se dogoditi dva desetljeća poslije.
02:59
What we had stumbled across is something called positive psychology,
70
164000
3000
To na što smo nabasali zove se pozitivna psihologija,
03:02
which is the reason that I'm here today
71
167000
2000
i razlog je zašto sam ovdje danas,
03:04
and the reason that I wake up every morning.
72
169000
2000
i zašto ustajem svako jutro.
03:06
When I first started talking about this research
73
171000
2000
Kada sam prvi put počeo govoriti o ovome
03:08
outside of academia, out with companies and schools,
74
173000
2000
izvan akademskih krugova, vani u tvrtkama i školama,
03:10
the very first thing they said to never do
75
175000
2000
prva stvar koju su mi rekli da nikada ne činim
03:12
is to start your talk with a graph.
76
177000
2000
jest početi govor s grafikonom.
03:14
The very first thing I want to do is start my talk with a graph.
77
179000
2000
Prva stvar s kojom želim započeti ovaj govor je grafikon.
03:16
This graph looks boring,
78
181000
2000
Ovaj grafikon izgleda dosadno,
03:18
but this graph is the reason I get excited and wake up every morning.
79
183000
2000
ali on je razlog zašto sam uzbuđen i zašto se budim svako jutro.
03:20
And this graph doesn't even mean anything; it's fake data.
80
185000
2000
A ovaj grafikon čak ni ne znači nešto, ovo su lažni podaci.
03:22
What we found is --
81
187000
2000
Ono što smo pronašli jest --
03:24
(Laughter)
82
189000
4000
(smijeh)
03:28
If I got this data back studying you here in the room, I would be thrilled,
83
193000
3000
kad bih dobio ovakve podatke nakon studije u ovoj dvorani, bio bih ushićen,
03:31
because there's very clearly a trend that's going on there,
84
196000
2000
zato što je ovdje vrlo očito prisutan jedan trend,
03:33
and that means that I can get published,
85
198000
2000
a to znači da bih bio objavljen,
03:35
which is all that really matters.
86
200000
2000
a to je jedino što je doista važno.
03:37
The fact that there's one weird red dot that's up above the curve,
87
202000
2000
Činjenica da postoji jedna čudna crvena točka koja se nalazi iznad krivulje,
03:39
there's one weirdo in the room --
88
204000
2000
ima tu jedan čudak u prostoriji --
03:41
I know who you are, I saw you earlier --
89
206000
3000
znam tko ste, vidio sam vas ranije --
03:44
that's no problem.
90
209000
2000
to nije problem.
03:46
That's no problem, as most of you know,
91
211000
2000
To ne predstavlja problem zato što, kao što većina vas zna,
03:48
because I can just delete that dot.
92
213000
2000
jednostavno mogu obrisati tu točku.
03:50
I can delete that dot because that's clearly a measurement error.
93
215000
2000
Mogu obrisati tu točku zato što je to očito greška u mjerenju.
03:52
And we know that's a measurement error
94
217000
2000
A svi znamo da je to greška u mjerenju
03:54
because it's messing up my data.
95
219000
3000
zato što mi kvari statistiku.
03:57
So one of the very first things we teach people
96
222000
2000
Dakle, jedna od prvih stvari koje učimo ljude
03:59
in economics and statistics and business and psychology courses
97
224000
3000
na ekonomskim, statističkim, poslovnim i psihološkim tečajevima
04:02
is how, in a statistically valid way, do we eliminate the weirdos.
98
227000
3000
jest kako na statistički ispravan način uklanjamo čudake.
04:05
How do we eliminate the outliers
99
230000
2000
Kako uklanjamo one izvana
04:07
so we can find the line of best fit?
100
232000
2000
kako bismo pronašli liniju koja najbolje odgovara.
04:09
Which is fantastic if I'm trying to find out
101
234000
2000
Što je odlično ako pokušavam doznati
04:11
how many Advil the average person should be taking -- two.
102
236000
3000
koliko bi Advila prosječna osoba trebala uzimati - dva.
04:14
But if I'm interested in potential, if I'm interested in your potential,
103
239000
2000
Ali ako sam zainteresiran za potencijal, ako sam zainteresiran za vaš potencijal,
04:16
or for happiness or productivity
104
241000
2000
ili za sreću, ili produktivnost,
04:18
or energy or creativity,
105
243000
2000
ili energiju, ili kreativnost,
04:20
what we're doing is we're creating the cult of the average with science.
106
245000
2000
ono što činimo jest stvaranje kulta prosječnosti pomoću znanosti.
04:22
If I asked a question like,
107
247000
2000
Ako vam postavim pitanje:
04:24
"How fast can a child learn how to read in a classroom?"
108
249000
2000
„Koliko brzo dijete može naučiti čitati u učionici?“,
04:26
scientists change the answer to "How fast does the average child
109
251000
2000
znanstvenici promjene odgovor u koliko brzo prosječno dijete
04:28
learn how to read in that classroom?"
110
253000
2000
nauči čitati u toj učionici.
04:30
and then we tailor the class right towards the average.
111
255000
2000
I tada skrojimo čitav razred prema toj prosječnosti.
04:32
Now if you fall below the average on this curve,
112
257000
2000
Ako se nalazite ispod prosjeka na ovoj krivulji
04:34
then psychologists get thrilled,
113
259000
2000
tada se psiholozi uzbuđuju,
04:36
because that means you're either depressed or you have a disorder,
114
261000
3000
jer to znači da ste ili u depresiji ili imate poremećaj,
04:39
or hopefully both.
115
264000
2000
ili nadajmo se čak oboje.
04:41
We're hoping for both because our business model is,
116
266000
2000
Nadamo se oboje jer naš poslovni model jest da
04:43
if you come into a therapy session with one problem,
117
268000
2000
ako dođete na terapiju s jednim problemom,
04:45
we want to make sure you leave knowing you have 10,
118
270000
2000
potruditi se da odete znajući da ih imate deset,
04:47
so you keep coming back over and over again.
119
272000
2000
tako da se uvijek vraćate iznova i iznova.
04:49
We'll go back into your childhood if necessary,
120
274000
2000
Vratit ćemo se natrag u djetinjstvo ako je potrebno,
04:51
but eventually what we want to do is make you normal again.
121
276000
2000
ali s vremenom ono što želimo jest da postanete normalni ponovno.
04:53
But normal is merely average.
122
278000
2000
Ali normalno je tek prosječno.
04:55
And what I posit and what positive psychology posits
123
280000
2000
A ono što ja pretpostavljam i ono što pozitivna psihologija pretpostavlja
04:57
is that if we study what is merely average,
124
282000
2000
jest da ako proučavamo ono što je tek prosječno,
04:59
we will remain merely average.
125
284000
2000
ostat ćemo tek prosječni.
05:01
Then instead of deleting those positive outliers,
126
286000
2000
Tako da umjesto da obrišemo te pozitivne primjerke izvan krivulje,
05:03
what I intentionally do is come into a population like this one
127
288000
2000
ono što namjerno radim jest doći među populaciju poput ove
05:05
and say, why?
128
290000
2000
i pitati zašto.
05:07
Why is it that some of you are so high above the curve
129
292000
2000
Zašto su neki od vas toliko iznad krivulje
05:09
in terms of your intellectual ability, athletic ability, musical ability,
130
294000
2000
po pitanju svojih intelektualnih sposobnosti, atletskih sposobnosti, glazbenih sposobnosti,
05:11
creativity, energy levels,
131
296000
2000
kreativnosti, razine energije,
05:13
your resiliency in the face of challenge, your sense of humor?
132
298000
2000
otpornosti u suočavanju s izazovima, smisla za humor?
05:15
Whatever it is, instead of deleting you, what I want to do is study you.
133
300000
3000
Štogod bio razlog, umjesto da vas obrišem, ono što ja želim jest proučavati vas.
05:18
Because maybe we can glean information --
134
303000
2000
Zato što možda možemo sakupiti informacije
05:20
not just how to move people up to the average,
135
305000
2000
ne samo kako pogurnuti ljude prema prosječnosti,
05:22
but how we can move the entire average up
136
307000
3000
nego kako možemo pomaknuti čitavu prosječnost prema boljem
05:25
in our companies and schools worldwide.
137
310000
2000
u našim tvrtkama i školama širom svijeta.
05:27
The reason this graph is important to me
138
312000
2000
Razlog zašto mi je ovaj grafikon važan
05:29
is, when I turn on the news, it seems like the majority of the information
139
314000
2000
jest zato što kada pogledam vijesti, čini se kao da većina informacije
05:31
is not positive, in fact it's negative.
140
316000
2000
nije pozitivna, ustvari je negativna.
05:33
Most of it's about murder, corruption, diseases, natural disasters.
141
318000
3000
Većina toga je o ubojstvima, korupciji, bolestima, prirodnim katastrofama.
05:36
And very quickly, my brain starts to think
142
321000
2000
I ubrzo moj mozak počinje misliti
05:38
that's the accurate ratio of negative to positive in the world.
143
323000
2000
kako je to točan omjer negativnog i pozitivnog u svijetu.
05:40
What that's doing is creating something
144
325000
2000
To stvara nešto što se
05:42
called the medical school syndrome --
145
327000
2000
naziva sindrom studenata medicinske škole,
05:44
which, if you know people who've been to medical school,
146
329000
2000
možda poznajete ljude koji su studirali medicinu,
05:46
during the first year of medical training,
147
331000
2000
javlja se tijekom prve godine studija medicine:
05:48
as you read through a list of all the symptoms and diseases that could happen,
148
333000
2000
čitaju li studenti popis svih simptoma i svih bolesti koje se mogu dogoditi,
05:50
suddenly you realize you have all of them.
149
335000
2000
odjednom shvate da ih sve imaju.
05:52
I have a brother in-law named Bobo -- which is a whole other story.
150
337000
3000
Imam šogora imenom Bobo – što je jedna posve druga priča.
05:55
Bobo married Amy the unicorn.
151
340000
3000
Bobo je oženio jednoroga Amy.
05:58
Bobo called me on the phone
152
343000
3000
Bobo me nazvao telefonom
06:01
from Yale Medical School,
153
346000
3000
s Yalea gdje studira medicinu
06:04
and Bobo said, "Shawn, I have leprosy."
154
349000
2000
i rekao: „Shawn, ja imam gubu."
06:06
(Laughter)
155
351000
2000
(smijeh)
06:08
Which, even at Yale, is extraordinarily rare.
156
353000
2000
Što je, čak i na Yaleu, vrlo rijetka bolest.
06:10
But I had no idea how to console poor Bobo
157
355000
3000
Ali nisam imao pojma kako utješiti jadnog Boba
06:13
because he had just gotten over an entire week of menopause.
158
358000
2000
jer je tek prebolio cijeli tjedan menopauze.
06:15
(Laughter)
159
360000
2000
(smijeh)
06:17
See what we're finding is it's not necessarily the reality that shapes us,
160
362000
3000
Ono što ovdje doznajemo jest da nije nužno realnost ta koja nas oblikuje,
06:20
but the lens through which your brain views the world that shapes your reality.
161
365000
3000
već leće kroz koje naš mozak sagledava svijet koji oblikuje našu stvarnost.
06:23
And if we can change the lens, not only can we change your happiness,
162
368000
3000
I ako možemo promijeniti leće, ne samo da možemo promijeniti našu sreću,
06:26
we can change every single educational and business outcome at the same time.
163
371000
3000
možemo promijeniti svaki pojedini obrazovni i poslovni ishod u isto vrijeme.
06:29
When I applied to Harvard, I applied on a dare.
164
374000
2000
Kada sam se prijavio na Harvard, prijavio sam se zbog izazova.
06:31
I didn't expect to get in, and my family had no money for college.
165
376000
3000
Nisam očekivao da će me primiti i moja obitelj nije imala novca za fakultet.
06:34
When I got a military scholarship two weeks later, they allowed me to go.
166
379000
2000
Kada sam dobio vojnu stipendiju dva tjedna poslije, dopustili su mi ići.
06:36
Suddenly, something that wasn't even a possibility became a reality.
167
381000
3000
Odjednom je nešto što do tada nije bilo ni mogućnost postalo stvarnost.
06:39
When I went there, I assumed everyone else would see it as a privilege as well,
168
384000
3000
Kada sam otišao tamo, pretpostavio sam da će i svi ostali vidjeti to kao privilegiju,
06:42
that they'd be excited to be there.
169
387000
2000
da će biti uzbuđeni što su tamo.
06:44
Even if you're in a classroom full of people smarter than you,
170
389000
2000
Čak i ako samo sjedite u učionici punoj ljudi pametnijih od vas,
06:46
you'd be happy just to be in that classroom, which is what I felt.
171
391000
2000
sretni ste samo zbog toga što ste tamo, to sam ja osjećao.
06:48
But what I found there
172
393000
2000
Ali ono što sam doznao ondje jest,
06:50
is, while some people experience that,
173
395000
2000
dok neki ljudi to osjete,
06:52
when I graduated after my four years
174
397000
2000
nakon što sam diplomirao nakon četiri godine
06:54
and then spent the next eight years living in the dorms with the students --
175
399000
2000
i zatim proveo idućih osam godina živeći u domovima sa studentima –
06:56
Harvard asked me to; I wasn't that guy.
176
401000
3000
Harvard je to tražio od mene, nisam ja bio taj.
06:59
(Laughter)
177
404000
4000
(smijeh)
07:03
I was an officer of Harvard to counsel students through the difficult four years.
178
408000
3000
Bio sam činovnik Harvarda koji je savjetovao studente kroz četiri teške godine.
07:06
And what I found in my research and my teaching
179
411000
2000
I ono što sam pronašao kroz svoje istraživanje i predavanja
07:08
is that these students, no matter how happy they were
180
413000
2000
jest da ti studenti, bez obzira kako sretni
07:10
with their original success of getting into the school,
181
415000
3000
na početku što su dospjeli tamo,
07:13
two weeks later their brains were focused, not on the privilege of being there,
182
418000
3000
dva tjedna poslije nisu bili usredotočeni na privilegiju što su tamo,
07:16
nor on their philosophy or their physics.
183
421000
2000
niti na njihovu filozofiju ili fiziku.
07:18
Their brain was focused on the competition, the workload,
184
423000
2000
Njihovi mozgovi bavili su se natjecanjem, obavezama,
07:20
the hassles, the stresses, the complaints.
185
425000
2000
gnjavažama, stresom, prigovorima.
07:22
When I first went in there, I walked into the freshmen dining hall,
186
427000
2000
Kada sam prvi puta došao tamo, ušao sam u blagovaonicu brucoša,
07:24
which is where my friends from Waco, Texas, which is where I grew up --
187
429000
3000
gdje su odrastali moji prijatelji iz Wacoa, Texas, mjesta gdje sam i ja odrastao –
07:27
I know some of you have heard of it.
188
432000
2000
znam da su neki od vas čuli za njega.
07:29
When they'd come to visit me, they'd look around,
189
434000
2000
Kada bi me dolazili posjetiti, pogledali bi uokolo
07:31
they'd say, "This freshman dining hall looks like something
190
436000
2000
i rekli: „ Ova blagovaonica izgleda kao nešto
07:33
out of Hogwart's from the movie "Harry Potter," which it does.
191
438000
2000
što se nalazi u Hogwartsu u filmu Harry Potter, što je i istina.
07:35
This is Hogwart's from the movie "Harry Potter" and that's Harvard.
192
440000
2000
Ovo je Hogwarts iz filma Harry Potter a ovo je Harvard.
07:37
And when they see this,
193
442000
2000
I kada vide to,
07:39
they say, "Shawn, why do you waste your time studying happiness at Harvard?
194
444000
2000
oni kažu: „Shawn, zašto tratiš svoje vrijeme proučavajući sreću na Harvardu?
07:41
Seriously, what does a Harvard student possibly have
195
446000
2000
Ozbiljno, zbog čega bi student s Harvarda
07:43
to be unhappy about?"
196
448000
2000
uopće bio nesretan?“
07:45
Embedded within that question
197
450000
2000
Sadržan u ovom pitanju
07:47
is the key to understanding the science of happiness.
198
452000
2000
jest ključ razumijevanja znanosti sreće.
07:49
Because what that question assumes
199
454000
2000
To pitanje pretpostavlja
07:51
is that our external world is predictive of our happiness levels,
200
456000
3000
da naš vanjski svijet utječe na razinu naše sreće,
07:54
when in reality, if I know everything about your external world,
201
459000
2000
ali u stvari, kada bih znao sve o vašem vanjskom svijetu,
07:56
I can only predict 10 percent of your long-term happiness.
202
461000
3000
mogao bih predvidjeti tek 10 posto vaše dugoročne sreće,
07:59
90 percent of your long-term happiness
203
464000
2000
90 posto vaše dugoročne sreće
08:01
is predicted not by the external world,
204
466000
2000
nije predviđeno vašim vanjskim svijetom,
08:03
but by the way your brain processes the world.
205
468000
2000
nego načinom na koji vaš mozak procesira svijet.
08:05
And if we change it,
206
470000
2000
I ako to možemo promijeniti,
08:07
if we change our formula for happiness and success,
207
472000
2000
ako možemo promijeniti formulu za sreću i uspjeh,
08:09
what we can do is change the way
208
474000
2000
možemo promijeniti način
08:11
that we can then affect reality.
209
476000
2000
na koji zatim utječemo na stvarnost.
08:13
What we found is that only 25 percent of job successes
210
478000
2000
Ono što smo doznali jest da je samo 25 posto uspjeha u poslu
08:15
are predicted by I.Q.
211
480000
2000
predviđeno našom razinom inteligencije,
08:17
75 percent of job successes
212
482000
2000
75 posto je
08:19
are predicted by your optimism levels, your social support
213
484000
3000
predviđeno našim razinama optimizma, potporom u društvu
08:22
and your ability to see stress as a challenge instead of as a threat.
214
487000
3000
i sposobnošću da vidite stres kao izazov umjesto prijetnje.
08:25
I talked to a boarding school up in New England, probably the most prestigious boarding school,
215
490000
3000
Razgovarao sam s privatnom školom u Novoj Engleskoj, vjerojatno najprestižnijem internatu,
08:28
and they said, "We already know that.
216
493000
2000
i rekli su mi: „Mi to već znamo.
08:30
So every year, instead of just teaching our students, we also have a wellness week.
217
495000
3000
Zato svake godine umjesto da učimo svoje studente, imamo i tjedan dobrobiti.
08:33
And we're so excited. Monday night we have the world's leading expert
218
498000
3000
I tako smo uzbuđeni. Ponedjeljkom navečer dovodimo vodeće svjetske stručnjake
08:36
coming in to speak about adolescent depression.
219
501000
2000
kako bi nam govorili o adolescentskoj depresiji.
08:38
Tuesday night it's school violence and bullying.
220
503000
2000
Utorkom navečer o nasilju u školi i zlostavljanju.
08:40
Wednesday night is eating disorders.
221
505000
2000
Srijedom navečer o poremećajima u prehrani.
08:42
Thursday night is elicit drug use.
222
507000
2000
Četvrtkom navečer o upotrebi droga.
08:44
And Friday night we're trying to decide between risky sex or happiness."
223
509000
3000
A petkom navečer pokušavamo odlučiti između rizičnog seksa i sreće."
08:47
(Laughter)
224
512000
3000
(smijeh)
08:50
I said, "That's most people's Friday nights."
225
515000
2000
Rekao sam: "To većina ljudi radi petkom navečer.“
08:52
(Laughter)
226
517000
3000
(smijeh)
08:55
(Applause)
227
520000
3000
(pljesak)
08:58
Which I'm glad you liked, but they did not like that at all.
228
523000
2000
Drago mi je da vam se to svidjelo, ali njima nikako nije.
09:00
Silence on the phone.
229
525000
2000
Tišina na telefonu.
09:02
And into the silence, I said, "I'd be happy to speak at your school,
230
527000
2000
I u toj tišini sam rekao:
09:04
but just so you know, that's not a wellness week, that's a sickness week.
231
529000
3000
„Rado ću govoriti u vašoj školi, ali samo da znate, to nije tjedan dobrobiti, nego tjedan bolesti.
09:07
What you've done is you've outlined all the negative things that can happen,
232
532000
2000
Ono što ste učinili jest da ste naglasili sve negativne stvari koje se mogu dogoditi,
09:09
but not talked about the positive."
233
534000
2000
ali niste razgovarali o pozitivnima."
09:11
The absence of disease is not health.
234
536000
2000
Izostanak bolesti ne predstavlja zdravlje.
09:13
Here's how we get to health:
235
538000
2000
Evo kako dolazimo do zdravlja:
09:15
We need to reverse the formula for happiness and success.
236
540000
3000
moramo obrnuti formulu za sreću i uspjeh.
09:18
In the last three years, I've traveled to 45 different countries,
237
543000
2000
U zadnje tri godine proputovao sam 45 zemalja,
09:20
working with schools and companies
238
545000
2000
radeći sa školama i tvrtkama
09:22
in the midst of an economic downturn.
239
547000
2000
usred ekonomske krize.
09:24
And what I found is that most companies and schools
240
549000
2000
I ono što sam doznao jest da većina tvrtki i škola
09:26
follow a formula for success, which is this:
241
551000
2000
slijedi ovu formulu za sreću:
09:28
If I work harder, I'll be more successful.
242
553000
2000
što napornije radim, to ću biti uspješniji.
09:30
And if I'm more successful, then I'll be happier.
243
555000
3000
Što sam uspješniji, to ću biti sretniji.
09:33
That undergirds most of our parenting styles, our managing styles,
244
558000
2000
To podržava većina naših roditeljskih odgojnih stilova, stilova upravljanja,
09:35
the way that we motivate our behavior.
245
560000
2000
način na koji motiviramo naše ponašanje.
09:37
And the problem is it's scientifically broken and backwards for two reasons.
246
562000
3000
A problem je u tome što je to znanstveno pogrešno i obrnuto i to iz dva razloga.
09:40
First, every time your brain has a success,
247
565000
3000
Prvo, svaki puta kada vaš mozak doživi uspjeh,
09:43
you just changed the goalpost of what success looked like.
248
568000
2000
vi ste promijenili status onoga kako uspjeh izgleda.
09:45
You got good grades, now you have to get better grades,
249
570000
2000
Dobili ste dobre ocjene, sada morate dobiti bolje ocjene,
09:47
you got into a good school and after you get into a better school,
250
572000
2000
primljeni ste u dobru školu a zatim morate biti primljeni u bolju školu,
09:49
you got a good job, now you have to get a better job,
251
574000
2000
imate dobar posao, sad morate dobiti bolji posao,
09:51
you hit your sales target, we're going to change your sales target.
252
576000
2000
uspjeli ste dosegnuti cilj prodaje, promijenit ćemo vam taj cilj.
09:53
And if happiness is on the opposite side of success, your brain never gets there.
253
578000
3000
A ako je sreća na suprotnoj strani uspjeha, vaš mozak nikada ne stiže tamo.
09:56
What we've done is we've pushed happiness
254
581000
2000
Ono što smo učinili jest da smo gurnuli sreću
09:58
over the cognitive horizon as a society.
255
583000
3000
iza spoznajnog horizonta kao društvo.
10:01
And that's because we think we have to be successful,
256
586000
2000
I to zato što mislimo da moramo biti uspješni
10:03
then we'll be happier.
257
588000
2000
kako bismo bili sretniji.
10:05
But the real problem is our brains work in the opposite order.
258
590000
2000
Ali pravi problem leži u tome što naš mozak radi na suprotan način.
10:07
If you can raise somebody's level of positivity in the present,
259
592000
3000
Ako možete povisiti nečiju razinu pozitivnosti u sadašnjosti,
10:10
then their brain experiences what we now call a happiness advantage,
260
595000
3000
tada njihov mozak iskusi ono što nazivamo prednost sreće,
10:13
which is your brain at positive
261
598000
2000
što znači da vaš mozak u pozitivnom stanju
10:15
performs significantly better
262
600000
2000
funkcionira značajno bolje
10:17
than it does at negative, neutral or stressed.
263
602000
2000
nego u negativnom, neutralnom ili pod stresom.
10:19
Your intelligence rises, your creativity rises, your energy levels rise.
264
604000
3000
Vaša inteligencija raste, vaša kreativnost raste, vaša razina energije raste.
10:22
In fact, what we've found
265
607000
2000
Ustvari, otkrili smo
10:24
is that every single business outcome improves.
266
609000
2000
da se unaprjeđuje svaki pojedini poslovni ishod.
10:26
Your brain at positive is 31 percent more productive
267
611000
2000
Vaš mozak je u pozitivnom stanju 31 posto produktivniji
10:28
than your brain at negative, neutral or stressed.
268
613000
3000
nego u negativnom, neutralnom ili stresnom stanju.
10:31
You're 37 percent better at sales.
269
616000
2000
Prodajne mogućnosti vam rastu za 37 posto,
10:33
Doctors are 19 percent faster, more accurate
270
618000
2000
doktori su 19 posto brži, točniji
10:35
at coming up with the correct diagnosis
271
620000
2000
u uspostavljanju točnih dijagnoza
10:37
when positive instead of negative, neutral or stressed.
272
622000
2000
kada su pozitivni umjesto negativni, neutralni ili pod stresom.
10:39
Which means we can reverse the formula.
273
624000
2000
Što znači da možemo obrnuti formulu.
10:41
If we can find a way of becoming positive in the present,
274
626000
3000
Kada bismo mogli pronaći način kako postati pozitivnima u sadašnjosti,
10:44
then our brains work even more successfully
275
629000
2000
tada bi naši mozgovi radili uspješnije
10:46
as we're able to work harder, faster and more intelligently.
276
631000
3000
jer bismo mogli raditi više, brže i pametnije.
10:49
What we need to be able to do is to reverse this formula
277
634000
3000
Ono što za to trebamo jest obrnuti formulu
10:52
so we can start to see what our brains are actually capable of.
278
637000
2000
kako bismo mogli uvidjeti za što je sve naš razum sposoban.
10:54
Because dopamine, which floods into your system when you're positive,
279
639000
2000
Zato što dopamin koji preplavljuje naš sustav kada smo pozitivni
10:56
has two functions.
280
641000
2000
ima dvije funkcije:
10:58
Not only does it make you happier,
281
643000
2000
ne samo da nas čini sretnijima,
11:00
it turns on all of the learning centers in your brain
282
645000
2000
nego uključuje naše centre za učenje
11:02
allowing you to adapt to the world in a different way.
283
647000
3000
omogućujući nam shvaćanje svijeta na drugačiji način.
11:05
We've found that there are ways that you can train your brain
284
650000
2000
Otkrili smo da postoje načini na koje možete uvježbati svoj mozak
11:07
to be able to become more positive.
285
652000
2000
kako biste postali pozitivniji.
11:09
In just a two-minute span of time done for 21 days in a row,
286
654000
3000
U samo dvije minute vremena u nizu od 21 dana,
11:12
we can actually rewire your brain,
287
657000
2000
možemo promijeniti vaš mozak,
11:14
allowing your brain to actually work
288
659000
2000
dopuštajući mu da radi
11:16
more optimistically and more successfully.
289
661000
2000
optimističnije i uspješnije.
11:18
We've done these things in research now
290
663000
2000
Ovo istraživanje smo učinili
11:20
in every single company that I've worked with,
291
665000
2000
u svakoj tvrtki s kojom sam dosada radio,
11:22
getting them to write down three new things that they're grateful for
292
667000
2000
uputili bismo ih da zapišu tri nove stvari zbog kojih su zahvalni svaki dan,
11:24
for 21 days in a row, three new things each day.
293
669000
2000
21 dan u nizu, tri nove stvari svaki dan.
11:26
And at the end of that,
294
671000
2000
I na kraju tog razdoblja,
11:28
their brain starts to retain a pattern
295
673000
2000
mozak počinje pratiti uzorak
11:30
of scanning the world, not for the negative, but for the positive first.
296
675000
3000
skeniranja svijeta, ali ne za onim što je negativno, nego za onim što je pozitivno.
11:33
Journaling about one positive experience you've had over the past 24 hours
297
678000
2000
Zapisivanje jednog pozitivnog iskustva u proteklih 24sata
11:35
allows your brain to relive it.
298
680000
2000
dopušta vašem mozgu da uživa u tome.
11:37
Exercise teaches your brain that your behavior matters.
299
682000
3000
Vježba uči vaš mozak da je vaše ponašanje važno.
11:40
We find that meditation allows your brain
300
685000
2000
Otkrili smo da meditacija dopušta vašem mozgu
11:42
to get over the cultural ADHD that we've been creating
301
687000
3000
da preboli ADHD koji smo stvorili
11:45
by trying to do multiple tasks at once
302
690000
2000
pokušavajući činiti više stvari istovremeno
11:47
and allows our brains to focus on the task at hand.
303
692000
3000
i dopušta našem mozgu da se usredotoči na zadatak koji trenutačno radi.
11:50
And finally, random acts of kindness are conscious acts of kindness.
304
695000
2000
I konačno, slučajna djela dobrote su svjesna djela dobrote.
11:52
We get people, when they open up their inbox,
305
697000
2000
Potičemo ljude da kada otvore svoj inbox
11:54
to write one positive email
306
699000
2000
napišu jedan pozitivan e-mail
11:56
praising or thanking somebody in their social support network.
307
701000
2000
hvaleći ili zahvaljujući nekom iz njihove društvene mreže.
11:58
And by doing these activities
308
703000
2000
Radeći ove aktivnosti
12:00
and by training your brain just like we train our bodies,
309
705000
2000
te uvježbavajući naš mozak jednako kao što treniramo naša tijela,
12:02
what we've found is we can reverse the formula for happiness and success,
310
707000
3000
otkrili smo da možemo obrnuti formulu za sreću i uspjeh,
12:05
and in doing so, not only create ripples of positivity,
311
710000
3000
i čineći to stvoriti ne samo mreškanja pozitivnosti,
12:08
but create a real revolution.
312
713000
2000
nego i pravu revoluciju.
12:10
Thank you very much.
313
715000
2000
Hvala lijepa!
12:12
(Applause)
