It's 2008,
0
786
1761
時間是 2008 年,
00:14
and I'm just finishing精加工
my first year of design設計 school學校.
1
2571
3500
我剛完成設計學院的第一年學業。
00:19
And I'm at my first year-end年終 review評論,
2
7074
2857
到了我要面對
第一次年終審查的時候,
00:21
which哪一個 is a form形成 of ritual儀式 torture拷打
for design設計 students學生們,
3
9955
6867
這審查對於設計系學生來說,
是種儀式性的折磨,
00:28
where they make you take everything
you made製作 over the course課程 of the year
4
16846
3723
他們會要你把在過去一年
做出的所有成果拿出來,
00:32
and lay鋪設 it out on a table
5
20593
2340
攤開在桌面上,
00:34
and stand next下一個 to it
while a bunch of professors教授,
6
22957
2861
站在一旁,等著一群教授,
00:37
most of whom you've never seen看到 before,
7
25842
2721
大部分都是你從未見過的教授,
00:40
give you their unfiltered未經過濾 opinions意見 of it.
8
28587
2619
把他們未經篩選的意見丟給你。
00:44
So it's my turn and I'm standing常設
next下一個 to my table,
9
32699
3191
輪到我了,我站在我的桌子旁,
00:47
everything neatly整潔 lined up,
10
35914
2796
一切都整齊地擺好,
00:50
and I'm just hoping希望
that my professors教授 can see
11
38734
3800
我希望我的教授們能夠看見
00:54
how much effort功夫 I've put
into making製造 my designs設計 practical實際的
12
42558
5573
我投入了多少努力
才讓我的設計變得很實際、
01:00
and ergonomic符合人體工程學的 and sustainable可持續發展.
13
48155
3655
符合人體工學,且具有永續性。
01:05
And I'm starting開始 to get really nervous緊張,
14
53430
1860
我開始感到很緊張,
01:07
because for a long time,
no one says anything.
15
55314
3291
因為有很長一段時間沒有人出聲,
01:10
It's just completely全然 silent無聲.
16
58629
1951
就只是一片寂靜。
01:13
And then one of the professors教授
starts啟動 to speak說話, and he says,
17
61067
2880
接著,其中一名教授
開始說話,他說:
01:15
"Your work gives me a feeling感覺 of joy喜悅."
18
63971
2477
「你的作品帶給我喜悅的感覺。」
01:19
Joy喜悅?
19
67407
1150
喜悅?
01:21
I wanted to be a designer設計師
because I wanted to solve解決 real真實 problems問題.
20
69467
3383
我想要成為設計師,
是因為我想要解決真實的問題。
01:24
Joy喜悅 is nice不錯, I guess猜測,
but it's kind of light --
21
72874
4358
喜悅很好,我想是吧,
但它有點輕——
01:29
not substantial大量的.
22
77256
1439
不怎麼實在。
01:31
But I was also kind of intrigued好奇,
23
79921
1572
但我同時也感到好奇,
01:33
because joy喜悅 is this intangible無形 feeling感覺,
24
81517
4487
因為喜悅是一種無形的感覺,
01:38
and how does that come
from the stuff東東 on the table next下一個 to me?
25
86028
3551
喜悅怎麼會來自
我旁邊桌上的這些東西?
01:42
I asked the professors教授,
26
90468
1218
我問了教授們:
01:43
"How do things make us feel joy喜悅?
27
91710
2409
「東西要如何讓我們感受到喜悅?
01:46
How do tangible有形 things
make us feel intangible無形 joy喜悅?"
28
94143
4963
有形的東西要如何
讓我們感受到無形的喜悅?」
01:52
They hemmed包圍 and hawedhawed
and gestured a lot with their hands.
29
100306
4184
他們發出哼聲,發出呃聲,
手也不停地比著許多手勢。
01:57
"They just do," they said.
30
105030
1752
他們說:「反正就是會。」
01:59
I packed打包 up my things for the summer夏季,
31
107907
1828
我把東西打包去過暑假。
02:01
but I couldn't不能 stop thinking思維
about this question ...
32
109759
3152
但我無法停止去想這個問題……
02:06
and this launched推出 a journey旅程 --
33
114107
1469
這就開啟了一段旅行——
02:07
one that I didn't know at the time
would take me 10 years年份 --
34
115600
3132
我當時並不知道這段旅行
會花我十年的時間——
02:10
to understand理解 the relationship關係
between之間 the physical物理 world世界
35
118756
3463
目的是要了解,
實體世界與被我們稱為
02:14
and the mysterious神秘,
quixotic不切實際 emotion情感 we call "joy喜悅."
36
122243
4980
「喜悅」的不切實際的
神秘情緒,有什麼關係。
02:20
And what I discovered發現
is that not only are they linked關聯,
37
128007
4130
我發現兩者之間不但有關聯,
02:24
but that the physical物理 world世界
can be a powerful強大 resource資源 to us
38
132161
3634
且那個實體世界還能夠
成為強大的資源,
02:27
in creating創建 happier幸福, healthier健康 lives生活.
39
135819
3605
讓我們創造更快樂、更健康的生活。
02:32
After my review評論,
40
140362
1179
在我的審查之後,
02:33
I thought, "I know what joy喜悅 feels感覺 like,
41
141565
2473
我心想:「我知道
喜悅的感受是怎樣的,
02:36
but what is it, exactly究竟?"
42
144062
2309
但它到底是什麼?」
02:38
And I found發現 that even scientists科學家們
don't always agree同意,
43
146717
3427
我發現,即使是科學家
也不見得有共識,
02:42
and they sometimes有時 use the words "joy喜悅"
and "happiness幸福" and "positivity陽性"
44
150168
3475
他們有時在用「喜悅」這個詞時,
或多或少代表的是
02:45
more or less interchangeably互換.
45
153667
1794
「快樂」和「正面」的意思。
02:48
But broadly寬廣地 speaking請講,
when psychologists心理學家 use the word joy喜悅,
46
156989
2889
但廣泛來說,當心理學家
用喜悅這個詞時,
02:51
what they mean is an intense激烈,
momentary瞬間 experience經驗
47
159902
3405
指的是對於正面情緒有種強烈、
02:55
of positive emotion情感 --
48
163331
1443
瞬間的體驗。
02:56
one that makes品牌 us smile微笑 and laugh
and feel like we want to jump up and down.
49
164798
3997
這種情緒會讓我們微笑和大笑,
且會想要跳上跳下。
03:01
And this is actually其實 a technical技術 thing.
50
169152
1859
這其實是很技術性的。
03:03
That feeling感覺 of wanting希望
to jump up and down
51
171035
2001
想要跳上跳下的感覺,
03:05
is one of the ways方法
that scientists科學家們 measure測量 joy喜悅.
52
173060
3261
是科學家用來衡量喜悅的方式之一。
03:09
It's different不同 than happiness幸福,
53
177387
1618
它和快樂不同,
03:11
which哪一個 measures措施 how good we feel over time.
54
179029
2635
快樂所測量的是,
隨著時間我們的感覺有多好。
03:13
Joy喜悅 is about feeling感覺 good in the moment時刻,
55
181688
2984
喜悅則是在此刻、當下
03:16
right now.
56
184696
1150
感覺很好。
03:19
And this was interesting有趣 to me
57
187007
1474
這對我來說很有意思,
03:20
because as a culture文化, we are obsessed痴迷
with the pursuit追求 of happiness幸福,
58
188505
3518
因為我們文化很迷戀「追求快樂」,
03:24
and yet然而 in the process處理,
we kind of overlook俯瞰 joy喜悅.
59
192047
3860
但在過程中,我們會忽視了喜悅。
03:30
So this got me thinking思維:
60
198737
3167
所以,這就讓我想著:
03:33
Where does joy喜悅 come from?
61
201928
1938
喜悅從何而來?
03:36
I started開始 asking everyone大家 I knew知道,
62
204797
1573
我開始問每個我認識的人,
03:38
and even people I just met會見 on the street,
63
206394
2941
甚至我在街上遇到的人,
03:41
about the things that brought them joy喜悅.
64
209359
1860
問他們什麼會帶給他們喜悅。
03:43
On the subway地鐵, in a cafCAFé, on an airplane飛機,
65
211243
2913
在地鐵上、在咖啡廳、在飛機上,
03:46
it was, "Hi你好, nice不錯 to meet遇到 you.
What brings帶來 you joy喜悅?"
66
214180
3245
我會說:「嗨,很高興認識你。
什麼會帶給你喜悅?」
03:50
I felt like a detective偵探.
67
218544
1776
我覺得自己像個偵探。
03:52
I was like, "When did you last see it?
68
220867
1925
我會問:「你上次見到它是何時?
03:54
Who were you with? What color顏色 was it?
69
222816
1787
當時還有誰在?它是什麼顏色?
03:56
Did anyone任何人 else其他 see it?"
70
224627
1175
有其他人看到它嗎?」
03:58
I was the Nancy南希 Drew德魯 of joy喜悅.
71
226353
2254
我是喜悅的「南茜茱兒」。
(註:虛構的偵探人物)
04:00
(Laughter笑聲)
72
228631
1150
(笑聲)
04:02
And after a few少數 months個月 of this,
I noticed注意到 that there were certain某些 things
73
230579
3381
這麼做了幾個月之後,
我注意到有某些事物
04:05
that started開始 to come up again
and again and again.
74
233984
3053
會一而再,再而三地被提到。
04:09
They were things like cherry櫻桃 blossoms花朵
75
237061
3283
這些事物包括盛開的櫻花、
04:12
and bubbles泡泡 ...
76
240368
1304
泡泡、
04:14
swimming游泳的 pools and tree houses房屋 ...
77
242810
3119
游泳池、樹屋、
04:19
hot air空氣 balloons氣球 and googly曲棍球 eyes眼睛 --
78
247728
3718
熱氣球、卡通眼,
04:23
(Laughter笑聲)
79
251470
1079
(笑聲)
04:24
and ice cream奶油 cones,
especially特別 the ones那些 with the sprinkles.
80
252573
3105
還有冰淇淋甜筒,
特別是上面還有點綴的那種。
04:29
These things seemed似乎 to cut across橫過 lines
of age年齡 and gender性別 and ethnicity種族.
81
257172
4865
這些事物似乎能夠跨越
年齡、性別,以及種族。
04:34
I mean, if you think about it,
82
262543
1477
你們可以想想看,
04:36
we all stop and turn our heads to the sky天空
83
264044
1960
我們都停下來,把頭轉向天空,
04:38
when the multicolored五彩 arc
of a rainbow彩虹 streaks條紋 across橫過 it.
84
266028
2803
多彩的彩虹橫跨在天際。
04:41
And fireworks煙花 --
85
269909
1539
還有煙火——
04:43
we don't even need to know
what they're for,
86
271472
2088
甚至無須知道放煙火的目的,
04:45
and we feel like we're celebrating慶祝, too.
87
273584
2867
也會覺得我們一同在慶祝。
04:50
These things aren't joyful快樂
for just a few少數 people;
88
278860
2748
並不是只有少數人覺得
這些事物會帶來喜悅;
04:53
they're joyful快樂 for nearly幾乎 everyone大家.
89
281632
2829
幾乎人人都這麼覺得。
04:56
They're universally舉世 joyful快樂.
90
284485
2061
它們會給全天下都帶來喜悅。
05:00
And seeing眼看 them all together一起,
91
288504
2379
看到他們全部在一起,
05:02
it gave me this indescribably別提
hopeful有希望 feeling感覺.
92
290907
3681
讓我有一種無法描述
但充滿希望的感覺。
05:08
The sharply大幅 divided分為,
politically政治上 polarized偏振 world世界 we live生活 in
93
296012
3089
我們現在生活在政治兩極化、
嚴重分裂的世界中,
05:11
sometimes有時 has the effect影響
of making製造 our differences分歧 feel so vast廣大
94
299125
5030
這世界有時會讓我們的差異
感覺起來好巨大,
05:16
as to be insurmountable不可逾越.
95
304179
1901
到了無法克服的程度。
05:18
And yet然而 underneath it all,
96
306104
1292
然而,在這一切背後,
05:19
there's a part部分 of each of us
that finds認定 joy喜悅 in the same相同 things.
97
307420
3632
我們每個人都有一部分,
會在同樣的事物中找到喜悅。
05:24
And though雖然 we're often經常 told
that these are just passing通過 pleasures樂趣,
98
312156
4127
雖然常常有人告訴我們,
這些都是稍縱即逝的愉悅,
05:28
in fact事實, they're really important重要,
99
316307
2554
但事實上,它們其實很重要,
05:30
because they remind提醒 us
of the shared共享 humanity人性 we find
100
318885
3452
因為它們提醒我們,在實體世界中,
在我們的共同經驗裡,
我們能夠找到共同的人性。
05:34
in our common共同 experience經驗
of the physical物理 world世界.
101
322361
2812
05:38
But I still needed需要 to know:
102
326309
1445
但我仍然需要知道:
05:39
What is it about these things
that makes品牌 them so joyful快樂?
103
327778
4655
這些事物為什麼能
帶給我們如此的喜悅?
05:45
I had pictures圖片 of them
up on my studio工作室 wall,
104
333299
2908
我在工作室的牆壁上,
貼滿了它們的圖片,
05:48
and every一切 day, I would come in
and try to make sense of it.
105
336231
3317
每天,我走進工作室,
都會試著理出頭緒來。
05:52
And then one day, something just clicked點擊.
106
340662
2632
有一天,靈光就這麼一閃。
05:56
I saw all these patterns模式:
107
344144
2158
我看到了所有的模式:
05:59
round回合 things ...
108
347422
1293
圓形的東西……
06:01
pops持久性有機污染物 of bright color顏色 ...
109
349969
1936
明亮的顏色……
06:05
symmetrical對稱 shapes形狀 ...
110
353512
1699
對稱的形狀……
06:08
a sense of abundance豐富 and multiplicity多重 ...
111
356636
2797
豐足和多樣性的感覺……
06:12
a feeling感覺 of lightness亮度 or elevation海拔.
112
360877
3384
很輕或是升起的感受。
06:17
When I saw it this way,
113
365328
1151
用這種角度來看,
06:18
I realized實現 that though雖然 the feeling感覺 of joy喜悅
is mysterious神秘 and elusive難以捉摸,
114
366503
4079
我了解到,雖然喜悅的感覺
很神秘且難以理解,
06:22
we can access訪問 it through通過 tangible有形,
physical物理 attributes屬性,
115
370606
3318
我們仍然能夠透過有形、
實體的特徵來取得它,
06:25
or what designers設計師 call aesthetics美學,
116
373948
2814
或是說透過設計師
所謂的美感來取得它,
06:28
a word that comes from the same相同 root
as the Greek希臘語 word "aísthomaisthomai,"
117
376786
3646
「美感」這個詞和希臘字
「aísthomai」有同樣的字根,
06:32
which哪一個 means手段, "I feel,"
"I sense," "I perceive感知."
118
380456
3996
這個希臘字的意思是「我覺得」、
「我感覺」、「我感到」。
06:37
And since以來 these patterns模式 were telling告訴 me
that joy喜悅 begins開始 with the senses感官,
119
385668
4451
因為這些模式讓我知道
喜悅始於感受,
06:42
I began開始 calling調用 them "Aesthetics美學 of Joy喜悅";
120
390143
2843
所以我開始稱它們為
「喜悅的美感」,
06:45
the sensations感覺 of joy喜悅.
121
393010
1949
喜悅的知覺。
06:48
And in the wake喚醒 of this discovery發現,
122
396484
1628
在發現了這些之後,
06:50
I noticed注意到 something
that as I walked around,
123
398136
2145
我注意到一件事,
當我四處走動時,
06:52
I began開始 spotting斑點 little moments瞬間
of joy喜悅 everywhere到處 I went --
124
400305
5091
不論走到哪,
我都會看見喜悅的小時刻——
06:57
a vintage釀酒 yellow黃色 car汽車
125
405420
1356
一台黃色老爺車,
06:58
or a clever聰明 piece of street art藝術.
126
406800
1922
或一件巧妙的街頭藝術作品。
07:00
It was like I had a pair
of rose-colored玫瑰色 glasses眼鏡,
127
408746
4733
就好像我有一副玫瑰色的眼鏡,
07:05
and now that I knew知道 what to look for,
128
413503
2860
既然我知道要找尋什麼了,
07:08
I was seeing眼看 it everywhere到處.
129
416387
1354
我到哪都能看到它。
07:09
It was like these little moments瞬間 of joy喜悅
were hidden in plain sight視力.
130
417765
3429
彷彿這些歡樂的小時刻
隱藏在明顯的景像中。
07:14
And at the same相同 time,
131
422870
1578
同時,
07:16
I had another另一個 realization實現,
132
424472
1333
我有另一個領悟:
07:17
that if these are the things
that bring帶來 us joy喜悅,
133
425829
3049
如果這些事物能帶給我們喜悅,
07:20
then why does so much

07:25
Why do we go to work here?

我們為何要到這裡來工作?
07:27
Why do we send發送 our kids孩子 to schools學校
that look like this?
137

2689
我們為何要把孩子送到
看起來像這樣子的學校?
07:31
Why do our cities城市 look like this?

為何我們的城市看起來會像這樣?
07:34
And this is most acute急性 for the places地方
that house the people
139
442256

這個問題最嚴重的地方,
是收容我們當中
07:39

最脆弱的那些人的地方:
07:41

07:49
How did we end結束 up in a world世界
that looks容貌 like this?
145
457925
3214
為什麼我們最後會生活在
像這樣的世界裡?
07:54
We all start開始 out joyful快樂,
146
462992
2078
我們都是帶著喜悅來到這個世界,
07:57
but as we get older舊的,
147
465094
3574
但隨著我們長大,
08:00
being存在 colorful華美 or exuberant旺盛
opens打開 us up to judgment判斷.
148
468692
4513
太多顏色或太生氣勃勃,
會讓我們被人評斷。
08:05
Adults成人 who exhibit展示 genuine真正 joy喜悅
are often經常 dismissed駁回 as childish幼稚
149
473883
5175
展現出真誠喜悅的成人,
通常會被看貶成幼稚,
08:11
or too feminine女人
150
479082
2060
或是太女性化,
08:13
or unserious不嚴肅
151
481166
2162
或是不夠嚴肅,
08:15
or self-indulgent放縱的,
152
483352
1964
或自我放縱,
08:18
and so we hold保持 ourselves我們自己 back from joy喜悅,
153
486139
3595
所以我們控制自己不喜悅,
08:21
and we end結束 up in a world世界
that looks容貌 like this.
154
489758
2583
最後就生活在這樣的世界中了。
08:25
But if the aesthetics美學 of joy喜悅 can be used
155
493936
1906
但,如果喜悅的美感可以被用來
08:27
to help us find more joy喜悅
in the world世界 around us,
156
495866
2262
協助我們在周遭的世界中
找到更多喜悅,
08:30
then couldn't不能 they also be used
to create創建 more joy喜悅?
157
498152
2686
那麼它們能不能被用來
創造更多喜悅呢?
08:33
I spent花費 that last two years年份
scouring the planet行星,
158
501537
2434
我過去兩年間都在到處搜索,
08:35
looking for different不同 ways方法
that people have answered回答 this question.
159
503995
3959
尋找人們用來回答
這個問題的各種方式。
08:40
And this led me to the work
of the artist藝術家 Arakawa荒川
160
508719
2513
這就將我引導到藝術家荒川
以及詩人瑪德琳琴斯的作品,
08:43
and the poet詩人 Madeline馬德琳 Gins軋花機,
161
511256
1731
08:45
who believed相信 that these kinds
of environments環境 are literally按照字面 killing謀殺 us.
162
513011
4792
他們相信,這類的環境
真的是在扼殺我們。
08:50
And so they set out the create創建
an apartment公寓 building建造
163
518686
3833
所以他們決定要創造出
一棟公寓大樓,
08:54
that they believed相信 would reverse相反 aging老化.
164
522543
2515
他們認為這棟大樓能夠逆轉老化。
08:58
And this is it.
165
526313
1170
就是它。
09:00
(Laughter笑聲)
166
528026
3215
(笑聲)
09:03
(Applause掌聲)
167
531265
3493
(掌聲)
09:06
It's a real真實 place地點, just outside Tokyo東京.
168
534782
2969
這是真實的地方,就在東京外圍。
09:09
I spent花費 a night there, and it's a lot.
169
537775
3627
我在那裡住了一晚,
真的很多要消化的。
09:13
(Laughter笑聲)
170
541426
2699
(笑聲)
09:16
The floors地板 undulate波動,
171
544149
1737
地板是波浪起伏的,
09:17
so you don't end結束 up walking步行 around
172
545910
2265
所以其實在公寓裡,你並不會
09:20
so much as kind of bouncing蹦蹦
around the apartment公寓,
173
548199
2502
常常走來走去,更多是彈來彈去,
09:22
and there are bright colors顏色
in every一切 direction方向.
174
550725
4232
且在每個方向都有很明亮的顏色。
09:28
I'm not sure I left any younger更年輕,
175
556265
2337
我不確定我離開時有變年輕,
09:30
but it's as if, by trying
to create創建 an apartment公寓
176
558626
4204
但就好像他們試著創造一間
09:34
that would make us feel youthful青春的,
177
562854
2072
讓我們感覺年輕的公寓,
09:36
they ended結束 up creating創建
one that was joyful快樂.
178
564950
3330
最後卻創造出了喜悅的公寓。
09:41
And yes, this is a bit much
for everyday每天 life,
179
569277
2532
是的,對於日常生活來說,
這是有點過頭了,
09:43
but it made製作 me wonder奇蹟:
What about the rest休息 of us?
180
571833
3406
但它讓我納悶:
那麼我們剩下的人呢?
09:47
How do we bring帶來 these ideas思路
back into the real真實 world世界?
181
575263
4411
我們要如何把這些點子
帶回到真實世界中?
09:52
So I started開始 finding發現 people
who were doing just that.
182
580621
2688
所以我開始找有誰在這麼做。
09:55
For example, this hospital醫院, designed設計
by the Danish丹麥 artist藝術家 PoulPoul GernesGernes.
183
583939
4004
比如,這間醫院,
由丹麥藝術家波爾傑恩斯設計。
10:00
Or these schools學校,
184
588674
1480
或這些學校,
10:02
transformed改造 by the non-profit非盈利 PublicolorPublicolor.
185
590178
2448
由非營利的 Publicolor 組織改造而成。
10:05
What's interesting有趣 is that PublicolorPublicolor
has heard聽說 from school學校 administrators管理員
186
593195
3539
有趣的是 Publicolor
聽到學校行政人員說,
10:08
who say that attendance improves提高,
187
596758
3130
出席率改善了,
10:11
graffiti塗鴉 disappears消失
188
599912
1876
牆上的塗鴉消失了,
10:13
and kids孩子 actually其實 say they feel safer更安全
in these painted schools學校.
189
601812
3741
孩子們還說他們在這些
彩繪學校中感覺更安全。
10:18
And this aligns對齊 with research研究
conducted進行 in four countries國家,
190
606090
2997
有一項在四個國家進行的研究,
也有一致的結果,
10:21
which哪一個 shows節目 that people
working加工 in more colorful華美 offices辦事處
191
609111
3627
該研究顯示,在比較多彩的
辦公室中工作的人,
10:24
are actually其實 more alert警報,
192
612762
1655
真的會比較機靈、
10:26
more confident信心
193
614441
1257
比較自信,
10:27
and friendlier友好 than those
working加工 in drab單調 spaces空間.
194
615722
2947
也比較友善,
勝過在單調空間中工作的人。
10:32
Why would this be the case案件?
195
620620
1592
為什麼會這樣?
10:34
Well, as I started開始 to trace跟踪 back
our love of color顏色,
196
622236
3991
當我開始回溯我們對顏色的熱愛,
10:38
I found發現 that some researchers研究人員
see a connection連接 to our evolution演化.
197
626251
4302
我發現,有些研究者看見了
與我們演化的關聯性。
10:43
Color顏色, in a very primal原始 way,
is a sign標誌 of life, a sign標誌 of energy能源.
198
631292
5271
就很原始的層面來說,
顏色是生命的徵象、能量的徵象。
10:49
And the same相同 is true真正 of abundance豐富.
199
637063
2029
豐富性也是一樣。
10:51
We evolved進化 in a world世界
where scarcity缺乏 is dangerous危險,
200
639116
3350
在這個世界中,
少數是危險的,豐富代表生存,
10:54
and abundance豐富 meant意味著 survival生存.
201
642490
2685
而我們在這個世界中演化。
10:58
So, one confettoconfetto --
202
646091
3223
所以,一顆彩色點——
11:01
which哪一個 happens發生 to be
the singular單數 of confetti五彩紙屑,
203
649338
2230
如果你納悶的話,
它就是彩色點的複數——
11:03
in case案件 you were wondering想知道 --
204
651592
1397
11:05
(Laughter笑聲)
205
653013
1365
(笑聲)
11:06
isn't very joyful快樂,
206
654402
2061
不是很讓人感到喜悅,
11:08
but multiply it,
207
656487
1423
但把它變多,
11:09
and you have a handful少數
of one of the most joyful快樂 substances物質
208
657934
2763
你就會得到一堆地球上
最讓人感到喜悅的物質之一。
11:12
on the planet行星.
209
660721
1150
11:14
The architect建築師 Emmanuelle艾曼紐 MoureauxMoureaux
uses使用 this idea理念 in her work a lot.
210
662494
3985
建築師伊曼紐爾 · 馬洛常常
在她的作品中用到這個想法。
11:18
This is a nursing看護 home she designed設計,
211
666503
1792
這是她設計的護理之家,
11:20
where she uses使用 these multicolored五彩 spheres
to create創建 a feeling感覺 of abundance豐富.
212
668319
4437
她用多色的球體
來創造出豐富的感覺。
11:25
And what about all those
round回合 things I noticed注意到?
213
673752
2264
那我注意到圓形東西
又是怎麼回事?
11:29
Well, it turns out neuroscientists神經學家
have studied研究 this, too.
214
677159
3292
結果發現,
科學家也研究過這一點。
11:32
They put people into fMRI功能磁共振成像 machines,
215
680475
2421
他們把人放到功能性
磁共振成像機器中,
11:34
and they showed顯示 them pictures圖片
of angular objects對象 and round回合 ones那些.
216
682920
4347
讓他們看圖片,
圖片上是有角的物體和圓形的物體。
11:40
And what they found發現 is that the amygdala杏仁核,
217
688011
2406
結果發現,杏仁核,也就是
11:42
a part部分 of the brain associated相關
in part部分 with fear恐懼 and anxiety焦慮,
218
690441
3626
大腦中和恐懼與焦慮相關的部分,
11:46
lit發光的 up when people
looked看著 at angular objects對象,
219
694091
2189
在受試者看到有角的
物體時就會亮起來,
11:48
but not when they looked看著
at the round回合 ones那些.
220
696304
2000
但看到圓形的物體時卻不會。
11:51
They speculate推測 that because
angles in nature性質
221
699310
3520
他們推測,這是因為在大自然中,
11:54
are often經常 associated相關 with objects對象
that might威力 be dangerous危險 to us,
222
702854
3533
「角」通常和會造成
危險的物體有關聯,
11:58
that we evolved進化 an unconscious無意識
sense of caution警告 around these shapes形狀,
223
706411
5015
我們無意識地演化出了
對於這類形狀的警覺心,
12:03
whereas curves曲線 set us at ease緩解.
224
711450
2595
曲線則會讓我們比較放鬆。
12:06
You can see this in action行動
in the new Sandy Hook Elementary初級 School學校.
225
714637
3876
在新的桑迪胡克小學
就可以看到實際應用。
12:11
After the mass shooting射擊 there in 2012,
226
719257
2003
在 2012 年發生槍擊案之後,
12:13
the architects建築師 SvigalsSvigals + Partners夥伴
227
721284
1969
建築公司 Svigals + Partners
12:15
knew知道 that they needed需要 to create創建
a building建造 that was secure安全,
228
723277
3263
知道他們需要建立安全的建築物,
12:18
but they wanted to create創建
one that was joyful快樂,
229
726564
2247
但他們也想讓它帶來喜悅,
12:20
and so they filled填充 it with curves曲線.
230
728835
1693
所以他們用上了很多曲線。
12:22
There are waves波浪 running賽跑
along沿 the side of the building建造,
231
730552
2841
在建築的邊緣會有許多的波浪,
12:25
and these squiggly彎彎曲曲 canopies
over the entryway入口,
232
733417
3341
在入口上方有彎曲的頂篷,
12:28
and the whole整個 building建造 bends彎曲
toward the entrance入口
233
736782
2904
整棟建築則是向入口處彎曲,
12:31
in a welcoming歡迎 gesture手勢.
234
739710
1656
這象徵著歡迎。
12:35
Each moment時刻 of joy喜悅 is small,
235
743726
2623
每一個喜悅的時刻都很微小,
12:38
but over time, they add up to more
than the sum of their parts部分.
236
746373
4210
但隨著時間,它們加總起來,
就會積少成多。
12:44
And so maybe instead代替
of chasing after happiness幸福,
237
752553
3339
也許,我們不該追求快樂,
12:47
what we should be doing is embracing擁抱 joy喜悅
238
755916
3178
而是要去擁抱喜悅,
12:51
and finding發現 ways方法 to put ourselves我們自己
in the path路徑 of it more often經常.
239
759118
4945
找到讓我們能更常發現喜悅的方法。
12:57
Deep within us,
240
765697
1189
我們內心深處,
12:58
we all have this impulse衝動
to seek尋求 out joy喜悅 in our surroundings環境.
241
766910
4898
都有種衝動,
想在周圍的環境中找到喜悅。
13:04
And we have it for a reason原因.
242
772453
2099
人會有這種衝動是有理由的。
13:07
Joy喜悅 isn't some superfluous多餘 extra額外.
243
775223
3452
喜悅並非多餘不必要的。
13:11
It's directly connected連接的 to our fundamental基本的
instinct直覺 for survival生存.
244
779573
5120
它和我們基本的生存直覺
有著直接的關聯。
13:17
On the most basic基本 level水平,
245
785885
2244
在最基礎的層面上,
13:20
the drive駕駛 toward joy喜悅
is the drive駕駛 toward life.
246
788153
4728
驅使我們找到喜悅的動因,
同樣驅動著生命。
13:25

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Ingrid Fetell Lee - Designer, writer
Ingrid Fetell Lee studies joy and reveals how we can find more of it in the world around us.

Why you should listen

Ingrid Fetell Lee has devoted ten years to answering the question: "How do tangible things create intangible joy?" Drawing on research from the fields of neuroscience and psychology, her book, Joyful, and her blog "The Aesthetics of Joy" explore the powerful connection between our surroundings and our emotions, and empower people to find more joy in daily life through design. 

Lee has more than twelve years of experience in design and branding, most recently as design director at global innovation firm IDEO. She has been featured as an expert on design and joy by outlets such as the New York Times, Wired, PRI's Studio 360, CBC's Spark and Fast Company. 

Lee holds a Master's in industrial design from Pratt Institute and a Bachelor's in English and creative writing from Princeton University, and she was a founding faculty member in the Products of Design program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Joyful, her first book, will be published in North America by Little, Brown on September 4th.
