背景知识介绍:
每个人都有自身免疫系统,强大的免疫系统能帮我们抵御身体上的疾病。
但是,当我们的“精神”生病了呢?
传统的心理医生认为,既然生病了,那就想办法战胜疾病。
Tal博士却认为,相对于疾病,我们更应该关注自身健康,因为我们也存在着“心理免疫系统”。
当我们通过培养自身能力不断强化它时,我们就能逐渐预防心理上的疾病。因此,在遇到挫折时,我们也能笑着面对,不会被小小的挫折所击败。

What happens when we have a strong physical immune system? Does it mean that we don't get ill? Of course not, we do. But it can means that we get ill less often and when we do get sick, we'll recover more promptly. This is exactly what cultivating strengths, optimism, sense of purpose, meaning, mindfulness, this is exactly what these characteristics do. They enlarge, transform the way we see, the way we experience the world, enlarge the capacity of the form. And thus we're better able to deal with inevitable difficulties. And there are inevitable difficulties. No life is completely immune to those.
当我们生理免疫系统非常强大时会怎样?是不是意味着我们就不会生病呢?当然不是,我们还是会生病。但我们得病的几率会降低,并且当我们生病时,我们也能很快的康复。正因为如此,我们才要培养自身优势,乐观,目的性,意义和专注力,这些特性的作用正在于此。他们拓展并转变了我们看待和感受世界的方式,拓展了能力的范围。也能使我们更好的处理不可避免的挫折。生活中确实存在着不可避免的挫折,任何人的生活都不例外。
