Topics
Maya Shankar：心理活动（mental chatter）会严重损害幸福感，它不同于正常的内心独白，是一种消极的、反复循环的思维模式。通过改变自言自语的方式，例如使用第三人称（distance self-talk）或设想自己处于未来（temporal distancing），可以有效减少消极心理活动。此外，培养自我同情心（self-compassion）, 包括觉察、共同人性以及自我善待三个方面，也能提升幸福感和表现。自我同情并非放纵自我，而是以一种友善和好奇的方式对待自己，从而促进成长和进步。 Laurie Santos：赞同Maya Shankar的观点，并补充说明自我同情并非放纵自我，而是促进个人成长和进步的重要工具。它能帮助人们克服羞耻感，并提升对自身和他人同理心。
