TED演讲：全球幸福指数.docVIP

The Happy Planet Index 全球幸福指数 From Nic Marks 统计学家 Nic Marks 提问，为何我们以一个国家的生产力来衡量其成功与否，而非人民的快乐与身心健康？他因此推出了「快乐星球指数」（HPI），用以追踪一国安康与资源利用之间的关系，因为快乐人生不需要赔上地球，那些国家的 HPI 最高呢？各位可能会吓一跳。Nic Marks 收集让我们感到快乐的证据，用以提倡将人民身心健康与地球摆在优先顺位，他是英国智库新经济基金会（NEF）身心健康中心的创办人。?为何要听他演讲：? Nic Marks 认为生活质量是可测量的，真正的快乐并非来自物质财富的累积，而是来自与他人的联系、与世界接轨及自主权。这并不只是一位身心健康领域研究先锋的理论，Marks 创造出统计的方法来衡量快乐、分析并解释所收集的证据，进而援用于教育、永续发展、保健及经济等政策领域。? 英国伦敦独立智库新经济基金会（NEF）身心健康中心的创辨人，Marks 特别热衷于提倡永续发展与生活质量间的平衡，为了加以研究，他设计了「快乐星球指数」，一项人类身心健康与对环境影响的全球指数，研究结果冲上头条：住在世界上最富有国家的人民消费最多地球资源，但却非身心最健康的人。这激发了一个问题：解套的经济成长又有何意义？ 正文： Nic Marks: The Happy Planet Index 全球幸福指数 Martin Luther King did not say, I have a nightmare, when he inspired the civil rights movements.

I think this film is one of the hardest watches of modern times, The Road. Its a beautiful piece of filmmaking, but everything is desolate, everything is dead. And just a father and son trying to survive, walking along the road. And I think the environmental movement of which I am a part of has been complicit in creating this vision of the future.马丁?路德?金恩未说：「我有一个恶梦」，当他启发民权运动时，他说:「我有一个梦想」，我也有一个梦想，我的梦想是我们可以停止想象未来将会是恶梦一场，而这将是一个挑战，因为，端看近期每一部主要的热门电影，其人类文明愿景几乎全部都像圣经《启示录》所载，我认为《末路浩劫》这部电影是现代最难看懂的电影之一，电影制作很美，但触目皆凄凉，放眼人烟惨绝，只有父子两人试图生存地沿着马路前进，至于环境运动，我身为其中一员，与产生这种未来愿景串成一气。 For too long, we have peddled a nightmarish vision of whats going to happen. We have focused on the worst-case scenario. We have focused on the problems. And we have not thought enough about the solutions. Weve used fear, if you like, to grab peoples attention. And any psychologist will tell you that fear in the organism is linked to flight mechanism. Its part of the fight and flight mechanism, that when an animal is frightened -- t
