思路拓展:幸福的源泉
1. 做自己喜歡的事情
2. 學(xué)習(xí)的樂趣
3. 朋友帶來的樂趣
4. 生活的簡單輕松
5. 夢想的實現(xiàn)
年輕人不快樂的根源:
客觀上:
1. 有些青少年來自單親家庭,或者是暴力家庭,缺乏溫暖和關(guān)愛,很難快樂。
2. 應(yīng)試教育和填鴨教學(xué)使很多成長中的年輕人不堪重負(fù),更談不上發(fā)展自己的興趣愛好,放松休閑,因此,很多年輕人不快樂。
主觀上:
1. 幸福感其實和自我的期待值有關(guān),欲望好像是鹽水,越喝越渴。有時候,年輕人想要提升自我,但是,又缺乏力量,想要后退,又不甘心,欲求不得的焦慮正是不快樂的根源之一。
2. 羅素在論及快樂的時候提及朋友和愛好可以是快樂的重要源泉,因此,個人愛好很少以及交際圈很小的人,很難獲得更多快樂。
解決策略:
1.父母承擔(dān)對于子女的責(zé)任,為他們營造快樂健康的成長環(huán)境。
2.教育者幫助學(xué)生們調(diào)整心態(tài),同時,緩解學(xué)業(yè)負(fù)擔(dān),豐富校園活動。
3.年輕人積極交友,培養(yǎng)樂觀人生態(tài)度,發(fā)展個人愛好,獲得更多快樂源泉。
