但是,意大利精神病学家乔瓦尼·法瓦通过研究发现,当病人被要求将那些使他们快乐的事情记录下来时,"他们的情况好转很多."
Dr Klein said: 'It is incredibly simple – you just sit down in the evening and write down the moments where you feel happy and the circumstances.
克莱因博士说："这个方法非常简单,你只要每晚坐下来,然后把那些让你感到快乐的时刻与当时的情景写下来就可以了."
'The object of the exercise is to simply make you more aware of these moments to know yourself better.
"这个练习的目的只是为了让你更多地意识到那些感觉良好的时刻,让你更了解自己."
'Even in states of severe depression there are moments of happiness, but the person suffering it doesn't believe they have these moments in their lives.'
"即使处于严重的抑郁状态,也总会有幸福快乐的时刻,但是患抑郁的人却不相信在他们的生命中也有快乐的时刻."
And if you decide to take Dr Klein's advice, you can make yourself even happier by recommending the technique to others.
如果你决定接受克莱因博士的建议,那么把这个技巧介绍给他人吧,这会让你更快乐.
Happiness occurs when the brain releases endorphins – chemicals that trigger positive feelings – and scientists have found this occurs not only when we achieve one of our own goals, but when we help someone else achieve theirs.
当大脑释放内啡肽（能引发积极情感的化学物质）时,幸福感就会产生.此外,科学家发现幸福感不仅仅在我们达到自己的预期目标时产生,在我们帮助他人实现目标时也会产生幸福感.
Dr Klein added it is important not to dwell on the times we felt sad, saying: 'Going deep down into your negative feelings, [the idea] it has a cathartic effect, and you have to cry your tears out and shout your fears out, is really c**p'.'
克莱因博士补充道,最重要的是不要一味沉浸于那种悲伤情绪之中,"沉入你内心的负面情绪,（那种说）这样做有宣泄作用,你必须哭出来,将害怕的情绪宣泄出来,那都是胡说."
The idea we should delve into our sadness became popular under Sigmund Freud, who saw the mind as a pressure cooker that needed to let out steam. But Dr Klein argued this was a 'misguided analogy'.
精神分析学家西格蒙德·佛洛伊德,将心灵看做一个需要释放压力的高压锅,在他的提倡下,深入探究我们的悲伤情绪这种理念得以普及.但是克莱因博士却认为这种看法是个"有误导性的类比".
