I wannatalknowaboutfivetoptipsthat I gotfromthisbook.
この本から得た5つの秘訣について話したい。
Butbefore I dothat, I wannatalk a littlebitaboutwhyam I reading a bookaboutrelationships?
でも、その前に、なぜ私が恋愛についての本を読んでいるのかについて少し話したい。
Tobehonest, I thinkeverysinglepersonintheworldshouldbereadingmoreandlearningmoreandfindingoutmoreaboutrelationshipsbecauseasresearchhasshownandasourownexperienceshows, relationshipsarethesinglemostimportantthinginourlife.
Likewhenyou'relyingonyourdeathbed, you'renotgonnabeworryingaboutwhetheryouputoutanextravideoorwhetherthatpersonwhosaidsomethingmeantoyouinhighschoolisjust a thing.
And I thinkrelationshipsarethisweirdareawhereby a lotofpeoplejustsortofthink, oh, you'remeanttojustmakeitupasyougoalong.
人間関係というのは奇妙なもので、多くの人が、ああ、自分次第でどうにでもなると思っている。
I thinkpeopleliketheschooloflife, AlaindeBotton, likethepeoplewhowriteaboutthisstuffarefantasticandLogandefinitelygonnaaddtomyVIPlistofrelationshipadvisors.
Youknow, if I thinkaboutmyself, like I enjoyreadingbooksaboutrelationshipsandyet I listenedtoofthe 100 orsopodcasts I'm subscribedto, maybeoneortwoarethemedaroundrelationshipsand 98 ofthemarethemedaroundhowtobemoreproductive, howtomakemoremoney, howtolaunch a business, thatkindofstuff, whichisweird, right?
Andsotobehonest, movingforwardonthischannel, I wannatalkaboutmoreaboutfriendships, relationships, love, thatsideofthehumancondition, which I haven't reallytalkedaboutinthepast, beenreadingaboutitfor a longtime.
Andtheproblemwithbeing a maximiser, which I amandyoupossiblyareaswell, ifyouarewatchingthissortofvideoabout a booksummary, theproblemwithbeing a maximiseristhatwetendtoobsessovermakingtherightdecision.
I'm justgonnakeepmydatingappsactivejustso I canseewhat's outthere.
出会い系アプリは常にアクティブにしておくつもりだ。
Likeforexample, ifyouwantedtowatchsomethingonNetflix, being a maximiserwouldbelike, okay, I'm gonnalookthroughtheentirecatalogueofabsolutelyeverythingthat's availableonNetflix.
Anditturnsoutthatevenifyouare a maximiser, ifyoufindtheperfectperson, thefactthatyou're a maximiserandyou'reapproachingthiswith a maximisingkindofpointofviewmeansyou'regonnabelesshappyinthatrelationshipthansomeonewhois a satisficer.
Andsogiventhattherearenorealobjectivecriteriaaboutwhatmakes a perfectromanticpartneror a perfectspouseor a perfectlifepartner, whatever, giventhatwedon't haveanyobjectivecriterialikethat, theonlythingthatmattersishowwefeelaboutthedecision.
Andthere's a nicequotefrom a guycalledBarrySchwartzwhowrotethebookaboutparadoxofchoice, wherehewrites, maximisersmakegooddecisionsandendupfeelingbadaboutthem.
Andthenextthingistoactuallyfigureoutwhatsortofpersonwe'relookingfor, whichbringsusontotipnumberthree, but I have a meetingtogoto, so I willberightback.
そして次にすべきことは、私たちがどんな人材を探しているのかを実際に把握することだ。
Allright, andwe'reback.
よし、戻ってきた。
Background's changed a littlebit, butlet's moveonnowtotipnumberthree, which I reallyhopethatworked.
Whereasifwe'reinterestedinfinding a long-termlove, whichissortofthevibeofthebookratherthan a short-termflingtypelove, thenthekindoftraitsthatweneedtobelookingforareverydifferent.
Andthere's thisbookcalledTheScienceofHappilyEverAfterbyTaiTashiro, I think.
田代太の『幸せの科学』って本があったかな。
Andinthatbook, theytalkaboutthetwomostimportanttraitsthatmatterscientificallywhenchoosing a person, andthat's thattheybeemotionallystableandthattheyarekindofkindandcompassionate.
その本の中で、人を選ぶ際に科学的に重要な2つの特徴について述べられている。
Apparently, theseareimportantthingsandkeytolong-termsuccessin a relationship, whichisinterestingforme.
どうやら、これらは重要なことであり、交際の長期的な成功の鍵であるようだ。
Thesecond, weideallywannafindsomeonewith a growthmindset.
もうひとつは、成長マインドを持った選手を見つけることだ。
Growthmindsetrelativetothefixedmindset.
固定的マインドセットに対する成長マインドセット。
I'vedone a videoaboutthebookMindsetbyCarolDweck, I believe, overtheresomewhere.
キャロル・ドウェックの『マインドセット』という本については、確かどこかでビデオを撮ったことがある。
Anyway, someonewith a growthmindset.
とにかく、グロース・マインドセットを持つ人だ。
