The pursuit of happiness is enshrined in the founding document of our nation as a fundamental and inalienable right. Yet nowhere is the method of this pursuit clearly defined. What, exactly, does it mean to be happy, and how can such happiness be sustained over the long term? Can happiness be accurately gauged or measured? How does the paradoxical relationship between happiness and pleasure shape our quest to lead the good life? And what does modern science have to tell us about this universal yet elusive pursuit? Steve Paulson, executive producer and host of To the Best of Our Knowledge, moderated a discussion that included attorney and author Kim Azzarelli, historian Darrin McMahon, and social psychologist Barry Schwartz, who joined forces to share their research and insight on happiness, pleasure, and the coveted good life.
追求幸福是我们国家建国文件中规定的一项基本不可剥夺的权利。然而，追求幸福的方法并没有明确界定。到底什么是幸福，如何才能长期保持这种幸福？幸福可以准确衡量或测量吗？幸福和快乐之间的矛盾关系如何塑造我们追求美好生活的目标？现代科学对此普遍而又难以捉摸的追求有什么说法？《知识最前沿》的执行制片人兼主持人史蒂夫·保尔森主持了一场讨论，参与者包括律师兼作家金·阿扎雷利、历史学家达林·麦克马洪和社会心理学家巴里·施瓦茨，他们共同分享了他们在幸福、快乐和令人向往的美好生活方面的研究和见解。
