推荐序
—— 广告导演 Kurt卢建彰
选择做广告,是因为我不想每天上班。没想到,搞错了,是没有下班。
刚进这行时,我发现一切都很难,你得把自己放到台子上,给一堆准备砍你头的人看,那是非常恐怖的事,尤其当你是个菜鸟,菜得根本什么都不懂,而且还不是广告科系的,什么都不懂,最可怕的是,广告会议都是总经理、董事长和总裁会来开的,大概那差距就是你刚开始学投篮却要跟姚明打篮球,怎么不发抖?
我怎么办?难道不提案吗?
后来有个前辈鼓励我:「你在这主题上花了扎实的两个礼拜思考,你就是这主题的专家,那些董事长进会议室后还要问这是要开哪个会,不要怕!」
于是,我就这样告诉自己,就算我不是广告创意大师,但我是广告专业人士。于是,我做出我的第一个广告,也是周杰伦的第一个广告。
之后,当我是文案,就要做得像资深文案;当我是资深文案,就要做得像文案指导;当我是文案指导,就想我要做得像副创意总监;当我是副创意总监,就要做得像创意总监。
这是我师父教我的思考,以拳击手而言,就是,蝇量级挑战羽量级,羽量级挑战轻量级,轻量级挑战重量级,这叫做越级挑战。
我当创意总监的时候,同时也拍片,也教书。
我当导演的时候,嗯,你知道的,我什么都乱做,因为我搞不清楚什么能做(嗯,严格说来,是什么不能做)。
你假装你是下个层级的,好处是你不会鼻青脸肿,因为你不会真的挨打,你只是调整你的思考速度和创意的视野,你没有会伤害你的对手,你就算打输了也没人知道,因为从你这个量级的人的角度看,你出拳快得吓人。
你创造的作品就算上不了下个等级,也会变成是这个等级的上上之品,那还有什么好怕的呢?
你什么都不必多做,
你只是让你的能力因为上的擂台而被激发出来。
我没想到,就这样过了十六年,我就这样假装,骗自己,骗吃骗喝了那么长一段时间。
我也没想到,原以为是我师父的独门绝招,结果,竟然有人专门研究,而且是如此专精细腻的研究,从心理学,从非语言行为科学,从她自己的车祸脑伤,是的,她的悲剧,竟成为我们的祝福,甚至影响了一个半台湾的人口数。
天啊,都讲成这样了,你还不看,那我觉得你才是最贬抑你自己的人。
那就算了,我要去假装我很会了,掰掰。
前言
我喜欢坐在波士顿书店的咖啡区吧台,开着笔记型电脑写稿。十分钟前我点了咖啡和马芬蛋糕。服务生是一位笑容满面、戴着眼镜的黑发女孩。她停顿了一下,然后悄悄地对我说:「我只是想跟妳说,妳的TED演讲对我来说意义重大,让我大受激励。几年前,我有一门课的教授分享了那段影片。我目前正在申请医学院,我想跟妳说,参加医学院入学测验之前,我站在浴室里假装自己是神力女超人,那招果真有效。虽然妳不认识我,却帮我找出自己人生真正想做的事,那就是念医学院。而妳帮了我,谢谢妳。」
我不禁热泪盈眶,问她:「妳叫什么名字?」
「费塔茵。」然后我们又聊了大约十分钟,聊到费塔茵过去的困境,以及她对未来刚萌生的振奋之情。
每个上前找我的人都很独特、很令人难忘,不过这类互动发生得比我想像更频繁:陌生人亲切地跟我打招呼,告诉我他们已经成功克服某个挑战,然后感谢我帮助他们。这些人有男有女,有老有少、有内向害羞、也有外向合群,有穷人、也有富人。而他们的共通之处是——他们都在面对强大压力与焦虑时感到无助,而他们也都找到了一个异常简单的方法,把自己从无助中解放,至少在事发当下是如此。
大多数作家的经验是书先出版,然后才收到读者回应,而我的经验却是反过来。我先是做了一系列的实验,促成我到二○一二年TED全球会议上演讲。在演讲中,我探讨了一系列耐人寻味的研究发现,主题是「我们的身体如何影响我们的大脑与行为」。(我就是在那里描述了费塔茵所提,浴室里的神力女超人,在后文我会做解释;那动作可以在我们面对挑战情境时,快速增进我们的自信,降低我们的焦虑。)我也分享了我如何跟自己的「冒牌者症候群」(impostor syndrome)奋战,以及我怎么「骗过自己」,让自己感到很有自信,最后转变成真的有自信。我称这种现象为「假装到你真的变成那样」(顺便一提,在演讲时,我谈到自己的挣扎,那部分完全不在计划之内;稿子里没这段,因为我并不认为自己胆敢在几百个我不认识的听众面前,透露这么私人的事⋯⋯)虽然我对这主题深有同感,但我并不知道它是否能引起大家的回响。没想到那段二十一分钟的影片上线后,我就开始陆续听到很多人说自己已经看过了。
当然听我的演说,不会神奇地赋予费塔茵考好医学院入学测验所需要的知识。她并没有因此更深入理解平滑型菌株与粗糙型菌株的不同特征,或者了解能量定理与动能变化的关联是怎么运作的。不过,这演说也许释放了恐惧,无碍她展现所学。因为无权力感(powerlessness)会吞噬我们,以及我们所相信、理解与感受到的所有事。它会掩盖了我们的本质,让我们隐形,甚至让我们跟自己疏离。
无权力感的相反,必定是「拥有权力」,是吗?某种程度来说是的,不过事情没那么简单。我多年来所做的研究(现在隶属于一个庞大的研究领域)专门探索一种我称为「展现最佳状态」(presence)的特质。展现最佳状态是从相信、信任自己而来的——包含你真切、诚实的感受,你的价值与能力。这很重要,因为如果连你都不相信自己,要别人怎么信任你?不管是在两个人或五千人面前演说、面谈一份工作、争取加薪、或者向潜在投资者提案某项商业计划、为自己发言、或替别人说话,我们都会面临令人胆怯的片刻,那种时候若想自我感觉良好或为自己人生做出进展,就必须保持镇定。展现最佳状态赋予我们力量,挺身面对这些时刻。
医生判我脑部受损,最后仍名校毕业,怎么办到?
我印象最深的是朋友在白板上为我留下的卡通图画与爱心留言。那时我大二,在医院病房醒来,望了四周一圈,全是卡片和花。我全身无力,同时却又焦急又激动。我几乎睁不开眼,这种状况从来没发生过。我不知发生什么事,但还没力气搞清楚就睡着了。
这状况一直重复。
至于在医院醒来之前的事,我记得清楚的只有我跟两位好友以及室友一起,要从蒙大拿州(Montana)的密苏拉(Missoula)回到科罗拉多州(Colorado)的波德(Boulder)。我们到密苏拉是去协助蒙大拿大学的学生筹办研讨会,并拜访朋友。我们在周日傍晚大约六点时,从密苏拉离开,我们想要赶回波德上早晨的课。现在回想起来,特别是以为人父母的身分,可以看出这举动有多么愚蠢,因为密苏拉到波德开车要十三到十四小时;不过当时我们才十九岁。
我们有个自认为绝佳的计划:每个人轮流开三分之一的路程;有个人要撑住,负责让驾驶保持清醒与警觉,而另一个人则可在越野休旅车后座,摊平座椅,裹着睡袋休息。我开过一轮,我想是第一个班次,然后保持清醒,监督驾驶。那真是一段轻柔的记忆,非常平静。我爱身旁这些人,也爱西部的壮阔,还有渺无人烟的旷野。高速公路上不开前照灯也没关系,路上只有我们,然后就换我到后座睡觉。
接下来发生的这些事,是我事后才知道。我的朋友在最糟的那个时段开车,深夜里你会感到,自己可能是世上唯一清醒的人的那种时刻。不只是在深夜,而且是身处在怀俄明州(Wyoming)1深处的深夜。很黑,很广,很孤寂。几乎没有什么能让你保持清醒。大约清晨四点时,我的朋友开车冲出了路面,一撞上路肩崎岖的减速标线,她回转过大,以至于车子翻转了好几圈,最后四轮朝天停住。前座两位朋友系了安全带,摊平在后座正在睡觉的我,被弹出车外摔进黑夜中,我头部右上方着地,跌撞在高速公路上,身体其他部位还在睡袋中。
我脑部遭受严重创伤。更具体地说,是一种「弥漫性轴索损伤」(diffuse axonal injury,
DAI),DAI指的是,大脑遭「剪力」所伤,通常是严重的旋转所致,而车祸很常会产生这种旋转。想像高速行驶的车发生冲撞会有的情况:在冲击之下,速度瞬间骤变,你的身体突然静止,而大脑却还在移动,有时是在头颅内不寻常地转动,甚至在头颅内撞来撞去。我头部撞上高速公路的力道弄断了头骨。
大脑本应待在安全的地方,外有头骨保护,还有几层薄膜(称为「脑膜」)与脑脊液做为软垫。大脑与头骨虽是好伙伴,但却不应该如此亲密接触。脑部重创的剪力,损坏并拉扯整个脑部的神经与其纤维(称为「轴突」)。就像电线一样,轴突表面有一层防护涂层做绝缘(或说缓冲)称为「髓鞘」。即便轴突没有受创,光是损及髓鞘也会让神经间的讯息传导速度陡降。
DAI是指脑部整体受创,这和单点式的脑部伤害(比如枪伤),只有特定部位遭受损伤是不同的。大脑的运作全仰赖神经的传输;当整个脑部神经受损,传输不免也会受到破坏。所以当你受的伤属于DAI,没有医生会告诉你:「是这样的,损伤在运动部位,所以你行动会比较困难。」或者:「损伤在语言区,你想要说话或说话过程会受阻。」他们不会告诉你,你能否康复、能康复到什么程度、或者大脑哪个功能会受影响:你的记忆力会丧失?还是你的情绪?你的空间概念?你细微的运动技能?由于我们对DAI了解还不多,医生能提供精确预后的可能性也很渺茫。
遭受DAI之后,你会完全变成另一个人,很多方面都如此。你怎么思考、你的感受、你的表达方式、回应、互动——所有面向都会受到影响。除此之外,你对自己的理解能力可能也受到威胁,因此你处于一种并不清楚自己究竟改变多大的状态中。而且没有人,没有任何人,可以告诉你,接下来会怎样。
现在我来解释一下,就我当时所能理解,我的大脑究竟发生了什么事(请搭配蟋蟀鸣音效声):
我当时在医院,已经从大学休学,医生对于我的认知协调是否能恢复到可重返校园,抱持强烈怀疑。根据我受伤的严重程度以及类似损伤者的统计,他们说:「别期望能念完大学。妳会没事的,大脑『能有效运作』,不过妳该考虑去做别的事。」我得知自己的智商下滑了三十分,低了两个标准差。我会知道这个,不是因为医生告诉我。我知道是因为他们为我做了为期两天的一系列神经心理测验,而智商是其中一项,我收到的那份长长的报告当中包含了这个结果;医生并不认为跟我解释这个有什么重要,或者他们觉得我没有聪明到能理解?我不想把智商看得太重,我不是说它具有预测人生成就的能力。不过,那是当时我认为能够量化了我才能的指标。所以就我的理解,根据医生的说法,我已经不再是聪明人,而我感觉这说法完全没错。
我接受了职能治疗、认知治疗、语言治疗、物理治疗、心理咨商。大约在意外发生的六个月之后,我在家度过了夏天,几位很明显疏离了的密友告诉我:「妳跟以前就是不一样了。」何以两位似乎最了解我的朋友都说我已经不是原来的我?怎样不同?她们看不见真正的我,连我都看不见自己。
脑部创伤让人感觉迷惑、焦躁,而且挫败。当医生告诉妳,他们也不知道妳未来会怎样,朋友都说妳变了,肯定又放大了那些迷惑、焦躁与挫败感。
接下来的一年,我都身在迷雾中——焦虑不安,失去方向,做些烂决定,不知道下一步要做什么。在那之后,我回到学校。但我太快回去了,我无法思考,无法适切地理解别人说的事。那就像听人说话时,对方一半用我听得懂的语言,一半是我不懂的语言说话一样。那只让我更挫折、更焦虑。我必须休学,因为我的课业都不及格。
在这场车祸中,虽然我断了些骨头,多了些丑伤疤,不过身体看起来完整无缺。而因为脑部通常别人看不见,大家会说一些话像是:
「哇,妳好幸运!妳很可能会没命呢!」
「幸运?」我心想。然后又对自己因他们好意的说法而受挫,感到又罪恶又羞愧。
我们的思考方式、智力、个人特质,这些都是我们认为不会改变的事,我们觉得理当如此。我们害怕车祸会导致我们瘫痪,改变我们的行动能力,或者使我们失聪或失明,但我们没想过车祸会让我们失去自我。
头部受伤后好几年,我都在努力超越先前的自己,虽然我不太知道先前的我是什么模样。我觉得自己是个冒牌货,一个藏在我自己身体里的冒牌货。我要重新学着怎么学习。我一直设法重回学校,因为我不能接受别人告诉我说我做不到。
我必须努力用功赶上别人,缓慢地跟上。最后我的心理状态慢慢恢复清明,这让我无可言喻地松了口气。我比车祸之前那些同班同学晚了四年毕业。
而让我坚持下去的原因之一是我发现了自己喜欢的科目——心理学。大学毕业后,我顺利进入一个需要脑部功能正常运作的专业。如同法国小说家阿纳托尔·法朗士(Anatole France)所写的:「所有改变⋯⋯都有令人感伤之处;因为我们所抛下的是自己的一部分;我们必须结束一个人生,才会进入另一个人生。」这一路以来,不意外地,我变成一个十分关切「人的存在状态」与「力量」、「自信」与「怀疑」这些问题的人。
我受的伤,引领我去研究「展现最佳状态」的科学,不过我的TED演讲却让我体会到,那是多么普世的渴求。因为大多数人每天都在面对挑战。在世界各个角落,过着各种不同生活的人,都在努力鼓起勇气在课堂上发言、面试工作、为争取一个角色试镜、与日常的艰困奋战、为自己相信的真理挺身而出、或者只想心安理得做自己。不论是无家可归的人,或者在传统标准里极其成功之士都如此。财星五百大企业高阶主管、打赢官司的律师、才华洋溢的艺术家或表演工作者、霸凌、歧视及性骚扰受害人、政治难民、与心理疾病奋战的人或遭受重大创伤的人,全都是一样的;所有人都面对这种挑战。还有所有努力从旁协助的人也需面临挑战,不管是父母、配偶、孩子、咨商师、医生、同事、以及他们的朋友。
这些人(绝大多数都不是科学家)迫使我用新的眼光看待自己的研究:他们把我带离科学,同时又带进科学中。聆听他们的故事,我感到自己有责任去思索社会科学的研究成果,实际上能怎么在真实世界里运作。我开始专注去做能正面影响人生的研究。不过我也开始遭遇一些,如果留在实验室或沉浸在学术中,不会碰到的问题。
一开始我对TED演讲的回应不知所措,而且觉得公开自己的研究与私事真是大错特错。我没料到会有这么多陌生人看到它,没想到自己会感到如此脆弱与暴露。任何在网路崛起并瞬间家喻户晓的人,都有过这种感觉。在公开场合会开始有人认出妳来,那需要一些自我调整来适应;无论是陌生人请我站成「神力女超人」的姿势跟她们一起自拍,或者听到有人从人力三轮车上(在奥斯汀市发生过)喊道:「嘿!是那TED演讲的女生耶!」
不过多数时候我感到无比幸运,庆幸自己有机会跟这么多人分享这项研究以及我的故事。更幸运的是有这么多人跟我分享他们的故事。我热爱学术研究,但我在实验室与课堂之外,找到更多启发。在哈佛商学院最棒的事情就是我受到鼓励,去跨越研究人员与实务工作者之间的界线。因此我开始跟实体组织中的人讨论,研究要怎么做,怎样行得通,怎样会窒碍难行,诸如此类的事。不过我却没想到,在那段TED演说上线之后,世上会有无数恳切的陌生人对我敞开心房。
我喜爱这些人,感觉自己始终与他们紧紧相系,也需要忠于他们。我想要表彰他们,赞扬他们努力尝试的那种意志,像是不断重回马背挺身上阵,或者帮助他人继续奋战,以及他们愿意写下他们的挣扎,用电子邮件寄给一个陌生人的那种意志。有人是在机场、书店的咖啡区,直接向我娓娓道来。现在我了解,一场演讲可以如何像首歌一样运作:人们将它个人化,与它连结,因为知道有人跟他感受一样而觉得安心。戴夫.格罗尔(Dave Grohl)2曾经说过:「关于音乐最棒的事就是,你可以对着八万五千人唱一首歌,他们会因为八万五千个不同的理由与你唱和。」我在一个青少年流浪之家演说时,曾请居留者举出他们觉得最难受的状况。一位青少年说:「来到这个庇护所门口的时候。」在另一个流浪之家,一位女士说:「打电话寻求服务、协助或支援的时候。我知道我会等很久,而电话那一头的人可能会不耐烦或对我有偏见。」关于这点,同一个庇护所的另一位女士说:「我以前在电话服务中心工作,而我必须说:『接你认识的人的电话会很令人沮丧又气恼,特别是我要应付无数来电,而对方已经等很久时。』」
数千人写信给我,告诉我他们遇见的各种不同的困难——样貌繁多到令人难以置信,很多内容是我从没想过我的研究会适用之处。电子邮件的主旨通常都是这样开头:「妳的演讲帮助了⋯⋯」后面接的是:阿兹海默病患的家属、消防员、一个同样是脑部创伤的人、我拿下这辈子最大的案子、购屋的斡旋、大学入学面谈、身心障碍人士、丧失荣誉感的二战老兵、从创伤中回复、角逐世界帆船锦标赛冠军、被霸凌的孩童、从事服务业的自信心、害怕数学的五年级学生、我自闭症的儿子、参加严峻试演的专业歌剧演唱家、对老板提出新的方案、找到发言的勇气;而这些还只是所有来信的一小部分而已。
从TED演说而来的所有回响都是礼物,帮助我更了解这个研究为何及如何引发共鸣。简单来说,这些故事让我明白要怎么写这本书,而且也激励我这么做。它们来自世界各地,来自社会各阶层的人,而我会在本书分享其中许多故事。或许在这些故事当中,你会找到许多属于你的共鸣点。
1 怀俄明州位于美国西部,是人口最稀少的一州。

23. 当你知道你最喜欢的名人是个混蛋时,多令人失望!特别是当那个名人是你本来视为有深度、有敏感度又睿智,某个创作了对你意义非凡事物的人,比如一首歌、一本书或电影里的一个角色。因为那些作品对你有重大意义,所以你希望那个人也对你意义非凡;因此如果得知他或她是个混蛋的话,会让一切都毁了。现在,想像相反的情况。你最喜爱的名人远比你用常理想像的更有深度、更有敏感度、更睿智,而且她很好相处(十分地契合、不着痕迹),就像你们是夏令营中认识一年的好友,你了解所有访谈过她的人应该都有同样感受。茱莉安.摩尔(Julianne Moore)就是这样的一个人。

16. 心理学家已经发现,冒牌者症与诸多人格特质有关联,包括完美主义、表演焦虑(Thompson, T., Foreman, P., Martin, F. [2000]. Impostor fears and perfectionistic concern over mistakes.Personality and Individual Differences, 29,629-647)、自我接纳度以及对环境掌控度低落(September, A. N., McCarrey, M., Baranowsky, A., Parent, C., Schindler, D. [2001]。The relation between well-being, impostor feelings, and gender role orientation among Canadian university students.The Journal of Social Psychology, 141,218-232),高度神经过敏,以及低度自觉意识(Bernard et al., Applying the big five personality factors to the impostor phenomenon),低自尊,(Cozzarelli, C., Major, B. [1990]. Exploring the validity of the impostor phenomenon.Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, 9,401-417), 还有内向性格(Lawler, N. K. [1985].

J. [1989]. The impostor phenomenon revisited: A validity study of Clance’s IP Scale. Unpublished master’s thesis, Georgia State University, Atlanta). 冒牌者正肯定与某种特质的模式有关联;然而,在大多数案例中,还不清楚这些特质跟冒牌者是怎样的因果关系——也就是说,不知是这些特质导致了冒牌者症,或是冒牌者正引发了这些特质。似乎两者互相增强,使问题恶化。冒牌者症可说是一种情境下的产物,更胜于人格特质的产物(McElwee, R., Yurak, T.

4. 这个理论,由E. Tori Higgins所发展出的调节定向理论(regulatory focus theory),是现代心理学最具影响力的理论之一。如果你探询相关文献,可找到成千上万资料,你可以考虑从这里开始着手:Brockner, J., Higgins, E. T. (2001). Regulatory focus theory: Implications for the study ofemotions at work.Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, 86,35-66.如同作者所解释:先前的理论与研究已经显示,人们有两种突出的自我调节方向,当朝着「促进」定向(promotion focus)时,人们受到成长与发展需求的激励,他们会试图表现出真实的自我(他们的行为与自我概念),以便吻合他们的理想自我(基于愿望与渴望自己成为怎样的人所形成的自我标准)。当朝着「预防」定向(prevention focus)时,人们会产生安全需求,他们会让真实自我吻合应有的自我(基于义务与责任所形成的自我标准)。策略上来说,促进定向的人,会先确保「获得」,而预防定向的人,会保持警戒或确保「不损失」。人们的调节定向对他们的情绪体验影响甚巨,促进定向者的情绪变化,是一种从开心到沮丧的面相,而预防定向者的情绪,则是从静止到激动的面向。

What you see may not be what you get: Relationships among self-presentation tactics and ratings of interview and job performance.Journal of Applied Psychology, 94,1394-1411. Examination of various impression management (IM) tactics hasrevealed significant effects for some verbal tactics(e.g.,the use of positive self-descriptive terms and the telling of personal success stories) but not for nonverbal tactics (e.g., frequent eye contact and smiling; see Gilmore, D. C., Ferris,G.R.[1989].The effects of applicant impression management tacticson interviewer judgments.Journal of Management, 15,557-564; Stevens, C. K., Kristof, A. L. [1995]. Making the right impression: A field study of applicant impression management during job interviews.Journal of Applied Psychology, 80,587-606). However, these effects are attenuated or disappear as interviews become longer (see Tsai, W. C., Chen, C. C., Chiu, S. F. [2005]. Exploring boundaries of the effects of applicant impression management tacticsin job interviews.Journal of Management,31,108-125),are more structured or standardized (see Barrick, M. R., Shaffer, J. A., DeGrassi, S. W. [2009]. What you see may not be what you get: Relationships among self-presentation tactics and ratings of interview and job performance.Journal of Applied Psychology, 94,1394-1411), and involve more highly trained interviewers (see Howard, J. L., Ferris, G. R. [1996]. The employment interview context: Social and situational influences on interviewer decisions.Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 26,112-136). Many other variables moderate the extent to which IM tactics lead to positive versus negative hiring decisions, such as the gender of both candidate and interviewer (see Baron, R. A. [1986].Self-presentation in job interviews: When there can be“too much of a good thing.”Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 16,1628;Rudman,L.A.[1998]. Self-promotion as a risk factor for women: The costs and benefits of counter stereo typical impression management.Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 74,629-645; Von Baeyer, C. L., Sherk, D. L., Zanna, M. P. [1981]. Impression management in the job interview when the female applicant meets the male(chauvinist) interviewer.Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 7,45-51), the valence of the interviewer’s affective state (see Baron,R. A.[1987].Interviewer’s moods and reactions to job applicants: The influence of affective states on applied social judgments.Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 17,911-926), and the perceived similarity of the candidate to the interviewer (seeJudge, T. A., Cable, D. M., Higgins, C. A. [2001]. The employment interview: A review of recent research and recommendations for future research.Human Resource Management Review, 10,383-406). And, perhaps most important, as candidates increase their use of nonverbal IM tactics, interviewers begin to perceive them as inauthentic and manipulative, leading to negative evaluations and hiring decisions (see Baron,Self-presentation in job interviews).

1. 我上幼稚园后,我们搬回我父母生长的宾州。我父亲是华盛顿州的公园管理员,我在此所描述的公园是华盛顿州范提吉(Vantage)地区的「州立银杏石化森林公园」(Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park),二○○○年时,范提吉的人口降到七十人,不过石造小屋还伫立在那儿,就在公园正中央。

4. 他们也会看去氢皮质酮(dehydroepiandrosterone;DHEA),以及醛固酮(aldosterone,在调节血压扮演中心角色),不过结果是综合的,有些受试者感受到改变,有的则没有。
5. 即便在最简单的瑜伽规则中,大多数体位都挺复杂的。有许多身体部位的动作,全都要恰当地保持同步平衡。体位必须保持不动一段时间,还要加上呼吸与正念等元素。若要速效,务实来说,瑜伽对大多数人在大多数时候,都不算是最简便的做法。
6. 荷尔蒙水准通常从血液或透过唾液样本来检测。虽说前者提供比较保险的测验,社会心理学家却很少收集血液样本,所以唾液样本是最标准的。为了正确测量针对某刺激唾液中的睾丸酮与皮质醇水准变化,例如:有权力姿势,(一)此研究(因应这些荷尔蒙的日常水准变化)应该在下午进行,样本搜集也是。(二)实验人员应该在受试者抵达实验室后,至少十分钟之后,才搜集第一次的唾液样本,这是为了让荷尔蒙水平回归正常。(三)实验人员应该在进行预设的刺激之后十五~二十分钟之后,才去搜集唾液样本。

33. 在史蒂夫.奥古斯特(Steve August)写给我的另一封电子邮件中,他继续解释:简单来说,事情是这样的:(一)驼背会日积月累。最后上背会弯曲,这样一来,冻结在一种紧缩的姿势中,脊椎四周坚韧的胶质也会缩短、堆积在不动的关节周边,当这些渐渐变硬,没人能自己把这弯曲再伸展开来,必须透过足够的外力才能做到。这是杠杆作用。(二)脖子后面的肌肉,必须加倍力量来能把头撑起,即便只是向前看或看看小萤幕。因此这样紧缩,就会损伤有黏性的纤维,为了修复那紧缩,又再次损伤而变短。(三)脖子前侧的肌肉较少运用且较弱,因此下巴突出。(四)这种驼背、凸下巴的姿势压迫了脖子的每段关节,那么迟早有一些会紧紧锁住,造成脖子酸痛,并发其他疼痛,以及头痛。根据保守估计,现在当你读到这里,使用电脑的六位成年人当中就有一个,有上背部或脖子剧烈疼痛的问题,或者因脖子引发的头痛。那代表,有六千万欧洲人,四千五百万美国人,以及三百三十万澳洲人,有这样的问题。这数据说不定已经过时了。有用的资讯请参考这篇报告:Ren.

44. 如同所有心理学现象,有许多因素放大或抑制了扩张性姿势。最重要的,外在情境大有关系,例如:有项研究指出,当人们被要求想像被警察搜身时,采用扩张性姿势,并不会增加风险忍受度。参与社会性任务,例如:看着照片中的人脸,同时摆出扩张性姿势,似乎增加了效果力道。也许是因为权力总是被认为是一种社会性的结构。另一个需要进一步验证的是,一个人保持姿势的那段时间。因为我在TED演说中讨论了我们第一项研究,在其中,人们做出两种姿势,为时两分钟。「两分钟」带来某种神奇特质,使得这演讲与研究的新闻,在大众文化圈中散播开来。是的,在那个研究中,两分钟可行。不过,有十五个或更多的扩张性姿势研究,受试者维持一个姿势,三十秒到五分钟不等的时间。而在瑜伽课中,大家会进行一系列动作,长达一小时或更久。两分钟并非不得变动的预设值,事实上,维持一个姿势超过一分钟或两分钟(不在瑜伽课时),似乎会开始感觉不舒服而且很尴尬,那让人们太过觉察自我,而且或许会削弱了权力姿势的力道。在一些试行研究中,我们曾以孩童为受试者,他们维持姿势到二十秒就开始感觉尴尬。如果你想阅读更多可能的调整做法,可参考Carney, D.

本文
前言 我用姿势战胜挑战,展现最佳状态
我喜欢坐在波士顿书店的咖啡区吧台,开着笔记型电脑写稿。十分钟前我点了咖啡和马芬蛋糕。服务生是一位笑容满面、戴着眼镜的黑发女孩。她停顿了一下,然后悄悄地对我说:「我只是想跟妳说,妳的TED演讲对我来说意义重大,让我大受激励。几年前,我有一门课的教授分享了那段影片。我目前正在申请医学院,我想跟妳说,参加医学院入学测验之前,我站在浴室里假装自己是神力女超人,那招果真有效。虽然妳不认识我,却帮我找出自己人生真正想做的事,那就是念医学院。而妳帮了我,谢谢妳。」
我不禁热泪盈眶,问她:「妳叫什么名字?」
「费塔茵。」然后我们又聊了大约十分钟,聊到费塔茵过去的困境,以及她对未来刚萌生的振奋之情。
每个上前找我的人都很独特、很令人难忘,不过这类互动发生得比我想像更频繁:陌生人亲切地跟我打招呼,告诉我他们已经成功克服某个挑战,然后感谢我帮助他们。这些人有男有女,有老有少、有内向害羞、也有外向合群,有穷人、也有富人。而他们的共通之处是——他们都在面对强大压力与焦虑时感到无助,而他们也都找到了一个异常简单的方法,把自己从无助中解放,至少在事发当下是如此。
大多数作家的经验是书先出版,然后才收到读者回应,而我的经验却是反过来。我先是做了一系列的实验,促成我到二○一二年TED全球会议上演讲。在演讲中,我探讨了一系列耐人寻味的研究发现,主题是「我们的身体如何影响我们的大脑与行为」。(我就是在那里描述了费塔茵所提,浴室里的神力女超人,在后文我会做解释;那动作可以在我们面对挑战情境时,快速增进我们的自信,降低我们的焦虑。)我也分享了我如何跟自己的「冒牌者症候群」(impostor syndrome)奋战,以及我怎么「骗过自己」,让自己感到很有自信,最后转变成真的有自信。我称这种现象为「假装到你真的变成那样」(顺便一提,在演讲时,我谈到自己的挣扎,那部分完全不在计划之内;稿子里没这段,因为我并不认为自己胆敢在几百个我不认识的听众面前,透露这么私人的事⋯⋯)虽然我对这主题深有同感,但我并不知道它是否能引起大家的回响。没想到那段二十一分钟的影片上线后,我就开始陆续听到很多人说自己已经看过了。
当然听我的演说,不会神奇地赋予费塔茵考好医学院入学测验所需要的知识。她并没有因此更深入理解平滑型菌株与粗糙型菌株的不同特征,或者了解能量定理与动能变化的关联是怎么运作的。不过,这演说也许释放了恐惧,无碍她展现所学。因为无权力感(powerlessness)会吞噬我们,以及我们所相信、理解与感受到的所有事。它会掩盖了我们的本质,让我们隐形,甚至让我们跟自己疏离。
无权力感的相反,必定是「拥有权力」,是吗?某种程度来说是的,不过事情没那么简单。我多年来所做的研究(现在隶属于一个庞大的研究领域)专门探索一种我称为「展现最佳状态」(presence)的特质。展现最佳状态是从相信、信任自己而来的——包含你真切、诚实的感受,你的价值与能力。这很重要,因为如果连你都不相信自己,要别人怎么信任你?不管是在两个人或五千人面前演说、面谈一份工作、争取加薪、或者向潜在投资者提案某项商业计划、为自己发言、或替别人说话,我们都会面临令人胆怯的片刻,那种时候若想自我感觉良好或为自己人生做出进展,就必须保持镇定。展现最佳状态赋予我们力量,挺身面对这些时刻。
医生判我脑部受损,最后仍名校毕业,怎么办到?
我印象最深的是朋友在白板上为我留下的卡通图画与爱心留言。那时我大二,在医院病房醒来,望了四周一圈,全是卡片和花。我全身无力,同时却又焦急又激动。我几乎睁不开眼,这种状况从来没发生过。我不知发生什么事,但还没力气搞清楚就睡着了。
这状况一直重复。
至于在医院醒来之前的事,我记得清楚的只有我跟两位好友以及室友一起,要从蒙大拿州(Montana)的密苏拉(Missoula)回到科罗拉多州(Colorado)的波德(Boulder)。我们到密苏拉是去协助蒙大拿大学的学生筹办研讨会,并拜访朋友。我们在周日傍晚大约六点时,从密苏拉离开,我们想要赶回波德上早晨的课。现在回想起来,特别是以为人父母的身分,可以看出这举动有多么愚蠢,因为密苏拉到波德开车要十三到十四小时;不过当时我们才十九岁。
我们有个自认为绝佳的计划:每个人轮流开三分之一的路程;有个人要撑住,负责让驾驶保持清醒与警觉,而另一个人则可在越野休旅车后座,摊平座椅,裹着睡袋休息。我开过一轮,我想是第一个班次,然后保持清醒,监督驾驶。那真是一段轻柔的记忆,非常平静。我爱身旁这些人,也爱西部的壮阔,还有渺无人烟的旷野。高速公路上不开前照灯也没关系,路上只有我们,然后就换我到后座睡觉。
接下来发生的这些事,是我事后才知道。我的朋友在最糟的那个时段开车,深夜里你会感到,自己可能是世上唯一清醒的人的那种时刻。不只是在深夜,而且是身处在怀俄明州(Wyoming)1深处的深夜。很黑,很广,很孤寂。几乎没有什么能让你保持清醒。大约清晨四点时,我的朋友开车冲出了路面,一撞上路肩崎岖的减速标线,她回转过大,以至于车子翻转了好几圈,最后四轮朝天停住。前座两位朋友系了安全带,摊平在后座正在睡觉的我,被弹出车外摔进黑夜中,我头部右上方着地,跌撞在高速公路上,身体其他部位还在睡袋中。
我脑部遭受严重创伤。更具体地说,是一种「弥漫性轴索损伤」(diffuse axonal injury,
DAI),DAI指的是,大脑遭「剪力」所伤,通常是严重的旋转所致,而车祸很常会产生这种旋转。想像高速行驶的车发生冲撞会有的情况:在冲击之下,速度瞬间骤变,你的身体突然静止,而大脑却还在移动,有时是在头颅内不寻常地转动,甚至在头颅内撞来撞去。我头部撞上高速公路的力道弄断了头骨。
大脑本应待在安全的地方,外有头骨保护,还有几层薄膜(称为「脑膜」)与脑脊液做为软垫。大脑与头骨虽是好伙伴,但却不应该如此亲密接触。脑部重创的剪力,损坏并拉扯整个脑部的神经与其纤维(称为「轴突」)。就像电线一样,轴突表面有一层防护涂层做绝缘(或说缓冲)称为「髓鞘」。即便轴突没有受创,光是损及髓鞘也会让神经间的讯息传导速度陡降。
DAI是指脑部整体受创,这和单点式的脑部伤害(比如枪伤),只有特定部位遭受损伤是不同的。大脑的运作全仰赖神经的传输;当整个脑部神经受损,传输不免也会受到破坏。所以当你受的伤属于DAI,没有医生会告诉你:「是这样的,损伤在运动部位,所以你行动会比较困难。」或者:「损伤在语言区,你想要说话或说话过程会受阻。」他们不会告诉你,你能否康复、能康复到什么程度、或者大脑哪个功能会受影响:你的记忆力会丧失?还是你的情绪?你的空间概念?你细微的运动技能?由于我们对DAI了解还不多,医生能提供精确预后的可能性也很渺茫。
遭受DAI之后,你会完全变成另一个人,很多方面都如此。你怎么思考、你的感受、你的表达方式、回应、互动——所有面向都会受到影响。除此之外,你对自己的理解能力可能也受到威胁,因此你处于一种并不清楚自己究竟改变多大的状态中。而且没有人,没有任何人,可以告诉你,接下来会怎样。
现在我来解释一下,就我当时所能理解,我的大脑究竟发生了什么事(请搭配蟋蟀鸣音效声):
我当时在医院,已经从大学休学,医生对于我的认知协调是否能恢复到可重返校园,抱持强烈怀疑。根据我受伤的严重程度以及类似损伤者的统计,他们说:「别期望能念完大学。妳会没事的,大脑『能有效运作』,不过妳该考虑去做别的事。」我得知自己的智商下滑了三十分,低了两个标准差。我会知道这个,不是因为医生告诉我。我知道是因为他们为我做了为期两天的一系列神经心理测验,而智商是其中一项,我收到的那份长长的报告当中包含了这个结果;医生并不认为跟我解释这个有什么重要,或者他们觉得我没有聪明到能理解?我不想把智商看得太重,我不是说它具有预测人生成就的能力。不过,那是当时我认为能够量化了我才能的指标。所以就我的理解,根据医生的说法,我已经不再是聪明人,而我感觉这说法完全没错。
我接受了职能治疗、认知治疗、语言治疗、物理治疗、心理咨商。大约在意外发生的六个月之后,我在家度过了夏天,几位很明显疏离了的密友告诉我:「妳跟以前就是不一样了。」何以两位似乎最了解我的朋友都说我已经不是原来的我?怎样不同?她们看不见真正的我,连我都看不见自己。
脑部创伤让人感觉迷惑、焦躁,而且挫败。当医生告诉妳,他们也不知道妳未来会怎样,朋友都说妳变了,肯定又放大了那些迷惑、焦躁与挫败感。
接下来的一年,我都身在迷雾中——焦虑不安,失去方向,做些烂决定,不知道下一步要做什么。在那之后,我回到学校。但我太快回去了,我无法思考,无法适切地理解别人说的事。那就像听人说话时,对方一半用我听得懂的语言,一半是我不懂的语言说话一样。那只让我更挫折、更焦虑。我必须休学,因为我的课业都不及格。
在这场车祸中,虽然我断了些骨头,多了些丑伤疤,不过身体看起来完整无缺。而因为脑部通常别人看不见,大家会说一些话像是:
「哇,妳好幸运!妳很可能会没命呢!」
「幸运?」我心想。然后又对自己因他们好意的说法而受挫,感到又罪恶又羞愧。
我们的思考方式、智力、个人特质,这些都是我们认为不会改变的事,我们觉得理当如此。我们害怕车祸会导致我们瘫痪,改变我们的行动能力,或者使我们失聪或失明,但我们没想过车祸会让我们失去自我。
头部受伤后好几年,我都在努力超越先前的自己,虽然我不太知道先前的我是什么模样。我觉得自己是个冒牌货,一个藏在我自己身体里的冒牌货。我要重新学着怎么学习。我一直设法重回学校,因为我不能接受别人告诉我说我做不到。
我必须努力用功赶上别人,缓慢地跟上。最后我的心理状态慢慢恢复清明,这让我无可言喻地松了口气。我比车祸之前那些同班同学晚了四年毕业。
而让我坚持下去的原因之一是我发现了自己喜欢的科目——心理学。大学毕业后,我顺利进入一个需要脑部功能正常运作的专业。如同法国小说家阿纳托尔·法朗士(Anatole France)所写的:「所有改变⋯⋯都有令人感伤之处;因为我们所抛下的是自己的一部分;我们必须结束一个人生,才会进入另一个人生。」这一路以来,不意外地,我变成一个十分关切「人的存在状态」与「力量」、「自信」与「怀疑」这些问题的人。
我受的伤,引领我去研究「展现最佳状态」的科学,不过我的TED演讲却让我体会到,那是多么普世的渴求。因为大多数人每天都在面对挑战。在世界各个角落,过着各种不同生活的人,都在努力鼓起勇气在课堂上发言、面试工作、为争取一个角色试镜、与日常的艰困奋战、为自己相信的真理挺身而出、或者只想心安理得做自己。不论是无家可归的人,或者在传统标准里极其成功之士都如此。财星五百大企业高阶主管、打赢官司的律师、才华洋溢的艺术家或表演工作者、霸凌、歧视及性骚扰受害人、政治难民、与心理疾病奋战的人或遭受重大创伤的人,全都是一样的;所有人都面对这种挑战。还有所有努力从旁协助的人也需面临挑战,不管是父母、配偶、孩子、咨商师、医生、同事、以及他们的朋友。
这些人(绝大多数都不是科学家)迫使我用新的眼光看待自己的研究:他们把我带离科学,同时又带进科学中。聆听他们的故事,我感到自己有责任去思索社会科学的研究成果,实际上能怎么在真实世界里运作。我开始专注去做能正面影响人生的研究。不过我也开始遭遇一些,如果留在实验室或沉浸在学术中,不会碰到的问题。
一开始我对TED演讲的回应不知所措,而且觉得公开自己的研究与私事真是大错特错。我没料到会有这么多陌生人看到它,没想到自己会感到如此脆弱与暴露。任何在网路崛起并瞬间家喻户晓的人,都有过这种感觉。在公开场合会开始有人认出妳来,那需要一些自我调整来适应;无论是陌生人请我站成「神力女超人」的姿势跟她们一起自拍,或者听到有人从人力三轮车上(在奥斯汀市发生过)喊道:「嘿!是那TED演讲的女生耶!」
不过多数时候我感到无比幸运,庆幸自己有机会跟这么多人分享这项研究以及我的故事。更幸运的是有这么多人跟我分享他们的故事。我热爱学术研究,但我在实验室与课堂之外,找到更多启发。在哈佛商学院最棒的事情就是我受到鼓励,去跨越研究人员与实务工作者之间的界线。因此我开始跟实体组织中的人讨论,研究要怎么做,怎样行得通,怎样会窒碍难行,诸如此类的事。不过我却没想到,在那段TED演说上线之后,世上会有无数恳切的陌生人对我敞开心房。
我喜爱这些人,感觉自己始终与他们紧紧相系,也需要忠于他们。我想要表彰他们,赞扬他们努力尝试的那种意志,像是不断重回马背挺身上阵,或者帮助他人继续奋战,以及他们愿意写下他们的挣扎,用电子邮件寄给一个陌生人的那种意志。有人是在机场、书店的咖啡区,直接向我娓娓道来。现在我了解,一场演讲可以如何像首歌一样运作:人们将它个人化,与它连结,因为知道有人跟他感受一样而觉得安心。戴夫.格罗尔(Dave Grohl)2曾经说过:「关于音乐最棒的事就是,你可以对着八万五千人唱一首歌,他们会因为八万五千个不同的理由与你唱和。」我在一个青少年流浪之家演说时,曾请居留者举出他们觉得最难受的状况。一位青少年说:「来到这个庇护所门口的时候。」在另一个流浪之家,一位女士说:「打电话寻求服务、协助或支援的时候。我知道我会等很久,而电话那一头的人可能会不耐烦或对我有偏见。」关于这点,同一个庇护所的另一位女士说:「我以前在电话服务中心工作,而我必须说:『接你认识的人的电话会很令人沮丧又气恼,特别是我要应付无数来电,而对方已经等很久时。』」
数千人写信给我,告诉我他们遇见的各种不同的困难——样貌繁多到令人难以置信,很多内容是我从没想过我的研究会适用之处。电子邮件的主旨通常都是这样开头:「妳的演讲帮助了⋯⋯」后面接的是:阿兹海默病患的家属、消防员、一个同样是脑部创伤的人、我拿下这辈子最大的案子、购屋的斡旋、大学入学面谈、身心障碍人士、丧失荣誉感的二战老兵、从创伤中回复、角逐世界帆船锦标赛冠军、被霸凌的孩童、从事服务业的自信心、害怕数学的五年级学生、我自闭症的儿子、参加严峻试演的专业歌剧演唱家、对老板提出新的方案、找到发言的勇气;而这些还只是所有来信的一小部分而已。
从TED演说而来的所有回响都是礼物,帮助我更了解这个研究为何及如何引发共鸣。简单来说,这些故事让我明白要怎么写这本书,而且也激励我这么做。它们来自世界各地,来自社会各阶层的人,而我会在本书分享其中许多故事。或许在这些故事当中,你会找到许多属于你的共鸣点。
