[Mystery of deep psychology] "The third happiness" is different from the pleasure happiness and meaningful happiness that the corona has noticed.

　I completely forgot to eat a lot of garlic last night.You may be a little lacking in etiquette now.Unfortunately, the pocket mint tablet is out.I'm thinking of buying it at a nearby convenience store ...

What is the easier Corona?

　Although it is a Corona evil that has not yet been predicted, there is no doubt that the disaster has had a major impact on our social life.The fact that a few workplaces and schools have become "remote" may have been a fundamental experience of changing people's views.It can be said that it is a rare human history level comparable during the war, such as having a situation where you do not have to go to a company or school.

　Get off the Yamanote Line at Takadanobaba on the way home from a certain place in Shinjuku -ku, and walk on Waseda Street in the afternoon.The cold days still continue, but the sunny sky is pouring down a lot, and the mood is clear.I have to move again in the future, but I have time to have a late lunch somewhere.

　When I look at the restaurant on the street and think about what to do, I recall that I ate a lot of garlic last night.In addition to the steak with garlic butter sauce, he spoke many garlic stir -fried grains.

　I didn't have any breath care this morning, but maybe I have a lot of garlic smell from now.It's hard to notice yourself.

　Unfortunately, the case of the mint tablet that is always in the jacket is empty.Of course, I knew that it was empty, but I was overwhelmed by the timing.

　it's no use.Let's buy it at a convenience store somewhere.You can see a convenience store on the street.I will go quickly.

　...... I loosened my steps.I realize that I don't have to go to buy anything in a hurry.I'm wearing a mask now.And the person who will face today must be wearing a mask.Unless it has a very intense garlic odor, it doesn't seem to have to be a nerbus so much.

　When I noticed that, I lost my intention to enter a convenience store.She passes in front of the convenience store and goes on the street.I decided to turn to a one -way alley that extends to the left hand, which has been seen a little.There are quite a few restaurants in this area.You may want to enter somewhere in the neighborhood.

　As a person who lives in a social life, he must be careful not to give discomfort to others.However, if you say the "fortunate of the misfortune" of the corona, it may be bad, but one of the things that has become easier in my life is that it is assumed that masking is assumed to be wearing a mask.It is said that the body odor has not been concerned about severe as before.It seems that the mask has generally being insensitive to the smell.

　And, of course, some people don't have to commute or go to school, and it seems that few people are actually physically and mood -friendly.In the sense that the unnecessary stress has been visualized, all of the corona evil is not all bad.

What is the "third happiness" to enjoy psychological richness?

　There are various things on the street, such as Indian and Asian restaurants, ramen shops, and popular tonkatsu shops, but none of them have appealed to their current stomach.I want to go a little further.

　It is called "remote" of work and academic work, a mask, and in fact, we may be experiencing changes in human history -level society as seen during the war.Aside from that, the experience of changing the perspective and worldview of the past will be really fresh and interesting.

　Recent research has suggested that the experience of changing the perspective of things is leading to "psychological richness."This "psychological richness" brings a different happiness to life from pleasure and meaningful happiness.

　Psychology usually conceptifies a good life from the viewpoint of pleasure or meaningful happiness.

　We suggest that psychological richness is one aspect that people considered a good life but have been ignored.Unlike a happy and meaningful life, psychological rich life is the most commonly characterized by the experience of changing interest in various things and changing perspectives.

　Furthermore, those who live a psychological rich life are more curious and more curious for those who live a psychological rich life, which is different from the forecast factors of happy life and meaningful life.I think and report evidence that suggests that it tends to be more political liberals.

* Quoted from "APA PSYCNET"

　According to a study by the Joint Research Team of the University of Virginia and the University of Florida in August 2021 at "Psychology Review", "good life" is not necessarily happy or meaningful through surveys.It reports that richness is an important factor.This "psychological richness" is also fostered by experiencing dramatic changes in the world view and life view.

　In past psychology, two indicators that measure the happiness of life include two hires: Hednic Happy and meaningful and meaningful happiness (Eudamonic Well-Being).。However, this time, the research team proposed a new concept of "psychological richness" as a different indicator.Unlike pleasure and meaningful happiness, "psychological richness" is most associated with "various interests" and "experiences with different perspectives."

　The research team was determined in three surveys on 1336 university students, finding out "psychological richness" as different from pleasure happiness and meaningful happiness.In other words, "third happiness" has been conceptualized.

Fostering "psychological richness" includes experiences that dramatically change the world view and view of life, interest in various things, and sometimes the moment when discomfort and disgust are tolered.It is said.

　Of course, the conventional pleasure happiness and meaningful happiness are also strongly related to the satisfaction of life, but people who are never have "psychological richness" rather than pleasure happiness and meaningful happiness.It was also highlighted that he was choosing.According to a survey, 16.8 % of Germans, 16.1 % of Indians, 15.8 % of Koreans, and 15.5 % of Japanese gave priority to "psychological richness" over pleasure happiness and meaningful happiness.There is.

　It not only tastes pleasure and experience the meaning of the meaning, but also enhances the satisfaction of life, but as it is as good as it is as good as it is a new perspective that changes the way of thinking and the stereotype so far.You will feel happy.In that sense, the irony of the corona that provides "new perspectives" one after another may be a good opportunity to realize the "third happiness" of "psychological richness".do not have.

Get a "new perspective" with the "wood tap rice" of Hunan cuisine

　As you follow the street, you will reach the bridge across the Kanda River.After crossing the bridge, the appearance of a residential area becomes darker.I decided to turn left without crossing the bridge and follow the road along the river.There are quite a lot of restaurants here.I feel like I want to eat something unusual anyway, because it's an area that doesn't usually come very much.

　Surprisingly we are looking for a "new perspective" that can change the world view and life view, but what is the reason?According to the research team, the desire to recover from past mistakes and regrets can be seen.

　About one -third of those who select "psychological richness" rather than pleasure happiness and meaningful happiness, the desire to cancel the greatest regrets of life in the past is "psychological richness".He said he was looking for.In other words, it is expected that gaining a "new perspective" will look at past mistakes from another angle and eventually cancel regrets.

　The bitter experiences of being reprimanded after being late or absent may be able to laugh and flush in the water in the world where you do not have to go to school or company.The past also "rewrites" by "new perspective".

　As you walk along the river, you can see a very stylish shop with a glass -pasted wall and a red door.I thought it was a store like a cafe, but when I looked at the menu posted in front of the store, I found that it was a Chinese restaurant.The signboard placed in front of the door is "Authentic Hunan cuisine".It seems that you can eat something unusual.Let's enter.

　It's a larger store than I thought.There are several tables for four people, and it is a layout closer to a family restaurant than a Chinese restaurant.About 70 % of the seats are buried.I will be guided by the shop people and wear a table for four people.

　Immediately after I got to my seat, I found only Chinese people, including the clerk.By all means, the only Japanese are myself.But here is Japan.There is also a Japanese notation on the table of the lunch menu on the table.There is no anxiety at all.

　We will examine the set meal menu for lunch, which are listed on 15 kinds.There are also familiar set meals such as Mapo tofu and tuna meat, but I am worried about the word "wooden rice" in several menus.Does that mean that rice in a wooden tub comes out?I was hoping and fulfilling because I wanted to eat something unusual.Order "Pork and fried eggs".You can see "wooden tubs" on the table of nearby customers.It looks like a popular menu.

　In the case of Hunan cuisine shops, it was also a Takadanobaba, but from here, I entered another store a little far away, but there should have been no "wooden rice" in that store.It's not an exaggeration, it's the first menu in my life.Can you get a "new perspective"?

　The food has arrived.Certainly it is a "wooden tub".However, the inside of the wooden tub was a stainless steel pot, not like a Japanese "honey".

　Mix a little pork and rice with a spoon and then try it.It is delicious and delicious for rice with rich flavor.It contains a lot of pork entangled with sweet and spicy sauce and garlic as it is.Following last night, I will continue to meet garlic today.

　It didn't seem like a dish to eat slowly.Eat more and more with a spoon, and chew garlic grains in your mouth.There is no doubt that the first food experience has gained a "new perspective" in Chinese cuisine.It will be an experience that can only be obtained by the so -called "Gachi Chinese" that Chinese chefs are making for Chinese in Japan.

　There is a feeling that a large amount of garlic, which continues last night, has become nonsense, such as breath care, but there is still a job to meet people in the future.After eating, let's stop at a convenience store.
