你真的相信金錢(qián)買(mǎi)不到幸福嗎？我想它可以。從假期到良好的健康狀況，錢(qián)可以讓你負(fù)擔(dān)得起更好的生活，獲得更好的醫(yī)療保健，食物和住房。

，出生于美國(guó)

The saying “money can’t buy happiness” has its origins in 1750 in a proverb written by Rousseau. The proverb goes like this: “Money buys everything, except for morality and citizens.” This basically means that if you are to be pure and whole, then you shouldn’t expect money to fill that hole.
It is true that money makes your life easier and more comfortable and of course, gives you more opportunities and power.
But in reality, rich people are as depressed as other ppl.
Humans adapt and easily get used to stuff so a big villa doesn’t bring them joy if they are stressed out or depressed or sick.
Look at American celebrities more than half suffer from depression and other mental illnesses so even with access to the best specialist they go to rehabs and come back and relapse. Many go through divorces and can’t hold onto healthy relationships. No matter how much you have break ups suck
So of course as a whole, it is more comfortable to have money but with money also comes pressure and stress. Your company or your brand or your image relies on growth. Yes people lost their jobs during the pandemic but also companies struggled so CEOs had a lot of pressure to find solutions.
The point is that money alone doesn’t make you happy. It depends a lot on your environment and support system. If you have a happy family and strong friendships and a toxic-free workplace and of course most important if you are healthy. If not you won’t be happy. If money could help you find love for the rest of you life then why do all the billionaires get divorced ? They can hire the best family therapy councils
Of course, you may get Better care but Steve Job still died too young so all the money did not prevent him from death.
Britney Spears got abused for more than 13 years when not her whole life. Many things look more glamourous on the outside. I doubt you would like to exchange your life with Britney Spears.
So just because you are wealthy doesn’t mean you are happy.

"金錢(qián)買(mǎi)不到幸福 "這句話是起源于1750年盧梭寫(xiě)的一個(gè)諺語(yǔ)。這句諺語(yǔ)是這樣說(shuō)的。"金錢(qián)可以買(mǎi)到一切，除了道德和公民"。這基本上意味著，如果你要成為純潔和完整的人，那么你不應(yīng)該指望金錢(qián)來(lái)填補(bǔ)這個(gè)漏洞。
誠(chéng)然，金錢(qián)使你的生活更容易、更舒適，當(dāng)然也給你更多的機(jī)會(huì)和權(quán)力。
但在現(xiàn)實(shí)中，富人和其他人一樣，都會(huì)感到沮喪。
人類(lèi)適應(yīng)并容易習(xí)慣于一些東西，所以如果他們有壓力或抑郁或生病的時(shí)候，一個(gè)大別墅并不能給他們帶來(lái)快樂(lè)。
看看美國(guó)的名人，超過(guò)一半的人患有抑郁癥和其他精神疾病，所以即使有最好的專(zhuān)家，他們也會(huì)去康復(fù)中心，回來(lái)后又復(fù)發(fā)。許多人經(jīng)歷了離婚，不能堅(jiān)持健康的關(guān)系。不管你有多少錢(qián)，分分合合總是很糟糕。
因此，當(dāng)然整體上，有錢(qián)是更舒服的，但有錢(qián)也帶來(lái)了壓力和緊張。你的公司或你的品牌或你的形象依賴(lài)于增長(zhǎng)。是的，在大流行期間人們失去了工作，但同時(shí)公司也在掙扎，所以CEO們有很大的壓力來(lái)尋找解決方案。
問(wèn)題的關(guān)鍵是，僅靠金錢(qián)并不能使你快樂(lè)。這在很大程度上取決于你的環(huán)境和支持系統(tǒng)。如果你有一個(gè)幸福的家庭和強(qiáng)大的友誼，有一個(gè)純潔的工作場(chǎng)所，當(dāng)然最重要的是你是否健康。如果沒(méi)有，你就不會(huì)幸福。如果錢(qián)可以幫助你找到一生的愛(ài)，那么為什么所有的億萬(wàn)富翁都離婚了？他們可以雇傭最好的家庭治療服務(wù)機(jī)構(gòu)。
當(dāng)然，你可能會(huì)得到更好的照顧，但史蒂夫-喬布還是死得太早，所以所有的錢(qián)都不能阻止他的死亡。
布蘭妮-斯皮爾斯被辱罵了13年多，而這還沒(méi)到頭。許多事情在外面看起來(lái)更有魅力。但我懷疑你是否愿意與小甜甜交換你的生活。
所以，僅僅因?yàn)槟愫芨挥胁⒉灰馕吨愫芸鞓?lè)。

You make some interesting points in your question. I'll address them individually.
Vacations? A great source of fun and pleasure, no doubt leading to momentary happy feelings and wonderful memories.
But what's your state of mind when you're not on vacation?
Momentary happy feelings are great! But they aren't indicative of a happy state of being — AKA true happiness..
Good health? Health is its own topic, completely independent of happiness. There are many with excellent health who aren't happy, and others with chronic disease who are. Many cancer survivors say their bout with cancer was a huge personal growth experience — I've personally heard two people say it was the best thing that ever happened to them, because they learned to value life more.
So let's set health aside as its own virtue, at best only loosely related to happiness.
Better health care, food, and housing? There's a whole lot of stress, anxiety, and frustration associated with substandard levels of these important aspects of life. If that's the condition you find yourself in, more money would seem to be the solution to a happier life. Because more money can ease these emotional burdens — and thus improve your subjective well-being (AKA happiness).
But, according to multiple studies (one referenced HERE), there's a sweet spot around $75K annually (for Americans) — beyond which more money has no bearing whatsoever on happiness levels.
So the question is this — is relieving emotional burdens equivalent to happiness? Or is it just reducing stress, anxiety, and frustration (which we might term unhappiness)?

你的問(wèn)題中提出了一些有趣的觀點(diǎn)。我將逐一討論。
假期？這是樂(lè)趣和快樂(lè)的一大來(lái)源，無(wú)疑會(huì)帶來(lái)一時(shí)的快樂(lè)感受和美好回憶。
但是，當(dāng)你不在度假時(shí)，你的心態(tài)是什么？
一時(shí)的快樂(lè)感受是很好的！但它們并不代表你的心態(tài)。它們并不代表一種快樂(lè)存在的狀態(tài)--也就是真正的快樂(lè)。
良好的健康狀況？健康是另一個(gè)話題，完全獨(dú)立于幸福。有很多健康狀況很好的人并不快樂(lè)，而其他患有慢性疾病的人卻很快樂(lè)。許多癌癥幸存者說(shuō)他們與癌癥的斗爭(zhēng)是一次巨大的個(gè)人成長(zhǎng)經(jīng)歷--我曾親耳聽(tīng)到兩個(gè)人說(shuō)這是發(fā)生在他們身上最好的事情，因?yàn)樗麄儗W(xué)會(huì)了更加珍惜生命。
因此，讓我們把健康放在一邊獨(dú)美，充其量只是與幸福有著松散的關(guān)系。
更好的醫(yī)療保健、食物和住房？在生活中這些重要方面的水平不合格確實(shí)會(huì)讓你產(chǎn)生壓力、焦慮和沮喪。如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己處于這種狀況，那么更多的錢(qián)似乎是解決更幸福生活的方法。因?yàn)楦嗟腻X(qián)可以減輕這些情感負(fù)擔(dān)--從而提高你的主觀幸福感。
但是，根據(jù)多項(xiàng)研究（里面提到的一項(xiàng)研究）表明，在每年收入7.5萬(wàn)美元左右有一個(gè)幸福頂點(diǎn)（對(duì)美國(guó)人來(lái)說(shuō)）--超過(guò)這個(gè)點(diǎn)，更多的錢(qián)對(duì)幸福水平?jīng)]有任何影響。
所以問(wèn)題是這樣的--減輕情感負(fù)擔(dān)等同于幸福嗎？或者它只是減少壓力、焦慮和沮喪（我們可能稱(chēng)之為不幸福）？

We all want to be happy.
When we're not, it's a common tendency to look around and decide what more of this or that (i.e., money, material goods, influence, friends, lovers) we need to fill that gap, then set off in the direction of acquiring more of it.
Simple fix, right? Earn more money, or meet the partner of your dreams, and *poof* — instant happiness forever and ever more!
Wrong.
Everyone's heard variations of the old adage:
Happiness comes from within.
The reason you've heard it so many times: because it's absolute truth.
But you can't change truth.
You can argue with it all you want. You can distract yourself by stubbornly adhering to your idea that more money's all you need to be happier.
But double your income, youre still not happy. You still feel like more money will get you there. Double it again, and you're still chasing more.
You're on a hedonic treadmill, friend. Continually running harder and faster, and going nowhere — at least as far as happiness goes. Sure, you have nicer things, more exotic vacations. But you haven't moved your Happiness Dial one small bit. Because you're still denying truth.

我們都想獲得幸福。
當(dāng)我們不快樂(lè)的時(shí)候，通常的傾向是環(huán)顧四周，認(rèn)為我們需要更多這樣或那樣的東西（即金錢(qián)、物質(zhì)產(chǎn)品、影響力、朋友、愛(ài)人）來(lái)填補(bǔ)這個(gè)差距，然后朝著獲得更多東西的方向出發(fā)。
很簡(jiǎn)單的解決辦法，對(duì)嗎？賺更多的錢(qián)，或遇到你夢(mèng)想中的伴侶，然后*噗*--瞬間獲得幸福，直到永遠(yuǎn)！
錯(cuò)了。
每個(gè)人都聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)這句老話的變體：
“幸福來(lái)自于內(nèi)心?！?br>你之所以聽(tīng)了這么多次：因?yàn)樗墙^對(duì)真理。
你無(wú)法改變真理。
你可以隨心所欲地提出你的觀點(diǎn)與之爭(zhēng)論。你可以通過(guò)頑固地堅(jiān)持你的想法來(lái)分散自己的注意力，即更多的錢(qián)是你需要的，以使你更快樂(lè)。
但你的收入翻倍，你仍然不快樂(lè)。你仍然覺(jué)得更多的錢(qián)才會(huì)讓你達(dá)到目的。再翻一番，你仍然在追求更多。
你是在一個(gè)跑步機(jī)上追求幸福，朋友。不斷地努力奔跑，速度越來(lái)越快，但卻毫無(wú)進(jìn)展--至少在幸福方面是如此。當(dāng)然，你有更好的東西，更多的異國(guó)假期。但你并沒(méi)有把你的幸福撥號(hào)挪動(dòng)一小步。 因?yàn)槟闳匀辉诜裾J(rèn)真理。

So what to do?
If you're truly seeking happiness (which we know arises from within) you don't need to change what's out there. You need to change what's in here.
Your beliefs and thoughts. Your sense of self — self-awareness, self-confidence, self-esteem. Adopting new ideas about where to devote your attention, and time, and energy.
Social scientists — who devote their lives to the study of happiness — say that it derives from focus on family, friends and community, spirituality, and benevolent service to others.
I'd add to that a focus on self-development and evolving your emotional intelligence.
This answer is too long.
Most of those who are dug-in on the idea of money being the happiness panacea haven't read this far. So I'm preaching to the choir — those few among Quora readers who truly are seeking happiness, and are open to new ideas about how to achieve it.
As a super happy guy who has discovered the formula to personal happiness, and a researcher of the science, philosophies, and psychology of happiness, may I suggest you follow me.
Namaste!

那么該怎么做呢？
如果你真的在尋求幸福（我們知道幸福來(lái)自內(nèi)心），你不需要改變外面的東西。你需要改變里面的東西。
你的信念和想法。你的自我意識(shí)、自信心、自尊心。采用新的想法，將你的注意力、時(shí)間和精力投入到那里。
社會(huì)科學(xué)家--致力于研究幸福的人--說(shuō)，幸福來(lái)自于對(duì)家庭、朋友和社區(qū)的關(guān)注，靈性和對(duì)他人的善意服務(wù)。
我想在此基礎(chǔ)上再加上對(duì)自我發(fā)展和提高情商的關(guān)注。
這個(gè)答案有點(diǎn)太長(zhǎng)了。
那些沉浸在金錢(qián)是幸福靈丹妙藥的想法中的大多數(shù)人不會(huì)讀到這里。所以我只是在向唱詩(shī)班宣講--在Quora的讀者中，那些真正在尋求幸福，并且對(duì)如何實(shí)現(xiàn)幸福的新想法持開(kāi)放態(tài)度的少數(shù)人。
作為一個(gè)發(fā)現(xiàn)了個(gè)人幸福公式的超級(jí)幸福的人，以及一個(gè)研究幸福的科學(xué)、哲學(xué)和心理學(xué)的人，我建議你跟著我。
合十禮!

You make good points. I don’t disagree with them. Nevertheless, I believe that money can be a great conduit to happiness. Whether or not it is depends on how it’s used I suppose. There’s also the important question of how we define happiness or how we consider ourselves happy.

你說(shuō)得很好。我并不反對(duì)他們的觀點(diǎn)。盡管如此，我相信金錢(qián)可以是通往幸福的一個(gè)重要渠道。它是否是幸福的源泉取決于如何使用它，我想。還有一個(gè)重要的問(wèn)題是，我們?nèi)绾味x幸福，或者我們?nèi)绾握J(rèn)為自己是幸福的。
