Good evening, everyone. (18)I'm Jennifer Green. Thanks for joining us. In today’s edition, Our Perfect Life, our guest is Brock Bastian, a social psychologist from The University of Melbourne. Professor Bastian’s research focuses on pain, happiness and morality. (19)Recently, he published a book on the role of pain in promoting pleasure. The title of the book is The Other Side of Happiness. In this book, he argues that as we seek to escape pain or sorrow, we’re weakening ourselves and may lose our adaptability to deal with pain in the future. (19)Painful experiences are in fact vital for our development and how we face the unavoidable challenges ahead, and they play a key role in helping us develop our ability to feel truly happy. (18) (20) Now, let’s welcome Professor Bastian to talk about his ideas in the book.
