Кому принадлежит ваше счастье? / Who owns your happiness? | Nikita Grigoriev | TEDxLasnamäe


For more than five years almost everyone
day for money I supply people very much
powerful psychoactive substance and
each of them has long been formed
psychological dependence and among them
there are even minors in addition
I myself have a psychological
dependence on this substance and y
Each of you in this room and seven others
and a half billion people in
Fortunately the earth is no fault
heroin the name of this substance is dopamine
also known as the hormone of happiness and
to understand how this
dependence we need to know how it works
brain in the 50s of the 20th century, scientists Peter
Müller James Olds conducted an experiment
in the course of which they tried to understand how
brain mammals respond to fear
for this they implanted the electrode in
average us rats and at the click of a button
beat their currents such but there was something
interesting
To their surprise, some rodents this
as if I liked it so that
to confirm their guess they placed
button directly into the cage and then the rodents
Started to click on it without stopping
forgetting about food and sleeping up to 1000 1 hour as
It turned out later that these electrodes
stimulated dopamine receptors in rats
and every press of the button caused
they feel a sense of euphoria
thanks to this experiment, we became
much better understand the process of getting
pleasures from then on mankind
much progress now we
we understand that our body is constantly
produces certain hormones
neurotransmitters such as serotonin
dopamine oxytocin
they stimulate parts of the brain
responsible for the feeling of pleasure
happiness and motivation and each of you
knows these feelings when you three weeks old
from the family and your mother holds you in her arms
you feel the warmth of her body
and you hear the voice that we are singing to you
Lullaby is the best feeling
which a person can only experience in
this world at this moment is your brain
pumped you dopamine when you
grows up and you say you’re fine you
need you managed in these moments your
The brain pumps you with dopamine and we
we feel what is called happiness
why dopamine is so important to us
I’ll say one more thing to these guys this emotion
so much like our brain that we
continue to chase them all my life we
trying to find a way to take a picture
with a celebrity to buy a new car
just play a computer game all
Our actions are aimed at obtaining
pleasure that is dopamine and why he
so important to us in fact
the subconscious is not chasing after pleasure
biological task of the subconscious to survive
because if she does not cope she
will lose work and stress hormones and
Hormones of pleasure are simple
signal our body to what
prepare for example if I’m waiting
date with a girl then maybe me
the process of reproduction in
I get dopamine if
Chief
if the boss asks me to go
the office is possible for me
an unpleasant conversation means under threat
my job is my salary as a consequence
my survival I get adrenaline then
there are our feelings and emotions is simple
brain reaction to the same substances
which is produced by our own
organism
that is, we are literally in
hostages of the chemical composition of our
blood and the biological meaning of life
reduces simply to receiving the next
doses
dopamine is thus our
subconscious realizes its natural
task
survive and you probably noticed that I
talking about the subconscious in the third person she
as if this is something that does not belong to
us and it really is so after all
see if I cut my hand from me
blood will go away
it will not happen because I’m so
Wished we in the capstars frost this
biological structure
the same can be said about the cells of the bridge
they just do their job around the clock
biological task
opposite each event sound or
feelings of ticking here we
got adrenaline here we got
dopamine and this will remain with us for the whole
life in the form of experience, that is, if in 2
a year I got burned by a hot cup of tea
I do not need to do this again in
thirty years to remember that she
My hot ones are not equal forever
there this connection is hotly dangerous and with
point of view of survival is very
effective in 2008 doctor stone
from Singapore conducted the experiment purpose
which was to determine
consciously, we take our decisions for
of the volunteers were placed in the second FMR
scanner is a device that with
high accuracy fixes the brain
activity and they had to do
simple choice to click on the left or right
button results showed that in
subconscious response is almost ready
immediately and can take up to 10 seconds before
than a person realizes his choice and when
he realizes it, it seems to him that this is
it is up to the neurons
subconscious response was ready for a long time already
before that I will say it again
almost all of our everyday
Decisions are made for us by our
neurons, these decisions are made on
based on the life experience of the situation in
which we received stress hormones and
hormones of pleasure
that is, our brain does not belong to us and
never belonged to
We rather belong to him than we do
then we differ from animals from those rats
who constantly pressed the button
because our whole body is covered with hair
cover we have the same
biological processes as in animals
the same proteins and
amino acids and so on the only
that distinguishes us from animals is subtle
gray matter layer
which grows around our average
We call the young cortex precisely
neocortex is our human
Consciousness with the help of it we hear
our thoughts are aware of their decisions
there are complex algorithms
rational thinking that is not
are available to our average brain
subconscious
and it is with the help of his cartaxo that we
built all this amazing
civilization is great but there is one thing but
our average brain is 240 million years old
evolution of the neocortex is only 300
thousands and it is much slower to eat data
that the subconscious is faster 500 thousand times
However, researchers still can not
come to a common opinion as far as this
speed is different and how exactly it
it is necessary to measure
so we’ll do something with you
interesting right here now we
I will conduct a psychological experiment
I promise nobody to revive the electrodes
you will need to be in a few
seconds you will only need
predict the future and so ready to go
what now this person will say
I’m sure that all the answer is practically
the same for us it is obvious
there is no difficulty in looking at
this picture to understand what will happen through
second, it all made for you your
subconscious mind also
without much effort you can instantly
determine the approximate age and even
the social status of this person is all this
Your subconscious does on the basis of your
life experience well and another 240 billion
years of evolution brave
and now another task and the first thing you do
feel this discomfort
and right now your subconscious mind
offered you the most familiar and convenient
method of solving this problem
calculator who someone already reached for
perfectly well and should be remember this
feeling of discomfort, it has a direct
attitude to your happiness and we to it
still back by the way the correct answer
6290 8 I counted on this calculator
The task can not be solved by our
with a quick subconscious mind this task for
our
neocortex because in the subconscious in
the average brain simply does not have such
algorithms and you are able to solve it
independently without a calculator however
this will be accompanied by a strong
a sense of discomfort
firstly because to use
neocortex is very energy-consuming to our
the brain does not like it in the second you do not
faced with similar examples each
day and you simply do not have neural connections
which would instantly give you an answer
However, if such a
the abstract situation is that of the solution
This example would depend on your life
discomfort will not disappear anywhere you will be
It is even more acute to feel it however you
do everything to make it as soon as possible
We solve this problem in
condition to ignore this discomfort and
if you decide on a daily basis
examples then every day you will have
get better and better and someone
it might even be pleasant if you
Ever learned to play music
instrument or a new language taught any
A new skill is something you perfectly understand about
what I’m saying at first you do not do anything
everything turns out badly
However, as you continue
to try in some surprising way
you start to get better and
better actually nothing surprising
no lifelong life is our brain in
able to create new neural
connection as saying for this there is
a special layer in which
stem cells that are constantly
turn into new neurons and as
How do you ignore this discomfort?
you are in effect gaining control of your
subconscious all you need is
just to know about this discomfort
continue to do what you do and
then the brain will have no choice, he
he will be forced to create new
neural connections discomfort is easy
attempt of the subconscious to protect themselves from
extra energy and changes and how I
already saying knowing this you get
control over your subconscious mind
of you in a condition almost physically
change your brain
reprogram it to create new ones
neural connections
Why is this important and what is the relationship
has to our happiness as I said before
the biological meaning of life is
getting dopamine is happiness
pleasure and now let’s think about it
to which
our subconscious mind learn for life
what tools do we have for
getting this very happiness when we
our little happiness depends on our
parents will buy a toy for us to play
then the spring grows and our
happiness begins to depend on the children in
they will be friends with us or
will boycott us and then we find
the very same person and our happiness
begins to depend on it is
practically our whole life our happiness is not
depends on ourselves and if your happiness
want one person on the planet
I have bad news for you
none of them was born to
to make you number ok
one was and right now he is sitting on
your place and the first thing you feel
this discomfort remember these phrases I
you want the last letter in the alphabet
you will get a little right and so on
Imagine a child who is
life hears these phrases
whose child is constantly compared with
son of my mother ‘s friend
the child who gets that very love
support and
dopamine only when it is comfortable and
a good thing to learn from him is simply not
will be the choice
he will be forced to please his parents
Good assessments he will get to work
which everyone around approves he will be
to please relatives of friends at
bosses he will make everyone happy
around except yourself what will happen to him through
20-30 years of such a life in the best case
feeling of resentment and disappointment in the worst
depression and neurosis panic attacks and
then he will have to go to a psychologist to
to a stranger
everything is bad and still pay money for it
why not for my banking
account is not so bad but with this
you can do something each of you in
able to be responsible for their own happiness but
for this you have to use your own
A slow energy-consuming cortex and how
you already know this will be accompanied by
a strong sense of discomfort
one day, someone came to see me at the reception
woman in her had a difficult relationship with
men he insulted her allowed himself
raise her hand and it many times from
He left and returned every time
because they were left alone with their
thoughts and and filled the very same
discomfort next to no more men
which make her happy or
unhappy
there is no one else to shift this
responsibility for the first time in your life for your
happiness she meets herself
and it’s scary and intolerable
intolerant enough that she is ready
return to this man the lake all that
It would be better if I did not take this
responsibility already at the first meeting we
found out what happens if you think about it
that is, things that make her happy
I like going to the movies and restaurants
but the trouble is it there are always invited and
if she went it is no longer that
it’s sitting at every stage of the subconscious
clung to the familiar model of the world although
rationally, she understood that her life
requires drastic changes in the end
we agreed that
Once a week she crosses her
discomfort and behave in the movies and in the
the restaurant itself is in other words to learn
take responsibility for one’s happiness
it’s been more than a year since she finally
a new attitude and as far as I know not
should and did offer
very cute but this is not the most important thing most
the main thing is that it is so much more impossible
because now she
the person who is responsible for his
happiness to see and our brain is not important
what to process as if multiplication
of two-digit numbers
playing a musical instrument or
responsibility for your happiness any
A new task will be accompanied by
a strong sense of discomfort you will
hard but as you are
continue to try your brain is not
He will be forced to choose
create new neural connections and this
will become familiar and simple
and maybe when you listen
When you listen to this speech from someone from
you have the thought that well, and live
only for themselves and also selfishness
physical and moral
caring for yourself is not selfishness
selfishness and so it is when everyone around should
make me happy and live how I want
besides, it’s not about living
only for yourself it’s great when we
we can please people close to us but
in order to share happiness
they need to first possess themselves can
be you remember that before takeoff
aircraft when instructed to speak
one interesting phrase that if
an abnormal situation will occur and fall out
oxygen masks you travel with
baby then first put on the mask on
yourself and only then the child because
if you can not help you and
lose consciousness then your child already
no one will help the same can
say about happiness
and I do not set out to teach you how to be
I am not happy with this .
instructions for her life can not be in the
principle just as it can not be
instructions for which a 9-month-old child
can learn to walk he just falls down
a hundred times a day makes a lot of mistakes
ignores this discomfort rises and
moves on and then he can already and
run and jump and never in my life
unlearn it
to be responsible for one’s happiness is exactly this
same tax and each of you has everything for
in order to master them to change
something or not you decide it’s all
only your life but if you suddenly decide
take responsibility for your happiness at
yourself the best that you can do is
give yourself the right to fail to take
inevitable discomfort and then finally
perhaps for the first time in your life you can
manage the machine of happiness which
He rushes along the highway called life
