– More than 2 million students have enrolled on Professor Laurie Santos\u2019 Coursera course, The Science of Well Being<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Research shows mental health has deteriorated as a result of stress and worry as the COVID-19 crisis has developed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00e1s de dos millones de alumnos se han matriculado en el curso de la catedr\u00e1tica Laurie Santos en la plataforma Coursera cuyo t\u00edtulo es \u00abLa ciencia del bienestar.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las investigaciones demuestran que la salud mental se ha deteriorado como resultado del estr\u00e9s y las preocupaciones conforme ha avanzado la crisis de la COVID 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Professor Santos says individuals\u2019 wellbeing can be boosted by helping others, and companies and policymakers can also learn from that.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

La profesora Santos dice que el bienestar de los individuos puede ser impulsado si las personas ayudan a otras personas y a\u00f1ade que tanto las empresas como los pol\u00edticos pueden aprender de ese hecho.
<\/strong>
The global lockdown is taking a toll on mental health, with a recent poll in the US showing rising rates of stress and worry, while quarantining has resulted in symptoms of depression for some.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


El confinamiento se est\u00e1 cobrando un peaje en lo que se refiere a la salud mental, con un reciente estudio en los Estados Unidos que muestra unas crecientes tasas de estr\u00e9s y de preocupaci\u00f3n, a la vez que hacer cuarentena ha conllevado s\u00edntomas de depresi\u00f3n para algunos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Fortunately, the internet is a wealth of advice on how to stay sane, and one of its breakout stars is Yale academic, Professor Laurie Santos, who has become a media fixture in recent weeks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Afortunadamente, internet es una fuente de buenos consejos sobre c\u00f3mo permanecer con buena salud mental y una de sus estrellas emergentes es la catedr\u00e1tica de Yale Laurie Santos, la cual se ha convertido en alguien omnipresente en los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n en las \u00faltimas semanas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Santos\u2019 online course for e-learning platform Coursera, titled The Science of Wellbeing, has become a phenomenon, with more than 2 million students enrolled to date, and more than 40 million views of the course page. She also has a thriving podcast – the Happiness Lab.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El curso online para la plataforma de aprendizaje telem\u00e1tico Coursera, cuyo t\u00edtulo es \u00abLa ciencia del bienestar\u00bb se ha convertido en un fen\u00f3meno con m\u00e1s de dos millones de alumnos matriculados hasta la fecha y con m\u00e1s de 40 millones de visualizaciones en la p\u00e1gina del curso. Ella tambi\u00e9n tiene un pujante canal de podcasts cuyo nombre es \u00abEl laboratorio de la felicidad\u00bb.

In an interview for the World Economic Forum\u2019s own podcast, Professor Santos explains how her insights can help combat feelings of isolation and low mood, and what governments and businesses can learn too.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/strong>En una entrevista para el propio podcast del Foro Econ\u00f3mico Mundial, la profesora Santos explica c\u00f3mo sus conocimientos pueden ayudar a combatir los sentimientos de aislamiento y de un bajo estado de \u00e1nimo, y explica tambi\u00e9n c\u00f3mo tanto los gobiernos como las empresas pueden aprender de sus ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Mental health challenge

As Santos sees it, people are looking for mental health solutions because, unlike clear advice on handwashing and social distancing, it\u2019s less straightforward to look after how you feel.

\u201cEveryone’s feeling anxious and uncertain and kind of scared, and people just really want things they can do to feel better,\u201d she says.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El reto de la salud mental<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tal y como lo ve la profesora Santos, las personas buscan soluciones a sus problemas de salud mental porque, a diferencia de los consejos tan obvios sobre el lavado de manos y el distanciamiento social, cuidar de c\u00f3mo te sientes es algo menos sencillo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ella dice que \u00abtodo el mundo tiene ansiedad, incertidumbre y est\u00e1 algo as\u00ed como atemorizado, as\u00ed que las personas simplemente quieren saber qu\u00e9 cosas pueden realmente hacer para sentirse mejor\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cI think the class really gives that: evidence-based tips you can put into practice today, that the research suggests will improve your wellbeing.\u201d

There is clear evidence that something is needed to help those suffering during the pandemic lockdown.<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pienso que la clase realmente proporciona eso: consejos basados en evidencias que puedes poner en pr\u00e1ctica hoy en d\u00eda; consejos que, seg\u00fan sugieren las investigaciones, mejorar\u00e1n tu bienestar.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hay pruebas claras de que se necesita hacer algo al respecto para ayudar a aquellos que sufren durante el confinamiento por la pandemia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


A recent survey by US pollster, Gallup, found almost 60% of Americans reporting feeling worried, up 20% on last summer, while the percentage considering their lives to be thriving had dropped to just under 49%, the lowest level since the 2008 financial crisis.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un estudio reciente de la empresa encuestadora Gallup descubri\u00f3 que casi el 60% de los Americanos dec\u00edan sentirse preocupados, un 20% m\u00e1s que el verano anterior, mientras que el porcentaje de aquellos que consideraban que sus vidas estaban prosperando ha ca\u00eddo a justo por debajo del 49%, el nivel m\u00e1s bajo desde la crisis financiera del 2008.
<\/strong>
Track record

Santos had ample opportunity to road-test her approach before COVID-19 struck.

In 2018, she started a new course, Psychology and the Good Life, at Yale. It rapidly became the most successful in the university\u2019s history, with almost a fourth of the entire undergraduate community enrolled. She thinks students were simply \u201clooking for evidence-based ways of improving their mental health.\u201d<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historial<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santos tuvo una gran oportunidad de poner a prueba su m\u00e9todo antes de la epidemia de la COVID 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En 2018 ella empez\u00f3 un curso nuevo, \u00abPsicolog\u00eda y la buena vida\u00bb en la Universidad de Yale. R\u00e1pidamente se convirti\u00f3 en el curso m\u00e1s exitoso en la historia de la universidad de Yale, con casi una cuarta parte de sus estudiantes de pregrado matriculados en el mismo. Ella piensa que los alumnos simplemente estaban \u00abbuscando modos de mejorar su salud mental basados en evidencias.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Three decades of work have gone into collecting the evidence on which she bases her advice, rooted in researchers asking what are happy people doing? These are 3 lessons that work…

<\/strong>Han pasado tres d\u00e9cadas de trabajo y la profesora ha recogido pruebas sobre las que basar sus consejos, fundamentadas en investigadores que preguntaban a las personas felices qu\u00e9 es lo que hac\u00edan para estarlo. Estas parecen ser las tres ense\u00f1anzas que parecen funcionar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


1. Socialize

\u201cResearch suggests that happy people tend to be relatively social,\u201d explains Santos.

\u201cThis is a hard thing to do in the time of COVID-19 because social distancing often means we can’t physically hang out with the people we care about.\u201d
<\/strong>
However, she explains that technology can go a long way to help. \u201cThe research suggests that the act of hanging out with folks in real time, in other words, things like Zoom or FaceTime can be a really powerful way to connect with people.

\u201cYou see their facial expressions, hear the emotion in their voice, you’re really able to connect with them.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/strong>Social\u00edzate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abLas investigaciones demuestran que las personas felices tienden a ser relativamente sociables\u00bb – explica la profesora Santos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abSocializar es algo dif\u00edcil de hacer en los tiempos de la COVID 19, ya que el distanciamiento social a menudo significa que nosotros no podemos juntarnos con las personas que nos importan.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sin embargo, ella explica que la tecnolog\u00eda tiene un largo camino que recorrer en el terreno de la ayuda. \u00abLas investigaciones sugieren que el mero hecho de quedar con los amigos en tiempo real, en plataformas como Zoom o Face Time pueden ser un modo poderoso de conectarse con las personas. porque ves sus expresiones faciales, escuchas las emociones en sus voces y eres realmente capaz de conectar con ellos.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n


2. Help others
<\/strong>
\u201cHappy people tend to be really \u2018other\u2019 oriented,\u201d Santos explains, meaning they focus on other people’s happiness rather than their own.<\/strong>

\u201cThis is something that culturally can be a little confusing,\u201d she says. \u201cWe have this idea of \u2018self care\u2019, and treating yourself.<\/strong>

\u201cBut the research suggests if you make people do nice things for others, like donate money, that tends to boost their wellbeing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Ayuda a los otros <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Las personas felices tienden a estar realmente orientadas hacia \u00ablos dem\u00e1s\u00bb, seg\u00fan explica la catedr\u00e1tica Santos, y ello quiere decir que se enfocan m\u00e1s en la felicidad de otros que en la suya propia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abEsto es algo que puede ser culturalmente un poco desconcertante\u00bb, dice ella. \u00abTenemos esta idea del \u00abautocuidado\u00bb y la de mimarse a uno mismo.
\u00abPero las investigaciones demuestran que si haces que las personas hagan cosas agradables para los dem\u00e1s, como darles dinero, eso tiende a aumentar su propio bienestar.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cDoing random acts of kindness, particularly in this time when we’re all really struggling, can be incredibly powerful. It has a positive effect on society as well.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/strong>\u00abRealizar actos aleatorios de bondad, especialmente en unos momentos en los que todos estamos realmente esforz\u00e1ndonos duro, puede ser algo realmente poderoso. Y tiene un efecto positivo tambi\u00e9n en la sociedad.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Be present\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vive en el presente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, practice mindfulness. \u201cHappy people tend to be more mindful – present in the moment, noticing what’s happening to them,\u201d says Santos.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

En otras palabras, practica la atenci\u00f3n plena. \u00abLas personas felices tienden a tener m\u00e1s conciencia, a estar en el momento presente, d\u00e1ndose cuenta de qu\u00e9 es lo que les sucede\u00bb, dice la profesora Santos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeditation can be an incredibly powerful tool in the midst of this crisis because it causes you to focus on what’s happening in your body at the present moment.\u00bb\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abLa meditaci\u00f3n puede ser una herramienta muy poderosa en mitad de la crisis porque hace que te centres en lo que est\u00e1 sucediendo en tu cuerpo en el momento presente.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour mind can’t be ruminating about where you’re going to get your next roll of toilet paper or what’s happening with your elderly relative.\u00bb\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abPuede que tu mente est\u00e9 rumiando d\u00f3nde vas a conseguir tu siguiente rollo de papel higi\u00e9nico o qu\u00e9 es lo que le est\u00e1 ocurriendo a\u00a0un familiar que es un anciano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses and policymakers\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0These simple but powerful insights into wellbeing are as relevant to companies and policymakers as they are to individuals, argues Santos, especially when millions of people are uniquely vulnerable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Negocios y pol\u00edticos<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estos conocimientos simples y sencillos sobre el bienestar son tan relevantes para las compa\u00f1\u00edas y los pol\u00edticos como para los individuos, defiende Santos, especialmente cuando millones de personas son extraordinariamente vulnerables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think companies are starting to realize that the act of helping others can improve their own wellbeing,\u201d she says, citing the decision of some firms to support good causes, or to let customers allocate part of their purchase price to a charity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abPienso que las compa\u00f1\u00edas est\u00e1n empezando a darse cuenta de que el hecho de ayudar a otras personas puede ayudarles a mejorar su propio bienestar\u00bb, dice ella, mencionando la decisi\u00f3n de algunas empresas de apoyar buenas causas, o de permitir que los clientes destinen parte del precio de su compra a una organizaci\u00f3n ben\u00e9fica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But she thinks there are broader lessons too: \u201cOne of the things that’s most powerful for policymakers to realize is that our own theories about what makes us happy might be wrong.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pero ella piensa que hay algunas lecciones m\u00e1s amplias que se pueden extraer tambi\u00e9n: \u00abUna de las cosas m\u00e1s poderosas que los pol\u00edticos pueden extraer es darse cuenta de que nuestras propias teor\u00edas sobre lo que nos hace felices podr\u00edan estar equivocadas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo our theory might be, \u2018I’m just going to relax and focus on my own self-care\u2019. But actually reaching out to a friend would be more helpful.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abAs\u00ed que nuestra teor\u00eda podr\u00eda ser: simplemente voy a relajarme y a centrarme en mi propio auto-cuidado. Pero en realidad contactar con un amigo ser\u00eda mucho m\u00e1s \u00fatil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She ends on an upbeat note. \u201cHistorically, we have gone through losses before. We’ve come out as a society better and more ready to do the things that we need to do – to build a better society and focus more on wellbeing in our own personal lives.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ella termina con una nota optimista: \u00abHist\u00f3ricamente, hemos pasado por p\u00e9rdidas antes. Y hemos salido mejores como sociedad y estamos m\u00e1s dispuestos a hacer las cosas que precisamos hacer, tales como construir una sociedad mejor y centrarnos m\u00e1s en el bienestar y en nuestras propias vidas personales.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
