Macht euch nicht zuviel Börsenstress...

Singapur (rpo). Keine Lust mehr am Sex: Wirtschaftsflaute und immer mehr Stress im Job sorgen für tote Hose in Singapurs Bevölkerung. Wissenschaftler sprechen von einer "Lifestyle-Impotenz".
Im Durchschnitt gehe ein Einwohner des Inselstaats unter 40 Jahren nur sechs Mal im Monat mit jemandem ins Bett, während es in den meisten anderen Ländern knapp drei Mal pro Woche sei, zitiert die Zeitung "Straits Times" (Montagsausgabe) eine Untersuchung der National University of Singapore. Hauptursache sei einfach zu viel Stress, sagte Leiter der Studie, Professor Victor Goh.

A real downer
Materialism breeds depression, makes happiness elusive

LOS ANGELES (CBS.MW) -- Dr. Richard Ryan and Dr. Tim Kasser say chasing money makes people mentally ill. Materialism breeds depression, not happiness -- and they have case studies to prove it.
I tracked down Ryan at the University of Rochester in New York. Research papers, articles and discussions about "self determination" theory give me a good idea of what the two psych-oriented sociologists have discovered about the pursuit of affluence.
"When we started out, we were looking at people's value systems and their emphasis on relationships, commitment, and personal growth," Ryan says. "When we put the relative importance value on money, it had strong mental affects."

Unhappiness
The studies weren't intended to show the pursuit of affluence created unhappiness, it just turned out that way, says Ryan, a professor in the Department of Clinical and Social Sciences in Psychology.
I drop the "doctor" after a few moments with Ryan. He is a casual, more accessible fellow than such a title affixes. He speaks informally, as well; no esoteric psychology jargon. Things are "happy" or "sad."
That was surprising, considering some of the titles of Ryan's work: "A Meta-Analytic Review of Experiments Examining the Effects of Extrinsic Rewards on Intrinsic Motivation", "On Happiness and Human Potentials: A Review of Research on Hedonic and Eudaimonic Well-Being", and so on.
Ryan steered our interview away from esoteric methodology toward real-life, touchy-feely questions and answers.
"We all think there is satisfaction in shopping, right? But when people make purchases, there is actually an upswing in negative effect," says Ryan. "When my wife comes up and gives me a hug, there is nothing dissatisfying in that."

Simple pleasures mean the most
Ryan's thesis basically says most people are barking up the wrong tree. "People who had financial success also had discontent with their family relationships and their caring relationships. If I wake up and all I think about is the next consulting job or the next seminar and my kid is asking me a question about something important to him but I'm too preoccupied to pay attention, there is a problem -- for the child and for me."
And so it is, the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon. Little boy blue and the man on the moon.
Money doesn't help, says Ryan, nor does it seem to hurt personal well-being.
"Because it's about being rich. The other part is fine. When your personal well-being is attached to the attainment of goals, and the attainment of those goals doesn't produce happiness, look out," says Ryan.

. . . and then, depression sets in.
"Our intrinsic values have to be satisfying in their own right," Ryan says. "If they happen to have an extrinsic benefit, that's happenstance."

Play the game because you love it
"After the 1960s and now, after two periods of affluence, people are asking 'What now?' more and more. When we get things, we realize that we aren't all that satisfied by them," says Ryan.
Philanthropy is up more than 1,000 percent over the last five years.
The material, or extrinsic, things that Ryan speaks of can never replace the internal, or intrinsic, needs he also addresses. Try as we might.
In his findings, Ryan studied a group of about 300 18-year-olds from Russia and the United States. Among most of the individuals who wanted material trappings, the majority had mothers who were cold or distant to them as children.
"They want material trappings because they have promises of what comes with them, which is intimacy and a sense of security and love. It doesn't happen. If someone loves you because of your car, it means that they don't love you. So you can't win," Ryan says.
This happens with couples too. "When you are with someone because they look good, and their looks somehow, you think, will reflect upon you, that's not a start to a healthy relationship. You have to find a spiritual partner, someone you can relate to on a deeper level," says Ryan.

The soul
How do we get there? How do we escape from these "surface trappings," as Ryan calls them, and go deep?
"Those people who are higher in mindfulness and are attuned to what's going on around them are also attuned to their intrinsic values."

Consciousness
"Those who contribute, who are caring toward others and for the earth, can find intrinsic satisfaction even though happiness wasn't the goal."

Ja German :) Der Artikel würde dahin auch passen ;)

"Those people who are higher in mindfulness and are attuned to what's going on around them are also attuned to their intrinsic values. Those who contribute, who are caring toward others and for the earth, can find intrinsic satisfaction even though happiness wasn't the goal.""

Schade, dass ich im nahenden Winter nicht mehr so oft im Garten rumwuseln kann. Das macht mich a bisserl depri :(

Also,

ein bischen albern ist das schon, die armen Singaporis! Jeden Tag 30º oder 31º C, das ganze Jahr über, da kann man natürlich nur im Streß aufgehen. Natürlich sind Singapore Sling in der Long Bar trinken und shoppen Streß. Und dann erst abends am Clarke Quai essen gehen. Und hört mir auf mit dem Nachtzoo, immer diese Tiere ansehen müssen...Am schlimmsten, ja, also wirklich am schlimmsten ist die Sauberkeit, keine grafitties, keine Rostlauben am Straßenrand, saubere Gehwege, gepflegte Parks...wenn die Stadtreinigung wenigstens mal vergessen würde, die Mülltonnen zu leeren...ja, das wär ´was!
