于丹說，物質的東西越多，人就越容易迷惑。本真的快樂，與物質無關，而是來自心靈的富足，來自于一種教養，來自于對理想的憧憬，也來自于與良朋益友的切磋與交流。你的“快樂物質比”是多少呢？
The joy-to-stuff ratio is basically the time a person has to enjoy life versus the time a person spends accumulating material goods. There’s no point in working 7 days a week doing extra jobs during the weekend to have no time to enjoy yourself.
“快樂物質比”是一個人花在享受生活的時間和積累物質財富的時間比。一周七天甚至周末都在做額外的工作，沒有時間好好享受是毫無意義的。
You're not really spending money when you spend money, you're spending the life energy you put into earning that money. You only have so much life energy. What do you want to use it for? Commuting? Shopping sprees? Going for walks? Playing with your children? Serving your community? Taking that question seriously does wonders for one's joy-to-stuff ratio, decreasing stuff, increasing joy.
當你花錢的時候并不是真的在花錢，而是在花費你為了賺這些錢所付出的精力。生命精力是有限的。你想要拿它來干什么？乘公交車上下班？瘋狂購物？散散步？跟孩子玩耍？為社區服務？認真對待這些問題，你的快樂物質比就會奇跡般地改善，物質減少，快樂增加。
