Into the book
It is safe to say that there is no one who does not feel anxious due to the structure of their brain.
Everyone is inherently a coward.
Even cowards have ways to cope with anxiety and fear without being swayed by them.
This book introduces various methods to help you come to terms with the mental function called 'anxiety' and utilize it in your daily life.
These methods reflect the results of scientific experiments conducted around the world and also refer to literature published by universities and research institutes in Japan and abroad.
--- p.21
There is a 5% chance that your worries will become reality.
This 5% chance of happening is like an unprecedented natural disaster that is difficult to prevent with human power.
Most other things that happen are okay if you prepare properly when they actually happen.
When you have a problem, don't act with an anxious mind thinking, "What should I do?"
Let's think about appropriate measures and preparations with the mindset of 'We need to achieve this kind of result.'
--- p.25
Calming actions can include counting, taking three deep breaths, drinking water, or anything else.
However, it is better to decide in advance what behavior will calm your emotions and always do the same behavior.
This is called 'operant conditioning'.
The brain has a tendency to form patterns when the same behavior is repeated under the same conditions.
In other words, if you create a formula that says, 'When your emotions are upset, count to 10 = you can calm down,' you can effectively suppress your emotions.
This is the same principle as the routine athletes do before a game.
--- p.98
When a negative person tries to force himself to think positively, he ends up falling into a self-contradiction and becomes aware of his own negative thoughts, which in turn stimulates more negative thoughts.
This mechanism is why telling someone who is discouraged, “Fighting!” or “Cheer up!” can backfire.
When you are in a negative state, rather than trying to change your thoughts, try first acknowledging your feelings by saying, "Oh, I am being negative right now."
At this time, do not evaluate your own condition as ‘good’ or ‘bad’.
If possible, try to shift your focus by viewing yourself in the third person and describing the situation as it is, saying, "Oh, he's being negative right now."

Publisher's Review
If you want to think short and move quickly
Follow these 45 simple thinking techniques selected by brain science!
The principle of thinking that shows faster and clearer than AI,
Contains simple everyday tips that anyone can try.
To improve your concentration, start by reading a book for five minutes a day.
People who think a lot often have difficulty concentrating on one thing, so they often have to take frequent breaks or give up halfway through.
If this happens repeatedly, the desire for achievement may disappear and a feeling of helplessness may take its place.
Additionally, the self-esteem that modern people must maintain can plummet.
This applies equally to reading as it does to business.
This book explains brain science in a short, easy, and simple way that can be read in just 5 minutes a day.
You can read the book in one sitting as soon as you open it, immersed in the fun of neuroscience, but you can also read a little bit at a time whenever you feel like it.
Achievement experiences are said to be 'factors that create concentration circuits in the brain.'
I hope that you too will feel a sense of accomplishment while reading this book, rekindle your motivation, and boldly cut off the chain of thoughts.
Those who know how to control their anxiety are guaranteed success in whatever they do.
All humans are born with 'anxiety' and 'negativity bias', which causes them to overthink and feel helpless, reducing their ability to take action.
But not everyone can be said to be a thoughtful person.
Most people who are truly successful have feelings of insecurity, but they don't really care about it.
The difference between these people comes from 'those who know how to control their anxiety' and 'those who do not know how to control their anxiety'.
Anxiety is a mental function that humans carry throughout their lives and cannot be sent out of the body.
There are good ways to manage this anxiety.
It is a shift in thinking from ‘I shouldn’t be anxious’ to ‘I should live well with anxiety.’
The shift in thinking is handled by different areas of the brain.
It is not thoughts that move the brain, but actions.
Let's take a closer look at the behavioral methods explained in the text and put them into practice ourselves.
Who knows, maybe our lives will move forward a little further than yesterday.
To influence your business, relationships, and academic achievements, you must create your own mind control.
If you think too much, not only will your work efficiency decrease, but your anxiety will also increase, which will have a negative impact on your interpersonal relationships.
It's good to have mind control to steer my life in the direction I want.
For example, when you find yourself thinking a lot and having trouble concentrating while working, instead of thinking, "Why am I doing this?", try finding a place where you can enjoy the "coffee shop effect" or creating a similar place in your home.
If you try this and that and it doesn't work out, you can choose a role model and get help by following that person's way of working and studying.
If you find yourself feeling like you're "jumping the gun" and it's having a negative impact on your relationships, you need to analyze the situation as it is and send a signal to your brain that it's nothing serious.
If you would like to learn more about the principles of mind control and discover your own methods, open this book right now.
Like finding a pearl in the mud, you find clear answers in the unexpected.
The charm of this book lies in the answers it provides from unexpected sources.
As I said before, people who think a lot may become apathetic in any endeavor because they have little experience in achieving things.
The best prescription for them is very small things that can be implemented little by little in their daily lives.
Let's develop lifestyle habits that can be incorporated into our routines based on the results of experiments conducted and discovered by world-class research institutions.
Let's try completing some very unexpected things one by one, like meditating for 10 minutes, breathing, stretching, or even stopping social media or smiling.
You may wonder whether this will have much effect, but if you look at the neuroscience principles written in the text, your doubts will disappear and you will find yourself nodding your head in agreement.
