Description
Book Introduction
Changing the lives of 1.5 million Chinese readers A psychology bestseller raved about by 100,000 domestic readers The secrets of psychology hidden everywhere in my life! Are you curious about the complex world and the unknown minds of people? In Africa, there are bats that attach themselves to the legs of wild horses and suck their blood. A wild horse with a vampire bat attached to its leg eventually dies. But the surprising thing is that the amount of blood a bat sucks is so small that it cannot seriously affect the health of a horse, which is much larger than itself. The cause of the horse's death was anger. The anger directed at the bat that sucks blood from a position that cannot be removed no matter how much one struggles drives the horse to death. It is becoming increasingly clear that the psychological reactions associated with an outcome are often more important than the actual event itself. For this reason, psychology has been re-evaluated in modern times. "I Became Happy Through Psychology," which maximizes the usefulness of psychology, attracted the attention of numerous readers as soon as it was published in China, selling over 1.5 million copies. It received a hot response, with hundreds of thousands of reader reviews. This book summarizes 75 of the most notable recent research findings on human psychology. It covers all the essential human psychological laws you need to know to live, from how to overcome your limitations and achieve success to the psychological laws of happiness. When you encounter unexpected hardships in life and your mind doesn't go as planned, we introduce psychological laws that help you discover the secrets hidden in your own and others' psychology and deal with them, and turn your weaknesses into strengths to achieve success. You can also learn about the psychological techniques that make human relationships flow smoothly and where excellence that goes beyond the ordinary comes from.

Into the book
Individuals and society are so closely related that individuals often complete their true self-awareness through the evaluations of others in society.
In other words, the type of person we are is often determined by social feedback.
A basic premise of economics is that people behave rationally.
However, psychology says that people are not inherently rational, and that numerous emotional factors influence people's cognitive outcomes.
Ultimately, the world we see is a projection of our own inner psychology.
But if we just keep worrying, the problem will probably never be solved.
The bad thing about worry is that it ruins our concentration.
When we worry and fret, our thoughts wander and we lose our ability to make decisions.
The Jonah complex can be seen as a kind of contradictory phenomenon.
Everyone is afraid of their own failure, the fear of not being good at something.
On the other hand, people also fear their own potential to do well, which is a difficult phenomenon to understand.
What is certain is that people both desire success and fear it.
Seizing the opportunity for success means putting in the effort and taking the risk of failure in the face of many unpredictable changes.
Whether we admit it or not, each of us has a 'natural talent'.
The Wallach effect suggests that you can achieve the best results not by completely abandoning your weaknesses, but by focusing your limited time and energy on the areas where you excel.
Among Wallach's stories, would he have achieved success if he had devoted all his energy to literature or art? He would never have achieved the same success he did in chemistry.
Bill Gates has repeatedly emphasized that “Microsoft’s bankruptcy will happen in just 18 months.”
This was his own expression that there must always be a sense of crisis.
In fact, a sense of crisis is embedded in the corporate culture of many traditional manufacturing industries, not just high-tech industries.
The initial purpose of this paradox raised by Buridan was to refute the rationalist trend of the time and to defend his own beliefs.
If someone is overly rational, it means that they will be stuck in endless decision paralysis like Buridan's donkey that has been starved and will not be able to get out of a crisis.
In psychology, this phenomenon of constantly weighing pros and cons and hesitating and being unable to make a decision has been called the 'Buridan's donkey effect'.
Therefore, it is necessary to apply the Aronson effect flexibly in all areas, including general communication, business negotiations, and marketing.
You can also use this to understand the emotional rhythm of others and gain their favor.
In fact, most of these processes are unconscious, but they influence the outcome of communication and business decisions.
The British soldier had his weapon snatched away by Hans before he could even raise it.
But Hans did not arrest him, but just let him go, turned around, and returned to his camp.
This is because Hans had already received the 'Law of Reciprocity' without even knowing it.
