In this book, he uses 24 "long letters" to awaken everyone's understanding of their true self. It reiterates that the concept of "in" (now) that its "Whole Life Series" series of books wants to express.
He borrowed Shakespeare 's famous comedy "Much Ado About Nothing" as the title of this book, in order to "many things happen when nothing happens" to express some philosophy.
He has previously established a foundation of understanding and comprehension for readers through his works in the "All Life Series". Through the summary and integration of this book, readers can find the most direct and thorough true self.
In this book, Dr. Yang Dingyi first reminds readers: "The most common and reliable mechanism in the world is change. There is life, and of course there is death. There are changes. There are processes. There are ups and downs." Only by basing ourselves on the present can we talk about the past and the future.
Why do many people either regret the past, or are anxious about the future, or even depressed?
I believe that each of us has encountered someone who is depressed or even suicidal. The United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) has released information that there are three major diseases in the world today that require attention, depression is one of them (the other two are cardiovascular disease and AIDS).
Dr. Yang Dingyi has been committed to guiding readers to deepen the meaning of life and regain the health and potential of life for many years.
He reminds readers that what troubles you is yourself. "It is neither others nor the world that abuses you. What hurts you is actually your own thoughts."
The answer and outlet to all problems in life actually lies in ourselves.
How to get rid of the troubles in your own thoughts? We can start by living in the moment and enjoying "flow".
One of the founders of positive psychology , the Hungarian-American psychologist Csikszentmihalyi, proposed the concept of "flow" in 1990.
Miha once asked some people to describe the moments when they felt happiest. Those people agreed that at that time they were fully devoted to what they were doing and completely forgot about other irrelevant things.
In the "flow" state, "time seems to slow down, the feeling is particularly clear, a kind of joy that is not limited by time and space flows through the body and mind, and every cell can feel the difference. " can be understood as entering a state of selflessness, "without distractions, forgetting both things and myself."
American Major League Baseball pitcher Rivera, who has won multiple world championships, once said that when he was pitching, he felt that only he and the catcher were left on the field, and other personnel and the noise of the stadium disappeared.
People in the flow state can get immersive experiences, feel happy, and show their best side. We can call this state "in the state".
For example, when we focus on dance, Tai Chi, yoga, calligraphy and other activities, we can feel the unity of body and mind. This kind of unity can achieve flow, help us simplify our lives and feel comfortable.
Long-lasting happiness should be sought inwardly rather than outwardly, because the expectation of seeking outwardly is never-ending. For example, when it comes to wealth, power, and reputation, as soon as the goal is achieved and after a short period of happiness, people will raise their goals.
When we discover that our pursuit is never-ending, we will realize that "the state of mind comes from the heart". Joy, love, and tranquility can all be decided by yourself.
Finding your true self can be through self-awareness or through the exercises in the book: focus on your breathing, when you inhale, say "I" in your heart, when you exhale, say "I am" in your heart, and make a statement through "I am".
This statement can be "I exist", "I have", "I am", "I can", "I am sufficient"...
"I am" contains the potential of all life. When we turn from outward pursuit to inward pursuit, we will find that everything can be allowed to take its course; everything is just right.
