I have seen such a famous psychological suggestion case before: lock a death row prisoner in a dark room, then blindfold him, and say to him: "We are going to cut your blood vessels and let your The blood flowed out and died."

Then he pretended to cut the prisoner's wrist without cutting it, and then opened the faucet, so that the death row prisoner could hear the sound of dripping water.

The next morning, the death row prisoner died. He was unharmed and was scared to death by himself.

What kind of impact does human psychology have on the body? Voodoo believers who believe in curses often die after being cursed, and there is no physical reason for this to happen.

This is a psychological suggestion.

Psychological hints have long been reflected in the traditional Chinese medicine theory left by our ancestors. Anger hurts the liver, joy hurts the heart, worry hurts the spleen and stomach, sadness hurts the lungs, and fright hurts the kidneys. "Dream of Red Mansions" Lin Daiyu Tuberculosis and coughing up blood are the symptoms. example.

Since our "heart" has such a great influence on us, how does our heart "control" us?

《Why don’t you start? The book "Think Like a Psychologist" lists 27 interesting psychological topics for us -

｜Everyone for me, or me for everyone?

｜Will caring spoil children?

｜Can people die of boredom?

｜Why are people refusing to save themselves?

｜Why haven’t you started yet?

And these are issues that we are concerned about and often face in our daily lives.

puts forward a proposition for us in the chapter "Everyone for one or me for everyone" - "Is altruism good for people?" The book uses monkeys to groom each other to prove "altruism" "It has obvious benefits for the collective. It not only helps to establish connections between individuals, but also reduces the number of parasites, making the collective healthier and benefiting the individuals more."

But in the final analysis, for me, altruism is "doing three good deeds a day", and I will be happier and love myself more because of it. Isn't this a manifestation of selfishness?

〈Can people really die of boredom? 〉Before this, I always thought that "boring" was a catchphrase, because there were friends around me who shouted boring every day.

But after reading this book, I discovered that her boredom may indeed be related to depression .

"Bored to death, this phrase first appeared in Charles Dickens's work "Bleak House". This is the first time the word boredom was used to describe a kind of mental distortion."

"Trapped in boredom "In the midst of loneliness and endless despair," this is their mental state in boring moments, and it is said in the book that bored people will spice up their ordinary lives by seeking excitement... This is why my friend loves watching horror the most. Movies and mystery books, she can even fall asleep watching horror movies!

So, pay proper attention to the people around you who often call you boring ~

There is also a chapter that is very suitable for reading in conjunction with the hot news recently - "Not helping people in trouble is a kind of simple indifference, or is it more complicated? The reason? ”

〈Why don’t you save anyone? 〉This chapter uses a "bystander experiment" to prove that when there are no other participants in the experiment, people are more likely to take action, and when there are more other people, they obviously prefer others to lend a helping hand. To reduce your risk of liability, especially in the absence of legal protection.

This is probably the instinct in human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In fact, there is nothing to condemn.

When a baby cries, should you go over and comfort it immediately, or should you let it cry? Is there really a standard answer to this question?

People often say that violence on the screen leads to violence in real life. Is this true?

Is children's mental development staged, or cumulative and layer upon layer?

From this book, I have seen too many problems that are involved in our daily lives. The answers to these questions in the book also allow us to understand ourselves and others more comprehensively.

Generally speaking, it is very popular and worth reading.
