The so-called psychology is not a simple subject. It involves many fields such as feeling and perception, consciousness, learning, memory, emotion, thinking, personality, intelligence, behavioral habits, interpersonal relationships, social relations, etc. These contents are all mentioned in this book, and this book adopts a relatively easy-to-understand science popularization method. It contains a total of 39 classic experiments and research and 308 full-color hand-drawn illustrations, which is relatively large compared to some large books. It is relatively easy to understand and is very suitable as an introductory book for mass learners to understand psychology.
Let me write about a more coincidental thing. I had a dream last night. The dream was quite scary. It woke me up directly. After I woke up, my memory was still very clear. The cruel scene in the dream made me never see it again. I couldn't fall asleep, so I simply started to review this dream.
As mentioned in this book - What is a dream? "Dreams are a special state of consciousness, which are feelings or thoughts similar to those in the waking state that occur during sleep." This is what we often say: thinking during the day and dreaming at night. And the book describes three interpretations of dreams -
"expression of unconscious desires and conflicts"
"by-product of spontaneous brain activity during sleep"
"reaction and extension of daytime activities"
According to the content of the book, I I thought over and over what my dreams meant. After thinking about it, it was because of the three books I had read recently. Because the contents in the books described famine and some indescribable events, they made a very deep impression on me, so I reacted in In my dreams.
I usually don’t like to dream, but as long as I read documentary literature or film and television works, I will definitely dream about the situation where the event happened and be in it. Of course, the dream will be reprocessed by my brain and become It was even more terrifying, so I had no choice but to run away as hard as I could.
After some calm analysis, I finally came out of the terrible dream. In fact, this little thing also reflects the practicality of psychology to a certain extent.
Of course, in addition to the areas I first wrote about, this book also mentions stress reactions and psychological disorders. In fact, high stress is also a kind of stress reaction, and every time I read it, Nightmares in documentary works are also a type of stress response to a certain extent.
The stress response is also divided into several different situations, but no matter what the situation is, long-term stress will cause changes in the neuroendocrine system, thereby reducing the function of the immune system and endangering our health. Therefore, I sincerely recommend that friends who are under a lot of pressure in daily work and life can read this book. When you encounter a bad mental state, you should learn to adjust in time and don't sink deeper and deeper into the emotional quagmire.
The creators of this book are mostly master's and doctoral students. They are a relatively young creative team, so their creative methods are closer to the reading habits of young people.
After reading it, I also found that the originally boring and difficult psychological theory knowledge became less "annoying" with the harmony of these cute little illustrations and small handwritten marks.
For me, who is not a psychology professional, what I need most is this kind of psychology book that is easy to get started and has strong popularization, because it is too theoretical... I really can’t get into it! (Cat sheds tears)
