4. "You can be angry, but don't get angry the more you think about it"
Many people are looking for ways not to be angry, such as suppressing patience, being positive and optimistic, etc. However, the author of this book tells us: Those are not solutions to the problem in essence, because "emotional" is not the fault of the emotion, but the fault of the idea! As an authoritative expert in interpersonal therapy (IPT), the author believes that negative emotions are not right or wrong in themselves. They only convey psychological messages to remind us to seek help or protect ourselves. In fact, what keeps anger growing is our "emotional thinking" - this kind of thinking is based on our inner "victim mentality" and our excessive pursuit of "correctness" due to a low sense of self-affirmation. This book aims to address emotional distress at its essential level. The author analyzes those "little things that make people angry" in life, allowing readers to see the ins and outs of "emotional thinking", and also allows readers to understand how to express and communicate in such situations.
5. "Don't Think Too Much: Be a Simple Person in a Complex World"
Many times, others don't care about you that much because they are afraid of being disliked and expect to be liked. However, you don't know that no one hates you at all. Your "little expectations" don't dare to be expressed, and they become a mediocre distraction of depression and grievances; you think too much and are filled with worries, which accumulate into unbearable mental pressure. In life, there are many things that are best not to be taken to heart. It takes a little practice to become "the person who doesn't care." The popular Japanese Zen master Yoshihiko Natori provides an immersive analysis of the troubles in daily life. 104 "Don't think too much" exercises can help people no longer be depressed, anxious, and unhappy...
6. "Stop Your Inner War"
The confusions, challenges, and struggles in our lives often focus on two core issues: What I think is different from what I experience. I wanted to be that person, but what I experienced was that I was not that person. These two conflicts cause us to wage an internal war that produces negative thoughts, negative emotions, and even negative behaviors. So we always want to change ourselves and get rid of the "bad" parts, thinking that removing the "bad" will leave the "good". However, this kind of efforts to change often makes us fall into an invisible quagmire, and our talents, creativity, and vitality are constantly suppressed and consumed. Huang Shiming teacher said: "In fact, there is a positive motivation behind every negative behavior, and there is a golden light behind every dark cloud." Behind the "bad" things we want to change are the true desires of life. I hope this book can lead everyone to get rid of their obsession with "change", transform problems into resources, reconcile with themselves, reintegrate themselves, and rejuvenate the original vitality of life.

8. "Original Family: How to Repair Your Own Character Flaws"
An unhealthy family system is like a series of rear-end collisions on the highway, and its negative effects will be passed down from generation to generation! This is an inspiring classic of family psychological healing. Dr. Susan Forward used a large number of real materials she came across in her work to analyze how unhealthy native families harm children and continue to affect their children's lives as adults. What is commendable is that the author's main purpose is not to accuse such parents, but to teach specific countermeasures so that those who have been or are still suffering from parental harm can gain courage and strength, free themselves from the negative relationship pattern with their parents, restore self-confidence and strength, and gain freedom and happiness. The author of this book, Susan Forward, had a special impact on me. When I was studying at Peking University , I borrowed a book "Emotional Blackmail" from the library. This book made me enjoy reading it, especially because I understood some things that had been bothering me for a long time in an instant. This kind of understanding came quite simply and easily.At that time I thought, why not write a book like this? Why do we have to make the book obscure and difficult to understand?
9. "5% Change"
"You only want 100% change, so you are trapped; now what we have to do is to try to do 5% well first. Use an extremely small and unusual action to break the inertia and dilemma." This is a collection of wonderful cases of psychological intervention through the Internet by psychologist Li Songwei in the past two years. The book contains a total of 44 cases, covering real confusions in the five major areas of self, family, work, emotion, and interpersonal relationships. For every question raised by readers, Li Songwei gave a warm and clever answer-not so much an answer as a further question, stimulating the questioner to explore further. He will ask the questioner to try an action that has not been tried in the next week, try 5% of new possibilities, and then feedback the results to him. And these real feedbacks allow us to see: new actions bring new experiences, and when new experiences break inertia, changes happen step by step.
10. "Emotional Insensitivity: Don't take everything personally"
Why do you always care about other people's faces and what other people think? Why do you always think about things and worry about gains and losses? Oversensitivity is an important reason. Along with the fast-paced life, both adults and children will have varying degrees of psychological stress. People who are naturally sensitive will amplify this pressure. They may live in the shadow of others every day and become trapped in themselves. In fact, we don't have to pay too much attention to the "little sensitivities" and "little setbacks" in life, because some of them are other people's unintentional mistakes, and some are just our own subjective conjectures. Emotional hypersensitivity makes you vulnerable, while insensitivity is a strength that makes you more resilient. The author analyzes the psychological characteristics and causes of sensitive people, proposes four ways to get rid of emotional sensitivity, and promptly gives sensitive people an "emotional desensitization capsule" to teach you to control your emotions, heal your mood, and reshape yourself.
