Douban score: 9.2 Divided into
Reasons for recommendation:
This is a very good introductory textbook for beginners to learn about psychology .
I am also very interested in psychology, but when I first started studying, I just learned a little bit here and there. In the end, I learned very miscellaneous and unsystematic.
If you are also interested in psychology, I recommend this book to be a must-read.
Through this book, you can form a systematic understanding of psychology, and then read the corresponding literature or books according to your favorite direction.

"Endogenous Power"
Author: Elit Fishbach
Douban rating: None
Reason for recommendation:
This book is relatively new, so there is no rating yet.
But the author of this book is a professor of behavioral science and marketing at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and the former head of the Association for Motivation Science.
It can be said that the author is a master who specializes in studying human behavior and motivation.
The reason why we can't do it is because we can't think of it.
But we thought of it, but we were not motivated enough.
In fact, the problem is not difficult to solve. What is solved is the various doubts in our hearts.
If you feel that other books on behavior research cannot help you, you can read this book and try to stimulate your endogenous motivation.
"The power of now "
Author: Eckhart Tolle
Douban score: 8.7
Reason for recommendation:
Many people say that we Chinese people lack faith and do not know what to do with life.
In fact, the whole world is too big for us. We want too many things, and in the end we don’t know what to work for.
We are miserable.
Author Eckhart Tolle points out the main source of our daily suffering - being controlled by brain thoughts and worrying about the past and future instead of living in the present.
But in fact, we can only live in the present, in this moment.
It is through surrendering to the present moment that you can find true power, gain inner wisdom and true joy.
The author proposed several very practical methods in "The Power of Now" to help yourself recognize the illusion of time and live in the present.
is a practical and useful book for those of us who are generally anxious, depressed, and stressed. It will allow us to recognize the illusion of time, live in the present, find real power, and discover the entrance to peace and tranquility.
Thinking and Emotions
"Rethinking"
Author: Adam Grant
Douban score: 7.5
Recommended reasons:
Although this book is a theoretical discussion of thinking, it is not difficult to read. It is more composed of stories, and rethinking is not a particularly difficult task, nor does it require the use of special tools.
But our reality is that due to different positions, we cannot rethink based on the real situation, so that things deteriorate irreversibly.
So how to get rid of our own prejudices and think again is an ability that each of us needs to exercise.
"Thinking as a Habit"
Author: Han Yan
Douban score: 6.6 Points
Recommended reasons:
" An unexamined life is not worth living. If there is no thinking, there is no real life." This sentence is very suitable for us now. Life is uncertain, choices are uncertain, and the future is even more uncertain.
The more uncertain life is, the more certainty you need to live, and certainty requires thinking as a habit.
This book is very suitable for us to read. It is very down-to-earth. It systematically explains how we build a growth framework and lay a solid foundation for our workplace.
"Emotions"
Author: Leonard Mlodinow
Douban score: 8.6 Points
Recommended reasons:
We have to face many choices and make decisions every moment, from repetitive trivial matters to major matters of life and death. Behind these decisions are the behind-the-scenes manipulation of emotions.
Emotions are variables that affect our correct decisions. They enable us to quickly and effectively understand the current situation, adjust the brain's thinking mode, weigh the potential costs and benefits of various behaviors, and make decisions that best meet the needs of the real situation.
This book starts from emotions and explains in detail how we can make the right decision. As we face more choices, the most important thing is to make the right decision.
Humanities and History
"Guns, Germs and Steel"

Douban score: 8.7

This book is a major progress in understanding the history of human social development. It records the modern world and the reasons for its many inequalities. It is also a true history of all nations around the world. It is a complete and consistent narrative of human life. It is eloquently told and highly readable. The book
won the 1998 American Pulitzer Prize and the British Popular Science Book Award, and was on the New York Times bestseller list.
If you want to improve your own structure, you must read this book.
"Searching for Meaning"
Author: Wang Defeng
Douban score: 8.5
Reasons for recommendation:
In this book, Wang Defeng talks freely with you about reading, education, philosophy, ideals, and classical music, leading you to reorganize your current life situation and problems, and think about the meaning of life: "Every specific success is not enough to settle the infinite side of our hearts."
Teacher Wang Defeng said: "Only when we truly understand the meaning of the times in our own hearts, can we form our life ideals."
This book will help you find the meaning of life.
"Confucius"
Author: Yasushi Inoue
Douban rating: 7.9
Reason for recommendation:
This book, Luo Xiang teacher is also in 2022 It has been recommended in the annual book list, and I will recommend it again.
Teacher Luo Xiang said: Confucius never regarded himself as a saint. He was an ordinary person of flesh and blood. He also thought about lying down more than once. Confucius once said to his student Zilu, "If the Tao is not good, ride on a canopy and float on the sea." But he knew his mission and knew that it was impossible to do, but he still adhered to the ethics of a gentleman in the face of adversity, and also hoped to train his students to become gentlemen.
Recently, we heard some memes on Douyin, saying that Confucius used virtue as a weapon to convince people, and that Confucius was very powerful in martial arts.
It’s actually a bit of a joke, but Confucius must not have been a weak scholar. It’s scary to think about a two-meter-tall scholar.
Then we might as well think about it. When Confucius was traveling around various countries, it happened to be a time of trouble. How could he get through it safely without some martial arts?
Finally, I thought that if civil servants are Confucius’ standards, then civil servants are really a compliment.
last
In 2023, we don’t know what will happen.
But the more times like this, the more opportunities we have, the focus is on how to live with more certainty.
Calm down and improve yourself~
