The Psychology of Bizarre Behavior: the University of Pennsylvania's Popular Behavioral Psychoanalysis Class

We often encounter some "weirdos" in our lives, with mild or severe symptoms. As normal people, we often cannot understand their way of thinking and behavior. It is impossible to imagine why people have those seemingly bizarre and bizarre hobbies. It is impossible to imagine how ferocious or tolerant people can be, killing animals or even self-mutilation. From the perspective of professional psychology, this book scientifically explains to us why people have various hobbies and anti-social behaviors.

If you want to understand the general direction and content of psychological research and are interested in behavioral psychology, you can read this book. But this book also has some flaws, that is, it was probably written at the beginning of behavioral psychology research. It raises many questions but does not give answers. Many experiments have insufficient data. There are not enough experiments done to draw many conclusions. Although this book has some flaws, I still enjoyed reading it I learned a lot, such as the process and classification of thinking, human beings' negative reactions to death, etc. Reading will always make you gain something.

Behavioral psychology emphasizes the familiarization of unfamiliar behaviors, that is, observing things that ordinary people find unexpected in a large sample, and understanding the mental motivation behind those weird behaviors. The author explains in the preface that his main task is to solve the problem of getting along in the office; he not only uses the simplest psychological counseling methods, but also seeks help from colleagues, relatives and friends. Of course, such help also requires skills, but frankness is always the first priority. Since conflicts cannot be avoided, understanding the person with whom you are in conflict may make everything easier.

We often encounter people who behave strangely but don't understand why they do what they do. This book has given me a lot of inspiration, allowing me to learn to look at other people's behavior from different perspectives, and also letting me know better how to get along with others. I think everyone should read this book, it will make us more tolerant and understanding of others.

I have read a book called Bizarre Behavior before, which is very interesting. This time I will look at the psychology of weird behavior. The weird behaviors here mainly include narcissism, procrastination, obsessive-compulsive disorder, detail control, cognitive impairment, etc. It is more of a psychological research category. He teaches us to try to understand the real and deep-seated reasons behind these puzzling weird behaviors, so as to avoid offending others due to ignorance when encountering such situations. It is a very good popular science book.
