IQ Tax: How to Avoid the IQ Trap in the Era of Information Anxiety

Control desires and restore rationality. Many of your impulsive behaviors come from anxiety at the level of desire. Therefore, only by controlling desires can you completely plug the loopholes in your mind.

This book is not particularly useful to me now, because we have nothing for scammers to try their best to defraud and we don't have a penny [face covering] But this book gave me a very profound lesson that cannot be said to be a truth or a lesson, it can only be said to be a warning, that is, if you are greedy for petty gains, you will suffer big losses. This way I know that pies really don't fall from the sky. Even if he falls, he may not fall on my head. Why should I think that I am the lucky one among all living beings? I'm just an ordinary person. Even if he really falls from the sky, it's impossible. I can't say it's impossible. I can only say that the chance of it falling on me is very small. Therefore, we should not be greedy for small gains and suffer big losses. After reading this book, I think I need to register a few more, which is similar to the kind of anti-fraud software. When encountering such things, you should be calm, and then, um, conduct a certain analysis on this matter.

Many of the cases in the book have been experienced in life, such as free physical examinations in private hospitals, free experiences in beauty salons, and discounts in photo studios. Occasionally, I am fooled, but it is different. As long as you don't believe that pie will fall in the world, you can avoid being deceived a lot. A book that speaks to my heart! !

This book made me aware of the deception and anti-deception techniques, and analyzed the methods from different angles and aspects. We are in the IQ tax all the time, and we have to look at our own needs and look at it dialectically. Don't lose too much. Don't be too greedy, 90% of scams can be avoided. Scammers often take advantage of people's greed and desire, hoping that we will have our own opinions and not be led into thinking about what the swindler wants you to do. The wise are "stupid". Think more about everything. You must be insensitive and don't choose blindly. You should leave some time to ask yourself before making a decision to avoid paying an "IQ tax" that is not beneficial to you.

IQ Tax is a book that reflects on oneself, fights against various scams, builds self-defense, improves underlying logic, and fights against human weaknesses. It is worth reading.

This book is the best and most detailed book I have ever read in terms of analyzing mass psychology. The first time I read it, I still accepted it completely, but I will read it a second time. I hope I can come up with some rebuttal thoughts the second time. Thank you, the author.

It's okay, but the content is no better than a novel. You need to be patient to read it, but it's not too much. After reading it, you will learn something of your own. Although the title of the book is "IQ Tax", some of the theories are also applicable to other aspects of life.

Don't pay IQ tax and embrace a sober life! In this era of information explosion, we often fall into various IQ traps, such as false advertising, consumer scams, etc. The "pits" of IQ tax are everywhere. The book deeply analyzes the root causes of information anxiety, allowing us to understand why we can be easily misled. Improve your thinking skills and learn to distinguish truth from falsehood. Only in the face of complex market environments and numerous comments on the Internet can you stay calm and make wise decisions. Develop a pair of discerning eyes and no longer easily pay for various temptations. You can better control your life and avoid getting lost in the torrent of information. [Three core questions] 1. Why do people easily fall into the IQ trap? : Because the information explosion makes it difficult to distinguish truth from falsehood, greed and fear are easily exploited, and there is a lack of critical thinking skills. (Many people blindly participate in "get rich easily" projects promoted online and end up being defrauded of money, including but not limited to fake orders, fake good reviews, and small loans) 2. How can individuals identify and prevent common IQ traps? : Be vigilant, don't be greedy for petty gains, and consult professionals more often. (For example, when encountering financial products with high returns, consult a bank financial advisor first instead of investing immediately) 3. How to cultivate independent thinking ability to avoid IQ traps? : Learn more knowledge, analyze more problems, think from multiple angles, and maintain a questioning spirit. Content Sharing 1. "In this era of information explosion, we are exposed to massive amounts of information every day, but much of it is worthless or even harmful." 2. "The essence of the IQ tax is the wrong decisions we make when we lack sufficient knowledge and judgment." 3. "Those seemingly attractive opportunities often hide traps that are difficult for us to detect. If we are not careful, we will pay a heavy price." 4. "To avoid the IQ tax, we need to cultivate the ability to think independently, not blindly follow the trend, and not be easily fooled by appearances." 5. "Only by constantly learning and improving your cognitive level can you maintain a clear mind in the complex information world."

Stupid people all have two characteristics: overestimating their own emotional intelligence and underestimating the IQ of others.

How to prevent fraud, watch early and avoid being fooled

Greed is the root of all success in deception

Sure enough, in life, some businessmen and even some people use our IQ tax or our maternal characteristics to brainwash us or design some things to make us successful every step of the way.

If you are not greedy, you will not be fooled. Those who say they don't do it will suffer a loss, so let me ask you, isn't it the same when he didn't show up at the beginning and I didn't get it? Why don't I suffer a loss if I don't do it now? Funny

This book is good, and it almost deceived me. I suggest readers to just read the last chapter, which is the essence of this book. The previous chapters are all examples of being deceived. [Cool]

It took a while It feels like it's of no use to me. In fact, as long as you maintain the ability to think independently and don't have any emotions in your life, it will be fine. I just cut my hair with scissors today. Because for me, getting a haircut is a behavioral habit given to me by others. The time and expense spent on getting a haircut recently are not worth it for me.

This book is very interesting! It reminded me of the book "Influence", which also talks a lot about how people are influenced and persuaded. I think this book can not only help us pay less "IQ tax", but also help us make smarter decisions. Just like my cousin who loves to take advantage, every time he sees free stuff, he can't walk, and he always ends up falling into the trap. I have to recommend this book to him and let him read it carefully.

Still a good point

Beneficial and flexible!

Very true and useful

It's okay, but I support this kind of books

There is still something to gain after reading this book. You can get into the trap, but you must read it dialectically. It is not recommended to accept it completely [send my heart] [send my heart]

Okay, you need to be careful.

Not bad, worthy of praise

Understand human nature, criticize your own thinking, control your greed, and later mention the sense of blunt force

The meaning of hard work is not only to prove one's success and strength, but also to not want to be abandoned or left behind by anyone again.

A very instructive book.

It's pretty good. I learned a lot. The most important thing is to look at it dialectically.

After listening to it, it's not bad. I've learned a lot more. Haha, no, I'll listen to it a few more times when I have time.

Very useful, it made me realize a lot of my one-sided blindness in looking at things.

It provides some methodologies with some flaws, but the general direction is clear and has certain reference value.
