Can Good-Looking People Be Used as Food? 33 Economic Common Sense to Improve Cognition

Being good-looking can make you earn more money, which is equivalent to eating as food. The book sorts out some psychology in life from the perspective of economics. Thinking about the problem rationally, the business rules are whoever loses the most is at fault and whoever makes changes. Later, I talked about some economic knowledge about investment and entrepreneurial insurance. It turns out that the reason why commerce and merchants are called merchants is because Excerpt: The Chinese learned to do business very early, and the Shang people of the Xia Dynasty began doing business. Wang Hai, the seventh monarch of the Shang State, was the ancestor of Chinese commerce. Wang Hai not only helped his father Ming to achieve great achievements in flood control, but also tamed cattle and horses to develop production in the Shang State (now Shangqiu City, Henan Province). He invented the oxcart and used the oxcart to pull goods, starting with food items. When one party had surplus, it would seek to exchange it with other people's surplus items. This was the prototype of commercial behavior. 2025.6.26 Fuyang

This book used economic knowledge to explain different aspects of life phenomena, life confusions, emotional problems, etc., Which benefited me a lot. It was also enlightening to see that some phenomena I usually encounter have such explanations from different angles. Later, when I started to introduce economics knowledge from the perspective of entrepreneurs and investors, I had only a limited understanding of it because I had not had much exposure to professional terminology, but it did not prevent me from opening a new door to the world. The author of this book uses a question-and-answer method and makes good use of various examples to vividly explain knowledge points, aiming to allow readers to put themselves in their shoes and understand how to solve different problems from an economic perspective.

As the title of the book is, it is a down-to-earth general economics book. The book expresses complex theories concisely and straightforwardly in the form of questions and answers. The unclear economic vocabulary in financial knowledge seems particularly familiar here - life itself is economic, and the economic concepts are endless, and the final destination is everyone's life. There are many concepts mentioned in the book. The ones that impressed me most are price discrimination, opportunity cost, anchoring effect, marginal effect, long-termism and sunk cost. These concepts are simple and easy to understand, but in the end, you just need to know that to apply them in life, you still need to constantly overcome your own greed and fear, and cultivate yourself into a rational person through continuous practice. Just as the epilogue said, life is not a road in vain, every step counts. In the marathon of life, everyone is prone to temporary greed, fear and laziness. What matters is whether we can draw lifetime gains from temporary losses. We all know the clichés of knowing and doing, and applying what we have learned. It's a pity that people can't teach others. In the end, it's all about practicing.

I really like this book. It is the first economics book I have read. Most of the content is relatively simple and easy to understand, and is not as advanced as other economic books. This book will explain some economic principles through some life cases, giving a sense of analogy and knowledge transfer. This book also introduced some basic principles of investment and gave me great inspiration.

This book tells some common sense about economics in a humorous way, from which you can learn some classic laws. The author is really a very courageous person. Dare to think, dare to do, and dare to break through your own inherent life model. Life is a vast territory, so we must continue to explore and experience the richness and variety of the world. Finally, I would like to give a passage from the book to myself, and also to the children in front of the screen: I hope that all of you can be a rational and warm person, not controlled by emotions, not swayed by anxiety, not self-isolating in the wave of information, and not wasting your life in gains and losses. Even if you have to pay the price, you still can't give up your efforts. Because life is not a road in vain, every step you take counts; every drop of sweat you put in will bear fruit.

Economics can explain almost everything in the real world. Everything you don't understand well will suddenly become clear if you explain it from an economic perspective. Behavioral economics, in particular, is no longer based on rational people, but starts from living actors, allowing us to recognize that human irrationality is often the main factor leading to deviations from original expectations.

The writing style of this book is very interesting. It answers economic problems in life through storytelling, making complex knowledge easy to understand. The writing is also very fluent. Economics is no longer a boring theory, but closely related to our lives. Moreover, many of the ideas in the book are very enlightening and gave me a new understanding of various phenomena in life. I recommend it to you!

This book has very professional parts, and then adds easy-to-understand stories. After reading it, I feel like I suddenly realized it. Many things are worth savoring and I can't stop reading them. I hope we can all find some answers in our hearts in this noisy society, and then live more transparently, understand more and be clearer in the future. Thank you to the author, and I wish everyone better and better [Love]
