Just like the "hot and cold water effect" mentioned in the book, changing the order of speaking can affect the psychology of others. We must understand human nature and people's hearts in order to avoid being manipulated by others. For example, Mr. Lu Xun's teacher said: "If someone proposes to open a window in the wall of the house, the people will definitely reject it, and the window will definitely not be opened. But if it is proposed to remove the roof directly, the people will give in and agree to open a window." This is a clever psychological manipulation. After reading this book, I feel more confident in my relationships.

This book is the most elegant psychology book I have ever read. 1. Various short stories are arranged appropriately, making reading not boring; 2. The writing is fluent, the words and sentences are elegant and elegant; 3. There are many Chinese and foreign famous quotes, which are often the highlight of a chapter; 4. The principles are explained in a clear and detailed manner, and many cases are combined to inspire people. Let me share with you my favorite sentences among them: 1. "This is all because you have sold a piece of territory in your heart to others, and the others have stronger inner power. His big city occupies the commanding heights, and he can overlook your small city from his balcony and have an unobstructed view. By then, you will become uncomfortable, There is no mystery at all! And if you want to "visit" others, they are far away in the courtyard. Just imagine that because of your negligence, you betrayed yourself and let your psychology be manipulated by others. How unworthy it is! 2. There is also Chapter 13, "The famous humor master Lin Yutang summarizes that Chinese people (especially scholars) asking for help and doing things are like writing eight-legged essays." It takes four paragraphs to explain, which is humorous and interesting.

It also contains many practical examples from psychology. Some involve details in the workplace, but they are worth a second review anyway.
