The Genius Is on the Left and the Madman Is on the Right

The genius is on the left, the madman is on the right, I am in the middle, I am the emperor!

I recommend everyone to read "The Genius is on the Left and the Madman is on the Right" by Gao Ming. I bought the physical book. The physical book is better and I don't recommend the online book.

So beautiful! ! At first I thought it was Gao Ming's book, but it turns out it's not, but it's really good-looking. I feel like my worldview has been subverted and I see people differently! Why is the rating so low?

2024.10.25.13:51 I finished reading it and learned many unknown stories and some characters I had heard of. The "Stanford Prison Experiment" revealed an important fact: good people can also become bad people, and the change is rapid and thorough. Know the Five Sexual Perversions The "herd effect" and "Lucifer effect" in the Rwandan genocide The scientific name of "Shy Bladder Syndrome" is "Situational Urination Disorder". "Collective Unconscious" Childhood is our spiritual home, and the trauma experienced in childhood will be remembered in our hearts. Trauma takes root deep in the soul, just like sowing seeds in the earth. As time goes by, the seeds gradually sprout, grow branches, and grow into towering trees. However, its roots are still the original seeds, which were multiplied by the trauma in childhood. Behind the aura of genius, everyone endures inhuman torture. Sometimes I'm really glad that it's better to be an ordinary person.

Nice! This book learns from the world of mental patients how patients view and approach the world. In their world, they think that what they do is legal and reasonable. But it will look weird to normal people! That's where the title of the book comes from! 2024.8.6

It's great, it makes people feel better after watching it😁 It makes people understand the diversity of living things, but sometimes the sanity value will drop.

This is a very good psychological book. Each story corresponds to a real case. The author introduced us to many mental diseases, which made me know how rare it is to be a normal person, so we should cherish the current life and live with love.

The world of geniuses is incomprehensible to ordinary people, but geniuses are also more likely to be troubled by mental illness. Ordinary people cannot bear the various blows of life and will suffer from mental problems. But most people can only digest it on their own. I hope the world will have more understanding of mental patients. This book tells many cases of mental illness, and I will have a better understanding of mental problems and their causes. Geniuses are a minority, and lunatics are also a minority.

It's quite interesting, the language is simple and objective, and the cases are novel and interesting, which made me think a lot. However, the symptoms seem to be a little repetitive or similar, so the overall feeling is good. [Think]

Isn't this book called Weird Psychology?

We are the lucky ones among all living beings, so why should we envy those geniuses with outstanding achievements? While they have glory and glory, they also have the tragedy of the bottomless abyss. We are who we are and we define ourselves. In this vast universe, we are so lucky. We are sound and normal people. Living a good life is the greatest blessing and confidence [Love] [Love] [Love]

This is a crazy world, with so many seemingly "abnormal" people dancing around. We may not understand the world of mental patients, but in fact, no one wants to be "sick" when they are born. In the eyes of ordinary people, mentally ill people are crazy people or mentally abnormal people. However, in their world, there may not be complicated interpersonal interactions, and they may not be so influenced by the material world. They are only immersed in their own world. They may seem crazy, but in fact they are real geniuses.

This book has narrowed the distance between "madmen" and "normal people". I objectively feel that those so-called madmen and so-called mentally ill people actually do not want to become like this. A normal person will turn into a lunatic as long as they encounter someone suddenly, just like the girl who suddenly fainted in the article. Although her brain was not traumatized or stimulated, she suddenly became a person with only one day of memory. For many mental patients, I thought they used mental illness as relief to escape the world, but in fact they not only have to endure the pain caused by the disease, but they are also imprisoned in hospitals and treated as inappropriate people. Even those who are not sick will be subconsciously considered to be mentally ill when they are sent to the hospital. Things that they think are normal will be considered to be done by crazy people. For example, only a crazy person will keep saying the same sentence, and only a crazy person will stubbornly argue with you about what he thinks is the truth.

What a wonderful book. Each case of more or less problems with the brain has enriched my knowledge and made me have a more comprehensive and objective view of the outside world. It's great!

So why is his reading out of sync?

The stories of "abnormal human beings" described by the author are just like the plots in movies, full of fantastic ideas. I especially loved the part about Amanda in the book, her persecutory paranoia was so interesting, just like I sometimes fantasize about being a superhero. However, if I had hallucinations like Amanda's, I might be frightened by myself. This book helped me understand more about the work of psychotherapists, and also made me pay attention to those around me who may need help.

My evaluation is that it's okay. I feel like I'm one step closer to those mentally abnormal people.

I have to say, after reading this, I feel like I am a genius, although I may be a fool [makes a face]

This book's discussion of many things is worth pondering, such as human nature, good and evil, or the boundary between genius and madness. The introduction of various psychological or mental diseases and the analysis of the examples in the book also gave me a rough understanding of relevant knowledge and faced the problems in this area, which benefited me a lot [send heart] [send heart], but I also found that a small part of the content in the book deviated from the information I queried, so we still have to keep an open mind. After all, it is not a documentary or popular science work. Overall, I like this book very much and recommend it [sending my heart]

Abnormalities have been all over the world since the beginning, it just happened to be today, or who knows when. Just like when there is light, there must be shadow. Rather, this world would be the most abnormal if there were no abnormalities.

✎ All prejudices come from limitations of vision and cognition

We cannot know their true thoughts and feelings with complete certainty, and we cannot absolutely judge whether what they express is true or false, so the truth or falsehood of a story becomes difficult to define and depends on our cognitive perspective and judgment standards. No one in the world is born with the wish to suffer from mental illness. The seemingly "abnormal" behaviors of mentally ill patients such as dancing and dancing are often due to some conditions in their brains that are beyond ordinary people's understanding. They are also experiencing pain and confusion in their own unique spiritual world. We should have more understanding and sympathy for them instead of discrimination or prejudice.

The reason why people have some delusions or hallucinations is mainly because the brain does not listen to instructions, and the left brain receives wrong instructions from the right brain, resulting in distorted understanding and judgment. Sometimes our brains trick us. Lying is a natural ability! From the moment we learn to speak, we have learned to lie. The essence of hypnosis is actually psychological suggestion. Sometimes, the more eager you are to prove yourself, the less you can prove it. Because no one is willing to follow your way of thinking. There is a fine line between "normal" and "abnormal". Childhood is the period when human nature slowly unfolds. The emotional feelings, memories, consciousness, etc. During this period will leave a deep impression on people, and will have a qualitative impact on people's aesthetic psychology and the shaping of their outlook on life, values, and world view. Whether you understand my answer or not, please believe that everyone has a wonderful world of their own, where there are countless Pandora's boxes waiting for you. ——2025.8.15

There is only a thin line between many geniuses and madmen. Their spirits and psychology are similar to those of madmen, and their ways, angles, and levels of thinking and understanding are different from ordinary people. Therefore, they create and invent masterpieces and inventions that ordinary people cannot. Just like Ting Zhaozhong said: "The distance between a genius and a mentally abnormal person is very short." The great philosopher Aristotle also once said: "There is no genius who is not a little bit crazy." Therefore, the price of genius is that his own spirit and psychology are very different from ordinary people, which ordinary people cannot understand or even fear. The mental and psychological problems of some writers are caused by the shadow of childhood and their own experiences, which is also reflected in their works. Just like Andersen, his father had a great influence on him during his childhood. His father loved him and cared for him, and would tell him stories and give him suggestions for the stories he told. His father made his childhood more beautiful, happy and fulfilling. The death of his father also caused great trauma to him. The shadow of his father can be seen everywhere in his "Andersen's Fairy Tales". He vented the trauma, heartache, and various emotions caused by his father's death in writing, and used writing to relieve and express his sadness and longing.

Why is it different from the physical book I bought? There are too few stories, and I couldn't get enough of it.

It's very good. It contains a lot of knowledge.

Crazy or genius, ordinary or outstanding, they all have their own definitions. What I think is where I am! 2025.6.24

It tells a lot of thought-provoking phenomena and is very interesting.

The story is very detailed, and I felt very inspired when I read the vivid descriptions of my past illnesses and worries.

This book tells the author's true thoughts. You have to stop and think after every chapter. It really tested my understanding ability because I am relatively young, but I did not find it boring at all when reading it! Really worth recommending!
