One of Zeng Shiqiang's Chinese Studies Wisdom Series. Teach you not to be angry, not anxious, not to complain, and to live freely and transparently. Professor Zeng Shiqiang is well versed in traditional Chinese culture and has extensive research on the character of the Chinese people. Professor Zeng believes that emotions such as anger, depression, and anxiety are just a reaction of people to the environment. They are not good or bad, but they deeply affect our lives. Therefore, we must understand emotions, accept emotions, and regulate emotions appropriately in order to live better and live in harmony with others.
Reader comments
20241013 Finished reading. Zeng Lao's book teaches us that the most fundamental and core way to stabilize our emotions is to "change our mindset." However, this is a long and difficult process, and it is not that easy. Cultivate your mind, cultivate your character, and cultivate yourself and others.
Thank you Mr. Zeng, thank God
After reading this, it's not that I don't feel angry anymore, but I understand that anger is just a natural phenomenon and you don't need to be too attached to your own obsessions.
A very good book. Anxiety and anger actually come from controlling your own emotions. In short, you have to learn to control your emotions. All good beginnings are based on emotions. An irritable person cannot talk well with others, and others cannot listen to anything he says. It's like saying that when you ask someone to do something, you must first be polite and make the person happy, and then you can talk about it and get into the topic of what you want to do. In this case, everything will go more smoothly.
There are also some people who talk about the difference between Chinese and foreigners. Foreigners like to be straightforward about yes, yes, and no, no. As for the Chinese, they like to be roundabout. They don't say yes or no. They say not necessarily, leaving themselves plenty of room.
Easy-to-understand principles are very helpful
I particularly like the book's point about "cultivating oneself and calming down others." Professor Zeng's words make sense. We must first stabilize our emotions before we can get along better with others. Moreover, the content in the book is very practical, such as how suspicious people can improve their alertness, which is very helpful to me. The overall writing style is also very approachable. It feels like chatting with a friend and is easy to understand and accept.
