The book of the mind refers to these three books:

1, richard wiseman's Four Rules of Luck (USA);

2. Insensitive by Junichi Watanabe (Japanese);

3. The Brain Revolution by Masahiko Fujiwara (Japan).

(1) Introduction to the Four Lucky Principles 1. Abstract: The Four Lucky Principles were put forward by Dr Richard richard wiseman of the United States. He believes that people are not born with good luck. Some lucky people succeed not because they are particularly diligent or clever, but because they often unconsciously create good luck through their own mentality and behavior. Through the investigation and analysis of a large number of lucky and unlucky people, Dr. Wiseman finally summed up the "four basic principles of lucky life" involving psychological factors. He found that these principles can be used to increase good luck in people's lives. This revolutionary book reveals four lucky principles that can greatly change life from a scientific point of view. He said, "Try it. If you can notice the following four principles in your life, you will be lucky! " . This book is divided into three parts and nine chapters. China has translations of Zhang Jiayu, Fu Quansheng and He Jine. The following is a summary of the "Four Principles of Luck" and its main significance and mystery in Chapter 3-6 of the second part of this book.

2. About the author: Dr. richard wiseman is a professional magician who has won a grand prize and is one of the youngest members of the magic circle. He holds a first-class honorary degree in psychology from the University of London and a doctorate in psychology from the University of Edinburgh, and was awarded the prestigious perrot-Warwick Scholarship from Trinity College, Cambridge. He is now the head of a research institute in the Department of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, and is responsible for a series of different topics of party building, including ghosts and miracles, magic, lies, intuitive psychology and so on. Many well-known scientific magazines in the world have reported Dr. Wiseman's events, including Natural Punishment Weekly, Science Weekly and Psychology Monthly. He expounded his research results at many national and international academic conferences, and was invited to give speeches on his research topics at the Royal Society, the Royal Society of Art and the Royal Institute. ?

3. Four principles of luck Source: Dr. Wiseman believes that luck has the magical power to reverse Gan Kun. Because of this, people have been looking for an effective way to increase their good luck in life for thousands of years. But it is useless to pray to God and Buddha, so is there a scientific way to analyze luck? What qualities do lucky people have? What skills and exercises can improve good luck? So he began to organize a research team more than ten years ago, and advertised through the national media, recruiting more than 1000 lucky and unfortunate volunteers to participate in a unique investigation and study, and carefully studied the differences in thinking and behavior between the two groups. The research results are very interesting, which reveals that people should look at luck and its important role in our lives with a new perspective. When Wiseman's research draws to a close, a group of people who think they are unlucky come to receive guidance on how to think and act according to the four basic principles of lucky life. As a result, almost all the participants claimed that their lives had undergone great changes, including luck, confidence and achievements. Finally, Dr. Wiseman summed up the "four rules of luck" involving psychological factors, which can be used to increase the number of good luck in one's life. The four principles of luck can make people get more luck in life.

(2) Introduction of "insensitive force" 1. Summary: In Japanese dictionaries, there is only "insensitive power" and there is no word "insensitive power". The word "insensitive power" was invented by Junichi Watanabe, a famous Japanese doctor of medicine. According to his own explanation: "Passivity can be literally translated into dull strength, that is, facing the setbacks and pains in life calmly and moving forward firmly in the direction set by yourself." It aims to warn modern people that being too sensitive is easy to get hurt, and cultivating "passivity" is "the means and wisdom to win a better life and luck".

He thinks that modern people's life is very complicated, tense and competitive, and everything needs to be fast-paced, sensitive and quick-witted, which can easily lead to mistakes and mistakes, and at the same time, it can easily lead to imbalance in all aspects of their body, mind and society. In contrast, if you can develop a stable, cautious and sophisticated personality, you can produce a special kind of "strength"-firm endurance, firm flexibility and fine intelligence, which will greatly improve the success rate and luck. The author thinks that the way of studying ancient Confucianism in China is: "erudition, doubt, thinking, understanding and faith." Taoist Laozi said: "Great wisdom is stupid, great wisdom is clumsy, and great argument is false." Is this also a fact?

It is said that Junichi Watanabe's "Insensitivity" was recommended by the industry to the then Ampere Cabinet after its publication, which aroused the Japanese people's enthusiasm for reading.

"There is no word" insensitive "in Chinese. Literally, "sudden feeling" is easy to give people negative feelings such as slow response, cleverness and agility, and is the antonym of sensitivity, alertness and sensitivity. However, the word "insensitive" should be understood as "the power of sudden feeling", that is, the power or ability and energy generated by consciously adopting the method of "sudden feeling" in work or social interaction is a strategic way, stable, not impetuous, not blind and endurance. She is another talent that transcends people's general talents and can make people's talents blossom and bear fruit. This is not what ordinary people can do. Judging from the content of the book, passivity has far-reaching significance and wide influence. She can cultivate her self-cultivation when she is young, and she can run the country with her family when she is old. The feelings of some readers trying to read are worth our reference. "。 Generally speaking, boredom is not a real boredom, but another talent. In order to let friends better understand the content of the book "Insensitivity", an e-book translated by Li is attached. Click 1-4 in the list to read all.

(3) Introduction to Brain Revolution 1. Summary: In my opinion, the so-called brain revolution is the problem of improving human brain function and developing brain potential. On this issue, it used to be considered in medicine that the number of brain cells in people is about 654.38+0.4 billion after birth, and it will only decrease in the future, especially in old age, and the weight of the brain will be reduced. Therefore, the memory, thinking, intelligence and many other functions of the elderly will decline, and some even have brain atrophy and dementia. However, in the 1970s and 1980s, after many scholars' research, it was suggested that:

(1) To increase the number and function of brain cells, as long as the brain function can be exercised regularly and the necessary protein and nucleic acid can be fully supplied, not only brain cells will increase, but also dendrites and axons with different lengths will continue to grow, storing information and extending around, connecting with other nerve cells and transmitting information to each other. The more and closer these protruding nerve cells are, the higher people's intelligence will be.

(2) In addition, the research also proves that the function of the human brain also follows the law of "use in and waste out". If we can insist on regular use and exercise of brain function, it will delay the reduction of the number of brain cells and the attenuation of function;

(3) Studies by physiologists and psychologists have proved that although there are about 65.438+04 billion brain cells, only about 654.38+00% of them are actively used every day, while others are dormant and useless. Therefore, people think that the function of human brain has great potential. It is said that if all the nerve cells in a person's brain are fully utilized, all the books in Beijing Library can be put in. Therefore, how to stimulate and utilize the potential of human brain has become an important research topic for modern brain neuroscientists.

(4) Cosmic holographic monotheists and Qigong scientists also believe that all the information of the universe is stored in people's brains, and some psychic people and Qigong scientists who have practiced Qigong can receive information from the universe and send it to distant people or things. Is this the so-called harmony between man and nature?

Through the above understanding of the special functions of the human brain, we can see how necessary it is to carry out a "brain revolution".

2. Let's start with Professor Masahiko Fujiwara, a Japanese mathematician at Tea Women's University. He is talking about the brain revolution: maybe in 2008? Professor Masahiko Fujiwara published an article entitled "Brain Revolution —— Six Conditions for Cultivating Genius" in the May issue of the Japanese monthly Literature Spring and Autumn Annals. After the article was published, it caused a great shock in the Japanese education circle, and a reporter interviewed him. Now I will briefly introduce what I talked about below:

What is thinking and creativity? Mr. Masahiko Fujiwara, a Japanese mathematician and professor at Tea Women's University, told us that human thinking has incredible power. He believes that ambition, knowledge, persistence, optimism, rational thinking and feelings for beauty are six conditions for cultivating creativity.

First, "ambition". This is the starting point of a problem. No matter how smart a person is and how hard he studies, nothing can be created without ambition. It is important to have the desire to solve problems that others can't solve in the world. Ambition is a lofty desire to pursue truth.

Second, knowledge. Mr. Fujiwara Masahiko believes that creativity and originality are good. When challenging the unknown world, the only weapon we can hold in our hands is the knowledge accumulated in human life so far. Except perseverance and hard work, there is no other way to make use of the vast amount of knowledge and learning in history. People with special talents are not uncommon, but nothing can be achieved without hard work. It seems that genius should be interpreted as "a person with a genius spirit of hard work".

Third, insist. The important thing is that sometimes I think about it for half a year or even a year, but I still get nothing. Sometimes it takes years to think. You must keep thinking, whether you are awake or asleep. Mr. Fujiwara Masahiko's method is to put a pen and paper next to the pillow and record his inspiration at any time. If you are tortured by a problem for a month, half a year or even a year, it is very painful physically. In the first few months, I was really full of thoughts and happy. However, after several failed attempts, inspiration will be on the verge of exhaustion and be plagued by inferiority and disappointment all day. Mr. Fujiwara Masahiko said: "I gave up on myself several times ... but every time I came to this field, the god of mathematics would smile at me. It is this courage and physical strength that helped me to abandon depression and self-disgust."

Fourth, optimism. It is said that Kōnosuke Matsushita once asked such a question in the employee recruitment examination: Do you think you are a lucky person? As a result, those who answered "bad luck" were not hired. This is because only those optimistic people who feel lucky and can succeed as long as they work hard can achieve great things.

Mr. Fujiwara Masahiko believes that not being optimistic is not necessarily unsuccessful, but there is no way to concentrate on perseverance. Optimism can be cultivated, and there is only one way, that is, to be praised and encouraged by people you trust or have authority. At this point, you can be confident and play several times your own strength. On the contrary, if you want to destroy a student, all a teacher has to do is mumble "You really have no talent". The same is true of educating your own children.

Fifth, think rationally. Rational thinking is of course necessary. But compared with ambition, knowledge, persistence and optimism, its importance is relatively low.

Sixth, the perception of beauty. Mr. Fujiwara Masahiko thinks that the most important thing is "perception of beauty". Geniuses are born in a specific environment, one of which is that they all grow up surrounded by beautiful things without exception. The perception of beauty is not innate, but cultivated through environment, family and education.

What matters is the happiness of the thought itself. You should let your feet, eyes, ears and brain exert their maximum energy to walk, see, listen, think and exercise. When you are a teenager, you should dare to challenge math problems, get in touch with beautiful nature and art, and read excellent novels, which will make your brain happy. This may be the most effective way to train creativity.
