2015 19th Tuesday Change

just saw an article about the change (http://www.eeo.com.cn/2013/0203/239738.shtml), said very well, excerpt himself has resonance as follows:

"Change" is one of the oldest but always highly active topics in human life. Whether east or west, there are similar "three-year-old see big, seven-year-old look at the old" such a proverb, can be seen how difficult a person's change. Although we will continue to learn knowledge in adulthood, however, our view of the world, values, the perspective and direction of the problem, the depth of our personality, the success of failure, the risk of income, the relationship between people, self-awareness, and so on a series of "implicit" mental models are often very early stereotypes, and will continue to strengthen themselves- - This self-hardening is one of the most difficult reasons to change .

There are two kinds of change , one is personal change, the other is organizational group change. A person wants to change oneself, must understand oneself first. It's like trying to solve a problem by first understanding the topic. Knowing ourselves is an even more ancient question, and the ancient Greeks carved "know yourself" on the pillars of the Temple of Apollo, and before the anatomy and neuroscience developed, our understanding of ourselves was largely the reflection of introspection, and introspection until today is still a useful way to inspire psychology, However, to verify a lot of problems, we can not leave more "material" means, such as advanced vigorous development of brain science .

I have divided the development of "personal change" into two eras. Before the modern psychology method, the individual changes the class the book to be inspirational, the mind, the story and so on mainly, is also the traditional "the psychological self-help" (self-help) kind of book. Carnegie's books are typical examples of self-help books. This kind of books is not useless, but the effect is different, because no matter how bad the story, can always say that the stint, if said in the stint is precisely what some people are missing, it is equivalent to the person's "change Jigsaw" in the missing part, but for others may not be useful. But the disadvantage of this kind of books is the essence of dross Yiguoduan, the lack of scientific experiments to repeat the verification, you never know which is the dross which is the essence, perhaps the author does not necessarily know. On the other hand, you don't know whether the method described in the book has any effect on your own particular situation. This first kind of psychology self-help books and the author of the most classic and famous is included in a book called "Self-Help Classics", in which you can see a lot of familiar names: Dale Carnegie, Stephen Covey, Anthony Robbins, Dibback Chobra and so on.

With the vigorous development of modern psychology, cognitive science and neuroscience, the authors of the second category of books, "What Makes Your Brain Happy and", "the author of should do the opposite", collectively refer to such books as "scientific self-help classes" (Scienc E-HELP). Representative works include: "Transient" (Switch), "The Power of Habit" (the Power of Habit), "willpower" (willpower), "positive energy" and so on.
