"Night Walk in Brocade"

Author: Cheng Yinan

Content Introduction:

This This book discusses phenomena that are common to everyone, but few people think about in depth. I hope that by bringing in the perspective and ideas of psychology, I can help everyone gain a deeper understanding of how the world works, how people interact with each other, and a person's development and growth. Of course, there are still too many unknowns in both the world and ourselves, but I hope that after understanding these ideas, everyone will be able to "walk at night" - using sophisticated knowledge to explore the dim world and illuminate themselves. ——Cheng Yinan

"Happiness Lesson"

Author: Motivation in Hangzhou

Content introduction:

"How can we achieve happiness" is a grand proposition that attracts me now. I am doing some teaching and research on positive psychology and have some relevant knowledge. I am also thinking about and practicing them in my work and life. Part of my thinking became this book. Sometimes, I laugh at myself as a "professional chicken soup seller", but I am actually very afraid of others saying that about me. I know that the world is a big place and everyone is unique. What I say is always true. I hope this book can give you some inspiration, but I also know that it cannot provide you with complete answers. "How can we be happy?" This question is asked by life to each of us, and the answer we write down is our life. ——Motivation in Hangzhou

"One Hour Away"

Author: Li Songwei

Content introduction:

No matter how much you say or how little you say, one hour really won’t produce any miracles. There is a saying in psychological counseling: "Real changes happen within an hour." This means that some things are like seeds that are buried in the soil and will not be seen for a long time. But don't be discouraged, the whole thing doesn't stop there. During this period of time, very potential changes have actually been taking place, that is, this seed is constantly growing and growing until it breaks out of the ground. The soil that nourishes this seed and allows it to continuously change is everyone's own life. ——Li Songwei

"Goodbye Procrastination"

Author: Motivation in Hangzhou

Content introduction:

We don’t need to fight procrastination in a life-and-death battle and knock it to the ground. If procrastination disappears, we have parted ways with it amicably and can tolerate its return from time to time. After all, our ultimate goal is not to overcome procrastination, but to get things done and still feel happy. If we think about it this way, there's a lot we can do. ——Motivation in Hangzhou

"The True Medicine"

Author: Qingliu

Content introduction:

I am a person who likes authenticity. I believe that truth itself can give people freedom, freedom of the soul. I also hope that I can tell the truth as much as possible, or that others can see things as they really are from my words. Because my experience tells me that if each of us can see the truth in ourselves, others, every moment, and every experience, many of our painful thoughts and rules will disappear, and we can live more relaxedly. Be more natural and more real.

At this stage, it's optional, but something is better than nothing. I hope this subject, like Zhihu, can become the salt of your life. ——Ye Zhuang
