The life of inside

Now, I’m starting to read a text book named “psychology applied to Modern life”. My Major

in the university is about business, but I think I will have a long journey in the 4 years. To a large

extent, I would like to try to find what people think inside. Sometimes, I’m really enjoy in trying to

figure out the reasons or the causes of why people do something in their personal ways. So, I choose

the topic which is about psychology.

In this text book, the contents are very interesting and useful. It pointed out many common

questions people could have in their daily life. Doctors present their observations which can show the

causes or the correlation between the variables. Some points make me have a speculation, such as why

people are often in a conflict situation: people feel they don’t have enough time, but they spend most

of their leisure time on one of the technology inventions,television; more and more people are in the

middle or upper classes, they begin to consider luxuries, however, most people are not satisfied with their financial well-being; according to the development of our society, people have more choices which are available in the life, but over

choices can undermine their happiness and make them feel depress.

Another point also very interesting is the direction of people’s life. Many people have problems in their daily,

no matter which kind of problems. Most people think some problem that they can’t solve by themselves. Therefore,

they are trying to find something or someone to help them. For example, people who need some advice from a total

stranger would like to call Dr. Debbie on the radio, even though most of them are wasting their time. Because the

Dr. never give them a clear answer or he can lead them to a wrong direction. Moreover, sometimes her or his

advice can make them more confused. The question is why people keep calling; even most people know they won’t

get the answer from the Dr? The same thing happens on the SelfHelp books. Authors write the selfhelp books to

“help”people who have common problem in their daily life. They make a title which can attract people’s attention,

such as “To be happy”, “To be more popular”…..which can make people have many imaginations. Most people will

jump into the trap, because they care about their weight, looks, social status, and sex appeal. When they meet some

problems, they hope someone can tell them it’s not their fault. The book will make many promises that can convince

people buy it, if they want to solve their problems easily. The same question is why people keep buying those ridiculous self-help books, even though they know most of them don’t provide clarity in communication, and sufficient visual support,

and particular kind of problem.
