#8. “Psychological Aikido. Study guide", Mikhail Litvak

Mikhail Litvak is a psychiatrist, candidate of medical sciences, who has written more than 30 books on psychology. His works are suitable for those who experience difficulties in relationships with others, problems with socialization, do not know how to admit mistakes, or want to understand their lives.

The book “Psychological Aikido. Training manual" is written in the form of a training, where the author offers his own principles that will help improve communication.

A few insights from the book:

  • When talking with a partner, keep in mind that you are communicating with a person who has a good opinion of himself. This needs to be emphasized with all your appearance and wording during the conversation.
  • A smart manager explains and asks questions, listens to the opinions of colleagues, and supports the team’s initiatives. One gets the impression that he does not control, but is controlled.
  • Do not interrupt the person asking the question, let him speak to the end. It doesn’t matter that you and the rest of the listeners have long guessed what it’s about. The main thing is for the person to realize that you understand him.

Opinions of scientists and specialists

Scientists around the world have long been interested in the topic of thought energies. In connection with this, they have repeatedly made attempts to prove the unusual abilities of certain people (a striking and well-known example of this is Vanga). As a result, some explanations were discovered, including this: the energy of the thoughts of most people, directed towards a single goal, is united into an energy-information field, and then what is inherent in the thoughts of most people happens in the world and society around us.

According to Robert Gerard (writer, philosopher, founder of DNA activation seminars): “even the DNA program can be changed by the willful efforts of the person himself and the cultural traditions of the people around him.”

Diana Vladimirovna Yanina (cardiologist of the highest category at the Territorial Medical Association AMT “Centru”) believes: “A miracle is a phenomenon that is inexplicable from the point of view of our ideas about the laws of nature. But since it takes place, it makes sense to change your ideas about the laws of nature through continuous knowledge. Change your beliefs about yourself and the world around you, which will help you change the world around you and yourself.”

Today it is no longer a secret to anyone that one can heal with “the energy of thought.” Over his more than 20 years of practice, K.V. Asipova worked a lot with irradiated patients. By influencing the affected areas with her thought energy, which the scientist could easily identify on the patient’s body, she tried to reduce the severity of the disease.

Thus, combining all the above points of view, we can summarize: our thoughts and plans can materialize, and therefore be expressed in some objects and actions.

The materialization of thought has most clearly manifested itself in more than one experiment. So, the most famous of them is the experiment with water

, which was carried out at the end of the 20th century by the Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto, who attempted to prove that under the influence of human emotions, water changes its structure.

In the middle of the last century, Professor Winfried Otto Schumann of the Technical University of Munich made a stunning discovery - our planet, like a giant resonator, propagates ultra-low-frequency waves of a certain frequency (Wikipedia). An interesting fact is that nuclear physicist Robert Becker, measuring the brain waves of psychics during remote exposure sessions, was able to establish that some brain waves coincide with Schumann waves.

According to some researchers, an ordinary person who is not distinguished by supernatural abilities can gain access to this colossal energy. For this, as it turned out, it is only necessary that the hemispheres of the brain work in a synchronous rhythm. Materialization of words and thoughts occurs only in the event of the formation of a resonance of standing waves of the brain and standing waves of the surrounding space. And the result of resonance is the transformation of energy from one type to another, and in simpler words - the energy of words and thoughts is transformed into specific events in our lives.

A thought penetrates into our consciousness, and a thought that has “taken root in it” will certainly produce a result in the material plane, we can only wait for “when”. So, if you constantly think that you don’t have enough money, or that there is none at all, then you are setting a program for the Universe to act in relation to you only in one way and not in another way - and you get it in reality. If you criticize your life and those around you, you will receive a lot of annoying facts in response.

Remember, what happens in your thoughts will sooner or later become your reality, that’s why you only need to think positively! Be sure to sow good, bright, kind things in the subconscious - the subconscious is our most reliable and devoted partner in achieving success.

Everything will be as you want! Methodology for success

“Each person is given at least ten opportunities to change his life during the day. Success comes to those who know how to use them.” André Maurois is a French writer.

Do you know where the magic lies? In small tricks that you can successfully master. Here are some of them:

  1. See yourself in your thoughts only as the most beautiful, happy, living in abundance, joy and good surroundings.
  2. Make friends with intuition - a natural instinct, an inner voice, or a signal from the other world. It doesn’t matter what you call it, the main thing is to learn to listen - to listen and hear yourself.
  3. Be persistent and dedicated in your desires, determined only for success.
  4. Don’t be afraid of changes, otherwise there is every chance you will remain at a “dead point.”
  5. Smile more often.
  6. Love your neighbor.

The famous American professor Gates, based on chemical analyzes of sweat, blood, saliva, came to the conclusion: thoughts of envy, hatred, sadness, fear, etc. excite dangerous chemical processes in our body, which have the most detrimental and dangerous effect on our health. But thoughts of love, joy and goodwill, on the contrary, improve mental state and have a beneficial effect on the entire body.

Keep in mind that negative, negative thoughts poison us, but positive ones make us healthy. Love your neighbor as yourself, because, in essence, by loving the people around us and the whole world, we thereby show love for ourselves, and this means we attract only prosperity and goodness into our lives.

Susan Weinschenk's 100 Essential Design Principles

Susan Weishank is a doctor of psychology and a practicing designer who creates her work based on the information she receives from analyzing people's behavior and their psychology. Of course, such a design approach deserves at least attention, but I would argue that it deserves respect. Writing an entire book with the results of research by various scientists, which took more than 8,000 hours, is not the most trivial task. But the most important thing is that the research results described in the book entirely relate to people’s behavior when they interact with various results of designers’ work: websites, posters, posters, interfaces, etc... Regardless of the direction of your activity, you will find useful attraction tricks user attention.

Dan Roem "Visual Thinking Practice"

Previously, I would have advised reading Roem’s earlier book “Visual Thinking”, but just a couple of months ago an “updated” version of this book was released - “The Practice of Visual Thinking” - an expanded and updated version of his first book. If Zelazny’s first book talks more about the correct presentation of data: which graphs should be used in which cases, why some graphs are better than others, etc., then Roem’s book is more about the clarity of data presentation and about working with large amounts of information - how to correctly process information, how to structure it how to isolate the most important things.

#4. "The Supernatural Mind" by Joe Dispenza

Joe Dispenza is a professor of neurochemistry and neurobiology who studies the influence of the subconscious mind on human life. He proves that the right attitudes can change lives - eradicate bad habits, get rid of obsessive states and even cure diseases.

According to the author, by exploring the nature of their consciousness, people can change. In this case, the professor uses scientific justification.

A few insights from the book:

  • Chronic, long-term stress presses on genetic “buttons” that trigger all kinds of diseases.
  • A large brain allows people to think about their problems, rethink the past, and even predict the most negative events of the future. At the same time, we trigger an avalanche of stress hormones with just the power of thought.
  • Much of your brain is a product of your past. It has been shaped and fine-tuned to become a living record of everything you have learned and absorbed up to this point.

#9. “There are only psychopaths around”, Thomas Erikson

Thomas Eriksson is a Swedish social communication psychologist. Over the course of several decades, he has trained over 5,000 managers on how to be more effective leaders.

In this book, the author tries to explain who psychopaths are: how they think, how to identify similar people among friends and protect themselves from their influence.

A few insights from the book:

  • Psychopaths instinctively know how to manipulate others in order to achieve their goals and ensure their own comfort.
  • They are able to deceive anyone using the facts that they extracted from their victim. All in order to get what you want.
  • Psychopaths move through life, leaving behind them a trail of disasters and chaos.
  • In simple words, these are predators in human form. They cause harm to everyone they interact with, and often the victims do not even realize who is responsible for what happened.
