As a child I was perplexed by these phenomena of the human psyche: Why would a powerful or rich person humiliate a weak person? Why alone?Just because he has no money, he is belittled by everyone and lives in humiliation? Why does a person go crazy or even commit suicide because he can't bear some things psychologically? Today, human beings have already stepped out of the primitive jungle described by the British political philosopher Hobbes, in which man is like a wolf to man.However, the reality is frustrating. In today's era, people are increasingly caught up in the "war of everyone against everyone".

In the violence of hierarchy, the discrimination of values, and the cruel game of psychological competition, I painfully discovered that there is a psychological food chain of "big fish eats small fish, and small fish eats shrimp", which invisibly dominates the world. men and women. In the chain of this psychological food chain, a person loses psychologically, and many times loses in the world.It is not only difficult for the psychologically weak to avoid being devoured psychologically, but they may even lose their entire life because of their inner weakness. It takes courage to admit this: a person feels inferior and anxious because of "no house and no car", is provoked by an offensive word from his boss or others, feels empty and confused because he cannot control his own destiny, and is suppressed because of desires and weaknesses. Manipulation, making stupid mistakes at key steps in life because of psychological and cognitive problems, all have such characteristics: mentally weak, he is no longer the master of himself, he loses control of things related to himself ability.

Specifically, a mentally weak person hands over the mastery of the self to those social game rules that can control his psychology, to those values ​​that enslave him, to a false "self", to the Those who want to control him because of their interests and psychological cravings.He had lost touch with himself in the dark, in the mysterious workings of blind and powerful psychic laws. People do not come into this world to bear the psychological devastation of others or certain things.So, can a person, especially a kind person, be psychologically strong enough to resist those harms from the outside world?

My original intention of writing this book, as summed up by a netizen, is to protect kind-hearted people who are in a disadvantaged position in today’s era from being harmed psychologically.But in fact, our analysis of the reasons for a person's psychological weakness is itself an in-depth cracking of the psychological laws that control us.And the process of a person becoming mentally strong is a process of changing psychology, analytical ability and even the whole existence.Therefore, this book is open to all those who want to change themselves, those who want to protect themselves, or even those who just want to learn the powerful tool of psychoanalysis.

In the sense of "art", the powerful analysis, insight and training of the heart is intended to enable us to gain the ability to see through the truth of society and people's hearts from the mind, and to resist the blow psychologically; while in the sense of "Tao", it is The re-examination and positioning of our existence makes us think about life in the universe. Putting forward a practical theory and training of "inner strength" that is fundamentally different from Buddhist thought, "rarely confused" thought, and cold game thought in popular language, I am completely on the side of Socrates, Freud , Fromm and other masters of thought.I am always grateful for the influence and change they have had on me over the years.And for those netizens and readers who have been influenced by me and changed themselves or want to change themselves through reading, I am grateful.

Now, I can say, from today, let us be the masters of a strong self. In the book, my expressions are sometimes more playful, and the purpose is to make it easier to understand; Show it shockingly in rhetoric, the masses must love the truth.I agree. It is for sequence. Shi Yong May 8, 2011
