Sunday afternoon.

Tang Mingyao sent Luo Wenxi to the painting extracurricular class he inquired about before, accompanied her to register, and after leaving her to study in class, he went out and went to Xinhua Bookstore to hang out.

In the past few days, Mr. Xiaoyu's words have been lingering in my ears.

Tang Mingyao looked at himself and found that he did have the advantages that the other party said, which made him have a small flame in his heart, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to verify whether the so-called talent was really useful.

It's just that this thing is not a physical experiment, it's not easy to verify, you have to have an experimental object, think about it, or buy a book to read it first.

In fact, there are very few books on psychology in these years, and when I walked around the bookstore, I didn't find any particularly professional books, only a famous copy of "The Rabble: A Study of Mass Psychology" in my previous life.

Tang Mingyao stood in front of the bookshelf and flipped through it casually.

The book was written in 1895, 105 years ago, and it is an old antique.

But when he casually turned to a page, the first sentence he saw touched him deeply.

"We think we're rational, we think our every move makes sense. But in fact, the vast majority of our daily actions are the result of hidden motives that we simply cannot understand ourselves. ”

This sentence corresponds to Luo Wenxi, which is very suitable.

The girl wanted to drop out of school, she felt that she was justified and deliberate, but to outsiders, it was actually very reckless, and she herself could not detect what the most hidden motive behind her was to do so.

Then turn it over again.

"Isolated individuals have the ability to control their own reactive behavior, while groups do not."

"Without tradition, there is no civilization; There can be no progress without the slow elimination of traditions. ”

"There are only two things that the community can do – the icing on the cake or the culmination."

…………

There is no need to turn it over anymore, Tang Mingyao felt that he liked this book, so he decisively paid for it.

Back outside the classroom where Luo Wenxi was classing, he found a chair in the corridor and sat down, then read a book, and quickly sank in, fascinated by it.

At some point, a slender white hand shook back and forth between his eyes and the pages of the book, pulling him back to reality.

"What are you looking at? You won't be able to answer the shouts. The girlfriend asked.

Tang Mingyao raised his head: "I was making some attempts, and I saw an old book, which touched me deeply." ”

Luo Wenxi was curious: "Is it so powerful?" What books do I read. ”

took it from his hand, flipped through a few pages, frowned, and said, "I can't understand what is written." ”

Tang Mingyao said with a smile: "Everyone has what they like and is good at, so you don't have to force yourself to understand it." How was it to experience a drawing lesson? ”

Luo Wenxi said happily: "The foundation of teaching is very simple, it feels very good, it is completely different from attending classes at school, I think the time has not passed much, and it is time for the end of class." When I used to study at school, I always wanted to look at my watch, and I always wondered why I didn't finish class yet, but I didn't look at my watch once today. ”

"It means that you are interested in this. Come on, we'll come to the class once a week from now on. ”

Luo Wenxi nodded: "Okay!" ”

For the rest of the day, Tang Mingyao forgot to sleep and eat, and read this not thick book directly before going to bed.

Although some things are a bit outdated, he still made several pages of notes in his excerpt book.

After reading it, he had a feeling in his heart that this was what I wanted.

Suddenly, he found the feeling of studying hard and striving for a goal when he was first reborn.

To be honest, although it has only been less than two years since he was reborn, he has already achieved certain results through reading.

In terms of scores, he maintained the first place in his grade, and he also got a special enrollment quota from Jinghua University through the New Concept Essay Contest, and now his learning goal is to maintain his grades, mix until the end of high school, and then go to the university to study a major that I don't know what it is.

Then, either further education or seek a foothold in society.

Because the learning goals are not clear, the high school career is actually a mess for him, and recently he himself feels that he has lost his original intention when he was reborn.

In terms of money, although he is not rich and expensive, the money brought by writing cannot be spent on a daily basis, and he is ready to save the rest and invest it in his family's chain store, or wait until he goes to college and buy a house directly in the capital.

He really didn't know how to spend the rest of the money, after all, he was used to saving in his previous life.

A person has no direction to study, and he is not short of money, so what is his motivation to work hard?

This is how Tang Mingyao felt before.

And now, he has energy again, and the book "The Rabble" has opened the door to a new world for him.

He wanted to get more in touch with psychology and to learn more about the mysteries of the subject.

The next morning, Tang Mingyao took the time to go to the school library to rummage through it for a while, and found two books on psychology and came back.

A copy of Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams.

There is also a book, "Introduction to Psychology" published by Science Press in 1986, which looks like an introductory book or a college textbook.

The books in the school library are still richer than those in Xinhua Bookstore, and you can find a few professional books, although they are all relatively old.

Tang Mingyao was very satisfied and went back with the books, if it weren't for the fact that he could only borrow two books at a time with his student ID, he might have to go back with a few more.

Back in the classroom, Tang Xiaoyuan, who had missed many days of classes, finally came to school.

After staying in the hospital for so long, her whole face was pale, her cheeks were thin, and she looked sick.

Tang Mingyao said hello: "Tang Xiaoyuan, are you back?" Are you cured? ”

Tang Xiaoyuan nodded: "It's almost." I've missed a lot of classes, and I'd like to borrow your notes to take a look. ”

Tang Mingyao said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, you may not be able to understand the notes in my book, so it's better for you to find the study committee, he is the most serious and remembers the notes in the most detail." ”

Tang Xiaoyuan hesitated: "Okay, thank you." ”

Tang Mingyao sat back in his seat, took the two books in his hand, hesitated for a moment when which one to read first, and then chose "Introduction to Psychology".

It is best to get in touch with a subject first and then to make it difficult, which is conducive to the cultivation of interest.

I heard earlier that there are a lot of difficult contents in "The Interpretation of Dreams", and the ideas are more extreme, Tang Mingyao thinks that it is better to read it later.

So in the next few days, in addition to the necessary study and tasks, he basically spent his extracurricular time on this book.

There is a lot of content, and if you look at it carefully, it is like relearning a subject in college.

In the book, he saw the definition, origin, history, development, and genre of psychology, as well as how psychology came about, the scientific description of mental activity, the nature and characteristics of psychology, etc.

Later, there is a separate introduction to the lifelong development of people, feelings, perceptions, consciousness, learning and memory, emotions, and so on.

It took Tang Mingyao more than a week to read through the book, and then looked back at himself and the people around him, and felt that the realm was different.
