Many people have made weight loss plans, study plans, fitness plans and running plans, but many people have failed to stick to them. Why? ?

Many people have studied time management, which is successful, efficient and fast-reading, but it is still mediocre. Why?

Such a problem seems simple, but it is actually confusing and depressing. Is there a way for us to learn to persist and make achievements in a certain field through persistence?

I accidentally saw the book How to Think and Do, and suddenly I felt a heartfelt ecstasy. This feeling is like, after years of climbing mountains and mountains, I finally found a lot of treasures on a mountain, only to find that I couldn't take them home, and suddenly a car came. The book How to Think and How to Do It is just the car I need, and maybe it is just what you need. ?

The book How to Think and How to Do was written by sean young. He is a professor at UCLA School of Medicine and the founder of the Center for Mathematical Behavior at the Institute of Predictive Technology at UCLA. In 20 13, in order to test the validity of behavioral science model, he worked as an insurance broker and academic professor for less than three months and became the sales champion on the west coast of the United States. ?

This book, mainly around seven kinds of weapons, reveals the scientific principle and power of weapons, analyzes three kinds of human behaviors, and finally teaches people how to integrate seven kinds of weapons and improve themselves. These seven weapons were not invented by the author out of thin air, but were obtained through scientific methods and practice. The author of the book has some homework when introducing each weapon, so this is a real reference book, not a book of chicken soup for the soul, and it is worth reading. ?

Many books on the market reveal the secret of success, which is to cultivate good habits. Those books, the answer they told us is to change your original appearance, but this book does not require us to change the original appearance, we can achieve it through scientific intervention, thinking and doing. ?

The scientific principle behind the seven weapons?

1. The more weapons are used, the greater the probability of persisting in achieving the goal. They have the function of superposition. ?

2. Don't change who you are?

3. Just understand the science behind lasting change and design a set of action steps that suit you.

Mastering the power of seven weapons?

Seven kinds of weapons represented by English letters are called S C I E N C E model for short. ?

Weapon 1: ladder model

What is a ladder model? As the name implies, it's a ladder. Climb up the ladder. Ladder mode is the easiest weapon for ordinary people to use. Anytime, anywhere, without any conditions, one person can achieve it. ?

The ladder model is not a formula to realize your dreams, it is just a formula to keep you on track. In order to change behavior, we should pay attention to the daily process, not the result. ?

Taking the ladder model as a weapon, the author mentioned an anchoring effect. The author says that different environments can make a person focus on irrelevant things that can affect the final decision. In other words, the environment will change people's answers. The same question, asked the same person in different environments, may get different answers. ?

Weapon 2: social magnetism?

What we use most now is WeChat group. Wechat group is a community, and community is a way to build social magnetism. ?

The quality that a community can bring lasting changes to people: about 15% people are role models. There are four kinds of role models that we often use to build communities, namely experts, celebrities, communicators and local role models. ?

The more you actively participate in community activities, the stronger the social magnetism that the community brings to you, and the more likely you are to achieve lasting changes. ?

Weapon 3: What matters first?

If people think it's important, they can stick to it. ?

You can't insist on losing weight, writing and exercising, which only shows that this matter is not important enough for you, and there are more important things in your life. ?

I like to visit Taobao, watch bubble dramas and smoke. Why can't these bad habits be changed? It just means they're important to you. If you think these bad habits must be changed, then?

Please find yourself a new motivation, a new reason, something more important than these bad habits. ?

Weapon 4: extremely easy?

People like to do easy things and will insist on doing extremely easy things. ?

Therefore, if we insist on one thing, we should keep it as simple as possible.

The author says that no matter how stupid a thing looks, if it is easy to use, people will use it. ?

Weapon five: act first.

Behavior changes, so does consciousness. This is a highlight of this book. It subverts what the predecessors said. Only by changing ideas can we change our actions. Some people may need years or even a lifetime to learn to change their thoughts and thus their behaviors. But if according to the author's theory, behavior comes first, then change is a matter of minutes and seconds.

With regard to changing behavior, the author particularly emphasizes that you don't have to control your own thoughts, just make some small changes in your behavior, and your consciousness will change accordingly. ?

Weapon 6: Fatal temptation

Fatal attraction can make you persist irresistibly. In life, it is often some bad habits that we don't want that can attract us fatally. For example, online shopping, such as playing online games. What is the scientific principle behind these things that make us want to stop? The principle is that this incident makes us feel rewarded and immediately satisfied. Learn to use quick repair and slow repair. Make sure you get a reward as soon as you complete these steps. ?

Weapon 7: Repeat Inscription

Turn behavior into habit and set habit as default. ?

The seven weapons mentioned above, so which weapon should we choose? What kind of weapon to choose depends on what kind of behavior we have. ?

Three types of human behavior?

There are always three types of our behaviors. Here we call them Class A behaviors, Class B behaviors and Class C behaviors. ?

Class a behavior refers to automatic behavior, that is, the behavior we do unconsciously?

Class B behavior refers to impulsive behavior, that is, we need to do or miss him impulsively.

Class C behavior refers to common behavior, that is, we consciously choose to do it. ?

First, we need to determine what kind of behavior we want to try to change. Secondly, once we determine that something is an untyped behavior, we can use one of these seven weapons to change it. ?

How to think and how to do it?

1, first clarify the type of behavior you want to change?

2. Choose a weapon that can change the corresponding behavior?

You can't use only one weapon.

The more weapons are used, the better the effect will be.

As long as you are clear about your behavior and use the corresponding weapons, there is nothing you can't think of.

At the same time, the author also said that behavior change is very difficult. Don't expect changes to happen naturally after reading this book, but you must believe that behavior changes can be achieved. As the old saying goes, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, and the second best time is now. ?

Due to space reasons, I didn't specifically talk about each weapon and analyze each form. If you feel interested, you can read the original book How to Think and Do. I hope this book review can help you a little. Thank you for insisting on reading my book review! ?
