In this pluralistic and complex society, each of us may have contradictory thoughts and behaviors deep down.
American writer Jennifer Church's "Self-Contradiction is Understandable" is such a profound analysis of the phenomenon of double consciousness.
Through wonderful discussions, this book leads readers to delve into those seemingly contradictory but pervasive double psychology.
Each chapter of the book is carefully designed, from self-perception at the individual level to the clash of values at the social level, and Jennifer Church reveals the deep reasons behind these contradictions with her unique perspective.
She points out that these competing schemas can mislead us in our understanding of the nature of the world, and may even harm ourselves or others.
At the same time, she also explores the psychological mechanisms by which people choose to make two parallel choices in order to avoid making choices between the two schemas.
In the "Addendum" section of the book, the self-contradiction is described in a broader perspective in an inopportune situation.
This section not only enriches the book, but also provides us with a more comprehensive perspective on how dual consciousness influences our behavior and decision-making in certain contexts.
"Self-contradiction" is not only a psychological work, it is also a profound reflection on self-perception and social behavior.
It teaches us that contradiction is not unacceptable, but rather that it is part of human nature and an important way for us to find ourselves and understand others in a complex world.
By reading this book, we can learn to be more tolerant of ourselves and others, and to deal with inner contradictions and conflicts more rationally.
This book is undoubtedly a valuable work for readers who are eager to gain an in-depth understanding of human nature and improve their self-awareness.
It can not only help us realize our own double consciousness, but also guide us how to make wiser choices in the face of contradictions.
In this world, each of us is a unique being.
"There is nothing wrong with contradictions" makes us realize that even if our hearts are full of contradictions, this is a normal and natural state.
By understanding and accepting our dual consciousness, we can better understand ourselves and live in better harmony with the world.
Let's open this book together and start a profound exploration about ourselves and the world.
